VERMONT STATE FAIR
Big Exhibits i'm All Departments
Dates are September Is, is, IL
and Is.

The Vermont State Fair, an institu-
tion that has grown the past sever
years to be one Of Importance anc
magnitude, will be held at White River
Junction on Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday and Friday, Sept. Is, l6, II

the statement that the fair will be
larger in every department than here
tofore. He states that entries are
coming in earlier than usual and in
greater numbers.
The exhibit of Morgan horses, un-
der the direction Of the Morgan Horse
Club will no doubt show much inn
provement in this notable breed of
horses and tits anticipated that every
stall in this department will be filled.
The Club has been energetic the past
year and as a result the number of
breeders of Morgan horses has been
increased. The Club has demonstrate
ed that the breeding of Morgans is
profitable and its hope has been to
bring the Morgan back to popularity
and this, too, in the state where the
breed originated. But the clubs in
fluence has extended beyond Vermont
and horsemen of other states are
breeding Morgans. Many of the out
of the state Morgans will be seen at
the State Fair this year.
The cattle exhibit will contain about
all the known breeds, from dairy
breeds to fat cattle. There is no
place in New England where cattle
are shown in such large numbers as
at the Vermont State Fair.
Trotting this year will be a con-
spicuous feature, a large number of
entries having already been made.
The vaudeville features and the mid
way will be varied in character, plan
ned TO meet the tastes of all visitors.

Marching On

The world is growing better as
it logs along its way, though vir-
tue seems, at seasons, to be bal
ing little hay the wicked one may
conquer and be chesty for a day,
but Right is marching on. The
people oft are bunkoed by the
takers rigmaroles, and they hand
the Right, a package when they
gather at the polls, but they can't
be fooled forever-they'll awaken,
bless their souls! and Right goes
marching on. The world is
growing better. though the pessi-
mists proclaim every city is d
Sodom and the government a
shame; we are wise to all the
knockers and despise their dreary
game, and Right is marching on.
Oh, the Right will never falter till
its journeying is done; every year
a little closer to the goal that
must be won, every day little
nearer to the palace in the sun,
the Right is marching on. 1t
must cross the hills OF Hatred,
it must breast dark Errors food.
and the wicked will pursue it
with a lusting for its blood, but
the outcome still is certain, and
the wicked's name is Mud, and
Right goes marching on. 1t will
always come forth smiling from
the shadows of despair, it will live
through every ambush it will baf-
fe every snare, it is mighty and
undaunted, all the time and
everywhere, and still goes
marching on. WALT MASON.
