STATE FAIR WILL
BE HELD NEXT WEEK
Children Under Is Will Not Be Ad-
mitted = Fair Promises to Be the
Best in It's History.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Sept
5.-The order issued By the state board
Of health, in effect that children under
the ages of Is years must not attend
the fairs of the state will be observed
by the Vermont state fair commission
i'll the conduct of the state fair to be
held here Sept. u, 13, IA and 10. This
order was issued with the intention of
preventing the spread of infantile
paralysis.
That it will work hardship on all
fairs, especially the state fair, is GER
tain, and because of it the state fair
commission appeals to the adults of the
state to turn out in large numbers to
make mp for the enforced absence Of
the children. With a premium, list ag-
grcgating $4,000 and trotting purses
close to $4,000 it is necessary that the
attendance be large in order to cover
these obligations. No doubt the can
collation. of the Valley fair at Brattle-
boro will assist in stimulating the state
fair attendance to a considerable de-
gree, the Brattleboro fair having been
called off by the local board of health
The fair promises to be the best III
its history. Every effort has been put
forth TO provide attractions that VIII
please all patrons and the appeal now
being made to the patriotism Of the
people to assist all possible in making
the fair at least self-supporting this
year will no doubt find ready response
by the citizens.

BOARD FENCE MAKES
DANGEROUS TRAP
Suggestion Made that Traffic Officer
Be Stationed at Corner of Main
and Flat Streets.

The beginning of operations for the
erection Of Attorney General Fl. G.
BARRIERS new store, office and apart
ment building at Main and Flat streets
during the past two or three days and
the erection of board fence around
the site where the new building is to
DE erected makes an exceedingly dan
gerous trap at this corner in the public
streets, writes the Brattleboro CORES
pendent of the Springfield Sunday Re-
publican. 1t has been suggested that
ut would promote the safety of the
travelling public in Brattleboro more if
a day officer We're stationed at this
point. 1t is also suggested that an
other traffic officer ought to be put on
the street and kept at this point until
| the travelling public got accustomed to
the dangerous situation at this corner.
/ Since the wooden structure which
formerly stood on this lot burned down,
automobile traffic going up and down
the Main. street hill could easily get a
view out Flat street. With the erection
of the board fence around the contem-
plated structure the situation is far
worse than it ever was when the Ray
/ building and the small shoe shine shop
stood on the corner, and even then it
was considered a very dangerous corner
and several accidents were narrowly
Iaverted. Two years ago the selectmen
saw fit to arrange with the owner OF
the property to take down the shoe
shine stand at this corner in order tc
give the travelling public coming down
lMain-street Hill a chance to look out
Flat street and see if there We're any
approaching ears or to give the travel
ing public coming out Flat street f;
chance to look up Main-street hill
Main street is very narrow going dowl
this hill AMI especially so with a por
tion of the street taken off for build
ing purposes.
Hundreds Of cars pass the intersec
ton every day and many of them con
tain people touring through Brattlebor
who are not familiar with the DANCE
at this point and so are not on the look
ont for the large amount of trafli
which is continually coming out Fla
street on to Main street 1t has bee
suggested that if the village author
ties do not feel justified in arrangin
: for traffic officer at this dangerOu
point, prominent signs posted on bot
sides of this place might help to war
,, the public about the hanger.

Several narrow escapes from more or
less serious accidents have taken place
at the corner of Main and Flat streets
since the erection of the temporary
building and the high board fence at
the corner of the street. Late yester-
day there was slight collision in
which Ford ear was slightly damaged,
but no one was injured. Much criti-
cism is heard because the contractor has
been allowed to obstruct so much of a
public thoroughfare at a corner that is
very dangerous under the best of condi-
tions.

ALLIES
By LOUISE OLIVER.

1t all began the day Eleanor Belle turned to Robin a casual on1ooker at the tennis court, and said sweetly: Wont you play in this set with me, Mir. Dean? I'm afraid to ask, I'm horrid player; but"
 Robin had not allowed her to fin ish, in his haste to accept. He flushed consciously as he answered: '"Thank you, very much, Miss Belle. I'd be very much honored indeed to play with you
 And that is the way it began, for up to that minute Robin had regarded Eleanor Belle as an unapproachable planet of the upper heavens, with a group of satellites all her own, who far surpassed him in brilliance and age.
 Craig Halsted and Mary Lane, on the other side of the net, nodded under standingly to one another. "NelP s caught another fish," whispered Craig.
 But after all that wasn't the real be- ginning either. That happened years before one day when Robin was six years old and Betty Wright was three. That day a friendly collie dog had knocked Betty down and in sheer ex- tolerance of spirits was kissing her all over her little face when Robin came along on roller skates and bravely gave the tormentor a whack with a stick and drove him away.
 Betty and Robin had grown up chums, fighting each others battles, sharing each others joys, triumphing in each others victories.
 Even now, Robin flushed with con- scious pride as he thought of Betty. "Perhaps Miss Belle will let me walk home with her and we will pass Bets home Won't she be surprised, though, to see me chumming with such a queenn p
 He did walk home with Eleanor, and they did pass Bets" house, but so complete was his infatuation that he didn't see his old chum waving at him from a side porch swing.
 When he had left Eleanor at her door he went back to Bettys, stepping on clouds instead of the pavement. This time he saw his chum on the swing.
 Hello, Bet !"
Judsonia weekly advance., 1916-08-30

Hello, Rob! Whats up between you and Nellie Belle? You looked as thick as thieves going along min ute ago."
 ''Oh, we played tennis together, and I thought I'd better take her home"
 She's older than you, Rob !"
 Not much Besides it doesn't make any difference. It's all in the way you act"
 Betty was silent.
 In the days that followed Robin lived in happy haze of unreality and dreams. Eleanor was kind, too kind for his peace of mind, and she al- lowed him to call. But he found some of the satellites around when he went. That was no fun and he rather guessed they were making sport of him any way. So knowing the power of ridi- cule, he stayed away and had to con- tent himself with the telephone, notes and messages in boxes of candy and flowers.
 He found a willing ally in Betty, to whom he took all his troubles. She managed his campaign to perfection, and kept him posted as to the goings and comings of his rivals and planned opportunities for him to meet the ob- ject of his dreams.
 You're a brick, Bet What on earth would I do without you?" de- cIared Robin one day.
 "Oh, you'll get along all right some day when things get settled and you and Eleanor are married"
 Married !" he cried. Do you think she-oh, Bet, do you think she cares for me? But really I've never actu- ally told her that loved her."
 Well, why don't you? You've known her good while, and you are rich enough to support her and you always say age doesn't make any difference. Why don't you tell her that you love her? Faint heart-you know
 T believe I will, Bet, this very night, if none of those fools is hanging around. Say, Betty" in sudden panic, "how do you propose to girl"
 She laughed. 'I can make your candy and do your shopping and arrange your meetings, but 1 can't do your propos- ing. Everyone seems to have his own way" demurely.
 "How do you knowf"
 .Oh, know"
 s'Why, how many proposals have you had to talk so?" in the tone of pat roniZing big brother.
 "Well-there's one, two, three," counting on her fingers, -four, five this summer. Not so bad !''
 Betty! I didn't dream you were

such a fiirt When has this been go ing on? This doesn't sound ike y0u. My old chum You" anxious haven't accepted any of them, have you?"
 I'm not saying"
 "But-why, Betty, what would do if you got married?"
 Would it make any difference? I could still help you. Eleanor could come"
 Darn Eleanor! It's you I'm worry ing about, Betty. don't want you to get married" their eyes met and held-"to anybody but me-" he fin ished. Its you I love, Betty-no one else. I've just found it out, but it's true. Look here, dear, you aren't really engaged, are you?
 Not precisely" she laughed. Then added: "Eleanor is going to marry Craig after Christmas, but don't tell it's d secret"
