lies in the fact that Argentine is I'M

a similar position. But even if a large

STATE FAIR WILL TAKE PLACE.
Secretary Davis Denies Rumor that is
Being Circulated.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Sept
7.-Rumors have been started to the
effect that the Vermont state fair will
not be held this year on its scheduled
dates, Sept. II, 10, IA and Is, because
of the recent ruling by the state board
of health that children under ID years
of age can not attend fairs.
Secretary Fred L. Davis of the state
fair commission stated yesterday that
there was absolutely no truth in the
report that had been circulated in sever
al sections of Vermont and said posi-
lively that the fair would be held on
the regular schedule dates. He also
stated that not one entry in any de-
partment had been cancelled and that
the fair would be the biggest in the
way of exhibits ever held in its his
tory.
Everything is practically ready for
the opening day. The few details re-
naming to make the fair complete will
be finished before the opening day,

The Chicago Tribune quotes from the
Legislative Labor News, the organ of
the New York Federation of Labor,
published when Mr.. Hughes left Al
bany for the supreme court, as follows:
CHOW that governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to a
place on the highest judicial tribunal
in the world, the fact can be acknow-
lodged without hurting anybody's po-
Etical corns that he was the greatest
friend of labor laws that ever occupied
the governor IS chair at Albany. Dur
ing his two terms he has signed fifty
six labor laws, including among them
the best laws ever enacted in this or
any other state. Only 1872 labor laws
have been enacted in this state since
its erection in 1777-139 years. One
third of these have been enacted and
signed during Governor Hughes s term
of three years and nine months.''

MIR. Garretson's Tears.
New York Mail. J


Griefs we have of many kinds, but
the grief of Mr.. Garretson surpasses ALL
Weeping in the Senate office build
ing as he denied the appeal of President
Wilson and the representatives of Con-
gress to call off the strike, he is a spec
tacle to move the heart of anyone.
How could he agree to undo the work
of his lifetime? Had he not helped to
create force of 100000 railroad work
ers, to which he had given the power
of German army corps, against an I'M
organized, unarmed, helpless crowd?
Should he, at such time, give con-
sideration to such facts as these:
The railroad forces which he repre-
SCENTS average 81 500 year in pay.
The average pay of the worker in
America is $500 a year.
The agriculturist works from day
light to dark for 5000 year.
Why should Mr.. Garretson think of
the woes of the people, the added bur-
dens he would place on the backs of the
multitudes?
1t is none of his concern. He thinks
and has to think only of the railroad
unionist. Let the rest of the people go
hang.
But Mr.. Garretson, no matter what
anybody says, has tender heart.
Think of the tears he shed!

ROBIN REDBREAST's BRIDE.

"Robin Redbreast," said Daddy,
"was walking up the Hill. 1t was not
very high to be sure, but Robin Red
breast thought it was very fine one
and that 1T was an extremely dignified
and stylish thing to lead Lady up
the HILL"
"Was he leading a Lady up the
HIP" asked the children.
"Yes, that's just it," continued
Daddy. "Robin Redbreast was very
much taken with Miss Plump Robin,
and he wanted her to become his
wife.
''Miss Plump Robin had been given
that name by her mother when she
was little Baby Robin, and not yet
able to fly. She was the plumpest
and best hooking Robin in Mrs. Rob-
ms brood, and her mother couldn't
help but call her Plump or 'Plumpie,'
for short.
"'Plumpie,' said Robin Redbreast,
will you take walk with me and
have an afternoon Worm with me in
my parlor?'
"You see Robin Redbreast was a
very fashionable Robin and he always
had an afternoon Worm just as some
Folks have Afternoon Tea. He thought,
and he had planned to allow Mrs.
Robin Redbreast to give many a big
Party and he would go a-hunting for
all the Worms to feed her guests.
"'Chirp,' trilled Plumpie, which
meant she would love to take the
walk with Robin Redbreast, so they
had started off up the Hill as l have
already told you.
''This Hill was a part of an old
fashioned Garden where there were q
great many Apple Trees. And in an
Apple Tree at the top Of the hill was
Robin Redbreast's Nest and his Par
1or.
"'What a fine Hill leads up to your
Parlor?' said Plumpie. Then she got
very nervous for she was so much
afraid that Robin Redbreast might
think she was limiting that she would
like to live in the same Home. OF
course, she did want to--but she want
ed Robin Redbreast to ask her first.
"Robin Redbreast didn't notice that
Plumpie was nervous. He was just
very proud and happy that she liked
the Hill and he was hoping she would
think his Parlor a fine one.
"'Here we are said Robin Red
breast, as they reached the top of
the hill.
"'Where is your parlorY asked
Plumpie.
"'Here in the Apple Tree. Hop
right up.' For the Birds always say.

Vermont Approves.
(St. Adams Messenger. J

Vermont recognizes courage and
recognition of obligation to duty. That
is why Congressman Frank L. Greene
is being congratulated by the press of
the state for having stood up ON the
floor of the house, with the eyes of the
brotherhood and other labor leaders up
on him, and denounced the hold-up of
congress on the railroad strike issue.
Mr.. Greene was in helpless minority
and knew it, but that did not deter
him from expressing his opinion of the
whole transaction. 1t is to his credit
that he fearlessly stood against this
tidal wave of panic legislation, and it
is to the credit of the others in the
Vermont delegation that they expressed
their disapproval by voting against the
increase of wages BILL

THE SLEEPING PORCH
. Howard LRdnn


The sleeping porch is something
which is added to a house in order to
provide more room for fresh air and
feet. Every night during the heated
term thousands of new, expensive sleep
ing porches are crowded with feet
which protrude carelessly from the
coverlets, instead of having to be run
out of hall bedroom window in the
effort to cool off. All over the middle
west, at this time of the year, myriad
numbers of faithful feet wearing patent
corn pads are led into sleeping porches
by their owners and put where the
mild evening zephyr and the stray
lightning bug can roam over their sur
face.
Nine times out of ten the sleeping
porch is an afterthought 1t is one of
the most high prieed thoughts a man
can have, if he is going to keep up
with some neighbor who started his
sleeping porch Immediately after the
eistern was dug. 1t costs more to tie a
II by 8 sleeping porch to the second
story of an old house than it does to
build a bungalow from the ground up,
including hot air furnace and open
work plumbing This is because the
work is never started until hot night
comes along and parboils the entire
family to d delicate pink hue

There are many men in every com
munlty who do not make much noise
but who are faithful, sober, honest, and
hard workers. They do not necessarily
have to excel in diplomacy, statesman
ship, literature, business, law, philoso-
ply or theology. to be called great
however modest man may be, if he
IS efficient at a trade and has been
quietly loyal to his employer for many
years and has not defied the laws of the
land and been fair and square with his
fellow workmen, he has accomplished
something worth while and NAV even
be called great. He has merited the ap.
probation of his fellows, and that is
sufficient.

Most people never use the sleeping
porch except when it is necessary to
save human life. 1t is sad to see men
put hundreds of hard-earned dollars in
to capacious, hard pine sleeping porch
and allow it to stand idle and collect
dust and autumn leaves. 1t is equally
sad to see a large family troop into one
of these porous porches on the first hot
evening and discover that the beds
have not been made up since the 3lst
Of the preceding August. This causes
much discomfort on the part of hus
bands who were led to expect different
treatment prior to the wedding morn.
Some enthusiasts use the sleeping
porch the year around, retiring in the
dead of winter with a soapstone, set
of earlaps, a fur boa and four pairs of
thick wooden underwear. This gives
them plenty of fresh air and also en-
eourages the growth of the unobtrusive
chilblain. After . while they get SO as
customed to it that they can remove
Que layer of underwear and substitute
a hot-water bag, located in the small
of the back. Those who think that ali
of the heroes and heroines are in the
European war should try. this next
winter for one week, and jot down their
impressions after coming out of the
hospital.

DAWSON, Yukon, Sept. 7.-Official

now allowed in the territory. The
mining districts almost without excep-
