Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Not doubling that you have a lively
regard for the interests of the Addison
County Agricultural Society, and a
special desire for the success Of tn :
coming fair, we still beg leave to pre-
sent this reminder that such success
must come mainly on the individual ex-
ertions of its friends. Especially bear
in mind that financial success depends
almost wholly on the sale of members
tickets the society gets all this and but
one-fourth of the gate fees. We trust
that all the friends of this society, and
the town managers especially, will this
wear interest themselves more than
ever in procuring members, and for
this purpose be industrious on election
day. A few words ought to convince
any one that it is better economy for
him to be a member than to depend on
gate tickets.
Our permanent success depends on
the success of our exhibition from year
to year. Our ability to make these OF
the first order is well known. May we
not depend on your energetic co opera
ton in making every department of the
exhibition a success this year.
Town managers are particularly re-
quested to notify all members of COM
mittees from their respective towns
that they are expected to report at the
secretary's Office in the morning of the
second day.
The board cannot but express their
gratitude to the ladies of the county
for their assiduity in former years If
furnishing the halls. We trust that they
will not this year fall short of theil
best efforts hitherto, remembering thai
they are looked upon as responsible fol
this part of the exhibition.

SEVERE STORM ON BORDER.

To the Editor of the Register:
The Vermont people, and not least
the friends from Middlebury and
vicinity, have certainly been very
thoughtful and generous in supplying
reading matter for their soldiers on
the border. doubt if any recreation
building on the Mexican line is better
supplied with papers and magazines
than our Y. M. C. A. With our present
supply almost any man of any tastes
and interests can find something to his
liking. We have large number of the
popular magazines, like the Cosmopoli-
tan and the Saturday Evening Post,
plenty of reading for men of mechan-
ical turn in the Scientific Amer
lean and Popular Science Monthly,
articles on business in the World S
Work, humor in Life, and much other
literature of all sorts and classes.

POOLING COMPANIONS.
Rutland News.

Stimulating drowning when in bath
ing is as foolish as looking down the
barrel: of a loaded shotgun. 1t is a
dangerous kind of joking. No matter
if the joker is an expert swimmer; he
might be seized with disabling cramps or
heart failure or something else serious
and, if he had been feigning drowning,
his companions would pay no attention
when his cries of real distress came.
Had the St. Adams young man who
was drowned Sunday afternoon not
been "fooling" his companions in just
the way described he would have been
alive today.

ONIONS.

ONlOANos
You are so brave, so fresh, so strong,
You typify ones youth;
These words most aptly fit my song,
And also fit the truth.
You have beauty striking fair,
When growing in straight rows;
There CLEANS a military air
preparedness" who knows?
Your tops point upward to the skies
With whisperings of praise;
And promise give Of useful lives,
In chill autdmnal days.
Anti-scorbutic is the name
Of one great virtue in you;
But you enjoy another fame,
When fairest maidens skin you
The cabbage has goodly head,
But merits little praise;
In truth it might as well be dead,
AS court pOetlc lays
But onions, onions have charm
Their own, not elsewhere found;
There's nothing like them on the farm
Nor anywhere around.
Hoary with age beside the Nile,
They fed the Hebrew race,
Adorned our tables all this while,
And sit there still with grace.
Oh, bulbs you have the germ of health
Alike for young and old,
And truly pave the way to wealth,
In better coin than gold.

with Detroit and won out.
A contract was signed on Friday
last covering the erection of plant
which has been designed by an
eminent firm of engineers and eff

Roberts and Wales. 1t will be the
most modern of any that has been
completed in recent years in the motor
car industry and will include the most
up to date equipment for efficient
ard economical production.
The business men in Cleveland have
received the Jordan company with
enthusiasm and some of the most
prominent fnanciers and manufactur-

in the company and its plans. George

Edward S. Jordan, who returned to
Kenosha Saturday to make arrange

and said that the most pleasant feat
