Knittind in Church.

Knitting in church is suggested by
Rev. A. NJ. Mitchell, Church Of Eng
land clergyman, in his parish maya
zine. Better to knit for our soldiers
and sailors in sermon time" he says,
"than to talk and whisper, laugh and
giggle, flirt and misbehave, criticize
hats, gowns and fur coats. Those con-
stantly knitting learn to do so quite
mechanically and their attention Is not
diverted from speech. Knitting in SER
mon time would mean a great saving
of time"

Stockholders and Advisory Directors of
Valley Fair Association Hold Annual
Session, Re-elect Old Officers and
Have Dinner.

About GO attended this morning the
annual meeting of the stockholders and
advisory directors of the Valley Fair
association, held in the parlors of the
Brooks House, followed at | O'Clock
by the annual complimentary dinner.
Following some consideration of the
report Of the treasurer, Frederic G.
Adams, which showed that the indebt
cdncss Of the association had increased
$4,000 since the last fair in 1915, to
total Of $4,000, there was serious CON
sideration of the question of holding
fair with the country in the state it
is at present.
Before the meeting finally adjourned
it was voted unanimously to have a
fair, and the suggestion made by c. A.
Boyden that the fair be held this year
for two days instead of three as in
the past few years was left for the di-
rectors to decide
| The old board of directors was unani-
mouslv reelected, the secretary being
| instructed to cast one ballot for all
Of the officers.
| In opening the meeting President Os-
car F. Benson reviewed briefly the cir
cumstances which led up to the aban-
donment of the fair last year after
considerable preliminary expense had
been incurred
! The treasurer S report was not print
ed this year as no fair was held and
4 there were only few items to be con-
l~.. Il -.
there was a balance on hand of $52.03.
He read in detail from his books the
various receipts, such as race entries
and concessions, and then gave the de-
tailed payments which involved the re-
turn Of the greater part of such monies,
, insurance premiums which would have
been necessary regardless of whether
fair was held, a payment of $961.93
for advertising and printing, and con-
siderable sums for improvements and
repairs to buildings.
The debt consists of one note for
$4,000, and there is cash balance on
hand Of $99.44. No salaries were paid
to any Of the officers last year, what
work they did being done gratis.
! President Benson explained that gen
orally those with whom contracts had
! been made had been very consideratc
when the fair was abandoned One
vaudeville concern that had contract
for $3.50, settled for $l75. Il. l.
Hildreth & Co., reduced their bill fol
! printing - per cent.
i LYMAN T. Holden said that if the
new buildings erected last year were
! taken into. account the debt had not
! increased to the amount indicated il
: the report Of the treasurer. New horse
: barns, sheep pens and piggery were in
J cluded i'll money expended last year.
7 President Benson expressed the be
lief that the fair association wout
have been more in debt if the fair hat
been held than it is now.
