was the opinion of County Agent A.
W. Swecton. He thought the people
cared more for seeing a good agricul-
tural exhibit and said that the value of
q fair lies in developing interest To-
cally as is demonstrated by the Will
mington fair, where no prizes are of
fered. He thought a feature of inter
est and value could be made of boys
and girls work. He thought also that
passes ought to be eliminated and men
toned one instance where the Connec-
ticut fair went to the wall because of
the large number of passes issued. This
brought from Mr.. Benson the statement
that very few passes were issued for the
Valley fair.
B. A. Whittemorc stated that when
the fair started premiums were paid on
grade cattle which thought in many
cattle exhibits from local farms. This
was cut out and the premiums paid
only to thoroughbred stock which has
resulted in fancy herds making cir
cult of the fairs 80 that person sees
the same animals at every fair. He
thought it would be n benefit to the
fair to put grade cattle back on the
list
A word in favor of vaudeville was
spoken by w. L. Walker, who said that
entertainment was needed to 90 with
the exhibits.
Henry Shipman said this was not
just the time to recommend cXpcndi-
lures, but he thought a subway east
- the main gate would greatly relieve
congestion at that point. G. l.. Stickncy
was of the opinion that vaudeville
helped to fill the grandstand which has
been enlarged several times and il
filled every year.
At this time Dcnnson Cowles report
ed for the nominating committee and
the report was adopted electing these
officers Pres, Oscar +. Benson; vice
pres, W. +. Robertson of Hinsdale,
\. H., and W. S. Pratt Of Brattleboro;
treas Fred G. Adams; supt +. c. Ten.
ncy; assistant supt., w. A. SUBWAY;
directors, Arthur b. Clapp, c. l.. Stick
ncY, Glenham Jones and Horton ID.
Walker, the president being a member
eX oiticio.
1t was voted to have an assistant
secretary, and the secretary and assist
ant will be appointed by the directors.
On motion of Charles A. Boyden see
onded by +. ID. +. Stowe it was voted
unanimously to hold the fair two DAYS
instead of three the dates toAbc fixed
by the officers. 1t is probable that the
Valley fair will follow the Rutland fair
and come ahead of the state fair

A suggestion by +. A. Larrow that q
charge of so cents each be made for
parking ears brought out the informa-
ton from Mr.. Benson that to take pay
for parking ears would mean that the
association would have to police them
and be responsible for any damage and
would require that all persons except
car owners be kept out of the park
ing place. The association, Mr.. Ben
son said, has no place for parking ears
under those conditions, as to give up
the track enclosure would be great
inconvenience to large proportion of
the patrons of the fair.
NJ. j. Moran thought that the vaudc.
vile was a good drawing card. lie
thought that inasmuch as persons were
not coming from distance in as large
numbers as formerly a strong effort
should be made to cater to the local
people and he thought a reduction in
many of the premiums could be made.
! That the vaudeville does not appeal
to people from the surrounding towns
as much as has been believed by many

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is It?

Thousands? yes hundreds Of thousands
Of people throughout America are taking
the slow death treatment daily
They are numbering their own stom-
ach, the best friend they have, and IN
their sublime ignorance they think they
are putting aside the laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement il is
startling fact. the truth Of which any
honorable physician will not deny
These thousands of people are swallow
ing daily huge quantities of pepsin and
other strong digestcis. made especially
to digest the food in the stomach with
cut any aid at all from the digestive
membrane of the stomach
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they do
more. Taken regularly for few weeks
they build up the run down stomach and
make 1t strong enough to digest its own
food Then indigestion, belching, sour
stomach and headache will so.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by Wllfred f.
Root, who guarantees them.

WARRANT FOR TOWN MEETING
Few Extra Appropriations Wanted
Financial Statement.

The warrant for the annual town
meeting. which will be held March ~

the regular routine business. However
extra appropriations are asked for

ument, az l. G. Smiths and Octave
Donzey' s on the Plain road Two cleo.
trio lights are asked for, to be located
between the Raleigh and the Higgins
places on the River road.
There isn't any indication of con
tests for town officers this year, and
in no recent year has there apparently
been any less excitement over the an
nual meeting.
The check list of voters has also been
posted and no less than 43 names have
been removed either by death or re-
moval from town while to date only two
new names have been added.
The financial standing of the town,
