FIVE THOUSAND
SEE RACES AT
COUNTY FAIR
Two Races Unfinished on
Account of Heavy
Showers

The 73d annual Caledonia County
Fair is over and everybody is satisfi-
ed. The management worked hard
to give the people good show, the
weather man helped everybody but
the carnival promoters and the crowd
came in thousands from all parts of
Northeastern Vermont. The traffic
men handled the automobiles splen-
didly, there were no accidents of any
kind, and everybody enjoyed them
selves.
All the carefully prepared plans for
a big time at the night carnival
Thursday were upset by the rain and
the carnival was declared off.
The principal attraction Thursday
was the races and aside from the in
terruption by the rain during the
last hour of the day they were very
successful and unusually close. The
Grand Stand was fairly we'll filled
throughout the afternoon and the
crowd would have stayed for the fin
ish if the judges had not decided to
call the races off.
Belle Beach, the high school horse,
did some wonderful stunts in front of
the Grand Stand and would have
done more if there had been time.
This nine year old horse has been
exhibited at all the big fairs in the
country and ends the season at the
big Broekton fair.
The Ladies' Aid society and the
Grace Unity club of Grace Methodist
church cleared over 5000 in serving
their turkey dinners through the fair.
Their biggest day was Wednesday
when they served TBS dinners

The Famous Violinists Gives a
Choice Concert Thursd Y Evening

Under the auspices of the Search
light club of st. Johnsbury, Maud
Powell, the distinguished violinist,
appeared at the Colonial Thursday
evening, where she was greeted by a
very appreciative audience. 1t would
be like painting lily to dwell on the
artists ability as a violinist and It
was as choice a violin concert as has
ever been given in St. Johnsbury.
Madame Powell was very generous
with her encores-playing many old
favorites. Mr.. Axel Skjerne accom-
panied her and also gave several fine
solos. Each of the artists received
bouquet from admiring friends.

Sharply Replies to Wis
consin Representative.

United States District Attorney
Clyne, Of Chicago. bitterly denounced
Victor Berger yesterday before the
House committee investigs ting the
Milwaukee Socialists right 10 a seat
in Congress.
In al all-day argument against cie
seating Of Mr.. Berger, the district at
torney sssailed him as disloyal. sc-
cused him OF completely with the L
w. W.'s, and charged that Ae com,
mitted perjury in an sfidavit asking
a change OF venue in the trial OF his
case.
Mr.. Cyne was especially sharp in
his reply to Mr.. BergeTs CHARGES at
yesterdays session Of the committee
rejecting upon Federal Judge lands.
MI Berger declared Judge lands
was pretuoiced against him. that the
jury was hand-picked. and his triAl.
as result was grossly unfair.
i reached the conclusion said Mr..
Clyne, that Berger was guilty be-
yond all moral doubt. leaving no
ground debatsbie. and that he was in
sympathy with Germany and was do
ing everything he could 70 encompass

RETAIL TRADE IS
Unprecedented
High Prices Not Depriviing
Any Of Comforts, Says
Holland.

1t is a Cneer paradoxical situation
which is characteristic in this autumn
month OF business and industrial con-
ditionS throughout the United States.
Men who have had long experiences
in industrial and financial activities
confess that they have never seen any
thing which compares with this pres
ent-daY situation For instance re-
ports from all parts of the country.
which have, since September / reached
New York. tell Of an almost unpre-
Cedented retail trade. 1t is not con-
fined TO the large cities or to the
suburban districts. 1t is characteris-
tic of the small communities. even of
the remote agricultural sections. Fur
thermore, the prevailing demand is
not so much for commodities which
are comparatively cheap, but for those
which cost a good deal of money.
One OF the high authorities is quoted
as having said that a peculiar fea ture
Of this situation is the demonstration
that high prices are not deprving any
considerable portion OF the people OF
the comforts of life. The people nor-
withstanding their aggregate subscrip-
tions of some $50. 900, 900. coo to the
victory and liberty loans, nevertheless
seem to be in possession of money in
plenty. So it is said that the buying
power of the people has outrun the
rate OF production. This certainly Is
a condition that was not forecast i'm
mediately after the armistice was
signed.
Another peculiar feature observable
in these mid-September days refer to
the crop situation. There is no en-
Couragement in the reports which
come from the wheat belts but on the
other hand the chances seem to be
that the Indian corn harvest will be
somewhat in excess of 200, ,OOh, ,GJu
bushels. From several points of view
it is regarded as quite as important
that there should be a very large har-
vest Of Indian corn as a record max
ing harvest OF wheat. The kind OF
crops which are utilized for feeding
stock are presumably to be as large
as any that have ever been harvested.
For that reason the supply of meat
and of dairy products is to be larger
than was the case last year
