PRIZE PUMPKIN TO BE THERE.
Agricultural Features of Valley Fair Not
to Be Neglected.

Lament over the passing of the old
fashioned agricultural fair with its prize
pumpkins and other orthodox features
Is frequently heard nowadays, and it is
a fact that the clamor for entertainment
of an exciting nature has done much to
change fair programs. This year in
particular the tendency has seemed to
be away from the things on which fairs
once based their bids for popularity. Ex-
hibits Of prize horses and cattle have Civ
en- place to more spectacular features,
With a view OF offsetting this ten.
dency the management of the Valley
fair, which takes place at BrattIeboro
Sept 30, and Oct l, has made special
effort to maintain the standard of its
regular exhibits Recognizing the de.
mand for entertainment, it has provided
more of it than ever before band con.
certs, vaudeville, airplane stunts and
speciality races-but at the same time il
promises plenty of the regulation features
which have been missed at some of the
earlier fairs this season. Prize pump
kins in abundance will be found at the
Valley fair, together with cattle, sheep
swine, poultry and the many other
things for which the show has so long
been noteds

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Received $4,000 Volts of Electricity and
Still Lives.

Rutland, Sept. 1l.-Lieut. Col. ND. H.
Maury, a consulting engineer of Wash
ington, d. c., received an alternating
current of $4,000 volts of electricity at
the Cavendish plant of the Colonial Pow
err & Light Co, on Tuesday and, mirac-
ulously enough escaped death. He got
his head too close to the potential trans
former, forming an arc.
A large hole was burned in his head,
the bow of the spectacles over his ears
was melted, several holes in his legs,
heels and feet were made by the current.
He was instantaneously rendered mcon-
conscious.

first aid and restored Colonel Maury to

men undoubtedly saved the engineers

TO HELP FARMERS.
Community Stone Crushers Purchased in
Indiana to Make Limestone Avail
able on Acid Soil.

Community stone erushers which will
enable farmers tp obtain limestone for
soil treatment at minimum cost are
one of the latest developments in farm
ing and are an innovation which will be
highly valuable in stimulating crop pro-
duction, officials of the department Of
conservation say.
A study has been made Of the subject
of the effect Of calcium compounds upon
the soils Of Indiana. It has been ascer-
tanned that there is much acid soil in the
state that needs treatment with lime
stone to neutralize the acidity of the
earth. Practically all soils in Indiana
west and south of line passing diago-
nally across the state from the south
eastern boundary of Newton county
southeastward to the southern boundary
of Randolph county are decidedly acid.
There is also a small area in the north
western part of the state, including most
of Porter, Laporte, Stark, Pulaski and
