ably by detouring from the main line
of travel, on either the down trip ol
the return trip, a detachment OF
cadets. officials and guests will visit
the cemetery at South STAFFORD "a
decorate the grave Of Curtis S. Bar
rctt, '63, donor Of the Barrett Fund.
The tablet to Captain Partridge is
to be Of bronze, located, il possible, on
the original parade, close to Main
street. No decision has been reached
as yet regarding the material for the
base, but hammered granite, a native
and a composite Of materials
from the ruins Of the Old South Bar
racks have been discussed.
The day will be of interest to the
survivors Of the Old Norwich, and it is
the aim Of the committee to make it
an inspiration to those of Northfield
days, to whom the "brave days Of
yore" have been rather vague tradi-
ton.

in the arrangements for Manchester
Fair this year. A new cattle barn has

HISTORICAL WEEK
IN MANCHESTER

Among the attractions Of the His.
torical Week will be an evening Of
tableaux TO be given by the Misses
Fisher. The tableax will in part be
founded on interesting episodes Of
local history. The Misses Fisher have
appeared in Manchester before with
distinguished success. During their
visit in Bennington county they will
be the guests of their sister-in-law,
Mrs. Dorothy Garfield Fisher.
The evening entertainments Of the
Historical Week will be opened by .
concert. Mr.. Joseph Calhoun, tenor,
will sing group of Scotch songs; and
Mrs. Geo. Orvis and Mr.. Franz Lorenx
will play a sonata for piano and
cello. Musicians Of this standing are
certain to present fine performance.
Owing to some uncertainty as TO the
exact dates upon which some Of the
artists will appear, it is impossible to
give full program Of the entertain
ments of the week. Some fine attrac-
tions are practically booked, but the
committee does not feel justified in
advertising events and dates until
definite arrangements are made.
Posters with full program will be
distributed later.

PRESS TRIP THUMB
NAIL STRETCHED

The newspaper men of Vermont anC
their families enjoyed an outing or
Lake Champlain Saturday, and it was
q day Of rare pleasures. The atmo'
spheric conditions were perfect, con
ducive to tranquility of spirit as vel
as provocative Of song. The Vernon,
Press Associations official impressario
Editor H. L. Hindley of the RUTLAND
Herald, was induced to take day of
from the task of running the govern.
ment Of Vermont, and he arranged fol
the presence Of a quintet of young
ladies who, to accompaniment Of gui'
tar, sang patriotic songs beautifully
with the tourists on the steiner Ver-
mont joining the members of the press
in hearty choruses. Song and story
were interspersed with a solo by
"Eph." Crane Of the Brattleboro Re-
former, who revived his spirit Of min
istrelsy with eclat.
Editor Fairfield Of the Rutland
News, thought the event would have
been complete if landing place for
aeroplanes could have been provided
on the boat, but he felt compensated
by the extent to which he was up in
the air on the next governorship. He
thinks we will need two governors in
one the next time to make up for lost
Tine. Publisher Langley of the. Barre
Times, is busy trying to select q
gubernatorial candidate to support,
and he had no end Of suggestions from
his fellow sufferers on this occasion.
Editor Johnson Of the Randolph Her
aid was too busy thinking out consti-
tutional mendments for the commits
sion, to bother over politics. Editor
Belknap of the Bellows Fall Times,
president of the association, does not
care so much who is governor provided
he can name the next lieutenant
governor, and Editor Charles Crane Of
the Middlebury Register, secretary
and treasurer of the association,
thinks it might be well to consolidate
more State offices. Editor Tobin of
the Swanton Courier would rather talk
fish and game than politics and so
voted, but Editor Bennett Of the Man
Journal and Editor Wheeler of
he Vergennes Enterprise, thought it
not right to disappoint those who are
keeping an ear to the ground"

MAINE is AWAKE WHILE
VERMONT Is SLEEPING

Maine hns joined the large number
Of States throughout the Union whicl
are preparing for the immediate con
struction of stronger and better roads
That famous State, hitherto wei
known for the excellence Of its pota.
toes and the delectable favor Of its
Holsters, is now planning a big good
roads campaign to provide, in an ade.
quate manner, for the future progress
Of motor transportation, which, within
a short period, will undoubtedly be one
of the great industrial developments
of the country.
The authorities are now anxious to
avail themselves of the full amount Of
Federal aid funds to which the State
is entitled for road work, but its ap-
preparation is exhausted. BY July l.,
1920, Maine will be entitled to about
s2,400, 900 Of Government money, but
to get it the State must provide an
equal sum for road construction. Less
than 100000 can now be applied for,
and to meet the emergency the Legis-
lature authorized last season new
bond issue, and on the second Monday
in September the voters will decide
whether good roads are vital factor
in the State. Many Of the Western
states have already voted favorably for
large bond issues for new road work,
and the advocates Of improved high
ways in Maine are confident that the
Pine Tree State will not be found
lacking in interest.
1t is the intention Of the State High
way Commission, provided the bond
issue is adopted, TO Immediately re-
quest the Secretary Of Agriculture to
approve the entire State highway sys-
tenn as Federal aid road, and the COM
mission has had unofficial assurance
that this will be done. In this case,
Federal aid will be used in the recon-
struction of all State highways, and it
is estimated by the commission that
four or five years at the outside will
see every mile Of State highway as
now laid out completed.
The bond issue will make possible
the acceptance Of further Federal aid,
which undoubtedly will be granted by
the Government, as bills are in Con-
gress for further Federal aid appro-
priations to supplement those already
provided, which will expire in 1921.
The highway commission has laid
out system Of State highways con-
sisting Of between 1850 and 1,40Ol
miles of road, or 5h per cent Of the
entire road mileage in the state. This
system passes through 23S cities and
towns, wherein are found, according to
the last census, 73 per cent of the pop
llation of the State, and according to
The State assessors report, 73 per cent
)f the valuation Of the State. 1t ap-
pears to the highway commission that
his is the most important 51a per
,ent of mileage in the State, because
where three-quarters of the population
Ire it is fair to assume that three
quarters of the traffic will be found.
The estimate takes no account Of tour
st traffic, which, generally speaking,
'ollows the system Of State highways.
