of stars within whose borders is found the brilliant Canopus, the second bright est star of the entire heavens, and very many other interesting objects. The faint stars filling the space above this group and below Hydra and Procyn, ex- tending all the way to Orion, make up the group of the Unicorn, while above this, one comes next to the head of the Water Snake, to Cancer, and to the Lynx. One who possesses a star atlas will find it of much interest to trace out these fainter groups. The Lynx, especially is most interesting little constellation which is remarkable for the large number of double stars con- tained within it. It has been suggested that the paws of the Great Bear, marked by the pairs at D, E and F, might well have been supplemented by the pair of stars at H. thus making the figure of Ursa Major complete.
 THE STARS OF MARCH
 The observer will notice that the southernmost of the two stars at E is of the pair at D are double the lower one, consisting of two great suns revolving about one another in a period of about 50 years, was the first of all the double star systems of which an orbit was computed. while the upper star of the pair at has a companion Of so dull luster that at one time this was suspected to be a planet, shining by the light reflected by it from the near by bright star.
 But perhaps the most interesting star group of all is the great Leo, the last of the great winter constellations, and which is now in excellent position for observation. The beginner in star study can easily recognize the west part of this beautiful group by the six stars extending from A to K. These form a part of the Lion, the right front paw extending to L and the tip of the tail being marked by the bluish star at B. Twenty centuries ago the constellation was even larger, for it included the beautiful filmy group of stars at M, which were afterward separated into a single asterism known as the Maidens Hair.
 From the earliest times the bright group Leo, has been associated with the sun; it is, in fact, while the sun is passing through the stars of this

Irish Love to Hunt

Dublin, February S.-Instructions by the central Sim Fein executive to stop hunting throughout Ireland pending the release of the Sim Fem prisoners have not been welcomed in the country where the local hunts give a certain amount of employment and help the circulation of money among the farmers and shopkeepers.

With proposed legislation granting
state pay to drafted as well as enlist
ed Vermonters and a very stable
war debt already created, with a bill
asking for S25O,OOO for a barge ter
minal on Lake Champlain, with the
proposal to build a road on Cancels
Hump, with numerous bills asking
for state aid by towns for various
purposes and the 1919 legislature still
young there appears to be some seri-
Gus work ahead for appropriation
committees and the legislature as a
whole Considering these things in
the face of the fact that both Ora
ham and Clement warn us that the
limit Of indirect taxation in Vermont
has been reached and every tax pay
er's knowledge that individual taxes
have been mounting skyward in the
past few years, there is reason for
grave concern over the willingness
and anxlOusness of local interests TO
get state money. This paper believes
there should be q very general policy
OF turning these appropriations down
notwithstanding the fact that two of
the early bills asking for town aid
come from Orleans county towns and
one OF our towns received liberal
state aid two years ago. The objects
Tor which they ask money are

worthy. The improvements desired
to be made are needed. The towns
in question are bearing heavy bur
dens and have this papers sympathy.
Nevertheless, it is believed the pres
ent condition of state finances, the
present burden of taxation and the de-
mand for money for purely state
wide needs, makes such requests at
this time inopportune. And the policy
itself is a doubtful one.

OUR FAIR.

The Valley Fair ASSOCIATION OF
BrattIeboro finds itself over $1,000
in debt and debates the advisability
of further fairs. The Caledonia coun-
" organization, which has held fairs
in St. Johnsbury for many years, IS
also in debt and is said to have aban-
doned the idea of further exhibits
Other Vermont fairs report annual
deficits which are indeed discourag-
ing. Even the great Brockton'
Mass. fair, held within easy reach OF
millions of people, loses money. A
liberal amount of government money
from year to year only makes the
Sherbrooke fair possible. and our own
state fair at White River Junction re-
ceives liberal state aid and barely
breaks even.
The problem of running a fnan-
cially successful fair has become a
difficult problem and Orleans county
is fortunate to have been able to sus-
tain creditable fair and pay its bills
without going into any siZable debt.
But the problem grows from year to
year Considering war problems and
epidemic handicaps in the past few
years our fair association has done
remarkably well to find itself intact
and ready to go forward with an ag-
gressive policy.
With Caledonia county holding no
fair and Orleans county possessing
the advantages of splendid exhibit
grounds, and being rich in agricul-
ture. the Orleans County Fair should
be able to make itself at least a self
sustaining organization, its annual
meetings of real worth to the farmer
and a pleasure to the populace at
large.
Those having matters in charge
should make careful analysis of the
ever-changing conditions and trend
of public opinion. What the public
demanded ten or Is years ago in a
fair, may not fit conditions today.
Perhaps a study of those basic things
which have made chautauquas popu-
lar and successful might give fan
managers valuable ideas. Conditions
change rapidly and with an awaken
ed interest in agriculture and the
wider radius from which people may
attend fairs because of the automo-
bile, there should be some way of
bringing the county fair back into its
own.
The public has a certain part and
duty in sustaining a fair. It should
be willing to pay reasonable price
for the entertainment and instruction
a fair gives its patrons, and exhibit
tors must remember that their exhib-
its are not primarily taken to a fair
because of the monetary return they
may receive for winning exhibits, but
largely for the purpose of compari-
son, the education and instruction of
the public and the promotion of
healthy and vigorous competition.
There must be large opportunity
for a country fair today-when the
right Interpretation of the public
mind is found.

THE HOLLY GROVE SCHOOL AT WORK
County Superintendent Visits
 This School.

Holly Grove school Monday at very opportune time. The Senior class rendered a most interesting program in com memoration of Gen. Robt. E. the marching, the songs, the well prepared papers and the. frictionless movement of every thing testified to the efficiency of the school. A most note- worthy feature of the program was the repetition of the Lords prayer in which every child united. Another interesting feature was the Americans creed. Every school is urged to learn this. The creed is as follows:
 'I believe in the United States of America as a gov ernment of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sov- ereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; establish ed upon these principles of freedom, equity, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
 'I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support it's constitution, to obey it's laws, to represent it's flag and to defend it against all enemies"
 After the program was rend- cred, the Supt. visited the va riOuS rooms and found the work going on nicely. The score card was not used, ow- ing to the fact that Holly Grove is in an incorporated town. The spelling test was given, and Holly Grove made the best showing made thus far. Her average is 73. The lowest grade made is 50, and the highest grade, made by Helen Brantley, is 95. The test was also given at Duncan and the average made is 72. A school up to the standard on spelling should make an aver age of 79 upon test given. No school has had this average yet. Teachers finding their pupils weak on spelling should stress this subject more.
 SUMMARY

 Monroe, Score 30, spelling average IS.
 
 Blackton, Score 70, Class c Spelling average 68.

 The school at Shiloh, known as Special No. 1, is not in ses- sion this winter on account of the dilapidated condition of the buildings. The directors of this school intended to build a new modern building this winter, but upon Investigating the matter they found, since the people neglected to vote bonds at the annual election in May, 1t would be necessary to secure the passage of a meas ure bby the legislature author ing the board to borrow money. As soon as our repre- sentative gets this measure one of the handsomest school buildings of the county will begin. The plan selected con- sists of four large rooms, science room, hall, girls room cloak rooms, and sanitary toilets. This plan also provides for proper lighting ventilation
