Ludlow's largest industrial enterprises,
employing over 300 men, and, that his
treatment of them was honest and
frank. Through his charity the Lud-
low post sof the American Legion had a
home, hesspeaker said, adding that prob
ably not dozen citizens in the town
knew that Mr.. Agan was responsible
for it.
''He has no entangling alliances with
politicians or political rings, has no
henchmefi and no paid men," Judge
Skeels declared. Everybody knows
where he stands. He has been pictured
as having eloven hoofs and horns, but
there is no more temperate man in our
town, not excepting the clergy"
MIR. Agan urged his hearers, in be-
ginning his address, to keep their minds
open until time to vote. Don't. allow
any politician or ward heeler to whisper
in your ear" he warned, .and in the next
sentence asserted that he pleaded with
no man 10 vote for him because ! live
in the county" He said it was hard
work to tip over an old prohibition mind
but declared that the best prohibition
was thei# liquor traffic under stringent
police regulation.
AT this point Mr. Again read a clip
ping giving the English translation of a
circular printed in Italian and said to
lave been circulated among the Italian
marble workers in Rutland, asking them
to vote for Fred II. Rabbit of Bellows
Falls as "the only man who has always
thought necessary an amendment to the
Volsteadg act" Mr. Agan said he was
very much surprised at the circular, as
he had at home letter from Mr. Glynn
of Saxtons River asking the voters to
support Dir. Babbitt as dry candidate
and the only man who could beat Agan

Mr.. AEah with some emphasis, "and

He referred to the other candidates for
governor as being fine men, but having
FANTASTIC ideas. He said he didn't believe
in chasing rainbows and asserted that

The speaker deplored SO much centfaI-
izatioh of schools and said the state
should pay more for teachers. The clos
ing of schools, he said, usually was fol-
lowed by the appearance of auction bills
announcing farms for sale. He welcomed
the announced change in the head of the
educational department of the state for
that reason.
He reviewed the old prohibitory law,
told of his work in the interest of the

and paid his respects to the Anti-Saloon
league.
Mr.. Agan said some congressman had
told him that they didn't expect the Vol
stead act would be enforced, and he
thought congress would change it so that
five per cent of alcohol would be permit
ted and beer and light wines would be
sold He said the law made moonshiners
of women who made wine out of black
berries and dapdelionss adding that 1T is
making crimihats Of 90 per. cent of MS in
one way or another"
The final subject discussed was that
of good roads. Mr.. Agany thought, the
asi GRAVEL roads seldorhl were fonhd In the
best of condition. Crushed stone could
be put on at not much more expense
than gravel the speaker said, il done
with improved machinery and trained
men, and it should be covered with a tar
binder and the roads then be patrolled.
Such roads would last 10 times as long
as gravel roads. He would have deep
bitches, patterned after the French
roads, to insure perfect drainage.
To raise money for paying the extra
cost of such roads Mr.. Agan would have
the tax on automobiles graduated accord
ing to the weight of the cars, as the
heavy cars tear up the roads more than
do the light ones. He thought car own
ers would be willing to pay taxes on
that basis because of the great pleasure
they would derive from travelling over
smooth highways
The address was punctuated frequently
with applause.

- Dog Show to Be Revived This
Year-Many Calls for Prize Lists.

Three weeks from. tomorrow will
witness the opening of the Valley fair
of 1g20-provided, of course, the
weather is of the sort to allow the first
days program to start on schedule. Al
though week later than usual this
year, due to shift in dates by other
fair associations, the, fair promises to
be no less attractive on that account.
In fact, the directors believe that sew
eral departments, notably that of ag-
ricultural products, will benefit dis
tinctly by the change. =
In view Of the wonderful success of
last years racing the association has
made special efforts to provide attrac-
tive offerings for the reinsmen this year.
There are eight events on the two day
card. those on Tuesday, Oct. 5, being
d free for all for $500, 2.16 pace and
2.1s trot for $500 and $50 trot and
pace for $3OOS~a and on "Wednesday a
Eli pace and PIG trot for $500, 2.20
pace for $500 and 2.24 trot and pace
for 5000. This is ais large an amount
of race money as any fair in New Eng
Iand haHSOUeTeu IOT tWO-udy piOSic il
and it Is believed it will produce ex-
eellent racing.
A feature of the fair which is arous
ing considerable local interest is the
dog show, which is to be in charge of
James p Ferriter assisted by Charles
f. Mann. There's was q time not so
many years ago when this was one of
the most attractive departments of the
fair and the management hopes to
bring it, back again. This year the
show win be run along modest lines in
the hope that it will arouse sufficient
interest among dog fanciers to war

with liberal classification in 1921. The

VILLAGE BUYS WATER SYSTEM
Palmer to Take Possession FIRST of
January-To Be Extended.


PALMER, Mass, Sept 13.-There
is some misunderstanding as to the
status of the water system in the viii
lage of Palmer. The district has voted
to buy it, and a binding agreement has
been made. By its terms the system
does not become the property of the
district until Jan. l. Until that time
the Palmer Water company will con-
tinue to own the property and the
water commissioners have no author
ity over it. Under the agreement the
water company is to build the extern
sion in North Main street and is to
be reimbursed by the district 1t was
agreed, however, that this work should
be done to meet the requirements of
the water commissioners, and in that
operation they have authority.
