J. H. Brooks, treasurer of the

that he looked for a large num-
Der of checks today as the people
have only had time to learn OF

While many people appreciate
the good work OF the Red Cross
few have any idea Of the amount
and character of work which IS
going on all around US every
day.
Caledonia County chapter Of the
American Red Gross is eXcellently
organized and works efficiently
every day in the year
The work of the Chapter is most
admirably supervised by Miss

FAIR GROUND
FIRE LOSS
$4,000
Stables New, But Other
Buildings Built Years
Ago

The buildings at the fair ground
that were destroyed by fire Mon
day afternoon were insured IN the
Vermont Mutual for $4,000. OF
this amount, $700 was on the
grand stand and $500 on the new
horse sheds, containing SO stalls.
These stalls were built only few
years ago and were completely
equipped. The grand stand was
first built when the fair was frs
located there back in 1857, al
though it has been several times
added to and repaired since that
time. There was no insurance on
the vaudeville stage or the judges
stand and band stand.
The loss was at least $4,000
if the cost of replacinp the bull
ings destroyed is to be taken into
consideration.
The fair that closed last Friday
was a most successful one, but
no one intended to celebrate the
event of the golden jubilee with
fire works. However, new
grandstand was often considered
and greatly needed and this wlli
make action in this direction nee
essary.
Caledonia fair has had a re-
markable record in the rs years Of
its history and should be continu-
ed by a bigger and better park
show in the future.
The History of St. Johnsbury
by Rev. DR.. Fairbanks has many
interesting references to Caledonia
fair In describing one of the
first meetings of the Caledonia
cattle fair DR.. Fairbanks says:
1t was held in 1888 on st Johns
bury Plain; $50 wheeled vehicles
rolled in; troops of horsemen gal
loped along the roads; and many
tl'udged their way on foot; :. up4
wards Of 1900 in all. The blowing
match was on a field where the
Methodist church now is; the
trotting course was the street
| now called Main street Every
wagon became lunch counter for
the family and the Wilcox tavern
had sumptuous fare. After din
ner Henry Stevens of Barnet
gave an address in the meeting
house and this was followed by
music on the organ played by
John H. Paddock, and u farmers
song of Is stanzas was sung by
MI. Wood"

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
TO INVESTIGATE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21-In-
formation in the hands of the De-
paftment Of Justice as to the &C
tivities of the Ku Klux klan was
laid before President Harding to-
day by Attorney General Daugh-
erty after the latter had conferred
with Director Burns of the De-
partment Bureau of Investiga-
ton, who has been conducting an
inquiry upon which to base a re-
port. Any federal action against
the organization, according to Mr.
Daugherty would probably be un-
der some statute coverIno conspir-
acy. He made clear, however, that
on its face the literature Of the
clan was not in violation of the
law and what was to be determin-
ed WAS what went on behind the
scenes. An investigation Of the
Ku klux klan is also proposed by
Representative Tague, Democrat
Massachusetts,, in resolution
which he has prepared and expects
to introduce today.
Department of Justice officials
declined to expires an opinion as to
the possibility of federal investiga-
ton Of the Ku klux Klan but it
was indicated that the department
would take steps to gather further
details of the situation. So far it
was aid the departments informa-
ton consisted of isolated ccom-
plants which had come in from
different sources including private
individuals and organizations.

Three hundred members of the Ku

was done other than to display
banners and send warning note
to law violators through the col
umns of a Shawnee newspaper.

After considerable argument, both
Arthur Emery and his wife were
forcibly removed from the ma

was subjected to a severe cross
examination by the defending at
to1neys, Frank D. Thompson Of

and f. A. Cook of Orleans. Mr..
Emery was unable to remember
with any degree of accuracy the
dates surrounding the alleged in

Sheriff Jennings.
Mrs. Emery went to the witness

and uphold the honor of the elias :.
Thermometers arranged in the
front of the Assembly Hall mount
ed by leaps and bounds. First the
Sophomores led, then the Seniors
forged ahead until they reached
the 100 per cent mark, but indeed
the membership blanks came in
signed with such rapidity that it
was difficult to keep tally. The
final count from the results Of

lowing percentage of member
ships in the association.
Senior 100 per cent
Juniors 85 5-12 per cent
Sophomores 96 per cent

ENGLAND'S SHARP NOTE TO
RUSSIA HOLDS INTEREST

LONDON, sept. zI-Hrea9
Britains sharp note to the Rus
sian soviet government relative to
hostile activities of Bolshevlk
agents in the near East and in
India today claimed precedence in
interest hert over the Irish situa-
ton. The protest sent to Chitcher-
in, Soviet foreign minister, by Earl
Curzon secretary for foreign af-
fairs, made public yesterday,
seemed to foreshadow important
developments.
Soviet Russia was accused of
having carried on propaganda in
Persia and AfghanistaA, with
sending agents into eastern At
ghanistan to get in touch with
disorderly elements in India and
with preventing a settlement OF
pending disputes between the Turk
ish nationalist, and the allied
