THE GREAT SHOW is ON

You don't have to 60 far to learu that
the great Lamoile Valley Fair is on in all
its glory, for by just poking your head
out of the window, you can hear and see
that wonderful bird that has been circling
over Morrisville since Monday and moth
ing short of the big Fair. would bring this
marvellous machine here. Did you see it
doing "stunts2" And have you been up
in it? If you haven't, you want to trot
tight over to the Fair Ground and get a
lift. It's the chance OF lifetime. But
we haven't time to tell you all the thrills
we got when we we're in the air. Perhaps
we can tell you more in next weeks paper.
Meantime, better try it for yourself
You'd be surprised at the number of
takers this year. We thought last year
was a record breaker but it can't hold

Floral Hall is doing its usual rushing
business. Bailey's music store has utilized
a good deal of space for victrolas and

this year is mending material for wood,
rubber, iron, tin, leather, crepe de chine |
and al other everyday stuff. There is |

cookery, the latter giving all onlookers
leen hunger pangs.
The Mcmahon Brothers of Stowe have
