FAIR VAUDEVILLE
= ACTS ARE BOOKED
Strong List of Attractions to BE Seen
Sept 2.-2S-Putney Brattleboro
Road TO BE Open Fair Week.

ARRANGEMENTS have been completed
this week for what is believed to be an
exceptionally fine vaudeville program for
the Valley fair Sept. - and -. The
acts include the famous acrobatic troupe
known as the Eight Bluedeyils, BerZac
trained animal circus. Segal Il Irwin,
balancing and Juggling artists and the
aerial team known as the Flying Har-
veys. The BIuedevils will come here d.
rect from the Eastern States exposition
where they are to be headInerS next
week while the quality of Berzacs cir
Gus is demonstrated by the fact that ii
viii go from here to the big Brockton
fair.
Plans for the fair. now less than two
weeks away, are progressing rapidly anu
everything points to continuation OF
the success which it has been for the
mast several years. The opening of the
new Observation-Disclosures bridge ensures
the attendance of hundreds OF southern
New Hampshire people who otherwise
might not have felt like making the trip,
and the promise of officials of the Fail
kill Construction Co. to have the new
highway between Brattieboro and PuJney
omen for travel during the fair week
should add greatly to the attendance from
towns up the Connecticut river valley.
It is also possible now to drive over the
direct road between Brattleboro and Der
nartlston. even though repairs there are
not completed. so traffic routes are nearer
to normal than they have been at any
time this season.
Light as it was, the recent rainfall did
a great deal to improve the track. which
has been thoroughly resurfaced this year
at considerable expense, and with the
likelihood of more wet weather within
the next ten days there il every reason
for expecting the track ia be faster than
ever in it's history. The local racing
committee expects the entry Of "A uRus-
nal number of fast horses, and it is be

One of the most discussed ques-
tons in the formation of a dairy
herd is whether to begin with pure.
bred or grade cows. Opinions diff
fer widely as to which is the more
profitable. Pure-bred animals are
much sought for breeding purposes;
therefore, their offspring are more
valuable and command a higher price
than dc the offspring of grades.
Other things being equal, if the value
Of calves is considered, q pure-bred
herd is more profitable. On the 9th
er hand, if milk production alone is
sought, grade herd may produce as
largely as a pure-bred herd.
The enterprising and progressive
owner will not be content with grades
only. Since he must have pure bred
bull to build up his herd, he will want
a pure-bred cow to match, then one
! or two more. BY this practice Ing
will be working properly towards 8
