Splendid Entertainers

bury Academy held their reception

ing.

dance cards were handed out by
Miss Dorothy Woods and Master
William Kicker. At intermission
ice cream was served.
Henault's orchestra furnished
the music for the grand march and
eighteen dances, all Of which were
much enjoyed.
Much credit for the success of
the pleasant affair may be given to
the committee who have had
charge of decorating the hall
since Wednesday night, and have
been working on the plans for the
entertainment a longer time. The
first public function of the Seniors

PRESS COMMENT
THE MEANEST MAN

There are some pretty mean
men in the world and it is a ques-
ton which one should "take the
cake" The Ludlow politician who
did not make a good box of chloe
olates to the telephone operators is
entitled to go on the roll Of honor
1t was on the night of primary
day and the lines were hot for
the returns. "Get me these con-
ncctions quick and I'll send over
fve-pound box Of chocolates in
the morning, was about the way
he felt. But in the morning he
forgot all about it-just like a
politician. They would promise to
deliver slice of green cheese
from the moon to gain q point
But empty promises to telephone
girls is pretty mean business

Fair Games (2l

There has been a great hue anC
cry of alleged gambling at the
fairs. The Banner has made an
incomplete observation and doesn't
believe there has been any gambl-
ing at any Of the fairs. sanctioned
by the fair authorities
OF course, there have been crap
games behind the horse sheds and
in hotel rooms but the so-callcd
gambling about which Hapg9od
and others have been wailing isn't
gambling at all.
We have at one time and anoth-
or tried to get doll or a hQr e
blanket by putting dimes on num-
bers and watching wheel go
around.
1t isn't gambling for gambling
implies that the gambler has some
sort Of possibility of getting some
thing for his money. In these
games at The fairs the spenders Of
the dimes hasn't a ghost of a
chance Of getting anything back
worth a tinker's dam.
The Banner is convinced that
there is not and has not been any
gambling at the fairs but it does
seem as though the fair manage
ment are not very keen.
Why should they divide with
out-of-town pirates the profit OBJ
tanned by furnishing nothing in eX-
change for real money.
Next year the various fair man
ayers should get together and put
out their own crew with plenty Of
plaster Of paris dolls and hot air
blankets and get all the profit of
furnishing these to the public in
exchange for real coin.
We are astonishcd at the lack of
business ability shown bv these al
legged Yankees who manage our
Vermont fairs.-Benington Banner.

Many TOpekans Suffering From
Nose and Throat Trouble.
Kansas in Effort to Check Diph-
liberia and Scarlet Fever. o

There is no such disease as the So
called summer flu" according to a
statement issued today by DIR. Earle
G. Brown, city health officer. Per-
sons are suffering from minor nose
and throat infections and hay fever,
disease, says Doctor Brown. A num-
Der of the cases develop into bron-
chitis. The infections in many cases
cannot be eliminated until frost ar
rives, says Doctor Brown.
No now cases of diphtheria were
reported today. One death from this
disease was reported this week. The
following cases of diseases have been
reported this week: Dfphtheria, 6;
typhoid, 2; whooping cough, IL, and
scarlet fever, 2.
Doctor Brown states that there is
a possibility of whooping cough and
mumps epidemics this winter. There
has been no whooping cough epidemic
mumps epidemic for three years. They
run in cycles and are almost due
Doctor Brown states that the present
number of whooping cough cases
should be no reason for alarm.
No Summer Flu in State.
DR.. F. G. Pedley,. of the state board
of health, said today that the board
had received no reports indicating an
outbreak of anything like the Sum
mer flu" Doctor Pedley said that the
health authorities were not expecting
any influenza trouble at the present
time. but that efforts were being made
to check diphtheria and scarlet fever,
two diseases which have been giving
trouble.
From statistics Kansas under nor
NAL conditions should not have had
more than sixty cases of diphtheria
during the month of July, but the re-
ports show that there were ninety
three cases. Doctor Pedley said. Also,
there were 140 scarlet fever cases
when under normal conditions there
should not have been more than thir-
ty-nine.
"Diphtheria cases should be kept
under strict quarantine now," Doctor
Pedley said ''It is just as important
that the quarantine regulations be OBJ
served now as after there has de-
veloped an epidemic, as the only way
to prevent an epidemic is to use the
proper precautions in the early
stages"

Neither Side Can Escape.
Neither the roads nor the. unions

The whole tenor of Mr.. Harding s

There can be no liberty and demo-

However" he concluded, the legal

no passion sways, when no prejudice

may be appraised, and the public well

itself"
Meanwhile, the president indicated,
the government is prepared to insure
maintenance of transportation what
ever comes.
