WOODSTOCK FAIR

Z prominently since the passing of so
many 81 the sinai er country agri.
cultural exhibitions. will be held this
year. Tuesday fentry day. Wednes-
day and Thursday, September 10, II.
and IL.
Woodstock Fairs success has been
due to the fact that the management
has conseryatively remained loyal TO
the purpose for which the fair Is in
tended-a means for the farmers and
their families to display in friendly
competition for prizes the products
of the farm, including the cullinery
and domestic science department Of
the farm home.
Each year the peop.e of eastern
Windham county are attracted by
these fine exhibits, the fruits and
flowers; the vegetables and the ex-
cellent cookery; the preserves. the
cakes, the pies and the homely bat
delicious doughnuts; also the art nee
dies work done during the long winter
evenings. Outside, arranged in the
pens. one may see the cattle, the
swine, the sheep and the poultry. OF
features for the younger folk but the
management has not allowed the
cheap and questionable shows and
games to swallow up the old time
fair and cattle show, which has
proved the downfall of other similar
organizations.
II seems hardly necessary TO make
kncwn anything but the dates TO as
sure large attendance at Woodstock
Fair. One, however, always has in
mind the Old Home Day aspect and
atmosphere of the entertainment.
Annually, through this medium, folks
meet folks and renew acquaintance.
City people, people from the villages,
towns and burroughs, and those from
the remote sections. all touch elbows.
and all mingle in wholesome inter-
course and entertainment at least
once year and that Is during the
days that the Woodstock Agricul-
tural Society holds its annual Wood

to the League of Nations arbi-
tration com mi ission was
learned last night from per-
sons close to Sir James Eric

1t was further learned that the

His Holiness will look with favor

certain in authoritative circles.
The Vatican City's entry into the

articles of the covenant which call
upon all League members 10 take

Whenever the possibility of the
Holy See accepting membership in
the League has been discussed, it has
been pointed out that such provisions
make the membership of the

will find his proper sphere and that
he will consent to naming a repre-
