State Pins.

One of the latest novelties is a state
pin which can be worn as scarf or as
a lapel pin or as charm for fob or
other watch chain. The idea is that
every man is proud Of the state he
was born in or that of his adoption
and that he would like to show his
loyalty by wearing a state pin. Each
of these pins is in outline a map of
some state whose name is stamped
upon it. and the pin shows also by
raised lines the rivers and by dots the
capital and the principal cities. These
state pins are sold at from 10 cents
upward. You can buy one of these
pins with diamond set in that part
of it where the capital is located if you
want.

DECLINES TO ACT
City Clerk Rudgren Decides Not
to Keep Local Option Off
Ballot
ON STRENGTH OF PROTEST
Holds 1t Not Within His Province to
Rule in the Matter-The Next
Move.

This morning City Clerk Martin T
Rudgren declined to decide on the
merits of the protest filed to prevent
the prohibition question from going
on the ballot at he spring. election.
Mr.. Rudgren, in taking this position,
in effect decides for the signers of
the petition to submit the matter to
a vote, for by allowing the case to re-
main in status quo, he indicated that
unless otherwise ordered. he will place
the question on the ballot under the
authority of the law and the petition
presented to him.
Mr.. Rudgren's decision was given
after consultation with the city at
torney, J. F. Witter.
What Move Next.
The protest to the city clerk has
all along been regarded as merely pre-
liminary to a contest in the circuit
court, and the clerks decision. no mat
ter which way it might be, not tbs
settlement of the matter. Had the
clerk held with the petition and de
cided to investigate the petition and
the validity of the signatures. the pro
Eibition movement would have nc
doubt begun mandamus proceedings
TO compel him to place the petition
on the ballot, and as the matter now
stands. it is up to the AUTHORIZATION
league to make the next move either
by writ of prohibition or injunction
but whether it will act further re
mains to be seen.
No Authority to Act.
The city attorney holds that the
oaths of the persons who circulated
the petitions, certifying that all of ths
signatures are good and according tC
the requirements, is sufficient evi
dence for the clerk to act upon, and
that any other investigation of the
petition Uust be made by some other
authority.

Safe and swift.

one question he was sure to ask,
and their answer was always ready.
The other selectmen might pro-

of Bushby's fire brigade.
1t was the closing day of school,
and the children, having listened to
three addresses with drowsy pa
tience, were glad when Mr.. Lamson
rose to conclude the exercises.
"Now, children" he said cheer
fully, "you have listened most at
tentively to the words Of Mr.. Howe,

der what you would do if I made

was so unexpected that the children
answered before they had time to
catch themselves.
