A NO-PAINT ROOFING.

Everybody recognizes nowadays tina
the so-called Ready Roofing proposition
has made good so far as giving thorough
protection Is concerned. There has always
been the objection, however, that these
materials were expensive in the long run
because they required coating with a
heavy paint about every two years. This
objection has now been met by the we'll
known Amatite' Roofing.
Amatite is provided with top surface
of crushed mineral. This surface needs
no painting nor indeed any care wha +
ever 1t is perfectly capable Of withstand
ing any kind OF weather. and will give
continuous satisfaction without repairs
for many years.
Doing away with the painting nuisanc'
removes the last obstacle to the wide use
of readying roofings, and great boon
in this kind Of business can be confident
ly predicted.
A sample of AInatite Roofing will he

AFTER THE SEPTEMBER VOTE
II In the barometer CT November Eiec.
tion and Thus This state Becomes
the Battle Gr"und-Prouty and
SOster Join In Interesting
Educational Rally.

st. Johnsbury Aug. 1S.--Music Hall
was well filled tonight at the first
republican rally of the campaign and
the speakers were continually ap-
plauded. The rally was the most edu-
cational one held for many years. In
introducing the speakers Edward r
Fairbanks. the candidate for the State
senate said this qusdrennial eferves-
cence was great awakening in pub
lie affairs and splendid education.
Candidate Prouty said he was graf
fled at the large audience and found
deep interest all over Vermont. He
then discussed State issues, education,
taxation, railroad legislation good
roads and the proposed employers
liability bill.
Congressman Foster followed with
an eloquent presentation OF the rec.
ord of the Republican party especial,
ly in the last IL years and cited the
prestige of the United States in China
and the settlement OF the Japanese
war. the development OF the postoffice
and agricultural department and the
great construction work of the Pan
anna canal and the reclamation SER
vice.
Governor Henry c. Ide said he had
not made a political speech in II
years and had not voted for president
since 1892 He said that YER
mont was the only State in the
Union that had never been carried
by the democrats since the foundation
of the Republican party. The people in
these hills carry their allegiance with
them year IN and year out. II the pollti-
cal pulse beats stronger in September
then the party leaders know what 70 ex-
pect in November Both sides realize
this and both will send this week their
best speakers from other States to In
fiuence the September vote.
Governor Ide then discussed with
great clearness two planks in the demo-
ratio platform. the proposed legislation
to guarantee deposites in national banks
and the proposition to regulate the price
Of commodities manufactured by corpor-
atoms He said the first was class legis-
lation and sociallstic, discriminating in
favor Of the rich and not protecting tho
poor man. The other proposition has
failed wherever tried.
Governor Ide closed with a striking
parallel of the two candidates referring
to Bryan as the man who had always
been sending up hot air ballons OF aban-
doned issues while Taft was the most
completely equipped man that ever
sought the presidency.
