PROGRESSIVE CONVENTION.

The State convention of the Pro-
gressive party was held last week
Thursday at Burlington and caucuses
were held in the different towns on
Saturday of the previous week. The
good people of the State who believe in

party this fall An organization has
been effected in nearly every town of
the State, and the Progressives are
entering the campaign with a deter

WORK FOR THE PREVENTION
OF FIRE.

Understanding that it requires as
much agitation and as many good les
sons as anything else, the governor of
New York has fixed the ninth of October
as fire prevention day throughout that
State. 1t is in support of the magnifi-
cent effort which has been undertaken
throughout the country in behalf of
avoiding the disastrous effects of fire
and the attendant danger of life that
the influence of this effort is added
Determined efforts are being made for
safety in places of danger, about
machinery, in hi hways and wherever
human beings are employed about
mechanical contrivances and it is as i'm
portant that serious attention should be
given to the prevention of fire.
AS the New York Tribune well says
in this regard: TOO much emphasis
cannot be laid on the waste and danger
of fires and on the utterly unnecessary
character of many fires which occur.
Annually hundreds of thousands of
dollars and many lives are lost in each
large city of this State through fires
wholly needless--that is, which We're
caused by criminal carelessness or
neglect of danger breeding conditions.
Education against negligence and
against carelessness is needed. Official
action and the making of laws cannot
meet the situation until the public itself
is aroused. Fire Prevention day is
good press agent work for the saving of
dollars and lives.
Fire Prevention day should not be
confined to one city or State. 1t should
exist everywhere and to no one day
should the practice of its principles be
restricted. Fire prevention should be
practced wherever opportunity can be
found. Rutland News

Auto Hurled OFF Bridue.

Putney. Sept. 80. Martin Sleeper of
Bellows Falls sustained double frac-
ture of one arm, Mrs. Sleeper was cut
on one arm and Mrs. A. M. Corser of
Putney received severe bruises yester-
day, when Mr.. and Mrs. Corser's Over
land touring automobile collided with a
large car from Maine about three miles
north of Putney and went off the Angler
bridge into a brook, distance of Is
feet. The front wheels of the Corser
car were torn off.
The accident happened on the Dana
Angler bridge. Mr.. and Mrs. Corser
had started for the Bellows Falls fair
and at East Putney they were joined by
Mr.. and Mrs Martin Sleeper, relatives
of Mrs. Corser. AS the car approached
the bridge the Maine car, driven by a
Mr.. Baxter, came onto the other end of
the structure. Both cars were travelling
at low rate of speed but bushes OBJ
structed Mr.. Corsel s view of the road
and he could not stop his car in ii ne to
avert the collision. There was not
room enough for the cars to pass on the
bridge.
When the machines collided the Corser
car struck c. f. Farmer of East Putney
who was standing on the bridge, and
swept him into the brook The car
turned completely over, pinning Mrs.
Corser beneath the wreckage. Work
men nearby Immediately extricated her
were thrown into the brook, but escaped
injury.

If women go into farming more, they
will be turning from callings that are
overcrowded into one in which the
whole world is crying for the product.
1t always pays to work in a field where
the demand exceeds the SUI ply. The
agricultural schools are reporting this
fall that many women are taking their
courses of study. Perhaps the sight of
the millions of Europes women, who
are finishing this years harvest, may
inspire others in this country to choose
this opening. Rutland News.

Webb City, Okla, Oct. 1.-After
more than two score men, many of
them injured had climbed $50 feet up
ladders to the surface it was announced
late tonight that the last of the men i'm
prisoned by the cavern of the American
Davey zinc mines had been rescued and

succeeded in finding all.
The electric lighting and hosting
system was paralyzed.
Through mine No. : Is miners climb
ed to the surface after finding their
way through darkened drifts by liber-
ating blind track mule and following
him as he made his way over path he
had trod unseeingly for years to the
shaft. All of these men were injured,
but none dangerously.
Nurses, physicians and ambulances
were sent from Carthage and Joplin.
The escaping miners could give no re-

STATE BOARD GIVES FIGURES.

There had been reported to the State
board of health up to Tuesday 1876 cases
of infantile paralysis in the State since
the present epidemic started early in
the summer. OF these cases 20 were
fatal. Practically all of the cases are
north of a line extending from Lake
Champlain, east through the town of
Bridport to the town of Bradford on the
Connecticut river.
DR.. C. S. Caverly, president of the
State board of health, is of the be-
lief that with the approach of cooler
weather, frosts and autumn rains the
disease will abate. Should there come
period of warm weather, bringing
with it dust, flies and other insects,
Dr. Caverly looks for continuance of
the malady.

CARDINAL ASKS PRAYERS
FOR PEACE.

Prayers for peace, in conjunction with
President Wilson's peace proposal, are
requested by Cardinal O'Connell in a
circular letter sent to all the priests of
the archdiocese. He urges that special
prayers for an end of the European
conflict be offered Oct 4. The letter
reads:
Reverend Dear Father President
Wilson's desire that Oct. should be
set apart as a national day of prayer
for the cessation of the war in Europe
is most praiseworthy one and has our
heartiest appreciation.
In these trying times, when so many
great nations are immersed in the hor-
rors of war, it is splendid and consoling
thought that the chief executive of our
nation seeks to turn the minds and
hearts of his people from strife, and
requests them to unite in petitioning
the Prince of Peace to bring to an end
the terrible and deporabe conflict now
raging throughout Europe, bringing I'M
told suffering and misery upon so many
millions of our fellowmen.
:" In accordance with the President 5
proclamation we therefore appoint Sun
day, Oct. A, day of special prayer for
the restoration of peace among the ma.
tons. We request the priests of our
diocese to offer their masses and ask
the prayers of the Pensioners on that
day for that particular intention, and to
make The Blessings of Peace the
subject of their sermons.

Hurt BY Tire Explosion.

Rutland, Sept. 26-Physicians have
little hope of saving the life of Gilbert
Chirnabeau of Manchester, who was
badly injured in peculiar accident late
Thursday night. The chauffeur had
just finished replacing a new tire Oil an
automobile and filing the tube with air
when the tire exploded, the iron rim
crashing into the mans body, one edge
striking him full across the eyes and
smashing his face to pulp. The skull
between and just above the eyes is
badly fractured, he is practically blinded
probably will never be able to see again,
while his nose is broken in two or three
places, and several bones in his right
hand are broken.
The new tire with new inner tube had
been placed on one of the rear wheels
and the tube inflated with a regular foot
pump and as near as can be learned, Mr..
Chirnabeau was leaning over disconnect-
ing the pump tube from the tire when
it suddenly exploded. Friends nearby
heard the explosion and medical aid
was summoned, the man being brought
to the Rutland Hospital. Mr.. Chirna-
beau is 25 years old and is unmarried.

WOMEN AT WORK IN THE FIELDS

WOMEN AT WORK IN THE FIELDS

The sight of women doing farm work in

has always been common. The ma

Of recent years, as foreign labor has

unusual to see women doing farm work

Also many women of American de-
scent have been learning during the

for them in many departments of farm
work. Market and fruit gardening
are such chances. The high price of
meat has created an enormously in
creased demand for farm vegetables
and kindred products.
Many a school teacher who has left
the farm to work for $400 a year in
some high cost of living town would
have done better to start little enter

a man available for lifting heavy

that is not easily within the capacities
of women. IL is probably true that the
