Keep Your House Locked.

Keep your doors and windows
locked when you are not at home. and
even when you are at home see that

thieves, They are busy in Richmond
now and it's not a bit of use waiting
until your 'jools' and your husband s
collar buttons are stolen to lock your
house. An ounce of prevention" and
all the other sayings you know may
well be put to use.

VERMONT LEADERS
FOR PROHIBITION
Two Candidates For Republican NOM
nation For Governor Give APP
provai to Dry Amendment

Harrington, VI, Aug Rehabilitation
Of the prohibitory amendment 10 the
federal constitution by the Vermont
legislature OF 1918 has received the APP
prevail Of both the avowe ed candidates
rur the Republican nomination for gov
ernor, as former Lieutenant Governor
Frank NJ. Howe has issued statement
in which he joins his opponent Judge
Charles H. Darling, OF this city. In
support OF such action.
II is reported that the antI-prohihi-
ton leaders are considering the ques-
ton of asking former State Senator
percival w. Clement, Of Rutland. to
enter the Republican primaries on Sep
TENDER 10 as a candidate of the liquor
party. MIR Clement directed the CAM
paign when the state repealed the pro-
hibitory law in 1909. following which
he was twice defeated for governor.
He recently accepted the presidenc'
Of the Vermont Local option lea t".
The statement OF Judge Darling a.
dorsing prohibition as well as woman $
suffrage was issued three weeks ago.
That of Mr.. Howe says;
Il am in favor OF the ratification OF
the national prohibition amendment 1t
should be borne in mind, though. that
the action OF Vermont on the question
depends on the legislature elected and
not on the governor. who has no vote
on the issue and no power of veto. Ver~
mont recently went on record as DC
cisively in favor of state local option
as opposed to state prohibition. While
national prohibition is different issue,
the people have the right to enforce
their convictions. and the only sure
method Of expression in their hands
Is IN the election OF senators and rep
resentatives.
1T is not n time for experiment in
any field save that Of patriotism. I.
is right and proper to be deeply con-
cerned in the prohibition amendment.
To many II seems of Importance hardly
second to the war and II is therefore
certain to stir deeper feeling than any
ordinary issue. This In itself does no
harm: but no mere difference of opinion
should blind us to the need of co-ope-
ration in the great common cause All
should work together to elect legis-
lature that can be trusted TO do its
work quickly and economically. YER
mont needs it's money for the war.
Other expenditures except such as are
necessary for the conservation of our
assets and resources and for the pro-
lection of our people should be cur
tailed as far as Is humanity possible"

BREAD CARDS IN
EFFECT MONDAY

North Dakota went on a card sys-
TEN Monday. Burke county Is be-
ing put under the ban just as rap
idly as the cards can be distributed.
There are two cards in the ar
rangement One is the household
er's certificate in which the house,
holder sets forth the amount of the
several sorts of card foods on hand.
These cards are distributed to the
householders by the merchants and
are by the merchants returned to
the county food administrator who
In turn forwards them to the state
food administrator. Unless the
cards are signed and delivered to
the merchant no supplies can be
bought.
The customers card provides for
a. regulation of wheat -four, wheat
flour substitutes and sugar. The
date Of the last purchase, the
amount of last purchase, the date of
the purchase applied for, the
amount of last purchase and the
number Of persons in the family
are specified. The amount which
may be purchased by the customer
~ HAeu IOr perlOQ or thirty days
and when that amount Is exhausted
the customer will have to do with
out until the expiration of the thir-
tv day period. This places the
public on a conservation food basis
that will enforce the provisions of
the law automatically. The Gus
toner's card is issued every thirty
days and householders who do not
sign the first card cannot procure a
second, so that it Is important that
they sign the survey or household
er's certificate at once.
Severe penalties are provided for
any infraction of the law and those
who violate its provisions will be
turned over to the enforcement bu-
reau of the federal government for
prosecution.

for reelection to the same office.
There Is very little question but
what he will be returned to the Of
fee. We do not think we will be
disputed when we say that his Of
fee is one. of the best conducted in
the court house, that Burke county
never had a more pleasant, a more
accommodating, a more economical
or a more competent official than
Mr.. Melby has proven himself to
be, and we cannot possibly see
where the taxpayers would profit
any by q change.

COUNTY JUDGE CAR.
TER TO RETIRE

County Judge F. F. Carter an
nounces that he will retire from Of
flee on the, conclusion of his present
term. He will not be a candidate
to succeed himself. Mr.. Carter has
held the Office of county judge Of
Burke county for eight years, Or
since the county was organized, and
as far as we know has been giving
the voters and taxpayers the very
best kind of service, and we have no
doubt whatever but that he would
be reelected to the place without
opposition In case he desired to
keep the Office: His reason for re-
firing at this timev1s his age and
Mrs. Carter's poor health. Mr..
CartefSfs 68 years old, and Mrs,
Carter during the past few winters
has been suffering from a severe
case of rheumatism. 1t is Mr.. Car
ter's intention to take her to some
sanitarium during the coming vim
ter. Mr.. Carter's retirement from
Office will be greatly regretted by
practically everyone who knows
him. He might have made mis-
takes while in office, and some Of
his decisions might not have pleas
ei' those who came into his court,
but in every instance he did what
he thought was right and just to
all parties concerned, ana was con-
scientious in all his acts. He never
showed any favoritism among liti-
gants, was not tied down to any
clique or faction, and was entirely.
free at all times to do just what in.
his opinion was his duty. It ia
hoped that his successor, whoever
he may be. will continue the high
standard Of service given the vot-
ers by Mr.. Carter.
