 It ain't for the likes of you to touch" and throwing his coin on the floor,
 he stalked haughtily out of the door, with rage in his heart and an unsatisfied thirst.
 Once outside the thought of the enormity of the bluff began to trOu- ble him again; he knew he was right in what he had said to the young law breaker who had tried to take the Emblem off his coat, but what about himself? Even if he had
 bought the bond in very truth, was such an emblem for "the likes of him." and he, a slave to rum, the right to wear the badge of liberty? Like a shadow that thought fol

 Button for it, and he wasn't going to get drunk with that Button shin ing on his person. Pat felt that he was already degraded, but he would not degrade the Emblem. So, his possession became an ob session, a torture; he stood it fol days and nights of wandering and indecision; finally weary and deject ed, he stood before the boss. Pat made a clean breast of it to this man.
 Beginning with the speech, he told him how he had seen himself in the
 glass and compared himself to the speaker, whose words had hit him so hard, that they seemed to be meant for him alone.
 He told him how he had longed to possess the button which would
 mean that he was a true American, not just Pat, the booze fighter l;
 told him how he had found 1t shin ing in the gutter, and been encour- aged by the cordial greeting the
 Boss had given him that first day

 had decided that as he could not
 drag the Emblem down to him, he
 would pull himself up to it, and earn the right to wear it cleanly if he could only get the chance. The Boss listened attentively, with out interruption. chewing on the end of an unlighted cigar.

Fire Prevention Proclamation.

Governor Graham has issued a
proclamation in which he says:
"This nation loses annually by fire
two hundred and fifty million dollars.
a sum equal to the interest on the
Fourth Liberty loan. This vast amount
means tie destruction of immense
quantities of foodstuffs, cotton, wool,
lumber and munitions, all vitality nee
essary to the conduct Of the war. Pro-
duction is crippled and efficiency i'm
paired by fire. The adoption Of prop
er measures and the exercise of care
would materially reduce this enor-
nous loss.
''F'ire prevention at all times, but
especially at this time, is a patriotic
duty, therefore, |, Horace F. Graham,
governor, designate Saturday, Nov. 2,
1918, Fire Prevention Day and I urge
the cooperation of newspapers, civic
bodies, churches, schools and homes,
that every influence may be used to
promote fire prevention. Every per-
son in the state is called upon to en-
phasiZe the subject of lettering all
conditions that will reduce the hazard
Of fire. We must have wealth to win
the war, and the destruction of prop
erty by fire delays our war endeavors.
We are straining every effort to bring
to war to an early and successful
close. We may best secure an early
peace by continuing to prepare for a
long war. We must conserve all prop
erty, and one Of the best means of
conserving property is safeguarding
it from fire."

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Autos in U. S.

Now that the age of buggy parties
has practically passed away, except
perhaps on a gasless Sunday, many
people have asked the question, GLOW
many automobiles are there in the
United States? ?" According to reg
istration statistics collected by tire
company from the various states be-
tween January 1 and June of this
year no less than 5,461 ,791 automo-
biles were registered as compared
with 4,81O,917 in 1917. This is gain
of more than half million cars or
approximately Is per cent. Vermont
according to the table, showed gain
of 20 per cent, 1890 cars being reg
istered the first five months Of
1918 compared to 14,675, for the

Brave and Cheerful.

Private Emery Of Newport, son of
Col. and Mrs. G. S. Emery, has been
decorated for bravery and cheerful
ness in action in France. Thus one Of
the most coveted prizes a soldier can
possess goes to this youthful Vermont
soldier. Whatever the future may hold
for him in years to come in the way
of rewards, none will equal in value
to him or his family this decoration
won in the field. Soldiers who win it
will be envied by men who wear the
stars of general. It is priceless. To
be brave, exceedingly brave, is basis
for bestowing the medal. To COM
bine with bravery a cheerfulness
which is mentioned in orders as being
q stimulus to his comrades in battle
is a double distinction. The cheer
full man is a Godsend to a. military
outfit as any one with experience will
promptly testify. The text books put
a premium on such a man. Vermont
will want to get better acquainted
with this youngster when the war is
over and he comes back to the home
land.-St. Adams Messenger.

Ii there ever was q time in the his
tory of the nation when a compre-
hensive, up-to-date administration Of
the affairs of the respective states
will be needed, that time will be at
the conclusion Of the war. It may be
said with pride that Vermont is pre-
pairing for that time, and preparing
with greater forethought than most
of us have considered, in the selection
Of the men whose names will appear
upon the state ticket in the Republi-
can column at the November election.
When the war is over Vermont, as
well as all the other states will be con-
fTonted with great and momentous
problems. Vermont will have for
governor a man whose experience in
the business world has covered a half
century. Mr.. Clement has been an
active and successful business man.
He has dealt with large affairs. He is,
therefore, fitted for the big affairs of
state that are sure to come. No man
knows Vermont better than Mr..
Stone. He will be a most valuable
state official, who will work hand in
hand with the executive that Yer
mont may do her full share in the re-
adjustment period. Mr.. Scott, as
treasurer; Mr.. Gates, as auditor; Mr.
Black, as secretary Of state and Mr..
Archibald, as attorney general, are
men who have proven their ability
and their desire for Vermont to be a
leader in the states of the nation
Would it have been possible to have
selected better ticket at this critical
time in our country's history?
