 Talk about preparedness. Fifty years ago farmer planted in the soil of his farm a walnut for the purpose of raising a tree to furnish the lumber for his own casket. Three years ago he had the tree cut down sawed into boards and let the lum- Der dry. A few months ago he got cabinet maker to make the casket and passed upon it himself, had his photograph taken sitting beside the casket and within a few days he was laid away to rest in it.

 Nc two finger nails on one hand grow at the same rate. The nail on the middle finger grows faster than any other, while the thumb nail is the slowest growing nail. As a rule the nails on the right hand grow faster than those on the left. The state of ones health. too, affects the rate of growth. The nails on invalids' hands grow considerably faster than those on the hands of the healthy. Taken on average, the rate of growth is one eighth inch per month, or from one inch to one inch and half year.

LETS ALL VOTE
Is Wise Solution of the Pros and
Cons on License Issue and
Abide Results

Every person in St. Johnsbury, who
is entitled to vote should be present
at the special town meeting next
Wednesday afternoon at two O'Clock
and exercise that privilege.
We have honest differences of
opinion. Let's all vote for what we
tulnk is best for St. Johnsbury and
then the real majority will rule. But
let us be sure that we are honest
with ourselves and with our town.
First, let US clearly understand the
question we are voting on and the
result of our vote. If we vote that
license shall be granted for the sale
of liquors of all kinds, saloons will
probably be opened in St. Johnsbury
. because of the chance of making big
profits even in the short period of
open selling.
If however, we vote that license be
granted for the sale of malt liquors
only, it is almost certain that no IL
cense will be taken out and no
saloon opened in this town. The
profit on malt liquors only would not
paw for the license. Malt liquors at
the present time are scarce, high
priced, and contain small percent
age of alcohol, and when a man
spends money for booze, he wants it
to contain enough alcohol so that it
| will "kick.'
We have all heard some rather pc
culiar arguments about this matter.
It is ludicrous how some of US try
to "kid ourselves along" about it.
Several men who no doubt thought
they were telling the truth have re-
Gently said that they voted for Ii
| cense at the annual town meeting and
now expect to vote for license to sell
all kinds of liquors as protest
! against the Sheppard amendment.
Some say they will vote for license
of all kinds because they think that
the calling of special town meeting
for this purpose is unfair.
Here is most ridiculous reason
for not voting at all, given by a very
moral gentleman, 81 shall not vote at
this meeting because I am not willing
to vote for any kind Of license" If
sufficient number took this attitude,
license for all kinds of liquors would
be assured.
Let's "can all this rot" "cut out
the camoufage," and fight squarely
on one side or the other. Either we
want Intoxicating liquors sold openly
in st. Johnsbury or we do not. If
we do, then vote for license to sell all
kinds. If we do not want open
saloons in st. Johnsbury, then vote
that license be granted for male
liquors only.
GO to it, ladies and gentlemen.
This is our picnic or our funeral as
the case may be. Let's do our own
thinking and our own voting. LET'S
ALL VOTE.
ONE VOTER
