Vermont State Director of Pro-
hibtion Collins M. Graves was in
Washington the latter part of last
week. He told this papers cor
respondent that his er1ands with
the Prohibition Unit of the Treas
ury Department were manifold,
but the principal one was to urge
upon Commissioner Haynes the
appointment of Harry C. Shaw of
Rutland as Assistant Prohibition
Director. Mr.. Shaw has since re-
ceived his appointment. Mr..
Graves took lunch at the Capitol
with Senator Dillingham; Saturday
just before leaving for home.
Hon. Mason E. Stone of Mont
pelier former Lieutenant Governor
of Vermont and former State Su-
pcrintendent of Education, called
on members OF lhe delegation

Hoyt S. Knight, one of the stall
wart Vermonters who keep watch
and ward over the behavior OF
visitors in the Senate galleries
has taken a short vacation back
home to look after personal bust

The Vermont teams victory by
the score of 5 to 9 over the Mary

animal squealed picrcingIy and rolled

Something in his friends tone made
Tom obey without question The two

started they heard, back of them u

the cub he had shot, racing after
them.
"There!' Paul gasped, pointing.

tree himself Tom sprang for the
tree Paul had pointed out.
1t was only their separating that
prevented one of them from beinc
caught. The bear hesitated an instant
over which one to follow and that
gave the boys time enough to climb
beyond the reach Of her claws.
Keep climbing" shouted Paul
from his tree. She may 60 after
you"
The enraged beast did, indeed. try
to climb the trees, but she found then,
too slender to trust after she had
reached the lower branches. But she
kept racing furiously from one tree
to the other, rearing herself against
tho trunks and biting and clawing
savagely at the bark. Her cub had
crawled after her, and now lay on
some leaves about eighty feet from
the trees. The little animal kept up
pitiful moaning and whining and
this served to keep the mother in

Well" cried Paul, we're safe for
the present. but there's no telling how
long We'll have to perch here. That
cub is badly hurt and so long as il
stays here the old bear will stay with

to stay by it for long time. l guess

He was a good prophet The cub
would make no effort to move even
though the old bear tried to coax it to

INJUNCTION SUIT AGAINST
HIGHWAY COMMISSION
DISMISSED.

The injunction suit filed against
the State Highway Commission by j..
N. Pharr & Sons was dismissed by
Judge Brunot last Monday at Baton
Rouge on the ground that the at
torneys set forth no cause for action.
This suit was filed several weeks
ago and sought to prevent a change
in the route of highway from Nor
gan City through Avoca Island to
Gibson. Judge Brunot, in his decision
said that the Commission has been
given discretionary power in the
construction of highways, and this
power will not be restrained except
for very grave reasons; and not on
the plaintiffs mere assumption that
it's action would harm them, some
thing more substantial being re-
uuired.

ELKS HOLD SERVICE IN HONOR
OF FLAG.

A beautiful and impressive cere-
mony in honor Of the American flag
was conducted by the Franklin Lodge
Of Elks, in the Court House on We'd
nesday afternoon. The public was in
vited and quite number attended.
Patriotic songs were sung by the
audience, and Mr.. R. Norman Bauer
gave the history of the flag, then
told in few, but eloquent words, what
it stands for. Mrs. j. M. Grevem-
berg, in her usual charming manner
recited a selection entitled, "The
Star Spangled Banner"
Judge Percy Saint, in short ad-
dress, explained the meaning of the
national banner. He said: "People
have come to think of the things
that the flag stands against, and moi
of what it stands for, as they should
for it stands for all we have-liber
ty, education, protection; the ad
vance of civilization"
Music was furnished by the Frank
lin Concert Band.

5000, ,0Oth Ford Built May
18th.

The six millionth Model "T" Ford
Motor was produced May 18th, in
the Ford Factory at Detroit. In other
when the Ford Motor Company be-
gan marketing the now famous Mo-
del "T' Car until May 18th, 1922, a
total of six million Ford Cars and
Trucks have been produced. Out of
this total 5,517,9 1856 were delivered to
purchasers in the United States a.
lone, and according to the latest sta
tistics, 4,478,24S of these Ford Cars
and Trucks are still in daily service
Thus, it will be seen that out of
every FIVE Ford Cars and Trucks sold
to retail purchasers in the United
States alone during the past four
teen years four are still in actual
daily use, which is really remarkable
when the hard service of commercial
cars is taken into consideration. This
seems to forcibiy confirm that pop
ular knowledge Of the longevity of
Ford Cars.
That Ford products have been quite
evenly distributed throughout the
United States is borne out hy the
fact that thru the sparsely Settled
communities in tha West to the den
sely populated cities in the East,
practically the same ratio of Ford
cars and trucks to population exists.
Ohio leads with a total of a90,76
Ford Cars and Trucks in daily use;
Illinois esmes second; Pennsylvania
third; Texas fourth, and Michigan
fifth, with total Of 234,081. New
York, Iowa and California follow in
the order named, each having more
than 100000.
An idea of the important part
played by Ford Cars and Trucks in
the daily transportation Of goods and
persons in the United States can be
gained by realization of the fact
that with the Ford cars now in op-

5000 miles per year each, they would
