my thanks for numerous courte-
sizes.
When / stopped at Mr.. Ever
tits, at noon, was very much
surprised to meet Mr.. John Smith
and his daughter, Mrs. Barsha,
who reside about three mile west
of Logan. They were called there
by the death of Mrs. George Ever
lit, Mrs. Smitn's niece, who was
buried the day previous, Tuesday.
Their trip was very distressing
one, indeed.
Before leaving Mr., Everitt's,
Thursday morning, ! met Mr.. j.
II. Downhour, of Bremen, who is
teaching the No. 6 school in Rush
Greek township. Mr.. Downhour
is an old Hooking county teacher,
having taught in Ward township
some forty years ago, and later.
He is in our estimation, tine oldest
and one of the most efficient teach
ers in this section of Ohio. He is
not only a successful teacher but
very pleasant gentleman.
After leaving Mr.. Everitt's |
started over the hills TO Heyd's
Mill, arriving there about noon.
l stopped few minutes for chat
with the boys, Beecher and VIM.
A. Scholl, and learned of the
death of their sister, who resides
in Bremen. They, and their fam
lily, have the sympathy of the en-
tire community in their loss and
distress.
w. A. Scholl began a seven
month term in District No. 6,
September %. He started with
an enrolment of 81, which has in
creased to Al, with daily average
attendance of 33. Mr.. Scholl
started teaching at the age of 20.
He was successful from the scarf,
and by close and careful applica-
tion has acquired the reputation
of being one of the most success
full instructors, considering eXper-
ience, in Southern Ohio. He is
giving the very best of satisfac-
tion.
Since my last letter have added
to the list Chas. Barthlow and w.
f. Stultz, Logan; Merritt Mont
gomery, Columbus, o.; Mrs. 2.

new STATE LAWS.

Several important acts of the Legis-
lature went into effect Jan. ;st. These
include the State roads act, the act in
regard to school appropriations, the
pure drugs and medicines act, and the
act relating to bait barrels. Of these
the most important is the law to pro-
vide for State aid and for the expendi-
ture of other public moneys in the per-
manent improvement of main highways
since it marks some radical changes in
policy. The objects as stated are ito
obtain a more uniform system for the
permanent improvement of main high
ways throughout the State, to secure
the cooperation of the municipalities
and the State in providing means there
for, and to provide for more economical
and efficient expenditure of moneys ap-
propriated for highway construction
and repair" These are highly desir-
able purposes, and if the law succeeds
in accomplishing what its trainers hop
ed for it will confer great public bene-
fit. Very likely there are states with
worse roads, but Maine needs better
ones very much.
The law as it now stands seems to eS-
tablish a fairly consistent and system
attic policy. In the first place, there is
a State highway department, with a
commissioner at the head, empowered
to appoint civil engineer as assistant.
To provide funds State tax is assess
ed OF third of a mill on each dollar
of valuation, and each town is required
to set apart out of the money annually
appropriated for the repair of highways
specified amounts for the permanent
improvements Of its main highways
ha I'D nf Stuf 70 roiS
4ioner, these amounts to run from fifty
cents on each thousand dollars of valu-
alton in towns having less than 5000, 900
of valuation, down to 8 1-3 cents on the
thousand for towns with valuation of
$15, ZOO, 600 and upwards. That is to say
a town with 100000 valuation would
have to set apart 500 for permanent
improvement, and Portland would have
to provide in the same way something
over 1000. In case of unincorporated
townships having highways the county
commissions are required to set aside
in the same way SO 1-3 cents on each
thousand of valuation. Hitherto the
raising of money for State roads in con-
sideration of receiving State aid has
been voluntary with the towns, but
now it becomes compulsory. The towns
have to set apart their quotas, and if
they wish State aid they must set apart
so per cent additional, taking a vote
each year on the question of State
aid: To those applying for State aid
and complying with the conditions
amounts are to be apportioned varying
from rs cents on each dollar set apart
by the town of one million valuation
and upwards to two dollars for each
dollar set apart by the town of 500, 900
valuation or less. The work is to be
done under supervision of the State

FINE RECORD OF ANR.F D. CARRIER

Eugene Barnes, carrier on R. F. D. route
No. from Bucksport, probably has one of
the best records of any r. f. d. carrier in
the Pine Tree State. For the past 10 years
he has served the patrons along the route
between Bucksport and Stockton Springs
and up to the present time has never missed
single trip. What makes this record espe-
cially noteworthy is the fact that Mr. Barnes
is obliged to cross the FenobscOt river when
he starts out on his trip, which, at this point,
Is broad and at certain seasons of the year,
is very dangerous to cross.
Mr.. Barnes comes from sterling old New
England stock, his forefathers having been
prominent in the early history of the coun-
try, both in war and peace. His grandfath-
er, Amos Barnes, was Revolutionary SOL
der who served under General Putnam and
who was at Valley Forge His father, Rich
ard E. Barnes, also had a military record,
serving in the War of 1872.
Mr.. Barnes uncle, Albert Barnes of North
Conway, n. H., who is still living, and is
now postmaster at that place, has the proud
distinction of being the only surviving son
of soldier who fought at Bunker Hill. Sew
eral years ago he and his wife attended the
exercises in celebration of the battle on the
18th of June. This Mr. Barnes built the
second church ever constructed in North
Conway, and his father (the grandfather of
Eugene Barnes), built the first one which
that town ever possessed

IAN OLD RIVER TOWN.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
We are pleased to announce that, after
several exasperating delays over which
we had no control, we shall be ready
to ship copies of An Old River Town,
BY Ada Douglas Littlefield the latter
part of next week.
We venture to say that no town in
the United States has ever had pub
ished q more quantity interesting mar
rative of its history, nor one upon
which both author and publisher have
expended greater effort. We shall lay
it before the people of Winterport and
surrounding territory with the hope
that these efforts will merit their just
appreciation, and we take this Opportu-
nifty to extend the THANKS of both auth
or and publisher to all who have re-
sponded to the call.
In this connection we regret to say
that the outlying districts have respon-
ded in much larger measure than the
town itself, Notwithstanding the fact
that the price was made purposely low,
that the book might be within the
reach of all. The price will positively
be increased to $3.50 per copy after the
advance subscriptions have been filled.
and we beg to announce, also, that
twelve of the illustrations have been
made into as many post cards, put up
in package at rs cents per package.
We thank you heartily for the cordial
cooperation you have extended to
Miss Littlefield and her publishers, and
we trust our request that this an
nouncement be published in your col
umns will not be too great an encroach-
ment on your generosity.
Faithfully yours,
CALKINs AND COMPANY.

commissioner. To illustrate, a town
of 100000 valuation would have to set
apart in the first place State road fund
Of $50. 1t would then have to add so
per cent, or S25, in order to secure State
aid. The State would then give two
dollars for one, or $3.50, and the town
would have for the purpose all told 1926.
Suppose the city to have set apart $4,000
it would receive $4,000 from the State.
1t will be seen that the act as thus out
lined is a radical darture from the form
State road policy. fought to give road
building decided boom.
The new school law, reduces the
amount which towns are required to
raise for the support of common schools
from so cents per inhabitant to IS cents
and raises the State tax for the same
purpose from one mill to one and one
half mills on the total valuation of the
State. This relieves the small towns by
so much and throws the burden more
onto the general property of the State;
so that while some Of these towns are
complaining of the State roads act as
unfair to them, since they have no use
for such roads and do not see why they
should be required to appropriate fifty
cents on the thousand for them, the
school act provides ample compensa-
ton.
The pure food and drug law makes it
unlawful to sell, transport. offer for sale
or transportation, or to manufacture,
any adulterated or misbranded article
of food or drug. The definitions of
what is considered by the law as adul-
iteration or m;sbranding are given at
length and with such particularly that
there need be no mistake, and the pen
atty is 500 fine for the first offence and
5000 for each subsequent offence. The
new law regulating the size of clam
bait barrels is chiefly of interest to
fishermen.

THE ILLS OF WINTER.
The Easiest Thing In the World to
Overcome Them If You Know How.

No season Of the year has greater
variety or more acute ills than the
months from October to April.
The winter bruises and sprains or
the serious colds that lead to pneu-
monfa, can all be readily cured by
Neuralgia Anodyne. There is not a
home in the Northern states that will
not get many times its value at this
season from the Anodyne.
Rheumatism, neuralgia, headaches
N fact, aches and pains of every de-
scription are quickly and positively
cured by this valuable household rem
edy. Even the sore chilblains will
quickly disappear when Neuralgia Ano-
dyne is rubbed on
If you use a bottle of Anodyne and
do not think you have gotten more
than rs cts. value from it, take back
the empty bottle to your dealer, and he
will refund the money to you, and the
proprietors, The Twitchell Champlin
Co., Of Portland. Me-, will reimburse
