rises like a huge, opening leaf around
the chin and there is a hem of the

WARNING TO

best to call the attention of the public to the

The law provides that rate OF speed eX-

CALEDONIA ROADS
Good Trunk Line From North TC
SOuth-PatrOl Men Keeping
Sections In Repair.

The good roads movement is cer-
tainly bringing tangible results and
more modern methods to Caledonia
county. One could never ride from
Passumpsic to the north line of the
county in Westmore in more comfort
than he can today and the county was
never known to have it's main lines
of travel in as good condition at this
time of year before. This is the re-
suit of the determination of H. B.
Ward of Danville, county road COM
missioner, to expend all the money
the state appOrtions to this county for
the maintenance of improved roads
fully expended and the roads kept
in the best possible condition. He
also believes that the best results
can be obtained before the roads
are baked down and puIverized by
the summer heat. He also believes
the travelling public is entitled to a
good road before the fall rains come
to rut it and then freeze it up too
rough for pleasure riding.
He has secured patrol men to look
after the road from Passumpsic
through to the Burke line and today
instead of large gangs of men block
ing the road one will now find a man
on the different sections removing
the loose stone smoothing out the
rough places or otherwise improving
the road. Road drags or homes are
also being used more than ever be-
fore and it is planned after every
rain of any Importance to have the
roads smoothed and crowned with
these machines. The highway from
fence to fence will be kept cleared
and stones and bushes removed. The
road commissioner of Lyndon is
doing better work than ever and has
the main line through his town in
much better condition than usual.
When Burke is reached there are no
patrolmen as the commissioner there
is especially interested III maintain
ance work and no better roads in the
state can be found than in the south
end of that town. Nearer West
Burke the road is not so good but
the road drag keeps it in good shape
and it is planned to grade and widen
that part of the highway this season
ready to be surfaced with gravel
another summer.
The rider can easily tell where

the roads. While Sutton constructed
quite a long stretch of improved
highway last season no road drag has
been put on it this season or work
of any kind done and it is more
like the old time country roads in the
spring. A little work with a good
hone after the next good rain and
watching by a patrolman would make
a great Improvement. The same is

SUPT. PALMER RESIGNS
Has Accepted Position With Thos.
Cook and Sons and Gives Up
School Work

Corwin F. Palmer for six years
! Superintendent Of st. Johnsbury pub
lie schools, has resigned this position
| to take up other work which he has
been considering for the past year.
Mr.. Palmer notified the school direc-
tors in January that he was contem-
plating this change. The board
nevertheless rendered him an cleo
| ton and hoped he might be prevailed
upon to remain, but he had made
business engagements greatly to his
advantage, and his resignation has
accordingly been in the hands of the
directors for several weeks.
The position Mr.. Palmer has ac-
cepted is with a tourist agency
and he will conduct tours around the
world This will require only five
months of the year, and the remand
er Of the time Mr.. Palmer will devote
to literary work.
The directors thought best not to
announce this however, until they
had an opportunity to investigate the
qualifications of several men avail
able for this position. They expect
soon to announce their decision.
Mr.. Palmer in the six years he has
been in st. Johnsbury has made
splendid improvements in the local
public schools. He has introduced
what is generally acknowledged to
be the best. system of penmanship in
the country, has perfected our teach
ing organization, has introduced the
group system of teaching which has
proved very beneficial to a great num-
Der of our school children, and in
many ways has left the impress of a
first-class educator. 1t is hard to
estimate the value of work of this
kind to the young people of the COM
munity. The best wishes of the peo-
pie of st. Johnsbury will go out with
Mr.. Palmer in the new work which
he has decided to take up.

Certificate Filed too Late.

Thomas c. Hervey, of Morrilton,
viii not have his name printed on the
ballots of Conway county as an indie
pendent candidate for county judge.
His certificate was filed with the cleo
ton commissioners one day too late,
according TO the Interpretation of the
law by Attorney General Moose.
The law provides that certificates
of nomination or of candidacy shall
be filed with the commissioners not
less than Is days before the election.
In calculating this time, it is not
proper TO count the day of election.
AS the certificate was filed August
81, and the election is to be held
September IA, ii follows that the
certificate was filed only IA days
before the election, and therefore the
commissioners are not authorized to
print his name on the ticket.
Thomas c. Hervey is a former She
riff of Conway county, and one Of the
county's best known citizens. He had
sought to become a candidate against
Eugene Rhoden, the regular Demo-
cratic nominee, for county Judge.

Must Certify Nominees.


Attorney General Moose has writ
ten Will Jones, chairman Of the Pope
County Board of Election Commits
sioners, as follows:
You ask me whether the election
commissioners can lawfully place up
on the official ballot for the general
election in September, the names Of
any candidates who fail to file their
pledges with the county clerk as pro-
vided for in the Corrupt Practices"
Act.
IF the candidates have been duly
elected and certified as the nominees
of the party, l think it then becomes
the duty of the election commission
ers to have their names placed on the
ballots, whether they have filed the
pledge required by law or not
The act requiring the pedge to be
filed does not state that the commits
sioners may refuse to have the names
of such candidates placed on the bal
lots in case they fail to file the
pledge. If the candidates violate the
Corrupt Practices Act by failure to
file the pledge, or in any other way,
a penalty is provided for in the act
for such failure.
The election commissioners, in my
opinion. have no right 20 pass upon
the question as to whether a candi-
date has filed the pledge"
