county, representative Loren M. San
gum of South Portland and his asso-
ciates from the House, Martin L. Dur
gin Of Milo, Aaron A. Putnam of Houl-
ton and William II. Mitchell of New
port.
The meeting here was simply an in
vestigation Of the condition of the
different county officers of how the
different functions of these offices
were being carried out and how much
time and labor were spent upon the
nature Of the work in the different
offices. Among those present at the
hearing and who took part in the dis
cussion were T. F. Mahoney of Ellis
worth, register of probate: Charles II.
Leland of Ellsworth. register of deeds;
Fred L. Mason of Ellsworth. county
attorney elect; B. E. Clark of Bar
Harbor, judge of probate elect; w. o.
Emery of Sullivan, register of deeds
elect; Sheriff Forrest o. Silsby, coun-
ty commissioner, NJ. L. Allen of Mt.
Desert and John E. Bunker of Bar
Harbor clerk of courts
Very few demands were made for
increase of salary, the principal de-
mands being made for additional clerk
hire. Mr.. Mahoney urged that the
salary of register of probate be in
creased from $1,000, which it now is,
to $500. Mr.. Leland advocated an
additional allowance for clerk hire in
the office of register of deeds, declar-
ing that during his term of office the
amount appropriated for clerk hire in
his office lacked S166 annually of being
enough of maintaining the clerical
force.
The commission left Wednesday ag-
ternoon for Machias where they were
in session Thursday.

FOR UkSICHTLY
COMPILATIONS
USE: RESIN0L

Pimples and blackheads disappear,
onsightly compilations become clean,
clear, and velvety, and hair health and
beauty are promoted by the regular
use of Resinol Soap and an occasional
application of Resinol Ointment. These
soothing, healing preparations do their
work easily, quickly and at little cost,
when even the most expensive cosmetics
and complicated beauty treatments fail.
Resinol is not an experiment. It is
a doctors prescription which proved
so wonderfully successful for skin trou-
bles that it has been used by other
doctors all over the country for nine-
teen years. No other treatment for the
skin now before the public can show
such record Of professional approval.
Every druggist sells Resinol Ointment
(50c. and $1,000, and Resinol Soap
t25e.) but for trial size, free, write
to Dept. XXX, Resinol, Baltimore, Md.
Avoid worthless substitutes offered by

rangements for the conduct of such
extension courses during the year

The course to be offered this year
win be Educational Psychology and
will be offered in twelve periods. This
course will furnish the basis for furth-
er work to be undertaken In succeed
ing years. The courses will be con-
Quoted by members of the faculty of
the various Maine colleges.
The announcement to the teachers
reads in part as follows:
Credits.
Definite assignments of work will be
required throughout the course with
prescribed outside reading. An exami-
nation will be held at the close of the
course. A certificate stating the work
accomplished will be given to each
teacher satisfactorily completing the

ment will consider these certificates in

Expense.
The fee for the course will be $500
exclusive OF text books. No class will
be organized for less than ten teach
ers and In case the fees do not meet

lection of the fees. The list of teach
ers enrolled should be sent at once to

formed in the current year after Oc-

be established will endeavor to make
selections that will serve as fairly as
possible all sections Of the State.
1t is suggested that the teachers Of

Oklahoma, where he was in the lum-
Der business and purchased the Arcade

entering as he did into public affairs
Of the town and always championing
those movements which looked to-
ward the increase of the business
prosperity and progress of Wauseon.
he won for himself a large circle of
friends and he will be missed by the
entire community.
Funeral services, conducted by the
Defiance Commandry Knights Temp
ar, of which he was a member, were
held from his late residence on Otto
lkee street on Monday afternoon, and
