The withd. avail of john A. Par
fridge, principal of the Lawrence High
school, Fairfield, as a Democratic
candidate for the nomination Tor
clerk of courts makes an interesting
situation in this county and entirely
satisfactory to the Democrats OF
Skowhegan at least. The Democrats
here almost to q man favored MI
Seekins, the Republican candidate, and
urged Fairfield Democrats to let the
ticket go vacant in this respect. AT
the eleventh hour, however, for filing
the nomination papers two Democrats
in Fairfield came to Skowhegan TO get
primary petitions but there was no
support here whatever. 1t is believed
by leading Democrats here that no
further effort will be made to get
candidate to oppose Mr.. Seekins. Ac-
cording to the primary law candi-
date could be chosen by the Demo-
cratic county committee. Four years
ago Mr.. Seekins was both the Republl-
can and the Democratic nominee. At
a recent Democratic meeting, leading
Democrats from various parts of the
county declared publicly that there
was not q better man in the county
than Mr.. Seekins for the office.

HEARD EXPECTS

Little Rock, May 8.-Homer Heard, the Little Rock young man implicated by the confession of Wm. Airing, an express messenger, in a sensational robbery on the Rock Island near Lit tie Rock, April 9, is confident that he will be able to establish a complete alibi
 Dunn, the former Rock Island con- ductor, also implicated by Airing, emphatically denies all complicity in the alleged holdup. Heard and Dunn, asserting their own innocence, say that Airing must be attempting to shield someone else, and further ar rests are expected.
 Heard has witnesses who will teS- tify that he was in Little Rock or Argenta almost every hour of April I9, the day of the robbery as we'll as the following day. Airing in his con- fession says that he saw Heard in Hot Springs at and , o'clock on the afternoon of the day of the robbery

COUCH TWO YEARS OLD
Yields to Vinol. Read Why.

Strong vigorous men and women hardly ever catch cold; it's only when ihe system is run down and vitality iow that colds and coughs get a foot aold.
 Now isn't it reasonable that the right way to cure cough is to build gD your run down condition again?
 Mrs. D. A. McGee of Waycross, Ca. says: T had chronic cold and cough which kept me awake nights for two years and I felt tired all the time. Vfnol cured my cough and feel stronger in every way"
 The reason Vinol Is so efficacious sn such cases is because it contains in g delicious concentrated form all 1he medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, with tonic, blood build ing iron added.
 Chronic coughs and colds yield to VinoL because it builds up the weak. ened, rundown system.
 You can get your money back any stuoe If Vinol does not do all we say.

CONWAY INHABITANTS
 SEE UNUSUAL SIGHT

Inhabitants of Conway in the Vii cinity of the city light plant this morning were very much alarmed when they awoke and beheld, suspend ed atop a smokestack 65 feet in height, what they supposed was real man. Horrible things passed through their minds. Was there a lynching last night?" asked one. Others thought steeple-jack was painting the stack, but closer observation re- vealed the fact that the "man" had no paint brush. What was to be done? they asked. An investigation party soon was formed, and to the ut ter amazement of the curious crowd, it was discovered that party of boys, thinking it would be great sport to slip one over on the townspeople, had taken life-size dummy and hung it on the smokestack.

NO EXAMINATIONS
 Al STATE NORMAL

Following the example of many of our northern and eastern schools the Normal has abolished examination for this term and if results are favorable probably examinations will be abolish ed permanently. For the past three or four years there has been movement in this country for the abolition Of examinations. It seems that every where the experiment is being tried the results are highly pleasing Naturally enough the Normal should be quick to take up any sound, req sonable, progressive pedagogical re- form since pedagogy forms one of our most highly developed departments.
 All students of pedagogy know that no place whatever is provided for ex- animation in the five formal steps of teaching as outlined in the Herbar- tian system. No deep thought IS 1n- volved in the process of arriving at the conclusion that examining is not an act of teaching. On the contrary, it is taking from the pupil what has been given him. Nevertheless we must not too seriously condemn ex- aminations. They have served good purpose in the ages past and for the future there will always be tests whether in the school room or else where. We believe that it is safe to predict that as the proper method of teaching gradually comes into use examinations will at the same time gradually go out of use. As for the experiment now being tried in the
 Normal, both faculty and students are watching the effects with much 'n- terest.-Normal Echo.

Griffin argued in favor of organized govern ment, while MT. Perrin contended that the only method of ameliorating the ills of humanity was by means of socialism. Mr. Griffin admitted that there was some good in socialism, but said that the internationalist Socialist platform was entirely wrong. It was a good-natured meeting, the Socialists present frequently applauded MT. Griffin, even when he made the state ments they were unwilling to endorse. MT. Perrin's arguments were ire 4uently greeted with loud applauses.

PURCHASE OF ROCK
 CRUSHER DEFERRED
From Saturdays Daily

From Saturdays Daily
 hitch in the plans has caused postponement of the purchase of the rock crusher shipped here several weeks ago by the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Co. Arrangements for the purchase of the machine were made by County Judge J. ". Holt and a committee of the old council, the agreement being that Judge Holt should pay for the crusher out of the city's portion of the road tax funds and the city should furnish an cleo trice motor to operate it and build transmission line from the electric plant to the site of the crusher. Some opposition to carrying out this agree ment has developed in the new council and majority of the members are said to have requested that no order he placed for the present for the motor and transmission line, the cost of which IS estimated at about S1 GOO The opponents to the plan claim that the character of the stone in this vi. cinity is unsuitable for macadam roads being too soft, and also that if wouId cost as much to operate the plant and crush the stone as if it were secured from the Little Rock crushers and shipped here.
