As the result of continuance of Port
land liquor cases an interesting sit
uation has developed. The grand jury
will report Tuesday morning. Fully
a dozen cases in the lower court that
would ordinarily be presented to this
body have been continued either until
the day before the grand jury meets
or until subsequent days. 1t has been
claimed by some of the officials that
lawyers for the defense have tried to
dodge the grand jury session by hav-
ing their cases postponed until after
the jury meets. County Attorney Bates
has shown an inclination to meet this
dodge and it is said that the grand
jury will be in session for two weeks
continuously, with the main purpose
of considering the numerous violations
of the prohibitory law. This will mean
that the traverse jury, which will act
on the trial of criminal cases, will not
report until Jan. 19, an unusually late
date.

There is considerable agitation in
Durham on account of the claim that
a portion of the State school money
is being used to maintain a private
school for the Shilohites. This condi-
tion was brought to the board and
the citizens of the town, attention OF
the members of the school when the
three children of Lee Smith, a former
Shilohite. who renounced the faith and
moved his family from the Hilltop a
few months ago, were refused admis-
sion to the Hilltop school. Mr.. Smith
then appealed to the school board
which in turn took the matter up with
the Hilltop officials by letter and also
notified Mr.. Smith to send his chill
dren to the school and that they would
be admitted. They were told by the
authorities that they could not attend
the Hilltop school. Then Shiloh elders
communicated with Elijah Sanford,
founder and head Of the Holy Ghost
and Us Society, who is now serving
term of years in the Federal prison at
Atlanta, Ca, and it is alleged, received
instructions from him that only Shiloh
children should attend the Shiloh
schools as per arrangement made with
the Durham school board some eight
years ago. L. E. Sylvester is the sup
erintendent of schools for the town of
Durham and so far as he and the
members of the school board have not
overruled Sandford's decision. There

Postponed Meeting of Village Improve ment Society-SchooI Committee Makeup Under Diseussion-Other Local Notes.

The postponed annual meeting of the Village Improvement society was held
 Tuesday evening at Stonington library
 Several reports, showing the great amount of work that the society has done during the year, were read and accepted. and officers were elected for the ensuing year. The time for the annual meeting IS in June.
 The treasurer reported a balance on hand. in May, 1913, of S435.2S. The
 bazar held last summer netted $329.96
 contributions totaled $99 and S31.1S was realized from the rummage sale last season, making a total or sS95.12. The disbursements for 1913-14 includ-
 ed S130.50 for the care of Wadawanuck pary, $225 for spraying the elm trees,
 SS.32 for grass seed. s for raller, $S.10 for emptying garbage cans, $50 to w. J. Schoonman on account for shrubs,
 etc, at station plaza, making a total of
 S424.92. This left a balance on May
 31, 1914. of $471.20. so that the summer was started with this amount, plus $50
 contributed by the borough, making
 s510.20.
 The financial status of the society
 brought down to date shows a balance
 of $36.47 on hand, after the usual ex-
 penses incurred duri lg the summer
 season, which have included this sum- 'mer $150.T0 for the care of Wadawan-
 uck park, $225 for spraying the elm
 trees, sP7.50 for the balance due on the work about the station, s1S75 for the
 lamp posts in the park, and $2.7S for grass seed, making a total of $464.73. It will be seen from these figures that the society has spent for improve
 ments in the borough in a little more than a year nearly $1, 900. On account of the expense involved by the celebra- tion, the society has decided not to have any benefit entertainment this summer The annual dues are payable now, however, and all contributions for the work of the society will be appre- ciated. It has also been decided to omit spraying the elm trees next spring. There is no doubt but that this work has been of great benefit to the shade trees of the borough in prevent ing damage to them by the tim tree beetle and for six years the trees have been treated in this manner. It is hoped. however, that the beetle is pret- ty well exterminated in this section and that the work will not be necessary next spring.
 l. The following officers were reelected for the year: President, Miss Jean c. Palmer vice president, Warden c. B. Crandall; secretary, Miss Laura T. Wood; treasurer. Dr. c. M. Williams. Who Shall Serve?

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE As Seen by the General

Public confidence is the great est asset that any house of business can possess. It is more to be desired than the ability to make money.
 There are degrees of public confidence. It may be zero, a minus quantity, or a plus quan- tity- At zero no confidence ex- ists-nobody is for or against such a house. But this condi- tion can exist only where the house or its goods are unknown, and as soon as the public has given the house a trial it will pass judgment, and public con- fidence will then be expressed by a plus or minus sign, accord ing to the approval or disap- proval of the public as to the goods and policies of the house. If the goods are not as repre- scented, or if the policies are not in accordan nee with the ethics of good business, public confidence will drop to a minus quantity and the people will transact business with it's competitors whose business ideals are on a higher anG more satisfactory plane. If the goods are satis- factory, and if the policies of the house are right, the people will continue to do business with that house and will help to build it up.
 The plus sign of public con- fdence is always attached to the name of a house of business that considers service to it's customers, absolute integrity with reference to its goods, and high ideals in it's business poli- cies, as being Of greater conse- quence than the mere earning of dividends. A well satisfied community of customers is the key to the success of any house of business, and. having estab- 1ished this. dividends will be sure to follow.

TRUE VALUE OF

 Washington, D. C., Aug. 27.-The Japanese were among the first to recognize the true value of an army medical corps, accoring to Dr. Louis Livingstone Seaman, of New York, in a communication to the National Geo. graphic Society, at Washington, D. c. Dr. Seaman has made a world wide study of courageous and epidemic dis eases. He was with the second I'm perial Army of Japan at the front in Manchuria- and is the author of many well known medical books and papers
 "The Japanese medical officer is omnipresent," he says. You will find him in countless places where in an American or British army he has no place. In the Russian-Japanese war. he was as much in the front as in the rear. He was with the first screen of scouts with his microscope and chem icals, testing and labelling wells so the army to follow should drink no con- taminated water. When the scouts reached town he immediately in- stituted thorough examination of its sanitary condition, and if contagion or infection was found he quarantined

Already some names are being talked of in this con- nection. Dr. James H. Weeks of the borough, for a number of years school visitor under the old district syetem, and on that account well posted in town school matters, has been men toned as a possible candidate from the borough, and another name that Is be- ing discussed from this part of the town is that of Judge L.

Judge Fairbrother. together with the other members of the committee, devoted considerable of his time Co the preparation of the report. which was as comprehensive as anything of the kind ever undertaken in town. From Pawcatuck the name of William A. Wilcox is heard as being recom- mended as a member of the commit tee to be elected. It is expected that the slate will be agreed upon prior to tttIe caucuses at which nominations will be made, and, as the nomination is as good as an election, no contests

BARNES GETS OVER 500 ARIZONA VIEWS
 OF GREAT INTEREST

After completing a trip of over 2.O0O miles entirely in the state of Arizona. w E Barnes. the well known travel ing passenger agent of the Southern Pacific railroad. arrived in Bisbee last night on business for his company. For nearly a month he has sought out the picturesque and romantic spots with which the state abounds and with the assistance of an expert pho tographer from San Francisco has secured views of these places. Later these will be incorporated in a book. with interesting reading matter. and distributed an over the United States and even in Europe in an effort to induce immigration.
 Mir Barnes is considered one of the greatest authorities, if not the greatest, on the history scenery and present resources. of the state and the work of securing these photo. graphs. of which there are only 600. has been one Of great pleasure to him. The serch has led him to old abandoned forts. deserted Indian viii lages. petrihed forests, uninhabited mountains and desert wastes of strange and weird charm Many of the pictures have great historical value particularly in connection with the facts secured for the literary part of the book, which promises to be a valuable addition to the literature oi and about Arizona.
 Mir. Barnes will remain here today to boost the meeting of the Shriner, at the Grand Canyon next Monday and Tuesday, for which all the rail roads are offering reduced rates.
