The employment of five district su-
perVisors of schools. or assistants TO
the superintendent in the direct over
seeing OF the work of approximately
$50 grade teachers of the Harrisburg
district. is considered one of the ne
cessities for maintaining efficiency of
public instruction. The plan is fol-
lowed in Altoona, Scranton, Pitts
burgh and a number of other towns.
Philadelphia has over fifty supervis-
ing principals. The system was advo-
Gated recently by the Bureau of Edu-
cation at Washington after an in
vestigation and study of how to get
efficient administration in small cities.
Harrisburg has employed five su-
pervisors since the beginning of the
present school term; for eight years
previous II had two. When DR.. f. z.
Downes took the office of superin-
tendent in 1905 he called the atten-
tion of the School Board to the made
quate provision for supervision in the
city schools and asked for three su-
pervisors. He was allowed two. After
the death of DIR. l.. s. Shimmel last
spring the subject was again brought
up and the school authorities voted
for five men.
Their Duties
The duties of the supervisors in
clude frequent visits to each school of
the district. with personal advice and
corrective criticism to the teacher in

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR.
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. His efforts to Danish ii
brought out these little olive-colored
tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does but have no bad
after effects. They. don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids.
II is best not to take calomel. but to
let DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets take its
place
Most headaches. "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and a disordered liver. Take DR. Ed
wards Olive Tablets when you feel
''loggy" and heavy" Note how they
clear" clouded brain and how they
"perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 25c

WILL IMPROVE THE
 WHITE RIVER ROAD
Railroad Company Will Spend Half Million in Improvements On This Line, It is Said.

It is announced by railroad officials that about $500,000 will be expended in repairs and improvements on the White River road within the next few months. It is said that about $150, ,000 will be spent in grad ing work. New and heavier steel will be laid where the present steel is not of sufficient weight to withstand the de- mands of the heavy traffic that is expected to be hand led overt his road. Commenc- ing at a point near Magness new and heavier steel will be laid to Batesville, this work now being we'll under way.
 While the high water dam age is responsible for some of the work now going on, the railroad probably will spend more than half a million dol lars on this division. The inn provements will be necessary to handle the heavy traffic in- cident to the development of the White river valley.

Noah Harris Candi-
 date For Sheriff

Noah Harris, of Oil Trough, one of the eounty's best known citizens, announces in today's paper as a candidate forsheriff.
 MT. Harris has been a citi- zen of this county for a num- Der of years and has always acquitted himself in such a manner as to hold the confi- dence and esteem of all who know him.
 He has been a successful far mer of the Oil Trough section for several years and has serV- ed as constable and deputy sheriff for his townhip, in which positions his official conduct was such as to merit the high est commendation.
 MT. Harris made the race for sheriff two years ago and although that was his first race for a county office, he made a splendid showing and was beaten by only a fewv votes.
 He is we'll qualified for the position he seeks and his past conduct while in office affords ample proof that if elected he will discharge the duties of the office in a faithful and efficient manner.
 He expects to make close personal canvass of the coun- ty and will see every voter in the county between now and the date of the Democratic primary.

NOVEL PROCEDURE
 IN CIRCUIT COURT
Judge Coleman Sentences Man
 to Pen and Ten Minutes La terPresents Him WithPardon

Newport Sept. .21.-Ten min utes after he was sentenced to three months imprisonment in the penitentiary for involun- tary manslaughter, w. c. Me Dougal, former policeman,w was a free man. A pardon was granted him Monday by Gov. Hays, effective at noon today. Sentence was passed by Cir cult Judge Coleman at 11:50 this morning. Immediately af- terWard the judge presented McDougal with the pardon.
 McDougal was a policeman here. On May 10, 1914, he shot and killed Will Langston whom he had arrested for vio- lation of a city ordinance. l is said that when McDougal was placing Langston in jail the latter attacked him and ran. The officer fired, he said, to frighten Langston, without intending to hit him. The bullet struck Langston in the back and killed him. McDougal is 75 and a Confederate veteran.
 Imediately after his convic- ton, several days ago, McDou- gal circulated a petition for pardon, which was signed by almost every business and pro- fessional man in the city and by many farmers. The United Daughters of the Confectionery circulated similar petitions and obtained the signatures of sev- eral hundred women. The pe- titions were presented to the governor Monday by M. M. Stuckey and McDougal.
 The granting of the pardon to McDougal was not announc- ed from the office of the gov ernor until noon yesterday.

Little Rock Brokerage Firm Buys Seasons Pack Consist ing of Several Cars.

Secretary w. A. Isgrig of the Newark Canning Company closed deal Tuesday for the sale of the entire stock of to- matoes put up by the company this season.
 Bosley and Johnson, brokers and commission agents, of Lit tie Rock, are the purchasers.
 The Newark Canning Co.,. has put up several carloads of high grade tomatoes this sea- son. However, the seasons out put will be much lighter than was anticipated, as a number of farmers who contracted to grow tomatoes became dis couraged last spring and failed to plant tomatoes and a few plowed them up after planting. The canning factory, being a new industry for this communi- ty, few of the pessimistic ones seemed to take a special pride last spring in pointing out why it would be unprofit- able to grow tomatoes and why
  the factory would not be built, and why it would be failure if it should be built, and vari- ous other why's and wherefores that are usually handed out by people who seem to delight Tn knocking. This had a discour aging effect upon many farm CTS who would have grown to- matoes, and the acreage was only about one-half what the canning company expected to secure.
 The recent flood destroyed considerable acreage of toma- toes on the low lands and the heavy rains damaged the crops on the uplands, resulting in a heavy loss.
 As result of these hindran- ces, the seasons output of to-
