Thursday that large hole had been
made in large plate of glass in a
front window of his home three and
three fourths miles east of South
Park, evidently made by bullet which
had been fired from the road. A piece
Of the bullet was found lying on the

According to announcement made
by President w. w. Boyd, the Western
College for Women has just been
placed on the approved list of colleges,
by the Ohio State Commissioner of
Education. This ranks it with about
25 other leading colleges of the state,
which have been similarly recognized.
Graduates from these colleges, who
take a prescribed course, receive a
certificate to teach without further
examination, and after teaching the
prescribed length of time, those who
hold degrees from such college may
receive life certificates throughout the
state, without further examination.
Following this recognition of the
State of Ohio, word has been received
from Texas, that degrees of Western
College are now received there as
qualifications for teachers life certi-
ficates. Miss Pearl Ruihley of Arch
bold is graduate of this College and
Miss Fanny Kenyon is member of
the present senior class.

ITO this end have been preaching

sugar culture an agricultural expert

America Is the greatest sugar market

''The culture OF the beet brings into

The old soldier vote of the country
still clings to the republican party in
large part and will be more generally
united for the republican ticket next
wear than in 1912, according to a
statement given out by the National
Progressive union, based on a poll of
1000 veterans attending the G. A. R.
encampment here last week.
The poll shows that SIP of those
~canvassed voted for Taft in 1912, 419-
for Roosevelt and 26O for Wilson. Of
those who voted for Wilson, 88 said
that in SO doing they did not regard
themselves as democrats, explaining
that they voted the democratic ticket
either to defeat Roosevelt or as a
protest against the methods by which
the first Chicago convention renomin-

| declared their intention of returning
to the republican party next year
provided the party bosses do not try
to repeat the follies of 1912.

SHAW GETS GUN-MEN

Frank Dalk and John Lester were
arrested last Monday evening by
Sheriff Shaw for carrying concealed
weapons and taken to Malta where
they received a sentence of one humid
red days in the county Jail. The two
were standing in the Palace saloon
when Sheriff Shaw entered. He had
become suspicious of the pair earlier
in the evening and had had them
under surveillance for some time.
When attempting the arrest one of
them tried to pull a gun from his
pocket but was frustrated by tho
quick action of John Gillespie who
seized the gun before it could be
brought into play. Two guns of "A
calibre, a file and a small bottle of
nitro glycerine was found on the pair.
But for the prompt action of the
sheriff in arresting them it is safe to
say that some place or somebody in
Saco would have been held up on that
night as one of them had been heard
to say that they would get him that
night.-Saco Independent.
