Encourage the young people, who
are interested in church and social
work. They need the advice and as
sistance Of those, who are older and
more experienced. Instead of such
being the case; it is often that rivalry
and agitation results, when the young
people make . better showing than
the older element.

KING DISTRICT.
Schools Are Open Again.

The schools opened Monday of last
week after the longest summer vacation
the young people have had in many
years. They improved it we'll and are
now back at their desks making just as
good use of their school time.
The South Paris High School has sew.
euty pupils and the West Paris High
School has thirty. There are 81 pupils
in the grades in this village. In the
Shurtleff school there are sc, in the
Brick 1S1, Porter Street AZ, and in the
Pleasant Street %, In the West Paris
grades there are 9S pupils. At North
Paris there are So. The rural schools
has total of 1874, divided up among
eleven districts. This makes total
number of pupils in the town of 67S,
100 in the High Schools and the balance
in the grades.
Superintendent Joy has succeeded in
visiting all the schools once during the
past week. He reports that the teachers
and pupils are taking hold spleudidly
and feels that this will be banner year
with the schools of our town.
Every encouragement and show Of in
terest should be given by the parents OF
our school children, and others too, right
from the start of the school year. II
will keep the youngsters more interested
in their work and be of benefit to them.
The teachers would be glad to meet the
parents and hope for occasional visits
from them. 1t may do much good fol
both parents and teachers to talk over
the school conditions.
Superintendent Joy is hoping to gel
the 4th grade here in the village located
in the Brick building soon, If not this
week. That will make that grade more
centrally located since it is the only 4tt
grade in the village.

HON. JOHN A. ROBERTS ANNOUNCES HIS
CANDIDACY FOR THE OFFICE.

In announcing his candidacy for the
office of Commissioner OF Agriculture,
Hon. John A. Roberts of Norway says:
had the honor of being chosen Com
missioner by the legislature of 1913 IA.
Immediately / took measures to
strengthen and make more efficient, the
work then in progress. During my term,
through action of the legislature, several
new bureaus were created and put into
operation, all proving beneficial to the
farming industry. However, this work
could not be carried to completion, be-.
cause of the political change in the ad-
ministration in 1915.
| have reason to believe my manage
ment of the department was acceptable
TO the farmers of the state. am now re-
spectfully asking the Republican men,
bers of the next legislature to give me
the opportunity to renew and carry for
ward to greater measure of completion,
the plans formulated and entered upon
during my term.
This position demands a wide knowl-
edge of the farm interests of the state,
an extensive acquaintance with farmers
and farm organizations, a loyalty to the
cause that will lead it's occupant to rise
above personal feeling and private inter
ests and cooperate with all agricultural
agencies at work for the advancement OF
the basic industry of the state of Maine.
Should 1 be reelected, promise all
nv time shall be devoted to the work OF
the Office.

OrlaIn of the Grocer.

The modern grocery store is very
vel. known. The origin Of its name Is
not so we'll known. Several centuries
ago arose in England and France a
class Of thrifty and foresighted trades
men who went about buying up bar
gain lots of every conceivable kind of
merchandise, just as the modern Ameri-
can buys fire damaged goods and bank
rupt stocks. The Frenchman bought
zen gros" and the Englishman came to
be called an "engrosser." He might
handle hardware, thread, dried vege-
tables or anything else that could be
obtained in large lots, and he began
to call himself a grocer" at time
when our sort of grocer was termed a
"spicer." From that beginning comes
the name grocer as we know 1t today.
