DAVIS ACCEPTS
PRINCIPALSHIP
Principal of Wellesley, Mass
High School Will Come
To Academy

Joseph A. Davis, now principal of
the high school at Wellesley, Mass.
on friday telegraphed his acceptance
OF the position as principal of the st.
Johnsbury Academy, having obtained
a release from his engagement at
wellesley where he had been re-e1ect-l
ed for the ensuing year at an ad-
vanced salary. He was not an appIi-
cant for appointment here but, at the
request of members of the Boston
Association of the Academy Alumni,
came to st. Johnsbury last week to
meet the trustees and to look the sit
uaticn over. The trustees were unani-
nous in wishing to secure his services,
which has now been accomplished.
Mr.. Davis. received his degree of
A. B. at Bowdoin College and later
that OF A. M. from the University of
Pennsylvania. Before going to We'll
lesley. he was for three years princi-
pal of high school at West Chester,
Pa. One who knew of his work there
Writes:--
while at West Chester he showed
that he possesses the unusual COM
bination of qualities which enabled
him completely to reorganize the high
school course, raise the educational
standards and improve the morale of
the teaching force, last, but not least,
to convert a very ugly school spirit
into helpful and loyal one. He pos
sesses strong and pleasing person
ality. He stands well over six feet and
is every inch a man. I have known
him from early boyhood and was with
him in college,"
Rev. Carl M. Gates of Wellesley,
formerly of ST. Johnsbury, writes il
highest terms of Mr.. Davis standing
and efficiency and character as 3
teacher and factor in educational cir.
cles and, while regretting his depar-
ture from Wellesley, rejoices that St
Johnsbury Academy is to have 81
strong and able a principal.
Hon. Edwin A. Bayley, one of the
trustees of the Academy residing in
Boston, who has taken much interest
in the selection Of a new principal
writes:-
"He has nothing to mar his record
| which has been one Of steady prog
ress. He is a growing man and, as
such, a strong man for our principal
1 ship ,
/ Mr.. Davis is married and has on,
| child. Mrs Davis is highly accom-
plished young woman and will be a.
important factor in the social life o.
the community. Under the new ad
ministration the Academy is expecte'
to make even greater progress thai
heretofore and to extend more widc'
it's beneficial usefulness.
A large proportion of the othe
teachers now connected with the in
stitution are being re-engaged Il
further service.

Johnsbury, VS. the Passumpsic Teie-
phone Company. of this town, was
given into the hands of the jury yes

The case has occupied the week, be-
ginning Tuesday afternoon, and con-

telephone company. asked the court
to render a verdict for the defendant

ment begun. After q few moments
work it was noticed that but eleven
men occupied the jury box. It was
learned that George Gordan, of Sut-
ton, the twelfth man, was quarantined
at his home on account of the mea-
sles.
After some discussion counsel for
both sides agreed to continue the case
with eleven men, and court proceed
ed with that number in the box.
Judge Fish, after hearing argument
from counsel, charged the jury, ex-
planned the law in the case thorough
ly, putting the case in their hands at
$40 o'clock.
The next case on the docket is that
of Hattie M. Bancroft VS. A. H. Cote,
in suit for damages for injuries sus
| tanned in an accident.

Will Enforce Pure Food and Drug Act.

Deginnlng April 1, John H. Page, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, said that he will start a practical cooperation with the United States Department of Agricul- ture for the enforcement of the pure food and drug act The act was pass. ed in 1907 in Arkansas, in line with the government act, but no provision was made for it's enforcement.
 Mr Page said that he would use tie feed and fertilizer inspectors operat- ing under his bureau as ex-otficio ir- spectors for the act. They will CO., operate with The Bureau of Chemistry at Washington, and violators of the act will be prosecuted under federal laws. The act provides that labels on food and drug containers must state the contents, and the weight or meas ure, and specify that it contains no adulterant The sale of impure, un- wholesome or adulterated food or drugs, or short weight or measure in either is a violation.
 The feed and fertilizer inspectors will investigate all complaints made of food or drugs in Arkansas, and will also look into warnings against adulterations sent out from other states. MT Page said that Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health officer will CO., operate with the inspectors.
