Because of the prevalence OF dis
ease in the state and the consequent
prohibition of public meetings In
many counties, 1t seems advisable to
postpone the teachers examination
which was to be held on the Gath and
25th Of this month, until such date
as will be decided upon later by the
state superintendent. Notice OF this
date will be published in the official
county papers.-Alice Ripe. Coun-

The Macmillan Lecture.

South Paris was fortunate in having
the opportunity to hear Donald B. Mac
MILAN, the Arctic explorer, and that this
was appreciated was shown by the audi.
ence which packed the ball Thursday
evening.
Mr.. Macmillan has completed an en-
gagement with lecture bureau, and 10
now awaiting call In the aviation ser
vice. He was briefly introduced by Al
ton C. Wheeler, and after few intro
ductory remarks started at once into the
story Of the four years spent In the Arc
tic by the Croker Land Expedition, OF
" hich he was in charge. Lantern slides
showing the life of the party, the scenery
and the game of the Arctic, the Eskimos
of whom q little company of POI live
isolated In the frozen North, and know
nothing of the world-sll these rapidly
appeared on the screen. Mingled With
them were q number of runs Of moving
pictures taken on the expedition, show
ing the seas of ice through which their
vessel plougbed, and scenes showing the
doings of the party and their Eskimo
friends.
Any attempt to detail the substance OF
the lecture would be futile. Not only
were the slides very clear, but they were
eautifully colored and thus made more
realistic. For more than an hour and
half the audience sat entranced with
both the &C mes presented and the ad-
dress Of the speaker; and while some o.,
lowance must be made for the fact that
Mr.. Macmillan speaks with the enthusi'
asm of the born explorer, II Is doubtless
the fact that many Of bis hearers learned
of the Arctic a. not quite 20 horrible Z
region as they had previously supposed

DR.. Banks Speaks This Evening

During the past five years, more than
10000 national prohibition meetings
have been conducted by the Anti-Saloon
League of America, 10 q nation wide
cam paign for national constitutional pro-
hibition. Little did any one think when
this movement was launched In 1918.
that the goal of saloonless nation would
be reached in ten years, but half that
period has not yet gone by, and victory
seems certain. Fourteen states have
already ratified the amendment, and 1t 10
likely that within year il will be rsti-
fed by the necessary thirty-six.
In this campaign, one OF the most
prominent figures has been that of DR..
Louis Albert Banks Of Boston, the world
famed preacher, author and Chautauqua
lecturer. He is said to be the author OF
more volumes Of sermons than any other
man living to-day, and has served as
pastor in some of the largest cities OF
America.
DR.. Banks speaks at the South Paris
Baptist church this Monday evening, bis
annouu need subject being, "Uncle Sans
Pep in Winning the World-War."

Resolutions.


Whereas, The passing away of our
dear comrade, John r. Plummer, has
brought sadness to the hearts OF his
MANY friends and relatives, especially to
those of bis dear wife and daughter.
We bear willing testimony to his many
virtues, bis uuquestioned probity and
stainless life. All those having the
pleasure of his acquaintance held him In
yery high esteem. His untarnished
character was an honor to bis church,
to bis town a. q citizen, and to w. 4.
Kimball Post, G.. A. R., of which he was
a member. When quite young his
patriotic principles led him to enlist In
the u. 8. Army to fight for his country
in the civil war.
Resolved, That We, bis comrades, real
izine the ifreparsble loss to bis nearest
and dearest ones, extend to them our
sincere sympathy, and may they receive
consolation from the thought that theil
loved ono has arisen to life Of JOY and
peace, free from pain and sleepiess
nights. ettt FE
30. We WIN trust the power above
The treasures Of our hearts to keep;
He sivesh our beloved sleep"
Resolved, That copy Of these resolu'
