KEPT CHECK ON
DOCTORS VISITS
Mrs. Leclair Marked on Cal
endar When DR.. Prime
Called on Patient

The county court adjourned Thurs
day until Tuesday morning at
nine o'clock when the trial of the
divorce suit of Mrs. Ada Prime
against Dir. Merrill F. Prime of Bar
ton will be resumed.
Mrs. Isadore Corlis of Barton was
the first witness to be examined yes
terday. Mrs. Corlis was employed
by Dr.. Prime as an office assistant
from May until July Of 1918.
The witness testified that DR.. and
Mrs. Prime went to Boston to visit
Mrs. Primes sister and that the
doctor returned the Saturday before
July Is when Mrs. Prime came home
She said the doctor told her that he
was tired and was going upstairs and
lie down for while. He did this or
two different occasions before July
Is, she said. He told her, she said,
that if anyone called to tell them he
was out until three o'clock. She said
she had expressed a desire to go
home for a visit and that the doctor
told her on July 3 that she might go
home. She was gone until July 4,
she said. She testified that she did
MT know whether the doctor had any
lady visitors during her absence or
not. Mrs. Prime, she said, had been
very anxious that she remain at the
house while she was away.
Mrs. Della C. LeClair, who was a
neighbor of Mrs. Iona Bellanger at
Barton Summit, was the next wit
ness on the stand. She gave day and
dates of the doctors visits to Bel
langer home, She has dates up to
and including October IA, 1919.
Mrs. Leclair was able to give the
hour and exact time of the arrival
of DR.. Prime at Mrs. Bellanger's
home She described also how the
doctor came, whether in horse and
buggy or an automobile.
Mrs. Leclair testified that just be-
fore the arrival of DR.. Prime at the
Bellanger woman's home on each oc-
casion the curtains in Mrs. Bellan-
gers bedroom were drawn, and the
doors locked. She said that on one
occasion Mrs. Bellanger's little girl
could not get into the house.
She could remember dates, Mrs.
Leclair said, because she markell
them on the calendar. During tho

American Magazine Story
Gives Characters In Yer
mont Journalism
CONTINUED from yesterday

In my experience with many news
paper propositions, in every capacity
from carrier boy to toastmaster at
the Board of Trade banquet, it has
been brought home to me how very
similar all these country daiIies are
how every town has the same set OF
characters, who perpetuaIly duplicate
one another, and how very much
alike human nature is at heart, after
all. Can you pick yourself out IL any
of the following classifcations?
First let US consider the cranks, for
without them the country editors
profession might be bed of roses.
OF course the most pronounced
crank is the man or woman who, as
the office "devil'' puts it, has "gone
bugs" over some sort of social activl-
ty or propaganda. 1t may be pro-
hibition or local option or woman
suffrage; it may be politics; it may
be the ramifcations of the local
school board, OF it may be religion.
Now, strange as it may read, these
cranks are not lugubriously-frocked,
lantern jawed, sanctimonious folk of
the Cotton Mather breed, who wear
their hair long and roll their rs, as
the public might conceive them. As
a rule they are bright, abnormally
we'll read (at least in their chosen
idiosyncrasy), who are often leading
citizens and best advertisers, but who
have allowed their zeal and enthusi-
asm to run away with their sense OF
proportion.
They are usually high-strung and
quick tempered, prone to argument,
with positive knowledge that both
their time and the editors is valua-

ST. MARY'S CHURCH

A most enjoyable and successful
card party was given a few days ago
by the Children of Mary Society,
Newport. There was a large num-
ber present and everyone had a good
and every one had a good time.
A delicious lunch was served
during the evening. The mystery
cake, presided over by Miss Cecile
st. Germain created much curiosity
and added several dollars to the to-
tai. The amount turned in was $102
to be applied to the Jubilee fund. The
Jubilee fund is the balance of the
mortgage $27,000, which has been
taken care of by the members of the
parish taking four year pledges, COW
ering the full amount due on st.
Mary's Catholic church.

age of the Evening Caledonian

does so because he has some
thing worth selling and because
he has enterprise enough to let
the people know what he has.

to-date merchandise to sell than
the man who is content to wait
for the chance buyers to drop in
and patronize him. Don't let
the merchant who does not adj
tise make you believe his prices
are lower. They are not. It's
the merchant who turns over his
money half dozen times year
who can afford to advertise and
who can give you the biggest
bargain for the money. The man
who has his sales force loafing
half the time, who does not get
a rapid turnover of his goods, is
losing interest on his investment
and must get the top price for
his wares. Patronize our ad-
vertisers.

The Packard Motor Car Company
Resumes Production Of
Cars and Trucks

Packard responsibility for the service
the car gives is the best insurance car
owner can have. One reason this in
surance means SO much is the fact that
the Packard Company produces a
greater proportion of all the parts that
enter into its car than any other auto
mobile concern in America.
You cannot we'll have responsibility
without authority. And just TO the
extent that a maker depends on fac
tors outside of his control, must he
contend with varying standards of
quality and impair the authoritative
nature of his guarantee.
Packard Trucks for Immediate
Delivery
Packard truck production has been
continuous. The only change from
1905 war work is that formerly the
Government took practically the full
production, and now part of the pro-
duction is available for the public.
The Packard truck building organi
zation is the finest in the world. We
have kept it free from the demoraliza-
ton Of hasty processes and the over
strain of high-pressure production.
If anything, it has been strengthened
and improved during the war period,
andthe standards of material and work
manship even more rigidly maintained.
Ne7O Efficiency Test for
Packard Trucks
Another Packard truck efficiency test
is scheduled to start February LIST, 1919,
for the purpose of teaching truck own
ers and operators to reduce tranSporta-
ton cost and relieve freightcars to save
gasoline, to save time, to save repairs.
Prize money aggregating $4,000
has been provided. Prizes will not only
be given to drivers, but also to account
ants and shipping clerks, in order to
emphasize the fact that truck efficiency
is matter of the whole approach to-,
and treatment of, the transportation
question - the right truck, the right

size truck for your average load, the
way the truck is handled, and what you
have right to expect from its service.
Packard Aircraft for Commercial
or Passenger Purposes
Since hostilities ceased, business
America has not had time to Standard
ize its aircraft needs. The Packard
Company is not making a stock air
plane, but has department to execute
special orders, or to advise and figure
with transportation Companies, the
Government, or private individuals.
AS originators Of the motor from
which the Liberty Motor was made,
and as producers Of the most advanced
type Of airplanes for the Government,
the Packard Aircraft Engineering De-
partment may be said to be in position
Of first authority and to offer the most
complete and practical Experimentation
available for the development Of air
planes in this country.
The Packard Organization as
Transportation Specialists
Whether of passenger or freight, and
whether by highroad or air>route, this
whole question of transportation is
one we are treating with intensive
specialization.
What with problems Of reconstruc-
ton, the certain and enormous expan-
sion of business, the additional strain
on already overtaxed and inadequate
railroadS-with no immediate prospect
Of railway betterment-there is crying
need for special study and analysis of all
other factors and means Of service.
No subject before the business world
is of more vital importance. 1t is one
too often thought Of in the round, and
treated in vague, general terms.
As individual problems become more
specific and acute, it will be found of
practical help to discuss them with the
Packard Company. who probably pos
sesses more new data on transportation
than any other concern in America.
Arizona republican., 1919-01-15

Packard dealers and to thousands Of
waiting purchasers.
Events of the past year have done
more than any words of ours could do
to fix Packard ascendency in the minds
of the thinking men of the world.
The principle of the Packard Twelve
Cylinder Engine is established before
all men as the most advanced and prac-
teal development in modern motor
construction.
Arizona republican., 1919-01-15
Getting Back Into Production

When the Packard concern stopped
making passenger cars and went on
1909 war work, it had on hand finished
parts to the value of six million dollars,
These parts were all of the finest
material, finished in the careful pains
taking way of the Packard organization.
No compromise on quality, no slightest
lowering of standards owing to diff
culties in the material situation or the
speeding-up process.
Whatever the pressure or conditions,
this organization knows but one stand
ard of quality, and that is the best.
1t will be clear to all that the posses
sion of this stock of finished parts en-
ables us to resume production more
quickly and smoothly than otherwise
would be possible.
