The county judges and boards

The county judges and boards
of supervisors of twenty-seven
counties have been cited to ap-
pear before the State Tax Com
mission to show cause why the
counties should not be reassessed
by the commission because Of
failure of the boards of supervis-
ors to meet increases in assess
ments ordered by the commits
sion. Included in the list were
thirteen counties which have in
dicated that they would meet the
boards requirements, and which
Chairman Wells said would mere
ly be required to show that the
commissions order had been
complied with. Among the coun-
ties cited were: Adair, Bourbon,
Boyle, Clark, Clinton, Harrison,
Henderson, Knott, Madison, Nc.
Cracker, Mercer, Nicholas,
Powell and Scott. These coun-
ties have not indicated that they
would comply with the boards
orders. Counties which have in
dicated that they would comply
are: Henderson, Barren, Cal
loway, Crittenden, Franklin,
Woodtord, Larue, Livingston,
Marshall, Nelson, Oldham, Spen-
Ger and Warren.

mand that the Democratic State

PRIMARY

The editorial in the Louisville
Post Of Saturday agrees in part
with what we said last week rel
ative to nominating the State
ticket in a primary, but the Post
says:
''It seems to be the belief
among party men and women at
this writing that inssmuch as the
Compulsory Primary Law has
been amended to the point of
permitting the nomination Of
State officers at Convention,
that a primary will be held to
nominate candidates for Cover
nor and Lieutenant Governor,
and that the other nominations
be made at a State Convention. !"
The Post does not give the
names of the party men and
women" who have advocated
that only a part of the State
Ticket be nominated in a pri-
mary. The Post cites the nom-
ination of Governor Black in a
primary and his defeat in the
final election, as evidence in sup
port of the Convention. AS be-
tween the candidates, Governor
Black would have won the nomi-
nation in a convention as easily
as he did in a primary, and the
result of the final election would
have been the same, because the
tide was against the Democrats
in 1920. If in Convention poll
ticians, by tactics well-knoWn to
the Convention system, had NOM
mated some person other than
Judge Carroll or Governor Black,
the only announced candidates
for Governor, is it not reasonable
to suppose that the people would
have resented such tactics in the
final election? 1t was not the
mode of making the nomination
that brought about the defeat,
because Judge Carroll and all his
friends agreed that the primary
was absolutely fair.
The Post might have offered
further evidence in support of its
argument. We recall that Judge
W. S. Hager was nominated for
Governor, in a primary, and that
+, he was defeated in the final elec-
ton; that Senator Beckham was
three times nominated United
States Senator in the primary,
and the first time he was defeat.

last time in the final election. The

OUR SCHOOLS.

The Lindsey Wilson will close
this week one of the most sue
cessful school years since it start
ed about eighteen years ago. The
school has been full during the
whole of the term and there has
been no interruption on account
of epidemics, healthful surround
ings and the students all agile and
and robust. There are nine in the
graduating class this year, and
those who finish have worked
hard for their diplomas. They
will leave the school ready for
business. Their familiar faces
will be missed, and in school, as
well as everything else there
comes a time for parting. AS
they go out to mingle with the
affairs of the world, they will
constantly be reminded of the
happy days spent on the Lindsey
Wilson hill. Before the opening
of the fall term considerable i'm
provements will be made and a
new brick gymnasium will be
erected. A movement is on foot
to turn Lindsey Wilson into a
Junior College, after next year.
To do this it will require quite an
outlay of money and more teach
ers. We hope to see the next
term open with flattering pros
poets. Prof. Bennett and his
corps of teachers have been ex-
ceedingly busy during the past
year, but the call of teaching
young men and young women
has stimulated to do their whole
duty.
The Graded and High School,
under Prof. Prather with a num-
ber of competent instructors, will
also close a successful year. and
its work has not interferred with
the Lindsey. Both schools have
moved along harmoniously, the
best of feeling prevailing.
There are six graduates from
this school, and their examina.
tions showed that they had been
studious, all meriting the diplo.
mas awarded them. The faculty
for next year will be about the
same as the year closing. Prof.
Pratt is a popular instructor

PUTNAM EvENs SCORE
High School Boys Wallop killingly
 For Second Time on Friday

Putnam High has evened accounts with Killingly for the two defeats in basket ball this past winter, by wal loping the Danielson school boys twice in baseball this spring. The first re- venge came at Danielson May g.. by the score of f4-7, and the other vic tory was hung up by the locals in the contest at Putnam, Friday, by an ls- 1 score.
 Putnam brought in tallies in every inning but one, and was never threat ened by its ancient rivals. Nelson pitched his usual air-tight game for the home team and received very good support from his team mates. Blake ly and Williams did the mound work for the visitors, and both were hit freely by the Putnam batters. Nelson was credited with l5 strikeouts and Blakely and Williams each famed but one r. II. s. batter. The local school nine connected for a total of II bin- gles to the five safeties of the visiting team.

NORWICH COLONIALS
 HANDILY REVERSED
Nightinsale-Morse Outfit Vic tor 10 to 4 In Six Inning
 Game

Whatever dreams the Colonials of Norwich may have entertained of bringing home the seaips of the Night. ingale- Morse team were rather rudely shattered on Sunday last.
 For the first two innings the game was fairly interesting, the score at tho end of the second inning being 1 to 3 in favor of the Colonials In their half of the third. the Nightingales came to bat determined to forge ahead. They had scored two runs, which placed them in the lead. when a veritable deluge of rain descended. drenching the players and forming a miniature lake about the home plate. On the resumption of hestilitles. the locals scored another run. making it 6 to 1 in their favor. From this point on to the end, the Colonials could do practically nothing with DeForest's delivery, whereas the Putnam boys. by savage hitting in the sixth, ran their total up to 10 runs. This inning proved to be the ending of the game, as fresh series of showers broke loose.
 The 1T. II. Earley'sh of Providence. victors over the Fort Rodman team and the Powhatans, champions of the Providence Amateur league. are com ing to Putnam next Sunday They feel certain of pinning the first defeat on the Nightingales, claiming that their star pitcher is almost invineible

CANTATA PLEASES
 LARGE AUDIENCE
Vocalists Assist at Sacred Concert Here Sum
 day Evening
Chorus of Nearly Fifty Adults Aug
 mented by Junior Choir

An audience that filled the Second Congregational church, Putnam. thor oughly enjoyed the rendition of the eantata, "The Holy City" by a chorus of nearly 90 local and Worcester vo- calists last Sunday evening. The beau tiful score of A R. Gaul's most popu- lar cantata was given with unusual ex- eellence by the large group of singers of Putnam churches, supported by about ten vocalists from Worcester.
 At the organ was Frederick Bailey of the Piedmont church, Worcester. who directed the rehearsals, and pre- siding at the piano was Mrs. Nelson Lown. Effectiveness was given the sacred musical entertainment by the introduction, in two numbers. of short selections by the junior choir, which occupied seats at the rear of the gull lery. Miss Gertrude Warner was ac- eompanist for the junior choir, com posed of girls.
 The solos were rendered by the Worcester voealists with the exception of two, those who sang these being Miss Lucy Ellis. soprano, and Wallace Smith, bass. The work of all the soloists found high favor with the large congregation and they, as well as the chorus and particularly Ms. Bailey the director. were warmly con- graduated on the success of the ditii- cult musical entertainment.
 The quartet from Worcester com prised Miss Blanche Goodwin, so- prano: Miss Mabel Foster. contralto Roland Partridge, tenor; Fred l.. Eos berg, bass.

NELSON SAVES DAY
 FOR PUTNAM HIGH

With the score standing 9-6, against Putnam, in the seventh inning two out and three men on bases. Capt. Rip" Nelson, regular pitcher of the local high school nine, came through with home run clout and gave the 10. cals a one-run lead, which they held through the remaining innings. in the contest with Plainfeld High at Plain field. Tuesday.
 This same Plainfield nine was treated to no-hit, no-run shut out, t6-0. on q visit to Putnam earlier in the season. The local school boys put up much superior brand of baseball Tuesday than the Plainfeld team was able to show. and the majority of the losers runs were made on passes by Bill Mccoy, Putnam's new right-hand- CT. who pitched strong game but re- eeived very poor decisions from the umpire. Mccoy received good sup port from his team mates, and after the lucky seventh. Nelson was put in the box to hold the one-run lead ac- quired by his own timely circuit wal lop. besides three-bagger and two singles. out of five trips to the bat.
 Putnam collected hits to the sew en of the Moosup nine, and made but one error to the nine of it's opponents. Mccoy famed eight opposing batters in six innings, and Nelson struck out two in three frames. Shumway retir- ed nine Putnam batters, and would have been much more effective had he received better support from his in field.

East Killingly Couple Appears In
 Divorce Action

A short calendar session and as signment of cases for the Windham Superior court was held in Williman- tie Friday forenoon, with Judge Chris topher L. Avery on the bench. The session opened at l0.10 o'clock. Only one of the six cases on the short cal- endar was heard, the others being continued by the attorneys interested.
 The uneontested divorce case of Bridget Green vs. John W. Green was partly heard The plaintiff claim ed residence at East Killingly and sought divorce on the grounds of cruelty. She has been married to the defendant for over 20 years, but had not lived with him for long time ow- ing to his drinking habits and his abuse of her. The witness said that she had her husband sent to the coun- ~ jail for assaulting her. Judge Green continued the case for one week until the court received authen- tic information that the husband of the defendant was sentenced to jail as she testified Mrs. Green had no witnesses.

Ashford Case Heard

The ease of Marie Petriak vs. An- ton Lisalek and Marie Lisalek, of foreclosure on property in the town of Ashford was the next to come up. The case had been pending some time, owing to the fact that the de- fendants could not be located. Mrs. petriak testified that the property. which consisted of 45 acres of land, a house and barn, was sold by her in 19f2 to the plaintiffs for $500. Three hundred dollars was paid down and the balance taken on notes of Sl00 a year starting from time when the final payment was due in 1920, with but few payments made. About that time the barn was destroyed by fire, and shortly after. the Lisalek family left the place. The foreclosure action was then begun. Two other witnesses were heard for the plaintiff.
 Judge Avery gave decision for the plaintiff to recover s429, the amount considered what the land would bring, but the decision not to take ef feet until 3f days from date, this ex tension allowing time for the defen- dants to appear if they see fit or can be notified of the decision of the court.
