Old Plate Batteries

Do not use new B battery with
several old ones, as the new battery
will deteriorate very rapidly. Do not
purchase cheap B batteries, but rather
buy those of recognized standard.
Cheap B batteries last but short
time and become noisy very quickly.

EX-GOV. MILLIKEN
CONTINUED from Page One)

liken will come as surprise to the
majority of the people of Maine. for
the collector that is to be has never
been an active candidate for the posi-
tion and has never been mentioned
among the various possibilities that
have been suggested. Nevertheless 1t
is true that no selection could have
been made that will be more generally
acceptable to the Republican party in
Maine, both among the rank and file as
we'll as the leaders.
There has been a feeling that the
next collector of the port should be
man who is in active sympathy with
the prohibitory law and this require
ment Mr.. Milliken meets in full meas
ure. He has always been an active
prohibitionist and when he was gov
ernor did everything possible for the
rigid enforcement of the law.
Carl E. Milliken was elected gov
ernor of Maine first in 1916 and again
in 1918, serving the customary two
terms which the people of Maine are
wont to accord their chief executives.
Previous to being chosen governor,
Mr.. Milliken had a wide legislative ex-
perience. having been elected a men,
Der of the House without opposition in
1895. At that time he was 81 years
| of the Legislature of that year. He
| served three terms in the House and
| two in the Senate and was president of
| the latter body the year previous to his
being chosen governor.
AS member of the Legislatures of
| 1897, 1909 and 1911, he served on the
educational committee. He aided in
drafting laws providing for State aid
| for superintendent of school unions,
for standardization of free high
! schools, State aid for children in unor-
ganiZed townships, creation of an
| equalization fund in aid of poor towns,
and to create a fund in aid of indus
| trial education. For three sessions he
advocated the State certification of
| teachers and in 1913 helped to secure
it's enactment. The same year he aided
in preparing the teachers pension bill
and securing it's passage. In 1909 he
| opposed the bill providing for distribu-
tion Of part of the State school fund
on valuation basis. He presented the
| first bill to distribute this fund on
basis of attendance. the principle now
advocated by the State Grange. In
1911 he was chairman of the joint spe-
cial committee to investigate this prop
osition. This committee unanimously
favored the attendance plan.
