THE BARRE DAILY TIMES, BARRE, TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1917. 6 BETHEL School District Votes Overwhelmingly to Buy Playground. One of the largest meetings on record in Whitcomb school district was held last evening when 117 voters came out in the rain to express their convictions on the important subject of buying a field suitable for a playground. Some doubt having been cast upon the legality of the vote at a smaller meeting several weeks ago the present meeting was called to remove any doubt. Senator A.

Lee Cady moved that the district buy one-half the fairground property at a cost not to exceed $2,000, W. J. Brooks seconded the motion and it prevailed almost unanimously. Under a lease covering a year about one-third of the proposed playground has been ploughed up and either planted or prepared for planting by school children having no home gardens. The proposed field will contain 10 or 11 acres, situated almost across the street from the school building and will be ample for playground and school gardening purposes through all the future.

Funeral services for Charles Poole were held Thursday afternoon at 2 oclock, May 24, at the home of his son, where he had made his home for the past nine years. His wife, Sarah K.

He had been a member of Ransom post, G.

A. for many years. The few surviving members were present at the service and escorted the body to the cemetery. Mr. Poole was always interested in the affairs of his home town, was a liberal giver to any good cause and had held the office of justice of the peace for several terms.

He was once a candidate for representative to the general assembly from the town of Orange, as a part of the farm and part of the house where he lived were in that town, so that he was a voter in Orange. He had also held the office of selectman in Topsham. The deceased is survived by two sons, E. C. of West Topsham and W.

This is half the number aimed at by the local campaign committee and if nuything like the same amount of effort is expended by the canvassers the rest of the week a total of considerably more than 300 new members seems sure to be realized.

No Experiment in, Maxwell Mechanism Some automobile makers bave run around after novelties like tbe bare, trying to add untried "improvements which operate better in advertising than on tbe car. But tbe Maxwell makers held fast to one model, and when some one made a big how-de-do about hit latest novelty, the Maxwell makers strengthened a pin, or simplified or improved a part of the Maxwell mechanism, or in other big and little ways developed, refined, perfected tbe one Maxwell model. So that, in the end, the Maxwell won by tbe tortoise method.

A noted Cincinnati chemist discovered a new ether compound and called it freezone, and it now can be had in tiny bottles as here shown lor a few cents from any drug store.

You simply apply a few drops of freezone upon a tender corn or painful callous, and instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callous so loose that you can just lift it off with the fingers. No pain, not a bit of soreness, either when applying freezone or afterwards, and it doesnt even irritate skin. Elard corns, soft corns or corns between the, toes, also toughened callouses just shrivel up and lift off so easy. It is wonderful! Seems magical. It works like a charm.

Genuine freezone has a yellow label. Dont accept any except with the yellow label. Adv. FRIDAY, JUNE 8TH Afternoon, 3 p. m.
