FRANK BARKER.

Frank Barker died at his home, 4 Savoy
Road, Salem. Mass, on June 7th. Mr..
Barker was born in Montville, Maine,
May l, 1848, and spent his boyhood days
there. He enlisted in the Civil War Just
before the close, but was always much IN
terested in all who participated IN 1t and
was member of Post "a, G. A. r.. in
Salem. Many Of his warmest friends
were among it's members who conducted
the services at his home on June. 9Th.
About As years ago Mr.. Barker married
Miss Albertine Staples of Belfast, for
merly of Swanville, who survives him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barker were for several
years supervisor and matron of the Salem
almshouse. Later Mr.. Barker was con-
nected with firm in the hay, grain and
feed business, leaving that to take up the
business by himself and carrying it on
until the summer of 1917, when failing
health forced him to give up all business
He owned large farm in Appleton and
for many years has made that place his
summer home and was planning to come
there the present summer. When young
man he joined the Masons and later the
Odd Fellows. He was genial and pleas
ant man, making friends wherever he
went. His niece, Miss Inez L. Barker,
was called and went to him few days
before his death and with Mrs Rark or
accompanied the remains to Montville,
Maine, where services were held at the
home of his late brother, Horace P. Bar
ker, on June 10th and burial was made in
the family lot in the Plains Cemetery.
Beside his widow he leaves one nephew,
Frank E. Barker of Hamilton, Ohio, and
and two nieces, Mrs Charles l.. Atkinson
of Searsmont and Miss Inez L. Barker of
Montville, who deeply mourn the loss of
kind and affectionate uncle. The flu
neral in Montvilie was attended by many
old neighbors and friends in that locality
and from Appleton Rev E. A. Dinslow
read short service and Mrs. Carney
Shure sang two solos. The bearers were
Messrs. H. S. Mehuren, Charles B. Ring;
George Cooper and Alfred Crockett and
honorary bearers from Appleton were

John Proctor and Fred Grant. There
were great many beautiful flowers from
sympathizing friends.

WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer terribly with corns because of high
heels, but why care now

Women wear high heels which buckle
up their toes and they suffer terribly from
corns. Women then proceed to trim
these pests, seeking relief, but they hard
ly realize the terrible danger from infec-
ton, says Cincinnati authority
Corns can easily be lifted out with the
fingers if you will get from any drug
store quarter of an ounce of drug
called freezone. This is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from ones feet. You simply apply few
drops upon the tender, aching corn or
calIus. The soreness is relieved at once
and soon the entire corn or callus, root
and all, lifts out without one particle of
pain.
This freezone is a sticky substance,
which dries in moment. 1t Just shrivels
up the corn without intlaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
Tell your wife about this.

A FLAG WITH A STAR.

June was full of you last year, my boy,
Bobolink and oriole, and robin song and
Joy,
And your gay laugh and whstled tune
All! merry, merry month of June,
When every flower that lifted up
Its face from clover bloom to buttercup,
Was brighter, sweeter, as the face of you
Smiled back again, so bright and sweet
and true.
June is full of you this year, my dear,
When bobolink and oriole and robin song
are here.
l hear your laugh and merry whistled
tune
In every breeze that murmers through
the June
| smile upon the flowers as you would do,
Because they lift their faces, seeking you.
And distance is not vast-His mercy is
not far,
With bird song and flower bloom-and
flag with star

National Senate and House of Repre-
santatives Maine will vote in Septem-
Der and should send no Democrats to
Washington. This is not partisanship,
but plain common sense Maine Repub-
licans in Congress and Maine Repubil-
cans here at home have supported and
will continue to support the President IN
the conduct of the war, but the Demo-
cratic party has been politically active
for months with view of controlling
both houses of congress and there is no
reason why Republicans should be put to
sleep by lulabies sung by Mr.. Daniels
or any other Democratic official.

THE GERMAN METHOD.

German agents, in order to acquire
trade, secured large consignments of the
flimsiest hosiery which could be obtained,
had it marked 'Made in U. S A." and
sold it to the people in several OF the
South American States. After the
worthlessness of this hosiery had disgust
ed everybody who bought it, the afore-
said agents bought quantities of really
servicable hosiery in the United States,
marked it "Made in Germany" and cap
tured the market. Germany has prac-
ticed deceit so long that she believes dis
honesty to be the highest type of 'Kultur.
Many years will elapse before German
statement, pledge or treaty will be valued
at par by any nation on earth.

Government Takes Over Wool
Clip for Ensuing Year; Red Gross Needs
Come Second.

Clip for Ensuing Year; Red Gross Needs
Come Second.
Following the recent announcement
by the War Industries Board that the
government had taken over the entire
wool clip of the country for the ensuing
year, plans have been ann ounced for the
handling Of all available wool in order
that the immediate military needs of the
government be satisfied.
Stringent methods for the conserva-
ton of raw wool for military purposes
had become so necessary that confer
ence was called between repres entatives
of the Wool Commodities Section of the
War Industries Board and the American
Red Cross. At the close of this confer
ence the following joint statement was
authorized
at is obvious that the first allotment
of this wool must first 60 to the military
requirements of the government, and
that any surplus remaining will first be
used for filling the requirements of the
American Red Cross, as next in import
ance to the prosecution of the war.
'In view of the uncertainty in ocean
shipping, it can not be definitely known
at this time what amount of wool, if any,
will be available for Red Cross purposes,
after the original military needs of the
government are satisfied. 1t is believed,
however, that unless unforeseen condi-
lions arise, moderate quantity of wool
will be available for the Red Cross.
Furthermore, in view of the probable
scarcity of wool, it is earnestly desired
that the use of wool yarns for nom
essential purposes be discouraged in every
possible manner"
Red Cross Chapters can only procure
their yarn upon specific requisition
through their divisional headquarters.
To preclude the keeping of yarn at home
by individuals all wool must be account
ed for in finished garments after each
issue. This move will take all yarn in
the Army and Navy colors from the pub
lie market, so that not any can be pur-
chased and made up by individuals into
gifts. This will stop the overlapping of
efforts so that a-soldier or sailor receiving
garments from the Red Cross will not
also receive from one to a dozen duplicate
garments as personal gifts.

THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Somewhat Peculiar Distinctions That
Are Made by Inhabitants Of the
Emerald Island.

Ireland is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as of three distinct kinds or
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extent in the EN-
erald isle, but two centuries ago, and
even much later, they were defined
respectively as (one) the "half-mount-
3D." (twO) the gentleman every inch
Of him." and (three) the gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted of descend
ants of Cromwelrs soldiers, who, If
they could ride well, were called
"Buckskin Breeches," or "Squireens."
The second class was composed of
descendants Of old families whose es-
tates had been forfeited to the crown
(for rebellion or other reasOns), and
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for a living, in trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen to
the backbOne''-cOmprised the old
stock, or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor Of the
peasantry pertaining to their domains
