Fred S. O'Connell, formerly collector
in the employ Of j. b. Kelly & Co, is at
his home on Maple avenue while recov.
ering from a severe injury received while
employed in Springfield few days ago.
Mr.. 0'Connell was assisting other work
men in unloading a consignment Of
shoddy from an auto truck when some
one unexpectedly loosened his grip, with
the result that a heavy bale of shoddy
came down on his arm. 1t was the left
arm and at the emergency hospital
surgeon found that the limb had been
fractured in three places. The injured
man tarried long enough to have the
fractures reduced and then started for
home, accompanied by fellow work
man, whom the company designated to
attend him on the trip. Mr., 0'Connell
does not expect to return to work for
several weeks.
To-day Barre's Liberty loan flag the
banner received by the city as the result
Of its oyersubscription in the Fighting
Fourth" was unfurled at city hall by
Chairman G. w. Melcher of the campaign
committee After a meeting of the com
mittee it was decided to fly the flag for
a few days before placing 1t in the AL
drich public library, where the third Lib
erty loan flag is kept. Because of the
quarantine, the committee decided not
to accompany the flag unfurling with
public exercises. The banner floats from
the balcony over the main entrance to
the city building. Returns received by
the committee give a fairly accurate re-
port of what Washington county, among
other counties, did in the campaign.
Barre is credited with S524,45O, an over
subscription Of nearly $l25000, while
Barre Towns quota Of S6s,500 is ex-
ceeded by 500. In both cases, however,
figures in the possession of the commit
tee which are still incomplete, indicate
larger oversubscriptions.

partment, the aldermanic health com

thorough canvass of every street and
