Teachers Meeting.

At meeting of the teachers of
Obion County last Saturday, the sub
ject of promoting pupils from the
eighth grade to the high school was
the chief point discussed. The opin-
ion of practically all Of the teachers
was that the pupils of the eighth
grade be promoted by examination
given next spring. These examina-
tions will be uniform and all given
on the same days at the high school
nearest the pupil. The teachers of
the different schools where there are
eighth grade pupils will be expected
to accompany their pupils to these
places of examination and give them
encouragement. The subjects in
which the pupils will be examined
are: Spelling, reading, writing,
arithmetic, grammar, geography, u.
S. history. Satisfactory evidence
must be given that the pupils have
had the physiology of the sixth grade
and also the Tennessee history.
Another point discussed and de-
cided upon was that pupils cannot
go from one grade in the high school
to another without the certificate of
promotion of his previous teacher or
else take examination at the begin
ming of school.
Teachers present: Elsie Woodfin,
Bera Jones, Gladys Hubbs, Mrs. Beth
Sutherland, Minnie Dale Burrus.

nard were appointed by the mayor to attend a conference with the selectmen of the town of Windham in regard to the possibility of securing an option on some woodland near the city limits from which wood may be cut and hauled and stored for distribution in this city. This was preceded by a resolution allowing the mayor to do so.
 It was ordained that hereafter, men desiring to become members of the fire department should hand their ap- p!ications to the different captains, or lieutenants in the absence of the for mer, according to the company which they desire to join. and he should in- vestigate and give the application to the fire chief.
 The matter of the sewer on Walnut street was then taken up. Attorney Thomas J. Kelley. who was acting as corporation counsel in the absence and sickness of the new corporation coun- sel, gave some vital facts about the sewer on that street. It seems that the corner of Summit and Walnut streets is the highest part of the city of Willimantic, and to build sewer there would cost great deal, and the other sewers are not built right to dis pose of the sewerage around the high place.
 The meeting after the discussion on the Walnut street sewer adjourned.

The military entertainment council appointed by the secretary of war has planned 8 Smileage Book Cam paign to provide for the entertain ment at the training camps. This campaign is planned for the week be- ginning January 28. The responsible ity placed upon the council is to CO., ordinate the activities of all orgaI1i- cations engaged in furnishing profes- sional entertainment for soldiers and sailors in cantonments and encamp- ments. One million dollars will be required to finance the work of coor- dination and the operation of the Lib erty tents, Liberty theatres and au- ditoriums already erected and being provided where soldiers and sailors will be stationed.

 Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of
 the Commission on Training Camp Activities, says: Tn this war we are driving vicious agencies out of busi- ness and setting up clean entertain n1ent in their place. This has a di-
 rect bearing upon the health of our army and is an absolute necessity in maintaining the morale of our men, Dr. G. H. Jennings has been ap- pointed campaign director for this town. The amount asked is five pel cent. of the population. which would be $250.

LADY PINK TOES HAS HER INNINGS
 There is no excuse today for women to have ugly, painful corns

For few cents you can get a quar- ter ounce of the magic drug freezone recently discovered by a Cincinnati chemist
 Apply few drops of this freezone upon tender, aching corn or callus and instantly. yes. immediately, all soreness disappears and shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you lift it out. root and all, with the fingers.
 Just think! Not one bit of pain be- fore applying freezone or afterwards. It doesn't even irritate the surround ing skin.
 Hard corns. soft corns or corns be- tween the toes, also hardened calluses on bottom of feet, just seem to shrivel up and fall off without hurting par ticle. It is almost magical.
