Since the annual village meeting the
village commissioners have learned that
under certain conditions W. A. Barber
of Greenfield, proprietor of the Elliot
street grain store, is willing to accept the
offer of $4,000 voted for the north Wa
tercure building and premises. These con-
ditions are that the village relieve Mr..
Barber of paying this years taxes. No
doubt this can be done, and in view of
the fact that the property is wanted for
public purposes it ought not to be diff
cult to have the taxes abated.
Mr. Barber paid the Odd Fellows So
800 for the property and offered to sell
to the village for $4,000, the village
ing to house the fire department and po-
ice headquarters, detention house and
Offices for village officers. At the annual
meeting it was voted to buy the property
f it could be obtained for $4,000.
The commissioners reelected Col. i.
". Gibson chairman of the board. They
have re-appointed Alfred Darling super
ntendent of the fire alarm
No definite action has been taken to-
ward filling the vacancy on the police
'orce caused BY the death of Policeman
Ellis g. Worden, and no appointment of
4 fire department chief has yet been
made Certain matters in connection
with the fire department are under in
vestigatiOn, but the commissioners de-
cline to say what they are at present.
They are understood to be matters not
affecting the fire chief, however.

RECONSTRUCTION

ITALIAN JOINS IN
ENGLAND'S PLEA
Allies Must Be Assured Money Loaned
viii Be Used for Reconstruction Work
Proposed Loan Would Amount to
SOC. 900 900 Francs Gold.

GENOA, May S ASSOCIATED Press).
Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great
Britain and Foreign Minister Schanzer
of Italy addressed today a strong appeal
to the Russian representatives at the
conference here, urging them TO accept
the allied memorandum in its main
points and promising Russia an interna-
tional loan with the understanding that
the lending country would thus provide
for the reconstruction of Russia.
The allies would claim the right to
make sure, however. that the money
loaned was actually invested in the work
of reconstruction. 1t was asserted that
altogether the proposed loan would
amount to 300,000,000 gold francs.
The Russian delegation had previously
issued a statement denouncing the efforts
it alleged France and Belgium had made
TO wreck the conference. The statement
called attention to the fact that these
powers which were predicting that Rus
sia's refusal to accept the memorandum
would break the conference up had they
themselves not signed the memorandum.

What This Buffalo Physician
Has Done For Humanity

The picture which appears here of
DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y, was taken
in 1910. AS young man DR.. Pierce
practised medicine in Pennsylvania
and was known far and wide for his
great success in alternating disease.
He early moved to Buffalo and put up
in ready to = use form, his Golden
Medical Discovery, the we'll known
tonic for the blood. This strength
builder is made from formula which
DIR. Pierce found most effective in
diseases of the blood. 1t contains no
alcohol and is an extract of native
roots with the ingredients plainly
stated on the wrapper. Good red
blood, vim, vigor and vitality are sure
to follow if you take this Alternative
Extract. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery clears away pimples and
annoying eruptions and tends to keep
the complexion fresh and clear. This
Discovery corrects the disordered con-
ditions in sick stomach, aids diges-
ton, acts as tonic and purifies the
blood. Write DR.. Pierce's Invalids
