A boy over 14 and a girl over 1¢ may attend alone after 6 p. m.” ‘While the proprietors have no fault to find with the authorities in regard to the enforcement of¥the law, they feel that it puts a considerable burden upon them, which would be considera- Dbly lightened if parents would see that their children' only went at proper times. TOWN ELECTION TODAY. Substantial Vote Looked For—Uncer- tainty as to Result. The polls will be open tolay from 6 in the morning until 5 in the after-: noon at the old town hall on Church street in order that the voters of the town may register their ‘choice for the town officlale who will represent them this year. It is probable that the vote will be better than the average, as the ing considerablds of a campaign, and efforts will undoubtedly be made to offset their vote by getting all who are in favor of license to the polls. Confidence in the result of the elec~ tion seems to be felt in both the re- publican and democratic camps, al- though there has not been a great deal of work apparent on the surface, with - Danielson and Putnam the exception of the raee for town tax collector. All matters in the warning other than the election of the town officers will probably be postpoped until Sat- urday afternoon, to be ¥gfed upon in the adjourned town meeting.

Water Gets Good Recommendation. he report of the condition of the ty water received from the state chemist Saturday 18 as follows: “The water is rather highly colored, has an earthy odor and is slightly turbid. The mineral contents are low and the wa- ter is soft. The organic constituents are not high and the chlorine is some- what below the normal for the region. The number of bacteria is not too high and no suspicious organisms were found.” The water therefore appears to be safe for drinking purposes.

Veting Hours Today. The polls are to be opened in t town hall building this morning at § o'clock for the annual town election.

Much of last year's crop ,was sent abroad, but the war may injure that market this season, The. value of the crop rung into thousands of dollars. How to Vote Effectively. Voters ‘should remember. today that a “split” ticket should havé no cross- mark X in any circle over the heads of the columns. The X is used only in voting a straight ticket. Votes have been thrown out here in every elec- tion since the new ballot came irto use for improper markings. They should also remember that votes om the license question go into a separate ballot box—not in the one @n the town tickets. 7 K Return from England.

The school is in a pleasant location and seems te fill all the requirements of the village, which has been without a school owned by the town. The cost of the building and grading will be about 35,000, this not including the -furniture to be in- stalled. MANY VISIT BANK. Finely Equipped Quarters of Windham County National Bank Inspected.
