“Only ‘Gets-I’ for Me After This!” It “Gets” Every Corn Every Time. . Painless. Nothing More Simple. “Tll tell you what, I've quit using toe-eating salvés for corns, I've quit making a package out of my toes with bandages and mu—ngu\mp—qu!t dig- ging with knives an@l, scissors. Give me ‘GETS-IT’ every time!™ When You Ses o fo End Your Corms. These Pretty Girls in Ye s o Good Time That’'s what they all say the very first time they use “GETS-IT.” It's because “GETS-IT” is so simple and easy to use—put it on in a few sec- onds—because there is no work or corn-fooling to do, no pain that shoots up to your heart. It gets your corns off your mind. All the time it's ‘working—and then, that little old corn peels right off, leaves the clean, corn- free skin underneath—and your corn is gone!

I find Rheuma We Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Clark, who have lived happily together in the Seaside farm, Pleasant View e. Among those present will be their four sons, and daughter, and their families. 4 B. Frank Clark, as he is best known to his Westerly lends, is the grand- son of Luke Clark, who cultivated a farm and operated a saw mill in the town of Richmond, Washington coun- . his marriage with Sarah Tefft, were born ten children, Sally, Luke, John T. Mary Ruth, Luenda, Bliza- beth, Joshua Reynolds and Harriet. John T. Clark was born in Rich- mond, R. I, in 1810, and died in July, 1845, in Westerly, where he resided during the latter part of his life. He married Susan D. Bentley, daughter of Benjamin P. Bentley of Westerly. Their only child, B. Franklin Clark, who was married sixty years ago to- day, was born Sept. 16, 1833, in West- erly. He was left fatjeriess when lit- tle more than six years of age and, with his mother, sought a home under the roof of the maternal gran er on the farm in Pieasant View road, which is now his property and present residence. 3 Such advantages as the neighbor- ing schools afforded the lad eagerly sought, and finding the demands of the farm more imperative than any personal consideration he soon as- sumed the routine of labor. He dis- played so much aptness and judgment in his daily duties that at the age of 14 its management was largely rele- gated to him. In his 19th year, on the 15th of De- cember, 1856, B. Franklin Clark mar- ried Emily F., daughter of Stephen S. Kenyon, at Hopkinton, Rev. Daniel C. Coon, pastor of the Seventh Day Bap- tist church, performing the ceremony. Their children are: Albert F. Joshua F., Susan E. (Mrs. Gurdon Hiscox), John S, and E. Howard Clark. The sons ‘e married as follows: Albert F. and Annie L. Langworthy, of Hop- kinton; John P. and Mabel V. Lan- phear, of Westerly; John E. and Har- riet M. Langworthy: B. Howard and Harriet Brooks, of Westerly. B.-Frank Clark, upon his marriage, leased the farm, with his mother, for e period of three years, and, at the end of that time, assumed the sole management of the property, which, in 1869, became his by inheritance from his grandfather. Since that time new buildings have been erected, the land enriched and the estate, which bears in its improved condition evidence of the thrift at its head, much enhariced in valus. Mr. Clark is a republican. He has served his native town of Westerly with fi- delity as assessor, but has held no other office, his time being engaged with the successful management of his private business. Mr. and Mrs. Clark and family ad- here strictly and consclentiously to :‘ha faith of the Seventh Day Bap- sts. Mrs. Emily F. Clark was born in Hopkinton, R. 1, May 23, 1837. Clark had six brothers and a sister: George, Joel, Thomas. and Maxson Kenyon, .of Westerly; .Willlam _and. Alonzo Kenyon, of Hopkinton: and Sa. rah A. Wilcox, of Westerly. Her fa- ther attained the age of 94, and her mother 84 years. Eoth Mr. and Mrs. Clark are unus- lly active for their age, and both were in the village of Westerly, on hursday dfternoon, engaged in shop- ping and visiting, and preparing for the reception of their relatives and triends today. At the thirtieth \annual session of the Rhode Island State Grange, held Thursday, in Providence, the hiz of Uving was the principal subject of discussion. Master James A. Peck- ham of Newport said that in many cases the consumers paid less for food than it actually cost to produce. ‘He hinted that the middiemen were responsible for the prohibitive prices, and he urged that cheaper means of getting the produce from the pro- ducer to the consymer be found. He suggested that groups of farmers get ual trips to the trade centres by secur- Ing a common agghcy to dispese of their goods. 4 Judge Francis N. Thayer, of Blacl stone, Mass., in speaking on Good Cit zenship, said he believed that a good citizen should be a family man, and that “the time is surely coming when women are going to assume full du- ties as citizens of this great country of ours.” Addresses were also made by A. B. Jesnes, of the federal department of markets and marketing, and Sayles E. Steere, the state lecturer. The report of State Master Joseph A. Peckham, annual address and the reports of masters of Pomona and subordinate granges' were received. Master Peckham in his address asked members of the grange to support na- tional prohibition. He said that the hope of keeping the boys on the farm lies in better working hours and more pay for labor here. He declared the pay for farm work is only from one- third to one-half what is received by workers in other lines of industry. Mrs. C. Palmer Chapman was ap- pointed chairman of women’s work, and C. Palmer Chapman, of Westerly, chairman of committee on resolutions. At the annual mesting of the Rhode Island Tax Officials’ Association, held in Providence, President Everett A. Kingsley, of Westerly, who has been in Figh street has been painted and impreved. George Ashbey, John Kelly end Moses Wilbur have had their houses wired for electric lights.

Addresses were made by Stoughton Bell of Cambridge, chairman of the committee on the study of real estate assessments, by Morris C. Webster, state comptroller of Connecticut, who spoke on Town Relations, and Zenas W. Bliss, chair- man of the Rhode Island State Tax Commission, who explained the work- ings of the inheritance tax law and its relation to the duties of probate clerks. By reason of reassignment, Judge Chester W. Barrows, was enabled to resume the session of the superior court for 'Washington county at West- erly, Wednesday, and announced that one casp would be heard, and that then adjournment would be taken to.next Monday, and effort made to clear the docket during the week. The case called for trial was Chfirles A. Wilcox, a wholesale poultry dealer of Beston, against George F. Brough- ton, of Westerly, marketman, doing business here for nearly eighteen veary, and was in regard to a disputed ac- count in the charge for 244 pounds of turkey, for which Wilcox claimed 31 cents a pound, while Broughton claim- ed. the agreed price was 27 cents, a difference with interest on the total a- count, representing three sales 4 $178.60, with a claimed balance due of $147.60° with interest. The actual amount in dispute being $9.76. The jury selected to try the case 'was composed of Walter Hayward. Walter 8. Griffith, A. S. Wightman, Edward 'W. Early, of North Kingston Henry Slocum of Sonth Kingston: Al- nder G. Tavlor, George W. Norman, James B. Kidde!l of Westerly: Dani K. Hoxie. John Rye, of Hopkinton; Charles 7. Plympton of Charlestown and ¥lisha H. Browning of Narragan- sett. Atorney Agard, counsel for plainiffr, explained to the jury that the suit to be trieq was for a bill. known as a book account plaintiff through a traveling salesman, named Crocker, had sold to Mr. Broughton, last No- three lots -of turkeys, billed in for $175.60, and of that amount $14760, remained wun- paid;” and that amonuat with interest was claimed hy plaintiff. Charles Church, bookkeeper for the Boston firm testified as to the correc ness of the accocunt, and Joseph L. Crocker, the salesman testified as to the sales. He stated that the bill in dispute was over a lot of turkeys bought for the Christmas trade. In making the sale. he quoted the poul- try price as 27 cents a pound and gave oninion that there would probably be no change in that price, but did not sell the turkeys at an agreed price, but rather at the market price at the time of chipment which was 31 cents a pound. ~ M oughton in his testimony ad- mittes at he owed the plaintiff bill, b@# not the amount of the bil that partial payment was made Avgust and suit brought in Septem- ber. He testified that he agreed fa buy a shipment of turkeys from Mr. Crocker and that the price decided up- on was 27 cents a pound for the Christmas sale and that subsequently the bill came with the charge of 31 cents a pound. He had also made a previous special purchase, and also for the Thanksriving trade and that 38 cents was that price. The onl pute in the bill, that carried ba’ ance of $147.60, was in regard to the “hristmas purchase and that difference was $9.76. He was satisfied that he purchased the stock at an agreel price, 27 cents a pound, and that the Wilcox firm had charged him an ex cess of four cents on 446 pounds of turkevs., Attorney Agard for plaintiff and At- torney McKenna made brief argu- ments, and the judge’s charze was even briefer. After deliberating fifteen min- utes, the jury returned a verdict that the plaintiff recover the balance diie on the bill as presented, less the amount disputed by Mr. Broughton, which means virtually a verdict favorable to the defendant. Andred A. Kellas, made his Initial appearance before a bar of justice on Wednesday, when he war arragned be- fore Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third District court, charged with committing asault upon Archibald M. Reed an overseer in the plant of the Lorraine Manufacturing company. Kellas, who Is eighteen years of age, but who looks to be nearer twenty: eight, pleaded guilty, stating that he was very angry and struck Mr. Reel before realizing what he was doing. He eaid he had worked for Mr. Ree€ in the mill for fourteen months, leaving there two weeks ago and secured em- ployment in the Atwood shop in Ston- ington. He came to Westerly from Johnsonburg, Pa., six years ago and that Mr. Reed was the only man he had ever struck or had any trouble with, and had never even been spoken tflo for misconduct by any police of- cer. Mr. Reed told the court that the as- sault occurred shortly after six o'clock Tuesday night, just after he had cross- ed the pontoon bridge. He said that Kellas followed him, and as he turned to look behind Kellas struck him and discolored the right eye. Mr. Reed, wso is fully able to handle himself, was about to retaliate, when a friend Interfered and said: “Don't -strike: make him pay for it” He then en- tered complaint to Chief of Police Brown. He said Kellas was a very gcod boy in the mill, and bore a good reputation outside, and believed the as- sault was instigated by someone ‘alge. About two weeks ago, Kellas objected to do some work in the mill when or- dered by Mr. Reed and quit the plant. He sent another man for his pay at tho mill before payment was due, and Mr. Reed would not allow the advance pay- ment, but told the messenger that if Kellas wanted his money he could come and get it. Mr. Reed said that this incident might have caused the enmity of Kellas. Judge Williams talked to Kellas at considerable length, explaine ormity of the offense and the mini- mum - If not interested pass on—but—" . if you are==these cuts may help you.
