WENHAM VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT So- 
ciety Horps ANNUAL MEETING. 
The annual meeting of the Wenham 
Village Improvement society was held 
Friday afternoon in the Tea room with 
a large attendance of interested mem- 
bers. From the year’s report of the 
various activities of the society, a 
splendid showing was made of the 
work of the organization, which stands 
for the general improvement of the 
town in its broadest sense. 
A room was equipped for manual 
training and a teacher supported for 
six months to demonstrate the practi- 
cal part of this work to the boys. At 
the end of this time the school com- 
mittee took over this work and made 
it a part of the school curriculum. 
Under the supervision of Miss 
Mary Powers, sewing schools have 
been maintained during the summer. 
The classes are now carefully graded 
and in seven years time it has come 
to be a very necessary part of the 
girl’s summer routine. Some fifty 
children attended with an average at- 
tendance of 36. 
The sum of $250 was appropriated 
last year to support a free bed in the 
Beverly hospital. The hospital trus- 
tees were unable to accept such a bed

FIRST QUALITY 
“Standard first quality” means that after 60 years of expe- 
rience it is the Standard established by us for first quality and 
every rubber is branded with the ‘Hub-Mark.” 
Hub-Mark Rubbers are constructed and the compound put 
together to give the best possible service under all conditions 
and still be sold at a price that will permit everyone to wear 
them and get the maximum return for his money. They cost 
no more than any first-class rubber. 
Hub-Mark Rubbers are made in all styles and for all purposes. 
The Hub-Mark is your Value-Mark. 
If your dealer cannot supply you, write us.

so the money was retained by the Im- 
provement society as a hospital fund, 
available to any needing hospital care 
—$175 was expended and the society 
voted to appropriate $100 for the com- 
ing year. 
Thomas Connolly, a well known Bev- 
erly Farms man, aged 42 years, died 
at the home of his sister, Mrs. John 
Freeman, English street, Salem, Wed- 
nesday evening. For the last two 
months, Mr. Connolly had been under 
treatment at a Boston hospital and 
gradually failed so that his death was 
not unexpected. He was employed 
principally by local contractors and 
was a great favorite among his fellow 
workmen and popular with all who 
knew him. He was single and a mem- 
ber of the local nights of Columbus 
council. Funeral services will be held 
at the church of the Immaculate Con- 
ception in Salem tomorrow and inter- 
ment will be in St. Mary’s cemetery 
of that city. 
The Green’s committee, Mrs. Wil- 
liam Trowt, chairman, reported that 
the work had been in charge of Jacob 
Barnes and at an expense of $75 the 
Greens continued to give a neat and 
attractive appearance to the town. 
This year the annual flower show 
was omitted and in its place, the so- 
ciety made an exhibit at Topsfield in 
co-operation with the work of the 
county organization. 
In the promotion of all these inter- 
ests much money is needed and yearly 
the society faces the problem of keep- 
ing its treasury in a healthy state. 
The annual fair see ved overdone, 
so the society opened a tea room and 
exchange, which made a_ profit of 
$500. Seventy-four people have con- 
signed to the Exchange and $1371.49 
worth of goods have been sold. 
The society gave a rising vote of 
thanks to its president, Miss Helen 
Burnham, in appreciation of her hard 
work, generosity and unfailing tact, 
which, combined, made an ideal leader 
for this new enterprise of the Im- 
provement society.

for the coming year: President, Miss 
Helen Burnham; Vice Presidents,
