MANCHESTER 
Miss Eva G. Ellis of the Glouces- 
ter Coal Company’s office, has taken 
an apartment with the Ed. Crowells, 
on Lincoln street. Her sister, Mrs. 
Bernard S. Lee, will enter the Bev- 
erly hospital for treatment next week. 
The boys of the G. A. Priest school 
have organized a little baseball league 
among the upper grades and have al- 
ready played two games. Last Fri- 
day the seventh grade defeated the 
sixth graders, 17 to 4. On Monday 
afternoon the eighth grade adminis- 
tered a beating to the sub-freshmen 
by the close score of 12 to IT. 
Miss Ruth Baker entertained a 
number of her friends at her home 
on Summer street last Friday eve- 
ning. The entertainment consisted 
of a vocal solo by Mrs. Alma Mackay 
of Pride’s, cornet solo by H. A. Nick- 
erson, and an xylophone’ solo by 
Carey Martin, both of Gloucester. 
Ice cream and cake were served, af- 
ter which dancing was enjoyed. Mr. 
Nickerson’s four-piece orchestra play-

It is reported that the clerks in the 
grocery stores are to petition the 
proprietors of the stores not to keep 
open during the summer, as is the 
present custom, on Monday and Wed- 
nesday evenings—the evenings select- 
ed for the home guard companies to 
drill. The stores are kept open more 
from custom than necessity, and it ts 
probable the owners will consent to 
the change for at least these two eve- 
nings. 
Scnoor of CANNING AT MANCHES- 
TER-BY-THE-SEA. 
Announcement is made that a 
School for Canning is to be establish- 
ed at Manchester, the result of a long- 
considered .plan, and one which it is 
hoped will serve the needs of the 
community centering about Manches- 
ter, including Pride’s Crossing, Bev- 
erly Farms -and Magnolia. This 
school, in charge of experts, will be 
prepared to can and teach the gentle 
art of canning. The details will be 
given later. 
This early announcement is made 
because of the prevailing hysterics on 
the subject of canning, and the dan- 
ger of over-lapping in such industries 
means a waste of human energy as 
well as money. 
The Manchester school asks for 
the cooperation of the community; it 
cannot succeed without it, and those 
interested in bringing about the ex- 
periment hope that it will mean a per- 
manent industry.
