Wood writes Village Board of Trustees offering to take contract to remove garbage and ashes from village for $1,000 for first year and $800 for two years following. South Shore Sanitary Company, by C. C. Moore, president, filed applica tion for permission to construct, equip and develop and m aintain sewerage and disposal work for the village. Ap plication received and filed.

Working for Sewer System A gathering of a number of promi nent citizens of the village was held Tuesday evening at the Elks’ Club to consider the proposition of holding a special village election to vote upon the question of bonding the village for a sewerage system.

Petitions will be pre pared for signatures requiring the Village Board to call a special elec- Big BaeebelHOpening Decoration Day The Freeport A. A. will open the baseball season at the Seaman Ave nue grounds, com er of Ocean( Ave nue, on Decoration Day, with two games. The visitors will be the popular Richgiomf Hill team, who need no in troduction to the ball fans of Free port. Morning game called a t 10:30 and afternoon game at 3:30. On the following day the visitors will be the Brooklyn Blue Sox, who have a couple of the Flatbush team playing with them. . The baseball fans of Freeport and vicinity will be glad to hear that the Freeport A. A. has again organized and will be at their same field, Ocean Avenue, corner Searfian Avenue, ev ery Saturday and holiday; starting the season on Decoration Day with the games as noted above. Last year on account of the war, there was no team to represent the village. Owing to increased railroad fares etc., to bring out the best team s from Brooklyn and New York requires quite a little capital which can only be obtained by the hearty support of the residents of Freeport, and this is asked by the club. If all persons attending the games will give a quarter, com p aratively a small amount to see a good base ball game, the Association will have a successful season; and civic pride ought to take a strong enough hold on a community the size of Freeport, to turn out a large crowd of rooters. In the line-up, composed mostly of boys who have been discharged from Uncle Sam ’s great war team , in bet te r condition than ever before and eager to play, will be: Ellison, Be dell, Ed. Meaney, W. Cheshire, P e t tit, Raynor, Edwards, Stew a rt, Rollo, A. Post, J. Meaney, Fussell, Johns ton and Schwab. OBITUARY The funeral services of William F. Gridland, who died at Ossining on Sunday, were held Tuesday, with in term e n t in St. Brigid’s Cemetery, W estbury; C. A. Fulton, funeral di rector. MRS.

Davison and Miss Stella Foreman, both of this village. Her husband died about 20 years ago. She was always active in church work, one of the best known women in the village, and beloved by all who knew her. Lufbery Boys Defeat Freeport In a practice game last Sunday a f ternoon the aviation boys from Roose velt Field, better known as the “Old Lufbery Boys’’ defeated a picked Freeport team at the Seaman Ave nue grounds by a score of 6-3. Freeport Ice Company Wins Games The Freeport Ice Co. defeated the Clinton F'. C. by a score of 3-1, Sun day, making their second straight game, following the defeat of the old Howards from Brooklyn by a score of 3-2 the preceding Sunday. The main feature of the game was the excellent batting of Smith and Seaman, and Honey P o tter’s sensational catching and throwing his man out five feet from the home plate. Decoration Day afternoon the Club will play the Kenwood B. B. C., of Brooklyn, and on Saturday afternoon they will go to Mineola and play the Mrneola A.

To Hold Sewing Exhibits There will be in each school of the village an exhibit of the sewing done by the girls during this school year. These girls have worked very f a ith fully and it is to be hoped that every one ’ interested in sewing or in the schools will find it convenient to see one or more of these exhibits, which will be held according to the following schedule, opening at 3:30 p. m.: Columbus Avenue School, June 4. Seaman Avenue School, June 6. Grove Street School, June 10. Archer Street School, June 12.

The Board seemed to think th a t at least one light was ne cessary, and referred this to the Lights Committee with power. Our Martyred Dead Our m a rtyred dead: On each low bed. Green be the chaplet, Fresh the roses; Oh, lightly rest, ’* On each calm breast, The tu r f where each In peace reposes. Hail, hero shades! Your battle blades A wall of steel Our homes surrounded; Your deeds have won, From sire to son, 0 Love, joy and gratitude Unbounded. No marble cold May guard your mould, But living hearts. Around, are swelling; Each daring deed Shall gain the meed Of praise from all hearts Richly flowing. Your sacred dust Be the choice trust Of Freedom ’s grateful Sons and daughters; While future days Your fame shall raise, From A tlantic’s To Pacific waters. —Rev. Mark Traftorv. From “Bea con Lights of Patriotism .\ ‘'Hospitalized” a New W*rd. A new war word has appeared which, unhappily, we are likely to hear very often In the future. H ie word la “hospitalized,” says the Manchester Guardian. It la applied to eoldlera who have been a long time in hos pital, whose minds have lain fallow and have lost mental liber. So far little baa been done In an organised way to rectify thla deterioration. It is ehleffy among officers where “bhepltallsatlon\ is evident In many cnees young officers who have been seriously wounded and had a long con valescence have found, when they went back to the army or were Inva lided out end returned te their pro- fewdoe or business, that they were far from what they were before, their mental energy having weakened, and they werejineble to grmsp affaire. First National Bank Still Progressing The report of the condition of the First National Bank of Freeport, pub lished in this issue, shows resources of well over a million dollars. The last report published in the Nassau County Review, for August 31, 1918, showed total resources of less than $900,000, an increase a t this time of nearly $170,000. Main Street Property Changes Hands E. J. Kelly has sold the building op posite the American TJheatre, con taining the A. & P.

Louis Kolish Missing A reward has been offered for in formation leading to the whereabouts of Louis Kolish of 538 E a s t 83rd St., New York. Mr. Kolisch disappeared Saturday, May 10, and has not been seen since. He is a brother of Rich ard M. Kolish, well-known in this vil lage, where he frequently visits at the home of his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Miller. The Band Concert Question An interesting communication fron E. V.- Baldwin, regarding band con certs, will be published in our next is sue. Think this proposition over in the meantime. Officer’s Car Hits Young Lady Miss Evelyn Levine, while riding her bicycle on W est Merrick Road Friday 'afternoon turned around in front of the rapidly approaching Gov ernment auto driven by Major Law- son, M. T. C., coming from Camp Up ton. Major Lawson saw the young lady but was driving so fast that he skidded for over 60 feet and was still moving quite rapidlye when he hit the bicycle, stopping several feet beyond. She was taken to the home of her brother on West Merrick Road, where it was found that no bones were brok en, although she was painfully cut about the face and head. She is still confined to her bed, apparently hav ing strained some ligam ents in one of her legs. Around the Town The Brooklyn Eagle reports the purchase by Rudolph P. Domschke of the large Queen Anne cottage on plot 170x175, com er Miller and Atlantic Avenues, form erly owned by Louise M. Andrews.

Long Island Council No. 550, U n it ed Commercial Travelers of Amer ica, will hold their meeting this Sat urday evening, May 31, instead of June 7.

The citizens of Albany are pre paring the most elaborate reception ever given any organization visiting that city, and Governor Smith is also lending his aid. In recognition of the well-known “ Eleven o’clock Toast,’’ a t which hour Elks always cease worldly activities and thoughts and momen tarily remember their brothers who have passed into the great beyond, the city of Albany on the three nights of the convention will have all the lights extinguished in the city, and have el even strokes sounded on an immense gong in the city hall.

A good attendance is hoped for as there is n As you grow older you find your thoughts turning more to the past; an ever increasing part is played in your life by memories. A subtle perfume, perhaps; what memories it can bring! Or the first hint of coldness in the morning a ir late in summer; how it brings back autumn days long past! But it is in music the richest memories lie. Melodies of the past! How they thrill you, how they bring scenes you had thought were gone forever! All the memories th a t music has stored up for you The New Edison Diamond Amberola will give in all the rich warmth and with the thrill of reality. It will play for you in the summer twilight; its music will mingle with the sighing wind on long w inter evenings. i CHUBBUCK’S I I QUALITY DRUG STORE | Freeport quilting to be done.

Peerless Eight The car with a “Dual Personality” Tt I f OTOR CARS, when they have had sufficient power and speed for durable dis- J Yl tance-driving, have been extravagantly wasteful of fuel for every-day utility- ^ driving. But in its Sporting Range the Peerless Two-Power-Range Eight com petes successfully with even those master cars designed especially for power and speed without regard for the gentler virtues. THE “LOAFING” RANGE While in its Loafing Range the Peerless asks no favors of those cars which excel in soft, smooth, economical operation but make no claim to power and speed. * - is a separate and distinct r'ange of power, generously ample for every type of per- • formance required of a car in every-day driving. It is notable for an unus ually soft,’ even flowx of power that seems not so much to drive the car, as to impel it to glide. Yet it \picks up” almost instantly to any desired speed —and all the while it is consuming only half rations of fuel. You cannot imagine the thrill of such contrasting performances in one and the same car until you ex perience it. You cannot appreciate the satisfaction of real ope rating economy without sacrifice of power and speed until you own the car \dual personality”—the Peerless Two-Power-Range, Eighty-Horse- Power Eight. Let the Peerless dealer demonstrate—you will enjoy a new motoring experience and determine how you may lessen the financial strain and increase the pleasure of owning a motor car. THE “SPORTING” RANGE —is the other separate and distinct range of power, giving the car entirely different characteristics. Its seeming limit of speed, or ability further to climb the long steep grade, is hardly sensed before the Peerless takes on new life—speeds faster and yet faster. The soft purr of the motor is replaced by the throb of eighty horse power unleashed, full fed, and capable of any speed you would dare, or of any climb for which any road way was ever built.
