BRATTLEBoRo NEEDS

A public playground where the
spirit of initiative can be nurtured
and the enjoyment of outdoor life en-
couraged;
A reorganization of its highway de-
partment for the purpose of bringing
about a radical Improvement in the
condition of the streets about town
and more careful supervision of them
after they are improved;
A deeper sense of civic pride in the
appearance of various portions of the
town and consequent elimination OF
all eye-sores to the community.
An enlarged freight yard with bet
ter facilities for prompt handling of
traffic;
More tenements to accommodate the
steady increase in the towns popula-
ton and facilitate the opportunity for
further growth that is bound to come;
Wider publicity for the exceptional
advantages which will soon be avail
able to all industries locating in this
section, and greater exploitation of
the inducements which the town is
prepared to offer substantial and self
sustaining concerns;
More cooperation in booming the
"bigger, better, buster Brattleboro"
idea; less strife over petty affairs
whose relation to the general welfare
of the community is comparatively
small more disinterested endeavor to
improve conditions wherever they
can be improved; less selfshness, lit
tie more tolerance of the shortcom-
ings in our neighbors, and stronger
determination to make this model
New England town in the truest sense.

paid its respects to Daniel Bree assistant

we find that Mr.. Bree in many re
spects is an excellent officer, but unfortu-

urgovermable temper For this reason.

Another head.on collision on the road

rowly ayerted near Brattleboro, Il few
DAYS after the Canaan horror, which
would in all probability, have been even
worse than that one. An investigation
showed that the operator, a woman, was

is likely to be the end OF the matter. I'm

same conditions there or elsewhere will
not prevail again, when the outcome may
be less fortunate. How much longer will

of train despatChing, on a single track
road, doing double track business and
crowding its employees with work be-
yond endurance?

A Poultry Food of Genuine Merit.

The manufacturer of any stock food
must be attentive to all the details of its
preparation, being certain that only first
class materials enter into its composition.
1t is claimed for Pages Perfected Poul-
try Food" that there doesn't enter into
its composition a single particle of the
ordinary meat meal which is the basis for
so many poultry foods. The nearest ap-
proach to it is what is known as Tallow
Scraps or Cracklings, and every grand
mother who has lived on the farm and
taken care of chickens knows that there
is nothing better to make hens lay than
Tallow Scraps, and pages Perfected

percentage of this ingredient.

Young Men S Christian association
Any cause that makes for the moral,
physical and spiritual bettermcnt Of
Young men is n worthy one, and as
such should be looked upon with re.
spect and tolerance. Let us suggest,
however, to the good people of Rut-
land that they expend their energies
in a field that is wider and contains
more chances Of permanent success, by
organizing an association whose aims
are similar to those of the Y. NJ. G..
A. but which is not handicapped by
any constitutional provision regarding
religious belief. Let it be an Organi-
cation in which persons of all creeds
have equal rights and privileges. Brat
tleboro has had no little experience in
the difficulties that beset the life of a
Y. NJ. c. A. and people who are IA
miliar with the circumstances will ad'
nit that not little of the prejudice
which the association met was due to
its narrow regulations regarding re
ligious belief.
