Adept a Plan

A definite plan is the foundation Of success in saving.
 It doesn't make much differ ence what the plan of saving is, so long as it's systematic. Some people never spend the dimes they get-they put them in a con venient home savings bank.
 Some men shave themselves and drop into the bank the money they would have to pay the bar ber- Others walk to the office and save the carfare.
 You can select any plan which suits you. Regularity in your saving IS the essential thing.

A special town meeting was held Tn Grange hall Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, to see if the town would lease a small strip of land on Mill street to Samuel Levine. Mr. Levine has built new house on the lot known as the rubber office lot, which he re- gently purchased It was built on the cellar of the old icehouse, and the front of the house is on the street line MT.
