To Dispose of Town Lot.

Germs consideration Of the petitions rel

to have no minimum restriction at

be heard as to why each of the courses
proposed is better than the other. One
citizen suggested Monday that any
person who actually believes that the

Report of His 1911 Record.
One Danielson man makes the fol-
lowing annual report of his 1911 record
to himself; You have lived through
the past year very much the same as
you have lived through various pre-
ceding years, congratulating yourself
on your ability to create excuses that
have acted as an anesthetic, Temporal
rily, at least on your conscience. You
have not been guilty of any crimes
against the state. but you have failed
to do many things for your own ad-
vancement and for the benefit of 9TH
ers that lay within your powers to &C
confplish, without sacrifice of more
than your inherent tendency to lei
yourself down easy. where additional
yet not exhaustive, effort was required
| of you to achieve worthy eLds thai
you aspire to reach.
"A careful study of your work FOL
the past year reveals no mention, OF
unspoken thought that would indicate
that you will be more harsh with your
self in the immediate future than yot
have been for years past as regards
making the latent energy that is stor,
ed in your system do the work that f
should be made to do for the Creates
good Of yourself and others. You have
sometime since, inaugurated the Gus.
tom Of making an annual report t
yourself, but even the cold facts they
have always contained relative to vol

a good time during 1911, but you coulC

Adopt
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
Der. 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.

and starts your savings earning

startling shrinkage may be regarded
as only temporary. however as II is
due to the Industrial depression and
chiefly on account of the practical
closing Of a LEGAL mill where NEST of

financial statement of the church for

We're in excess of $4,000, and. that the
