Prohibition leader. To smoke out

the certain result, according to Webb.
The so-called Kenyon-Sheppard bill,
barring interstate shipment of liquor
for illegal purposes is set or con-
sideration in the Senate, December

orably at an early date. believe
both Houses will pass the bill and
that it will be signed before spring. :"

TOWN COUNCIL POSTPONES
STREE EXTENSION WORK
OWING TO LATENESS OF SEASON
1T WAS DEEMED FOR THE BEST
Walk, Cutters and Drainage on Road to
Jerman Chapel to be Repaired at
Once-Pays off Another $1,000


Fearing the interference of bad
winter weather. Smyrna Town Coun-
Gil at its regular meeting Friday
evening decided to postponed street
extention work until next spring.
To make the extension of west Com
mere street frrom the Standpipe to
Jerman Chapel, it was figured that
four weeks at best would be the least
time the project could be completed
in and since the stone had not been
ordered or the steam roller hired, it
was deemed best to abandon the plan
altogether until good weather opened
next spring. The Street Committee
was authorized, however, to attend
to the gutter drainage along the
walk to Jerman Chapel and to spread
several wagon loads of sinders on the
lower places in the walk and in this
way to aid as much as possible the
travel in that section of the town.
Messrs. Hudson and Fortner, the only
members of the Street Committee
present, agreed to take up this i'm
portent work at once. The members
present Friday evening were: Presi-
dent Reynolds, Secretary Grieves
and Messrs. Hudson, Fortner and
Wright.
Telephone Company Wants Franchise
Secretary H. B. Grieves submitted
the draft of an ordinance prepared by
Mr.. Galloway of the Diamond State
Telephone Company, asking that it
be passed by Council. 1t was a
working charter similar to that
passed by Milford and other towns
and which Mr.. Galloway was anxious
for Smyrna to consider since we are
about the only town of any import
ance that has not passed an ordinance
regulating telephone companies. Mem
bers of Council seemed satisfied to go
along as they have without binding
themselves to any agreement or
franchise and pointed out that the
Telephone Company always received
favorable consideration on the part
of Smyrna Council and that relations
had always been pleasant and for
this reason some wanted to continue
the "leave we'll enough alone policy. 3"
However, it was decided to wait
until all the members were present
before action on the proposed ordin-
ance would be taken.
Another ST. 900 Paid on Street Work
Council on motion paid another
$1,000 on the street improvement
work reducing the Indebtedness tc
S14, 900. The original cost of this i'm
provement three years ago was
$27, 900 and considering that Council
has reduced this thirteen thousand
dollars and paid the running expenses
of the town is highly creditable. The
present board has won praise foi
their economical administration OF
affairs. Besides paying the above,
Council allowed bills amounting tC

eUNNERs FOR A CLOSED SEASON
Say Unless This is Done For at Least
a Year. Game Will be Destroyed

Say Unless This is Done For at Least
Year, Game Will be Destroyed
Not for years has there been such
a scarcity of rabbits and birds as this
season comes the report from lower
parts of the county. Heretofore
gunners who went out hunting the
first week averaged about four rab-
bits and double that quantity of
birds a day. but this season it is far
below normal and the average of one
rabbit and two birds seems to be the
minimum. Those most successful
state that most of the rabbits are
concealed in the fields among the high
grass, in fact those who prohibit
cunning in their woods have lately
posted notices in their fields as well.
The sportsmen through the country
are talking very seriously at present
of having a law introduced that no
game be killed for at least one year
and if it can be made two years it
will prove more satisfactory to some.
They state that at present there is
not enough game this year to make a
cunning expedition encouraging and
if the coming winter proves to be a
severe one there will be but very few
more birds and rabbits next season
and that years rest would certainly
be a great benefit. The shortage in
game is also attributed to the large
number of worthless dogs that scour
the woods in the summer and kill
the young rabbits.

OPPOSITION FOR sUFFRAGIsTs
New York Women at Chicago to
Fight Against Franchise.

Another interesting battle doomed up
in the Republican national convention
program today when it was announced
that the anti-suffrag ists would oppose
the efforts of women who seek the right
to vote, to have a suffragist plank
placed in the national Republican plat
form.
Led by Mrs. Arthur Dodge a delega-
ton representing the New York Anti
suffrage society was expected in Chi
cago today to aid in the fight.
The plan of the anti-suffragists Is
to appear before the resolutions COM
mittee at the same time that the Ma
tional Suffrage association makes its
plea. 1t is believed their appearance
will inject an elemtnt of strife into the
suffrage situation and give it semh-
lance of real convention activity.
Little alarm was caused among the
ranks of the suffragists over the pro-
posed move of the ants and they pro-
ceeded with their plans to go ahead and
fight for the plank.

is applied at night in the manner cold

of skin which daily appear. and fair,
soft fresh, girlish complexion is al
ways in evidence.
Dolores skin is not marred by sim

the face in a solution made by dis
