on the S. S. Pratt place, has GER
tainly improved their appearance

the actions and language of those

property owners put up with these
things is beyond the writer. II is
not up to one person to try to put |
a stop to 1t; but TT Is UP TO THE
ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AS one of
the drinkers said Saturday night,
when spoken to: WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

and by the spring of 1914 the golf
course will be in better shape than
even before. A new tennis court haa

made In Dorset and vicinity. Dor !,
