WESTPORT
Special to the Farmer }

Westport, Nov. 12-A number of au- tonobile owners about town feel rath- CT peeved over the conditions of the streets. At the present time Main street is being torn up to have 8 sewer repaired. It was said last eve ming that the selectmen of the town could have waited until after the Yale Princeton game is played in New Ha- ven on Saturday to start this work. Owing to the fact that the State street bridge is not open to traffic automobiles will have to pass over the other bridge. In returning from the games a number of cars will come through town which will not go through aenroute to the game. In find ing that the bridge is closed the cars will be unable to go back through Main or East Church streets but will have to go in round about way. It is well known that if Main street was not torn up the automobiles could pass through this street. An auto mobile owner said yesterday: t'It is well enough to have good streets and keep them in repair as well as town improvements but I do not think that when one street is closed to traffic that the town should close all the main streets in the town. A large amount of automobiles will pass through this place on Saturday and Sunday next and owing to this the store keepers will have a chance to get some of the trade. If the select men of the town close the traffic of the main route I can not see where the tourist will stop off in town at all.''
 Miss Jennie Martin of State street entertained number of friends at her home in honor of her eighteenth birthday anniversary. The evening was passed in a most pleasing way with the playing of games and music. At late hour a luncheon was served aftc- which the guests r.part~d 'or their homes.

too. which we cannot quote
word for word. but what he
meant was this: Avoid exag-
oerated values. Do not say an
article is a 1000 value for 800
unless it is. Tell the truth about
the merchandise. Steele-Smith's
have the reputation of absolute
reliability and they have gained
that reputation. and shall main-
tain it, by living up to every
verbal or published promise.
The very paper you hold in your
hands now may contain exag-
gerated advertisements, In
which you will place little con-
fidenee. Some states have
passed laws requiring merohan-
disc and values to be in keeping
with the published statements
concerning them.
LET Your Advertising Ring

is so much truth to be told about
this ever busy, progressive serv-
ice store? So much truth that
there is never a semblance OF an
excuse for stating otherwise.
When you read a statement over
the Steele-Smith signature, just
remember that it has been
weighed tested - analyzed-
