 Wales is still without street lights, and the long expected electric current is apparently no nearer the town than when the poles were set during Aug ust. At the April town meeting it was voted to contract for electric lights and the old kerosene lamps were taken down. Electricity was promised for July, but the bare poles are all the town has as yet.
 The state highway between Brim- field and Wales has been repaired and top of gravel carted on from the Valley mill to the town line, and is much appreciated. A large amount of lumber is being drawn from the southern part of the town to the elec- trio railway switch at Brimfeld, and thls road has been in bad shape. Re- pairs are still needed on the Brimfield end and stone should be removed from the road the entire distance.
 The store of Edna Lanphear, in which is the Wales post office, was broken into again on Saturday night The post office was not disturbed and Miss Lanphear missed only one pair of shoes from her stock, pair of size 6, mems tan-colored lace. Entrance was made by breaking one of the large front windows in the boot and shoe room, and the break was discoy- cred by A. F. Pepper Sunday morn- ing. These breaks occur quite. regu- Larly. and this thief was more con- ,iderate than some who have done more damage to the stock than the value of goods taken.

 The nearly completed four r-mile strip of River road, that has been for fourteen months in process of recon struction, is said to be one of the best pieces of road in the county. The new bridge and the strengthening of the curve near the "Babcock" cross- ing is one of the noticeable improve ments, but the widening of the way at "the narrows'' is the most appre ciated feature, after all.

In0 h0pUDA1Cdu B CIl00EAuA4y gwen direction for the spelling. of Gen. Huerta's name is not very clear, but may give good practice. With ''h' in Spanish always silent and "u' pronounced like "w" and ''e'' ia, :" we are given "ooerr -tah, " two sylla- bles, the. last very short and pure vowel. Why attempt the Spanish pronunciation? Americanize it; sound the "H." To the majority it sounds more dignified that way and more people understand who you are speak ing of than when you attempt the Spanish, about which the Spanish ex- perts themselves are said to differ. !

 The rumor that has gone out to the effect that the memorial town hall could not be used after November l for theatrical purposes has caused no small amount of uneasiness, as this is the only available hall outside of the picture theater in Monson.
