town prize for greatest individual i'm

cultural books and if studied from
time to timeto time the children will
be assisted materially in their garden
and farm work.
Our streets look clean. Our lawns
look fine. Now is the time to keep
them up so that all who pass through
will see what beautiful place Dorset
has been made. Young and old should

walks, and roads. A little cooperation
on the part Of the public will secure

ly attended and it was very evident

library building fund. We consider
that very good idea and we feel GER
tain that a godly number Of dollar
tickets will be sold.
