Village Improvement Society Supper.

Our Village Improv ement society
will give supper on the school lawn
Friday at $50 continuing until all are
served. However, if the weather
should prove unfavorable the supper
will be held in the vestry of the Con-
gregational church The price will be
25 cents per plate. The proceeds of
this supper will go to defray the
expenses of the tennis court recently
built on the school grounds and to
assist the Boy Scouts, both of these
objects being we'll worthy of assist
ance- Surely the tennis court, which
is now in shape, and is being constant
ly used, affords our younger boys and
girls, good clean common sense amuse-
ment and we must all agree that such
recreation tends to develop both
muscle and brain and is much better
from every standpoint than the street
corner talks, and the attic cigarette
habit. We might mention too that
the boy scout movement here should
be encouraged. it tends to make our
boys become better men and more self
reliant. The cause is worthy your
patronage and let's all of us make an
effort to attend the supper.

Attention Aueomohilists.

The trustees have recently heard
many complaints because of the reck-
less and unlawful manner that auto
mobiles are being driven through
Barton village. After careful consid-
GRAFTON and investigation it has been
decided to change the speed limit as
posted on the roads leading into the
village to 20 miles per hour as this
seems to be fair speed for all con-
cerned for the conditions as found
here. Deeming it to be for the gener-
al welfare of our residents. steps will
be taken to enforce the state laws
concerning the speed and lighting of
automobiles and motor cycles as we'll
as the rules of the road.
