It is interesting to note that gray el Is coming into its own for road making purposes. Years ago men of experience in different parts of the state built gravel roads as experi- ments and as illustrations of what the material, properly handled. was capable of. Those roads are excellent today. Then came the era of crushed stone and macadam, which relegated gravel to the dump. Now crushed stone has been proven unsatisfactory and not at all the durable thing it was supposed to be. This condition has compelled quite a number of towns to turn again to the gravel banks, Bristol among them. The re- suit is better roads for less money Bristol Press.

A great many old eterans have been mustered out of e service during the past twelve onths; and some, too, in the heyday youth, who were serving with the htion's defenders in Mexico, have ined the old guard of '61 and the ew graves received their Memorial y baptism of flowers today for the Est time.

THE TWILIGHT CLUB

Occasionally we hear someone
knock the Twilight club with express
sions like the following: what has
the club done? Nothing" at doesn't
do a thing for the city. All the mem
bers do is eat. ! don't believe in the
club" To such persons we would
like to refer to some of the active
workers of the club. They will learn
that these men consider the Twilight
club one of the most important insti-
tutions in our city and they will find
that it has been instrumental in keep
ing Watertown on the map and that
it already has done much for the
city 1t has by bringing prominent
and practical speakers here, been an
educational institution for the busl-
ness and professional men of . the
city of inestimable value. 1t has
brought about many changes by
creating public sentiment which has
been for the welfare of the city. 1t
has been wholly instrumental in max
ing the Chautauqua a permanent in
stitution here which is one of the best
things which has been done for the
city in many years. The club is still
young and its possibilities for the flu
ture are great.
The value of discussing present day
problems is a necessity to any city
that would advance, as discussion al
ways brings about action and results
and results are what we want. We
invite discussion of the above sub
ject in our columns.

The trend of business and dollars
is away from the country and toward
the city. There can be no possible
doubt of that. Catalog houses are
becoming constantly more bloated
from the proceeds of farm and small
town industry. Some of these cata-
log houses are doing more business
every year than some of the concerns
that were prosecuted by the govern
ment as trusts. And all the while the
country merchants who makes a fair
living thinks he is lucky.
1t is abnormal and un-American and
wrong that the city should fatten on
the brain and body and thrift of the
countryside, and give no fair return.
And, deep under. the skin, the folks
who have felt the nations need of
antitrust legislation realize this and
are cropping about for a better balance
of things. The only danger is that
they may not keep close enough to
the ground.
A great many thoughtful people
think, for instance, that the town
merchant could compete very profta-
bly, with the silent salesman" of the
mailorder house if the play were fair
They say that the small dealer has
just as good values to offer as the
catalog house a thousand miles away
and can deliver the goods more quick
ly and in better condition, and will
take them back if they don't suit.
But, these folks say, The catalogs do
not always tell the truth. They fea-
ture few standardized goods of ma
uonal reputation at. or below, cost
and in this way tempt the consumer
to buy heavily of unbranded goods
that can be sold at such a profit as to
make up the preceding loss MANIFOLD
So in the long run the citizen doesn't
gain anything. Generally he can

Not HfTeCteu Dy DEAD companion.
The supposed fear Of death is one
of the most salient instances of the
fashion in which we are inclined to
attribute our own sensations in ami
mails. At the geological gardens ami
mails that are kept together often die,
and there is no instance on record
in which Except among carnivorous
creatures which sometimes devour a
dead companion) an animal has shown
the slightest interest or apparent dis
turbance at the presence of its dead
companion.
