TOWN BEAUTIFUL.

Sentiment to make Dresden the
most beautiful, most attractive,
cleanest town in this entire section
is growing rapidly, and there prom.
ises to be a number Of contestants
for the premiums SO generously OF.
Tered by Mr.. Bowers for the pretti.
lest place in Dresden. Every
home in town ought to com
pete for one of these premiums,
which are most liberal.
Mr.. Bowers proposition made
on Dec. 3, was to give premium
of $25 to the owner OF the pretti-
est yard in Dresden; $40 to the
next prettiest yard and So each
to the two next. This is liberal.
1t ought to encourage the owner
OF every home in this town to
make an effort to not only beauti-
fly his premises, which can be
done with flowers and vines and
evergreens and shrubbery, but to
have the prettiest place in town.
AS stated previously, the Jeffer-
son Davis highway, extending
from the lakes on the north to
the gulf at the south Of US, is
going to bring a world Of travel
through this section, the route
chosen for this Great lakes-to-the-
gulf highway being through both
Fulton and Memphis, and if some
of those tourists knew that just
off this great. highway was a little
old town said to be the prettiest
in the whole country, don't you
reckon they would drive over here
to see us and our pretty town.
Sure they would
Let's get busy-not next mid
summer, when it's hot and the
flies and the 'skeeters and the
heat are at their worst-but right
now, and lay plans for beautiiy-
ing this town. This means that
our merchants will be asked to
quit throwing trash and rubbish
either out Of the front or rear,
but to burn all waste material
paper, boxes, and 50 on.
Several in town have already
begun planning to the end that
the general appearance Of the
town be beautifed. And, then,
a little later we are going to ask
our city fathers to I'll up the
bitches made last year when lay
ing the water mains and improve
our streets.

It's perfectly all right and propel
to send out instructors to the farm
boys, teaching them better and
more scientific methods Of farm
ing and how to produce big
crops Of corn. and so on, but fit
isiimpossible TO market these biz
crops, on account Of neglected
roads, what doth it profit? lit i,
right and proper that the federal
government aid in better farming,
then why is it not right and pro
per that the same government aid
in improved roads? Is the one Of
more importance than the othel?
We think not, and unless thu
roads are improved the boys and
girls are not going to remain Oh
the farms to produce these big
crops.

SANITATION NEEDED.

Ii the municipal officers do not
provide some special measures
dealing with the sanitary condl-
ton Of this town it is liable to be-
come a veritabIe breeding bed for
typhoid and malarial fever before
the summer is gone.
Many citizens have installed
water 6xturers, emptying the
waste out into the streets, where
it will become a breeding place
for mosquitoes this summer. We
saw one place in the residence
portion OF town where the dirty
water was running out Of the end
Of a sewer right into the street.
This is bound to become un-
healthy.
There ought to be some special
law enacted dealing with this sit
uation-and now is the time to
make the laws and put them in
force, before the hot, sickly season
arrives.
If a person does not feel
financially able to provide a septic
tank, then, iihe has water and a
sewer running into the street or
elsewhere, he should be forced to
sink an tight-inch well, tile
curbed, and drain his sewer into
this.
Whatever is done, ought to be
done now.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Nov. 6. =
The German armored submarine U-57,

coast, is expected to act as a CONVOY
for the undersea freighter Deutschland
on her heturn trip to Germany, accord

Koenig. The Deutschland s commander
added: 81 would not be surprised if
the armored submarine appeared off
this coast while ! am in port. You
can t tell what the government will
do.
In answer to questions Captain
Koenig said he probably would make
his homeward dash within the next 10
days. He denied a report that he would

HOW GOOD that
MUSTEROLE FEELS!
It Gets to That Sore Spot
Like Magic

A-a-hi That's delicious relief for
those sore muscles, those stiff joints,
that lame back.
Musterole is clean, white ointment,
made with the oil of mustard and
other home simples.
1t does the work of the old
fashioned mustard plaster, minus the
plaster and minus the blister!
You simply rub Musterole on the
spot where the pain is-rub it on
briskly-and usually the pain is gone.
No muss, no bother. Just comfort
ing, soothing relief - first a gentle
glow, then a delightful sense of cool
ness. And best OF all, no blisters like
the old-fashioned mustard plaster used
to make.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges-
ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago,
pains and aches Of the back or joints,
| sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chill
blains, frosted feet and colds of the
chest Git often prevents pneumonia

AGED NORTH ADAMS
HOTEL MAN DEAD
Foster E. Swift, Native of Cavendish
VT, Well Known Throughout
New England

NORTH ADAMS, Nov. 6.-Foster f.
Swift, 81, one of the best known men
in New England through his long con
nection with the Wilson hotel in this
city and the Sand Springs hotel in
Williamstown, died Saturday in the
North Adams hospital. He had been in
the hospital the past six weeks, having
come here from Boston for his health.
Mr.. Swift was born in Cavendish,
VT, and came to this section about
1870. He relinquished control of the
Wilson hotel in 1900, as advancing
years made it necessary for him to re-
tire. He returned to his old home in
Cavendish and since that time up to
within a few months he had divided
his time between Boston and that place.
He leaves three sisters, Mrs. NJ. A..
Winslow of Boston, Mrs. White of
Cavendish, and another in California.
and three nieces in California.
