Charles A. Wade Of the Wade In
has added a fine coupe TO his already
well equipped livery, which will be OF
great use in stormy weather for trips
TO the railroad station and other
places. Mr.. Wade has always tried
to be up-to date and TO give his pat
rons what they want, and generally
speaking he has succeeded.
The Barrows House closed its doors
to the public Monday after a very
successful season. 1t will open again
about the first of May, 1918, and will
be much improved in many ways.
Mr.. Barrows aims to make his guests
not only comfortable but also tries to
make them feel that the house and
grounds are, for the time being, their
home. The outlook for another year
is most encouraging and even at this
time number of applications have
been received for next year.
Rev. and Mrs. VIM. Leroy Haven
returned last Friday from their vaca-
ton which they passed in Morristown
and other places in New Jersey. Mrs.
Haven, we are pleased to say, is very
much stronger and better than before
her departure and returns to Dorset
greatly improved by her trip. Mr..
Haven also benefited by the trip and
looks as if he were able to do his
share of Dorset's work the coming
winter. Dorset, as whole, was very
glad to welcome them and extend the
hand of fellowship and good will
i The Grange meeting last week We'd

; turer's hour was open to the public
, and splendid talk was given on the

results of the talk, which was straight
from the shoulder, were Immediately
shown by the Grange voting to have
its treasurer buy 500 Liberty Bond
for the Dorset Grange. Also several
of the members declared their inten-

Next week is the time to make the
special effort to secure the pledges
and we hope the ladies will be able
to get every housekeeper in their dis
trict. With the cooperation of the
teachers of the schools every house in
the town of Dorset should be visited
or receive a pledge card and no house
keeper will have chance to say they
did not know about this great oppor-
tunity to "do her bit" by enrolling in
the "housekeeper's army" for the con-
servation of food and the helping OF
our boys at the front. Do not mai
your pledge cards. Return them tc
the lady or teacher in your district as
they have to return them to the towr
chairman. Housekeepers signing 9
pledge card will receive window caro-
which they are urged to hang in one OF
their front windows. If this is worth
doing, and it is, let all know by put.
ting your window card where every
body can see it. Every little saving ir
a house reduces the amount needed
and adds to the amount to be sent tc
our boys and the Allies. Even in
every home in every town and city ir
this United States the saving will
grow to such a size that it is beyond
the comprehension Of most of us. just
think minute, over one hundred mil
lion people. At least twenty million
households. Figure it out for your.
self. Then if you have not signed q
card do SO Immediately. A little
saved here, little saved there, helps
wonderfully and YOU hardly know YOU
