INTO the work and to influence and
encourage all who assist YOU 50 that
every possible acre shall be sown.
That imperative demands of the
war have made it impossible to avoid
calling up men fit for active service
even though skilled in farming. As
far as possible this is being met by
bringing on to the land men and WON

ing, Jan. %, have been posted, and the
distribution of the annual village reports
begun. The articles in the warrants are
for the transaction of routine business, ex-
ccpt for three which are of more than

Following the sudden death Of fire
horse last summer an attempt was made
in special meeting to have money appro-
priated for the purchase of an automobile
fire truck. f. II. Rabbit offered to give
$500 toward the purchase Of the additional

the same purpose. Mr.. Babbitt says his
offer still holds good. An article calls for
an appropriation of 81 900 toward highway
improvement to secure state aid, This
appropriation is made biennially. A third
article calls for the adoption of building
code. An attempt was made last spring
to adopt code of building laws, establish

Keeps Our Bodies Warm.

Pure, rich, red blood is a necessity in
the production of animal heat. 1t keeps
our bodies warm. We all know very
well that when the arteries that carry it
to a limb are bound or tied, the tenn
pcrature Of the limb is Immediately
lowered.
There is a suggestion in this that, at
this time of year especially, we should
take Hood S Sarsaparilla, if our blood
is impure, impoverished or pale. Hood S
Sarsaparilla makes the blood good IN
quality and quantity. 1t has an UNI
cqualed record for radically and per
manently removing blood diseases, scrof

substances that have long been used by

from Montana. Everybody was cordial
~ invited and large number respond

Of II Changers came from Grafton for
a slcighride party and many were pres

Mandigo s orchestra of Bellows Fails
furnished music for the dancing, which
was mostly the old fashioned square
dances, which old and young seemed
to thoroughly enjoy. There were some
of the modern dances for the younger
ones while the older ones rested, which
seemed necessary from the life some of
the older ones put into their dancing.
They surely could give the modern
dancers some points on stepping the

the "wee sma' hours,' when a supper
was served and everyone went home
wishing that Harry Campbell and wife
