 Dr. Maher's Fable is gladly ac. knowledged, but when you are sure that your state senator and your mem- bers of the assembly are all working full handed to beat the Adversary there is no object in troubling them with letters. Dr. Higgins, as al- ways, has the courage of his convic. tions. It is not healthful and it is not dignified to smoke when convened as a deliberative body. All the w. 10. T U. members are with him. As doubtless is Dr. Maher. All together working into the hands of "Dr. Viger.''

 The special town meeting of last Saturday night was without special incident. The attendance was small for three reasons. = the cold weather, bad travelling and the fact that there was no controversy. Only one matter was dealt with; the tax rate. A rate of four mills was laid on the 1916 list, payable May 1.
 John A. Houchens and J. Gallup Service will take the military census of the town. It was thought best to let MT. Houchens do the work alone as he is quite familiar with such work having taken the town census for the government in 1910, also the school enumeration and military and personal tax enrollment for several years, but Governor H0loomb thought it better to have at least two. At this writing the necessary blanks have not arrived, but will probably be here so the work will start Wednesday.
