Word has been received Of the death

eral weeks. He was well known in

Road Commissioner John Reed is
building new piece Of State road in
the North district near the Mason
Clark farm which, when finished, will
be a credit TO our town A handsome
concrete bridge has been built to take
the place Of the old wooden one and
the road is being raised quite little,
making the grade much better. This
kind of work each year will soon give
Dorset as fine a main road as any in
the State.
Frank Ferdinand, the steward Of the
Dorset Field Club, gave an exhibition
of rough-ridinR last Monday. Start
ing at the club, Mr.. Ferdinand went
flying down Church street. The thor
oughfare was lined with his admirers,
Such remarkable riding had not been
seen here since the "Stark Brothers
fearing to lose the services of the
tearing to lose the services of the
steward, followed after him in his au-
tomobile. A feature of the ride was
the straight course Mr. Ferdinand
took to the stable door. The horse
belonged to Reid Lefevre, the Will
liam S. Hart of Dorset.
THE Fighting Fourth" Liberty
Loan Drive is almost here. Dorset
made a fine record for the Third
Loan. This time we understand that
Dorsets quota will be about $4,000
instead of $12,500 AS these amounts
are made up from the towns grand
list it means that every property
holder is personally responsible for
our quota Such being the case our
summer property holders are remind
ed that they should plan to do their
/ bit" with the permanent residents. To
see how much can be done and to ex-
plain the coming drive all of our sum
mer property owners (men and wom-
EN- are asked to meet the Liberty
Loan Committee at the Dorset Field
4 Club on Saturday the 14th at four
o'clock in the afternoon for an inform
al dicussion of the situation. You
readers who see this are asked to tell
your neighbor who might not be a
Journal reader. In other words, pass
the word around" While talking to
our summer friends we will not forget
our own people. This loan is just as
! important as any of the others and
every home is expected to plan for at
least one bond and as many more as
they can possibly arrange for. The
committee will soon have meetings in
different parts of the town and hope
all will attend.
