SPEEDWELL.

We are looking forward with
bright hopes to the coming home of
our soldier boys. We think they
crossing now and will be at home by
April 1st. Nearly all the Speedwell
boys belong to the famous 3Oth Di-
vision and were in the battles that
broke the Hindenburg line and made
the Huns blister their heels in flight.
The 3Oth will 90 down in history as
one of the best fighting units of the
world war. Now that the war is
over we will be so glad to see our
boys come home and take their
places in the home, as of old. We
are so thankful that all our Speed
well boys are coming back. Some
were wounded. but none killed. so
far as we know, Our sympathy
goes out to every family whose dear
boys made the supreme sacrifice.

basis, the church considering It's duty
to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters Of first Importance
which it should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result of the
campaign will be the apportionment OF

When the town authorities have
completed the work they contem-

should pass an ordinance making it
unlawful to leave teams standing

on any private lot, unless the feed
ing be done in barn. In this way
a lot of the trash and litter can be
