 ton, authorizing the hiring of money to meet the towns requirements as authorized in the financial town meet ing.

 Thomas Mckenzie, engineer and superintendent of the water and @swer board. presented plan show ing the culverts that had been placed in Canal and Pleasant streets. soon after the floods of 1877 and 1878, to care for the brook and surface water. He said these culverts were now clos- cd, were useless. and if required to be rebuilt in connection with the laying sf the sewer pipe, would be a waste Eul expenditure. The raising of the dykes along the river front hal pre- vented overflow. The board did not want to fill in these culverts without council authority. The sewer depart ment and the highway department eere of one mind in this matter. He believed that if these culverts. which were walled in and covered with granite, were eliminated, there should be some record of the authority in the record Of the town council. He simply asked for a record of approval as neither the sewer board or high way commission desired to make these changes unless approved by the council. Highway Commissioner Chas.

weight. If the mass Of metal were
made into wall along the battle
fronts--or $500 miles-a yard high
and yard thick, each yard would
weigh 200 hundredweight. Germany
sent to the front every week more
guns than were used IN the whole of
the Franco-prussian war. Twenty.foar
hours consumed more than did the
whole Of the earlier war. The moral
he draws is that such things were only
possible because Germany had been
wise enough before the war to con-
quer the worlds markets and Gust her
enemies.

up as an invitation, for people to make
the regular walk laround the corner,
where this wire has been continually
pulled down or broken and people have
walked across the lawn. At the pres
ent time there are traces Of a nearly
beaten path across the corner Of this
certain lawn where there should be
nothing but the best of grassy sod.
We recently talked to the owner of
this place regarding this practice and
asked him about what he had done
toward breaking it up. He replied
that the wire had done no good and
that he did not want to take the mat
ter up with the various trespassers
personally for the reason that folks
might think that he was hard man
to get along with. Looking cut of the
Office window as we write we notice
some small boys trying to jump over
the beautiful little trees and shrubbery
on the lawn near the Hotel Belding.
Their efforts are not as successful
as their ambitions and as a rule they
land either half or three-quarters of
thee way over and the tree is nearly
bent overwto the ground with their
weight How much heater those
green ornaments look standing as they
do than after some careless act will
have broken them down. Just the
same how much nicer a good, well
sodded lawn looks than one which
has beaten path across the corner.

turn to commercial organizations for
first information.
However, that which we have done,
small in comparison with the achieve
ments and sacrifices of our young
men, from all stations in life, who
went three thousand miles across the
seas and met the most formidable
enemies of all times, and favorably
turned the tide of battle so as to bring
peace to this world. Their sacrifice
was supreme and to them we accredit
the most wonderful accomplishments
and greatest patriotism; and the eff
forts of cur various organizations
went to their support in that great
undertaking.
1919 and 1920 will be reconstruction
years, with continual adjustments to
meet the changing conditions. The
Board of Commerce is capable of
meeting with and successfully per-
petuating the requirements. As body
we stand high among the active and
successful civic organizations Of this
state and we can be trusted to deal
wisely with the problems which may
be presented.
There is an old saying that is very
true, that those who do not go for
ward are in reality going backward.
There is plenty Of work to be done
and we must find time and means to
carry it through and all must do our
part. The man who finds time to help
his community is the one who also
finds time to run his own business
well. Did you ever notice this?
The committee appointed to figure
out the question Of suitable memoir
ial are holding regular meetings and
will no doubt be ready to report in the
very near future. This is no small
undertaking and our first thought
should be that what Bedding does shall
be well done rather than to hurry
matters.
The history of Belding in the world
war is going to take time to COM
plete and we must have census Of
every man from start to finish before
