Mr. and Mrs. John Germeroth, jr., and daughter Muriel have retumed to Freeport after spending the aummer in the Berkshires.
With flags flying, bands playing, an aeroplane encircling overhead and the noise of hundreds, of specially se¬ cured noise makers, Freeport en masse welcomed back its own from the war on Labor. Day. It was not the fault of the committee that there were only half of them in the line,

Block Dance in the Evening

W. C. C. S. "Returne" Coffee Urn
.•\bout 9:00 o'clock space was cleared for admission of a local W. C. C. S. 6uto containing a handsome ten gal¬ lon coffee urn. When the war first started two years ago. Chief Randall loaned to the Community Service work the coffee urn presented to the department by the former chaplain, Charles Herbert Scholey. They made a reservation that it might be called for when needed, but have gone with¬ out it and left it for use for the sol¬ diers and sailors where over a quarter of a million cups of coffee have been served from it in the two years since. The Club did not use all the budget allotted to it for its work, none of the "directors" drawing any salary, and it seemed fair to use part of availa¬ ble funds for a new urn to replace the one loaned, rather than to give back the one so worn out that it has been in repair several times. .Ac¬ cordingly the uin "returned" is an up-to-the-minute coffee cooker with a connection for pas heating. It was returned by Major Holland in a short address of thanks, in which he spoke of the cordial feeling existing between the Fire Department and the W. C. C. S. workers. Chief Williams lujcepted for the Department and called for three cheers for the "Soldiers' Cluh."

AROUND THE TOWN
(B. T. B. C)
La.st week I spoke about the rail¬ road I'ompany fixing up around the de¬ pot. Let us put it this way. If you had the railroad business, and were uetting all the trade without opposi¬ tion, and the depot was so you could house your ticket olfice—it is a little better than that—and thc grounds were such that people could get to the depot—and they are a bit better than that—and you were getting hit on every hand, for increased wages, higher cost of material^ higher cost of supplies, and then getting kickt worse when you talkt about raiping fares lo meet the incr^se, would you feel in the humor to spend money for im¬ provements you could get along with¬ out.    Honest, would you ?
The point is just this. If we want the roads fixt around the depot it is up to us to do the fixing.
The chap that knockt down part of the fence on the northwest corner oS Merrick Road and Ocean Avenue had the right itiea, although he went at it in a bad way, jumping a front curb and knocking it down with hi.: auto fender—and he didn't make a very good job either—he should have fin- isht it while he was at it. As it is or was it is a dangerous corner for autos crossing the Merrick Road on Ocean Avenue, the fence being so high—or the road so low—that an auto on one street cannot be seen from the other.
I am not a crank on the booze ques¬ tion, but putting right to a dollars and cents question, which seems to ap¬ peal to most of us, I have not yet seen an argument a.iywhere that would convince me that we would be any worse off when it is absolutely impos¬ sible to get a drink of the fool-making stuff. This is not to preach a sermon, or to emphasize my statement regard¬ ing the results of the drink, because we all know them, although we are hopeful that our children of the next generation will not. We just started to speak of the improvements at the old Benson House, which io now occu¬ pied, quite appropriately, as a gro¬ cery and a clothing store, having been remodeled for that purpose, Consid¬ ering the scarcity of buildings in the business section of the village it is a safe proposition that the stores will not remain vacant for any length of time, and while the hotel which pre¬ ceded these stores was run as good as hotels usually are, it is also safe to say that the result of argument from sale of goods will not get into the po¬ lice court as they did before as u nat¬ ural result of the use of the liquor.
And that lead? me to the thajght regarding smoking. I read an adver¬ tisement in one of the city papers the other night of a man who was asking ° the booze fiends and friends to vote for him to offset the action of the W. C. T. U, in endeavoring to do away with smoking, and, he argues, ulti- niately, with tea and coffee. The point is far fetched, and while some may arjj^ue that a few years ago the propo¬ sition to make the sale of liquor illeg¬ al was laughed at, it is admitted even by those who used it that it would be a good thing it it were not ""'d. The argument as to the result of the use of liquor cannot be applied to smok¬ ing, any more than eating candy, be¬ ing injurious to the persons only who use them, and when used to excess, and their use will never be prohibited, excepting under special conditions. As a matter of fac'c, smoking is not good for children, and should be re|c- ulated, but beyond that it never will go.
