The second need we are trying to fill by helping you get

enough ballots to go around , and our issue of last week is

only passengers, but mail and express as well. That makes
it everybody . Act, then, and let the Railroad Company know

ballots, let it be a favorable judgment.
We have been asked to do a very simple thing. Let's do it.

"All along tho Atlantic , (loir and

enjoy the sport of salt water fish-

The Sea Beckons
"Fishing Is the most natural
sport, dutlng back to the time when
men lived in caves, never shaved
and ate their meal raw, That is
why llshlng appeals to so many of
us, because our ancestors have
been llshln g for centuries , and
because the love of the chase is
In our blood. And maybe because
the cave men didn 't shave and
lived a hard life is the reason Why
today 's Fishermen hate to shave

Victor F. Adams, Selectman ol
the Town of Barnstable, guvo tin
Informal talk last night on our
form of town government vs. town
management. Mr. Adams also spoke
on Article. 56 In the warrant as
sponsored
"by the Barnacle Club.
Mr. Adams said that the Barnacle
Club had done many lino things In
the past and that not all of its
members were In agreement with
the sponsors of thlB article. Be-
cause Barnstable has a per capita
tax rate of $100 it does not mean
wasteful management. Mr. Adams
quoted on this, Cape towns, some
more and some less than Barn-
stable. Nearly all seacoasl towns
have a higher tax rate than Inland
ones, due to summer population,
work and harbors and beaches, etc.

A birthday cake board had been
kindly loaned and on this, sur-
rounded and topped by 80 slender

placed the cake or the day. Lest
there should not be enough for all
the guests, a second cake had been

this time by Mrs. Charles Mallett ,
our neighbor at the Are station.
This proved equally tempting, for
at nine o'clock there wasn't a crumb

It was fitting that the afternoon 's
