If the taxpayers of Barre must pay
$133.00 for the Goodhue prize package
a large majority of them would prefer
that the price be fixed by three outsiders
rather than by the secret session of the
Mayors Board. Better put little more
money with the sum already named and
discover the location of the invisible
wire that some parsonage of high de-
gree is evidently pulling at this time.

America is surely the land of the fire

America is surely the land of the free,
indeed it is too liberal when lraitorous
citizens are permitted to rake in the gold
from the sale of firearms to their
countrys enemies when so many brave
boys in blue are falling to an early grave
by that some means. 1t scarcely seems
possible that government like this one
would allow such treason for an instant.
Burning at the stake would be none 100
good for the man who calls himself an
American and is guilty of furnishing
arms to the tilipinos at this time.
