The Standard Oil company's pro-

January first-the first six months

out profits of $50, 1875, 800.

Three Barre Churches Conducted Success
full Evening Service.

The first of series of open air re-
| ligious meetings participated in jointly
by the congregations of the Hedding

the Congregational churches was held in
the city park last evening at O'Clock
Rev. J. w. Barnett, pastor of the Con-
gregational church, preaching the ser
mon. A large number of people occu-
pied the chairs gathered around the
music stand where the services were
held Music was furnished by mixed
chorus from the three churches, under
the direction of c. s. Andrews. Rev.
George II. Holt of the Baptist church
offered prayer, and the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. +. +. Newell of
the Methodist church.
Throughout the remainder of July and
August the three churches will unite in
union services on the park each Sunday
evening The plan accommodates the
ministers. who are thus enabled to take
their vacations without leaving their
churches without services and also sat
isfes desire for out of door religious
exercises during the warm months. Last
year the idea was successfully carried
out during July and August and the in
terest maintained in the services from
the first to the last makes it apparent
that the plan has .outgrown the expert
mental stage and is now fixture among
the three churches.

THIRD PARTY CALL
ISSUED BY DIXON
Those in Sympathy With National Pro
gressive Movement" Are Asked to
Send Delegates to Chicago
August g.

New York, July SA call to the peo.
pie of the United States, who are in
sympathy with the national progress
sive movement" to send delegates to
a national convention to open in Chicago
August was given out yesterday after
noon by United States Senator Joseph
NJ. Dixon of Montana, Theodore Roose-
velt's campaign manager. The call is
signed by members OF the committee
chosen at the meeting held at the close
of the Republican convention in CHI
cagoS and also includes signatures OF
Roosevelt followers in 40 states.
"The territories have no place in a
national convention and will not be con-
sidered," declared Senator Dixon in com
menting upon the signatures. "As for
the missing eight states, the most OK
them will probably send delegates al
though they have not taken part in the
call
"The call lays down no rules as to
methods of choosing delegates. since
each state will be expected to select its
delegates by its own paraphernalia. The
representation will be cut down to just
one-half that of the previous eonven-
tions. In all probability the convention
will adopt the name National Progress
sive' for the new party but | cannot
say definitely what will be DONE"

Up Discussion of National Chair
man for Coming Campaign.

Washington, d. c., July s,--President
Taft arrived to-day from Beverly, pre-
pared later in the day to confer with
the subcommittee of the Republican ma
tional committee about the selection OF
a national chairman. Secretary Mac
Veagh, who was returning from Dublin,
IN. FL. came with President Taft.
Many believed the national chairman
might not be chosen until tomorrow.
Harry NJ. Dougherty OF Ohio, whom the
president is said to favor for the place
very strongly, arrived to-day. 1t was
said that Representative William B, Nc
iKinley, who conducted the presidents s
pre- convention campaign, would take the
national craftsmanship if Taft and the
committee wanted him. William Barnes,
,ir., chairman of the New York state
committee is being considered for the
place Many of the committee seemed
certain that Charles D. Hilles, the pres
lident's secretary, would not be chosen.
