500 THE MARK
For Membership Campaign in the Barre
Board of Trade.

When our manufacturers, merchants,
professional men and citizens come for
ward and take hold of a Board of Trade
as they have for the last few days, there
is surely something going to be doing.
1t shows an interest in support OF
better Barre. IL means a getting to-
pether OF citizens as we have never done
before, touching Of elbows in friendli-
ness. one for another, an interest in our
neighbors' welfare, happy thought that
our fellow workmen are better fellows
than we had known them to be be-
fore
Add our new membership of 275 to
our membership of lao and we have a
membership of 4l5 on our Board of
Trade. We are going to make it 500
and that right away. We have already
had congratulations from outside cities.
We ask those that have joined to help
get more. Our strength is in our mem
bership more than in our bank account.
It's an old saying that money makes the
mare 90. It's your influence and inter
est that keeps the old mare in the road
on her right course.
It's the duty OF every member to ask
questions, make suggestions, bring in
new things to help with, new IDEAS;
they won't all work but some of them
will and when this year winds up we
will all feel better for having held out
a helping hand to Barre's Board of
Trade.
Later there will be gatherings of the
whole Board of Trade for suggestions,
kicks and congratulations. BE there and
take your mart. The more we talk
things over the better we become ac-
quainted, the more the Board of Trade
helps you, the more you can help the
Board of Trade.
This boards development is worthy of
a determined try, are you with us for
the best that we know how to do?

MUSICAL RECITAL ENJOYED.
Pupils of Miss Gladys Gale Entertained
Elders Saturday.

The pupils OF Miss Gladys n. Gale gave
a recital in the Congregational church
Saturday afternon. All the pupils ac-
quilted themselves very creditably. The
selections of the older pupils were very
well executed. especially for their age,
but the younger ones gave very good
impression.
The class work was remarkable. This
work gives a knowledge of the instu-
ment and foundation in music before
they start TO play, and prepares the child
well for his future piano work. The
oldest class did some four part harmony
work on the board. Taken as a whole
the work was fine success and much
credit is due the teacher. The follow

pressed desire this afternoon to see

former clergyman told Rev. Herbert S.
johnson, one of his spiritual advisors,
that he would not urge his brother to
call if the latter thought he could not
undergo the ordeal and would break
down, but he would be pleased to see
him. The prisoner said that so far as
he is concerned he could meet his broth
er without fear of collapsing

fate. He said he felt he is at peace
with God and the world He is even
