on Bigger and Better Barre"

| At the Hedding Methodist church las
night, the pastor, Rev. e. O. Thayer, ad

"A Bigger and Better Barre" The text
for the sermon was taken from the 2lst
chapter of Revelations, beginning witt

Of obtaining a bigger and better city is

this method should be adopted to secure
this end for Barre.
In order to procure bigger and better

Rev Thayer designated the rum seller as

lies in the fact that liquor dealers are in

The governors assembled at Chicago
two weeks ago and drafted letter
to Colonel Roosevelt asserting that there
was a popular demand for him to be
president again, and urging him to de-
clare himself as to whether he would
accept the Republican nomination "if it
came unsolicited and unsought."
For two weeks Colonel Roosevelt con
sidered the letter indicating plainly that
he had no intention of making a hasty
reply. The governors letter follows:
Chicago, Feb, 10. 1912.
''We, the undersigned Republican gov
ernors, assembled for the purpose of

The reports of committees for the

and legislation and taxation.

during the past year the legislation
and taxation committees reported that
two measures deemed of great import
ance to the state We're the establish
men of state penal farm and shade

is being agitated over the state. The

In addition the club had representa-

on the subject. The State Federation
of commercial clubs has also endorsed

ure was not successful in escaping the
waste basket of the legislative commit

late.
The committee believes public util

proper protection of tax payers of vari-
Gus cities of the state.
The committee suggests that the
club make a study of a law to regulate
the sale of stocks similar to the law
now in force in the state of Kansas.
1t also suggests that the club direct
investigation of the advantage of hav
ing a law enacted that would provide
for the creation of a sinking fund for
cities to be used for the purpose of
buying public utility bonds, and to pro-
vide a method of investigating such
bonds SO that the earnings on the sink
ing fund might accumulate and fur
nish a fund for the purchase of pub
