l.. b. Wickersham, who came to Barre
under the auspices of the Woman's club.

all afternoon considerable amount OF
small change continued TO jinge merrily
into the kettle. As complement to the
kettle appeal, the Army has placed mite
boxes in nearly all of the stores around
the city. The proceeds will be devoted
to the poor at Christmas, as has been

People who have delayed to adjust
their storm windows or to don their

lighter rigs around the city, while on
the country highways farmers are at

winter has begun in deadly earnest.
