duce the National Rhode Island Red club

pected interest in the coming show will

Members of the Board of Trade met
in the manufacturers room in the G. w.
Averill building last night to consider
routine business and proposals from
board members as well as others not
connected with the organization. A com
mendable suggestion from a prominent
local man proposes that the board ex-
tend an invitation to the New England
Association of Cemetery Superintendents
to hold one of their quarterly meetings
in Barre sometime during 1914. A ten
tative program would provide entertain
ment for the superintendents while in
the city, and allow them ample opportu-
nifty for inspecting the stone sheds and
quarries, where monuments for many of
New England's finest cemeteries are pro-
duced. The suggestion was thoughtfully
received and more may be heard from il
later.
