There is scarcity of dry wood for
fuel in Barre and in most instances
where consumers have sought and failed
to obtain needed supplies OF block wood
or chair wood dealers have not been able
to assure them of any relief in the near
future. Stocks laid in by fuel merchants
last fall were depleted during the win
ter and the influx of green wood to be
stored in local sheds and seasoned
through the summer fell far below the
average OF other years. One man in his
anxiety to replenish his wood supply
made the rounds of dealers here in Barre,
but could not obtain block wood or
chair wood in any quantity. Coal ship
ments are more numerous of late and
many people are ready TO pay an unsea-
sonable price for their next winters
supply rather than to risk the POSSIBLE
ty of shortage in the fall
Barre people are showing their patriot
ism in various ways just now, but the
most tangible evidence of the eity's 10y
atty is to be found in the patronage of
the Liberty loan subscription and the
Red Cross badges. Three tents along
Barre's main thoroughfare report good
day yesterday and persons anxious to
enroll in the Red Cross did not cease /
coming until the tents were closed at |
S o'clock last night. They were open |
again to-day and may be visited by
Red Cross candidates tomorrow. More |
strenuous methods of raising Barre's
quota of Red Cross members TO the de-
sired 200 may be used Tomorrow. As
for the Liberty loan, the banks are con-
tinuing their campaign for subscriptions
and the indications are that it will be
literally patronized in this city. Al
ready one fraternal organization and
club have invested and others are said
to be seriously considering similar
move.
On a Burlington train one day this
week Judge II. w. Scott of the Barre
,ity court encountered Clerk F. S. Platt
Of the United States court, who was re-
turning to his home in Rutland. Clerk
Platt Informed the local magistrate that
many aliens throughout Vermont have
desire to establish their
eligibility for registration next Tuesday
~ applying for first papers in naturali-
,ation court. The clerk also intimated
hat young men of foreign birth who re-
ide in Barre and vicinity seemed anxious
or an early opportunity to apply, in
consequence of which Mr.. Plstt said he
expected to hold session in this city
n the near future. That he intends to
AIRY out this plan is evidenced by the
announcement yesterday that naturaliza-
ion court will be held at city hall Mon
ay, beginning at 10 o'clock and con- =
inuing until all candidates have been
card The session will convene for =
he purpose of receiving applications 4
