OUR SHARE $3.50.
Local Drive for Barton's Share of
100000 Red Cross Fund.

Will Barton give $3.50 to the Red
Cross organization for work among
the sick and wounded soldiers And
some of those boys needing aid will
undoubtedly be Barton lads who reg
istered only a short time ago.
At a meeting in Alumni hall Mon
day evening NJ NJ Taplin of Orleans
spoke on the subject of Red Cross
work and needs. II. R. Cutler pre-
sided over the meeting. c. L. Erwin
and Rev. w. A Warner preceded Mr..
Taplin with brief remarks. Mr.. Tap
lin spoke of the significance of the
occasion as the country was at war.
He said no one should feel that Red
Cross money was "given" to anyone,
but rather that it was money we
owed, a debt of conscience. He also
said we failed to understand the mag
nitude of the undertaking before us
in this war, and that our go-as-you-
please methods in America were IL
able yet to bring defeat against the
method" which predominated in our
enemy. Mr. Taplin spoke of the fact
that over $500 was raised in Orleans
on Monday for Red Cross work.
An organization for local work was
made that evening when J. T. Batch
elder was made captain of a company
of men to visit our people and ask for
their Red Cross gifts.
Everywhere throughout this broad
land funds are being raised this week
for the Red Cross We have had our
membership campaign, but it is not
too late to join and this is the week
for Red Cross gifts. The amount is
only about so cents per capita for our
village and that amount surely ought
to be realized as an average.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2.30 o'clock
H. S. Howard of Burlington will
speak in Alumni hall and every man,
woman, and child is urged to be pres
ent. Mr.. Howard is secretary of the
Vermont chapter and brings a mes
sage.

The text for Sunday was Judges 5:
20, "The Man Who Fought the Stars. !"
Sisera was the Philistine leader. The
Israelites were in bondage to the Phil
istines. They cried to God in their
distress and he heard their cry. Sis
era should have realized slavery was
sin. You can't fight against right and
win. The two leaders met, Barak and
Sisera. Every evidence IN sight was
a victory for Sisera yet God sent the
torrent Of rain which was the cause Of
the Philistine's defeat. Sisera's par
ents were watching for his return and
wondered why he tarried SO long.
How great was their disappointment
at his sad death.
At the evening service Mr.. Ranney
told Of the victory Of Moses with the
rod, Elk. II, 18th verse.

Mill Property to be Utilized Again.

The woodland of the Willoughby
Wood & Lumber company lying in
the southern part of the town of Bar
ton and in northern Caledonia county
comprising some 5000 acres has been
acquired by a syndicate of Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island men who are
owners of large cotton mills in south
ern New England. The mill, a mill be-
low South Barton village, but in the
town of Sutton, is being extensively
overhauled and repaired. The lum-
ber will be shipped in the rough to
six or seven mills in Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Rhode Island to
be manufactured into bobbins and
spools. This property was originally
owned by the late +. H. Pillsbury and
was operated for many years for the
soft wood. He sold to the Willough~
by Wood & Lumber company who op-
Grated the property under the man
agement of F. p Thrasher for several
years, but for some time the property
has been idle and it will be good news
for all concerned to have the mill run
ming once more. The supply of bob
bin stock is almost unlimited on this
property.
