If every person in the United States

of Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo,
that failure to subscribe the $1,000 600
600 loan would be worse than disaster
in battle, there would be little chance
of the failure of the great movement.
II is a fact that a failure to subscribe
the minimum amount set by the govern
ment would be a great encouragement to
our enemies and a terribly disheartening
blow to our allies. The latter are look

for funds with which to carry on in part

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
That Main Pearl St. Lighting Application

To the Editor, Barre Daily Times;
Would you please allow me, through the
columns of your paper, a chance to make
a statement in regard to the electric
sign which l have asked permission tc
erect at the corner of Pearl and Main
streets.
According to statement made by one
alderman at the meeting Monday night
the public might get the impression that
want the city or someone to give me
something toward lighting this sign
Now such is not the case. At the corner
above mentioned there is an are light OF
250 watts that would not be needed and
could be taken down if this sign were
put up, as it would light the street as
well as at the present time, if not bet
ter.
What difference would it make in ex-
pense to the city whether l was allowed
$40 per year for lighting that corner or
the city pay it direct to the lighting com
