| After lapse Of fortnight during
which most Of the larger plants and prac
| tically all OF the smaller concerns were
idle, the granite industry win take on
another lease of life Monday Crews
that have been seriously depleted in the
| past two weeks win be on hand when
! the whistle sounds, as most Of the gran
lite workers who have been i'll are on the
road to recovery. Influenza has en-
gagged the attention Of nearly every
manufacturer in the district, for many of
those who have not been III have asso-
ciated themselves with relief work A
few stonesheds were reopened yester
day.
There ia slight prospect that activities
| in Barre will return to their normal chan
nels next week. The health authorities
are unanimously committed to the belief
that the influenza must be effectively
stamped out before public gatherings are
permitted. Therefore, the schools will
remain closed Movies are to continue
under the ban indefinitely, and churches
viii not be allowed to reopen. Public meet
ings or gatherings where only few peo
| pie assemble will be discouraged until
the situation is materially improved, ac-
cording to statement made by a mem
Der of the board Of health to-day.
A strenuous week lies ahead Of the
Liberty loan committee, for the sub.

the fourth loan must be completed be-

effort here has necessarily been held up
on account Of the epidemic. Just now
Things are breaking better for the COM

influenza is clearing. A more detailed
statement Of plans will be issued Mon
day, members of the committee said to-
day, but in the interval they are desir-
ous of driving home the fact that Barre's
quota must and win be subscribed. A
house.to house canvass will feature the
drive.
| Provision stores and other mercantile
establishments, not including drug stores,
were closed to-day in observance of Co
lumbus day The closing rule also OBJ
tanned in the banks and in many bust
ness offices, but those Of the granite
manufacturers who have not been com
PEELED by circumstances to suspend OPP
erations, did not call it holiday until
| IL o'clock, the customary closing hour
on Saturday. Nothing in the way of
public observance marked the day, but a
rather large number of people were gath
cred on the streets and divided them
selves into little groups, presumably to
discuss the war; for there are very pat
ent reasons just now why the kaiser may
be wishing that Columbus had never dis
covered America
An alarm Of fire last night scattered
board of health edicts to the winds, in
sofar as they applied to public gather
