ENTHUSIASTIC PARISH SUPPER
Was Held BY the Barre Congregational
Church Last Evening.

The annual parish supper and get-to-
gether meeting of the Congregational
church proved a delightful affair last
evening and about 200 people gathered in
the church parlor for the supper, which
was held at o'clock, and the informal
speechmaking afterward. A hearty spir-
it OF goodfellowship was present every
where and the evening was very enjoy
able one for All,
Eleven tables were filed with good
things to eat and surrounded to their
capacity with guests, part Of the tables
eing reset to accommodate the large num-
Der unable to find setting room at the
first tables, and after an invocation by
the pastor, Rev. DR. +. l.. Goodspeed, the
eatables began to disappear with start
ling rapidity.
1t was while those in attendance were
still seated at the tables that the in.
formal speechmaking began H. G. Wood.
ruff was master of ceremonies and in q
pleasing way introduced the various
speakers, who rehearsed some of the
things accomplished in their departments
and those which they hoped to see ac'
eomplished in the future.
For the primary department of the
Sunday school, its superintendent, Mrs
o. G. Stickney, spoke; for the junior de.
partment, its superintendent, Mrs. Car
Eisenwinter; for the home department
Miss Harriet Chandler, for her mother
Mrs. Susan Chandler, superintendent; fol
the intermediate department, Charles A
Spear, superintendent.
Then, taking up the work of the church
organization itself, Deacon j. c. Grigg'
was called upon to represent the church
committee, G. H. White the business com
mittee, Mrs. w. II. Gale the woman's as
ISOLATION, and Leonard r. Hutchinson the
men of the parish.
Mrs. Isabelle Even, the pastors assist
ant told something of her work in thu
parish and some chances for work by
members of the church and congregation
that she had observed.
| DIR. Goodspeed then spoke very aptly o.
the work of the church, his observation
since he came to Barre and some of tn,
things he would like to see brought abou
in the church.
Much enthusiasm was evineed through
out the addresses and as the gathering
broke up it was with greetings Of goot
will and the feeling that the church will
go "over the top" in whatever it attempts

LIEUTENANT
WRITES FROM TEXAS
Lieutenant Harold q. Holt Assigned
NJ Help Waco, Texas, Raise Her
Liberty Bond Quota

An interesting letter was received
this week by Mr.. and Mrs. J. b. Holt
from their son, Lieutenant Harold G..
Holt, who is stationed at Camp Mac
Arthur, Waco, Texas. Extracts from
the letter are as follows:
I'VE have been on the artillery
range for two weeks and with small
Interruptions we will be here three
weeks more.
Il was assigned by the camp COM
mander to help the Waco committee
on this Liberty Loan drive. | was
on that work for 10 days and during
that time Waco raised its quota of
81 100000. l did not like the work
never a high pressure salesman and
then | felt as though it was not my
business to tell the people of Waco
to buy bonds. In my home town it
would have been all right. Never
theless l was glad to be appointed on
the committee for there were three
officers from our regiment ind seven
from the rest of the camp, so you
see it was a little bit of an honor
and also a chance to meet the large
and influential men of Waco.
Il have now drawn another S. D.
Especial duty job. Eight of us from
this regiment are to go to Columbus,
Ohio, and bring down a trainload of
drafted men. 1t will be a nice trip,
but "a hard job, for the men will
probably be an unwieldy bunch to
handle.
II am about due to go to the school
of fire in the near future. That will
be 10 weeks of study, and the hard
est kind of study at that, but l will
probably be a real artilleryman when
| come back. The school of fire is at
Fort Sill, Oklahoma"

CHAMBER TO SURVEY
WHEAT AND FLOUR
Appointment of Committee to As.
Semble Surplus Wheat and Flour
Authorized by Chamber of
Commerce

Spurred to greater efforts by the
vivid word picture of the imperative
need of the United States and her
allies for food and more food
brought by President Wilbur of Stan
fod University, the cham Der of com
merce has taken a hand in the matter
and committee will soon be appoint
ed to make a prehensive survey
of the community for wheat and
flour 1t is believed that, following
the seeding season, many farmers
VIII have a surplus of wheat over
their actual requiem ents and that
many families will be found who are
willing to give up a part of their
flour even though it be a small
amount, to help feed the fighting
men on the western front. The com
mittee will work in cooperation with
and under the direction of County
Food Administrator j. n. Emerson.
lAN W meat anu iIOuI Will ne aSSpIl-
bled and gotten ready for shipment
and will be subject to the call of the
food administration.
This method of making available
for the soldiers even more wheat and
flour from this community than the
food administration demanded was
proposed by f. NJ Slagle, and the
committee to make the survey will
include both business men and
farmers. The people of Pullman are
fast reaching that point where they
are willing and anxious to make real
sacrifices in the cause of the United
States and her allies, and many local
families have foresworn almost en-
tirely the use of wheat flour for any
purpose.

government service in Washington,
D, c., during the past few months,
and thousands more are needed"
Notwithstanding the fact that
local boards of examiners have made
unusual effort to obtain applicants
for these examinations, the commits
sion requests that even additional ex-
ertion be made in this direction. The
need is most pressing"
"Endeavor to obtain announce
ments in local papers. Ask managers
Of theatres to insert notices in the
atre programs. Ask pastors of the
churches to print notices in church
bulletins and to bring this need of
the government to the attention of
their congregations in any other
manner they deem proper"
can examination will be especially
announced by the district secretary,
upon your request, to be held in any
city at any time, day or night, when

this course will receive, If they con-
tinue their work at the State College
full college elective credit for the

school graduates may use the credlt
m ade in either course toward college
entrance
The government need has caused
a shortage of good stenographers IN
business houses.

graphers, together with the growing
realization OF the educational value

thoroughly mastered, has caused
demand for qualified teachers Oh

NEEDED MOISTURE FALLS
BOTH RAIN AND SNOW

Farmers and city gardeners who
have been praying for rain to assist
the growing crops had their hopes
realized Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week when intermittent rain and
snow fell, soaking the ground to a
goodly depth. Fall wheat and gar
dens are now in excellent condition,
and a good crop of wheat in the Pa
louise country seems again assured.
