will be treated with death, hurls a horse

who plays this very important role in
the story is certainly one of the most
clever actors, old or young, who have

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Proposes puhlic Market for Barre.

Editor, Barre Daily Times A publ
market, located In convenient section
Of the city of Barre would perform !
much needed service between the pro
Queer and consumer OF the section. Sucl
a market would be in a position TO re
tail direct TO the consumer all kinds Of
| fresh vegetables and fruit, as well al
other farm and garden produce. suci
markets have been very successfully OPP
Grated in other cities of the state, where
the population Is much smaller than that
of Barre.
There are numberless benefits to be de-
rived from such a market, particularly in
the case of the consumer. He Tor shel
can come to this market and select from
the large variety offered, the best and
the most fresh articles and those that
are wanted. Such market, operated
under municipal control, would assure
the consumer of getting their moneys
worth, as the producers would be in di.
rect competition; so that sales would be
made at practically auction prices.
The city should be able to find local
man to supervise such market, who
would be competent 10 agree with pro.
ducers on reasonable prices. Prices
would be established for different grades
of produce so that the producer who
brought the best stuff would get the best
price.
our energy and make every move count,
il seems that such cooperation between
producer and consumer should be empha-
sized Such a market would be the
means of furnishing more and better

a headquarters for the farmers to sell
their surplus produce as well as afford
ing the regular market gardener a steady
market without the heavy expense of
house-to-house delivery, which the con-
sumner has to pay for in higher price.
With a public market the consumer can
select his own produce and by carrying
Ii home himself, save the charge for de-
livery and allow the gardener and farm
er more time to spend at home growing
more produce.
Produce can be better preserved in a
place like public market. 1t is all sold
fresh instead of being iolted about town
in wagon all day or stored in grocery |
for two or three days. So much for con.
servation. Last year in other cities the
public markets proved a splendid outlet |
for the surplus of the local war garden
ers." This was especially so in the case
IF the boys and girls, who We'd with each

II was too much to expect, perhaps
that the United States government could
place huge war contracts without some
faint of graft creeping into the machin-
cry of operation because of the insensste
greed of individuals. 1t is well that the
moral cancer is to be cut out now so
that it will not take further root and
spread. To that end it is hoped that the
persons found guilty of preying upon
their own government or the operations
of their own government will be brought

acts,

$1,000 each, the money to be paid at the
convenience of the purchasers, only il

year 1918. The larger towns and the
cities of the state viii have to depend
on a large number of these maximum
purchases in order to bring them up to
their quotas in the pledge campaign, and
it must dawn upon persons of larger

The interest which the school children
of Barre have taken in responding to the
call of the government for the purchase
of thrift and war savings stamps is very
commendable, and it is to be hoped that
the interest will not be allowed to wane
during the summer. Parents can do
much toward developing the habit of
thrift in their children by encouraging
the earning of money with which to in
crease the children's holdings. Then,
when school reopens in the autumn, there
should be concerted effort again to boost

1t is possible that the Austrians were
forced to make drive on Italy by rea-
son of internal conditions in their own
land. Having found that the allies were
too willy to accept any proffer of peace
made without sufficient evidence of good
faith, their war leaders were forced by
the demands of the people for peace to
make an attack on Italy in the hope of
being able to stave off revolution by
means Of the sop of temporary victory.

Out There.


Out there, the fame swept trenches;
Back here, the smiling field.
Out there, the battle harvest;
Back here, the fruitful yield.
o you, who dwell securely,
With all that life can give,
Remember those forever
Who died that you might live.
Out there, the crowded moment;
Back here, the tears and fears;
Out there the great adventure;
Back here, the empty years.
Oh, you who are immortal,
Remember from on high
The weary ones remaining,
Who lived that you might die.
