The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-05-25

ager John V. Rowen gave the visitors a
warm welcome, and in short time the
house belonged pretty much to the
Orange county folks. Col II. +. Parker
of the Bradford Opinion was the master
of ceremonies.
Covers were laid for 60 people and to
emphasize further the spirit of the oc-
casion the tables and diningroom were
gaily decorated. Mr.. Parker presided at
an informal program of afterdinner exer-
cises. There were brief patriotic re-
sponses by the townspeople who accom-.
panied the recruits to Barre; there were
songs; and there were feeling replies by
the boys who are to represent the town Of
Bradford in the new divisions that are
forming at Camp Devens. II was a
unique and signal way of honoring the
young men and they indicated in various
ways that the celebration was thorough
ly appreciated.

in front of city hall at Gas o'clock and
formed in line. The procession was led
by the Barre pipe and drum band, and as
it wendell its way down the street, the
recruits were loudly cheered. At the
station a large crowd was waiting to re-
ceive the men. There was another band
selection, and then City Atty. William
Wishart spoke briefly. He reminded the
men that they are enlisted in cause
that has for its primary purpose the
salvation of the world
Our forefathers under Washington,
said the speaker, fought for the freedom
of America Again under Lincoln men
fought for the preservation of the union.
Even more impressive is the task which
the greatest army in history has under
taken. The soldiers of the allies are con-
secrated to the task of saving the world
from the brutal domination of German
autocracy.
Some of the scenes of yesterdays fare
well in honor of the drafted men were
re-enacted again this morning Relatives
and friends embraced their dear ones.

BRYAN's HAIR CUT IN 'sa.

Williams J. Bryan has at last explained the fringe of graying hair that has formed a halo-like circle around his head for nearly two-score years. The other day MT. Bryan told the secret of his flowing locks and admitted that his hair was cropped for the last time in 1882.
 At that time, Bryan explained ne was engaged to the woman who IS now his wife. His haircut nearly cancelled the engagement, all be- cause his ears are built on generous pattern and for efficiency raNper than beauty.
 Since that time Mrs. Bryan has, ln- sisted that the offending ears be safely tucked away behind flowing locks.
 "Merely a case of justifiable cam ouflage," MT. Bryan explained.

Red Cross Notes

The committee appointed by MT. J. l.. Bevens to solicit material and clothing for Belgium relief work met yesterday morning at the home of Mrs. w. B. Hays. The members of the committee responded prompt ly to this call and were enthusiastic over the work. Those who have something to contribute are asked to send same on Tuesday to the Elks club, where they will be packed for shipment.
 The committee for relief in Bel gium ask that in collecting clothing none of the following articles be sent:
 Mems stiff hats (derby, straw, dress.)
 Women's stiff hats.
 Women's fancy slippers.
 Goods containing rubber in any form, as suspenders, garters, etc.
 People who donate shoes are asked to see that they are free from mud.
 It is also requested that no notes or messages be placed in the pockets of garments, as no written matter can be sent in to this territory with these goods.
 In gathering clothing for the Bel giums, people are asked to consider the fact that in Northern France sacks stuffed with dry leaves are used as mattresses. Everywhere there is great need for blankets. In some places whole families sleep to- gether to share a single blanket. Hospitals suffer for want of sheets.
 Mrs. E. F. Brown, of St. Louis, di- rector of women's work, will talk at the court house Tuesday night at 8 D. m. Mrs. Brown has a message for all interested in Red Cross work, which should mean every man, wo- man and child in our city, will be there to hear her.
