THE RED CROSS BENEFIT.
Plans Are Spreading for Great Doin's
Early Next Month.

Goose Green's forthcoming Iarniva
and Winter Cattle Show is gaining bot
prestige and momentum, and as the ds.
! when the biggest show of the year is q
open draws near, the prospects OF
plethoric fund for the Barre Red eros
branch and tributary organizations grow
brighter and brighter. A movement
which had its beginnings when Messrs
House and Benjamin OF Berlin donated 1
fine Holstein beifer calf, gift which
was later duplicated by A. 4. & A. L
Smith of Trow hill, has received thu
desired impetus through the entry of the
Goose Green people in the lists. The com
munity which successfully staged biz
outdoor festival three summers ago and
followed its initial triumph with other
money making affairs is in il for keeps
as letter reproduced below readily in
dicates.
In addition TO the gift of calves, W.
| A. Drew, president of the Barre Red
Cross, announced to-day that other dona
tons had been received. Mrs. Agnes ;.
klavora of North Main ST. Get has pre-.
scented the benefit committee two Rus
! sian cluny lace lunch cloths. which are
| to be sold for the Red Cross fund. For
the same cause William Duff, the artist,
has donated one of his choicest water
color paintings, a Scottish genre scene.
In this connection it may be stated that
other donations will be thankfully re.
ceived by the president or any other Off
Ger of the Red Cross.
Arrangements for the big fete in the
early days of March are going ahead
ba 30 &,
alive to the opportunities for raising a
big Red Cross fund, and the campaign
will be pushed to the limit. From time
to time a further declaration of what
the citizens of that village have in store
for the public may be expected in these
columns. The following letter is self
explanatory;
