Beautiful Plaid
Skirts Reduced to
$3.50

This, in the face of the great
est shortage of plaid skirts we
have ever known.
They are every one taken
from our own racks, all are fine
all-wool materials, such as pru-
nellas and velour-finished wor-
steds, and they are all good col
ors and most popular styles.
Finally, there is a saving of
from $3.50 to So on each skirt.
There is not, however, every
size in everyy model, but the
assortment is complete as a
whole. Both light and dark
effects and some full box
pleated models.

That man who forms purpose which he knows
to be right and then moves forward to accomplish it
without inquirng where it will land him as an
individual and without caring what the immediate
consequences to himself will be- is the manifest of
manly men.
There is something in human nature that always
responds to manly courage.
There too many who build fences about
themselves and do nothing for fear of making
mistakes
II take no risks says, and on this account
Philadelphia stands still in many directions.
Such are like standsill freight trains at
night with powerful lamp at the end
But there other pushing forward all the
time, who conscious that, while they may make
mistakes their fellows will generously understand,
and allow them time and liberty to repair them.
There is hardly any that is able to take his
own measure to his possibilities until he
experiments with himself.

of this sort the allies can do little except
work for moderation. Great Britain is, Of

Barre's total fire loss for the calendar

chief, c. B. Gladding, was remarkably
low, and the number Of calls for the serv-
ices of the fire department was far below
the average, being just an even so for
calls of all kinds. OF that total number
of calls only - were general alarms,
and it is certain that several of them
were unnecessary. The total loss in the
fifty fires was only $6,005, while the
property endangered was approximately
quarter of a million dollars. If the other
cities and towns had contributed in like
proportion, it is evident that the nations

BARRE,s FINANCIAL CONDITION

In other columns of to.day'3 paper we
print as much of the city of Barre's
financial statistics as time and space
permit, and we suggest that the people
OF Barre give attention to the reports.
There is much of interest in them, and
there is much which furnishes food for
thought. The year which the munich
pality faces at the present time is rather
e&acting. Practically two-ffths of the
citys Indebtedness falls due during the
II months, the bonds including $57 500
of an old municipal issue and $4,000 of
old water bonds, to say nothing of some
smaller obligations. Inasmuch as there
is not enough in the sinking funds to
meet all these bonds this year it will
probably be necessary to refund part of
the amount or curtail largely in the cur
rent expenditures and at the same time
jump the tax rate still higher than the
finance committee has recommended I'm.
der the conditions the refunding plan
seems to be the more reasonable. Then,
in addition to the bond requirements.
there are unusual conditions which are
oiishoots of the war and which win call
for more than the normal expenditures
in order to keep the departments running
