In distributing the inventory blanks
among the granite manufacturers, mem
bers Of the assessing board and their
representatives have been surprised by
the apparent shrinkage in the number OF
men employed. Each manufacturer i
required to fill out blank on which
are listed the names Of the men en-
ployed by him. While business condi.
tions in the Barre granite industry are
steadily improving, 1t appears that few
or men than in some past years are emf
ployed. BY many this Is believed to por.
tend trend toward the increased Use Of
machinery in the industry.

That the Barre granite manufacturers
are aiming to produce an entirely differ
ent type of monument from that erected
as memorials TO the Civil war and Span
ish-Ameriean veterans il eyinced by the
exactness with which they are striving
to portray everything true to the life
Of the soldier and his wearing apparel
One incident Of this eNaetness is de.
scribed in the Barre Granite" Maya
zine published by the Granite Manufae-
turers' association. A dealer, rather
than accept an ordinary rifle for a model
to be seulptured in granite, went so far
as to obtain one used in the European
struggle. 1t is now placed in the care Of
the association secretary 50 that ii NAV
be available for any other producer de-
string such an article for his model,
Without doubt, the people of this gen
GRAFTON who see soldiers memorials will
note a marked change in the subjects de
picted from those of previous wars. In
stead of a figure of soldier with a
wreath adjoining his head as he stands at
Parade Rest" there will probably be
some actual scene portrayed which might
be recognized by q spectator who will
be examining the architects design. II
is with this ideal in view that the manu-,
facturers are pleasing their customers
