A real, old fashioned slugging match
viii be served up to Barre Wednesday
when the Dollar, former champion
and known as the American iron man,
meets old II. c. L., who has been the un-
popular champion for about five years.
A warm scrap is assured as the two
have been enemies for many years and
the battle will be to a finish. Right
now the outlook for the Dollar is
mighty bright and by Wednesday noon
the champion should be hanging on tie
ropes. The Dollar will enter the. fray
with the favor of popular sentiment
on his side which makes the prospects
all the brighter
For the past two weeks Dollar has
been training hard and close under the
supervision of the merchants of the
town. Bargain and Special, both old
time favorites, especially with the
women, have the aspirant in hand and
as both are known to be the worst
thorns in the side of H. C. L., their
presence adds all the more interest to
the fight They also know the cham
pions little tricks and subterfuges and
for this reason it is certain the Dollar
will come out with the title.
Well, you say, what is it all about.

here's the whole story: Wednesday
has been set aside by the leading mer-
chants of the city as a day upon which
all kinds OF wonders may be worked
with dollar.
For instance, at many stores articles
usually retailing for anywhere from
81 % to $50 are bein lowered to 81 FOR
the day. Mind YOU. this doesn't mean ey-
erything, because if it did there would
be a run on some articles, and then

Then, just as good as all that. some
stores have placed on their lists. bar

seen in Barre. There's little the wom-

so Wednesday should be a feast-day
for them.
The Board of Trade is at the bottom
of the idea and has induced the mer
chants to put through the thing as a
boost to Barre. The merchants may
be the losers on the deal but they've
all fallen in enthusiastically and are
vyeing with each other TO see who can
offer the best bargain or who can make
