LOOKING FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
Barre Voters Are Bestirring Themselves
After Failure to File.

People Of both political parties in
Barre are bestirring themselves to get
a candidate or candidates for the Office
Of city representative, in view of the
failure of anyone to file nomination pa
pers within the specified time according
to law. Several names have been men
toned, including T. Ward Carver, w. c.
johnson, jr.. DIR. W ID. Reid. but it is
understood that all of them declined TO
be considered as a candidate.
Lately there has been considerable
sentiment in favor Of sending John w.
Gordon to the House, favorable CON-
ment having been made by members of
both parties. Mr.. Gordon served as sen
ator in 1910 and was one of the leading
members of that body. He has been
connected with legislative affairs for
80 years aud is in close touch with the
present affairs of the state. II is un-
derstood that Mr.. Gordon. when sp-
preached. said he would not enter
contest for the Office but that if any
support for him developed
he would consent TO become a candi-
date.

CITY NAY PUR-
CHASE GOSPEL
VILLAGE "COMlMOlN''
Matter Considered at Special Hearing
Of the Aldermen Last
Evening.

The Barre aldermen held special
hearing at the city council room last
night on a proposal to buy the Gospel
Village common so-called, from the
Barre Congregational church, at which
time abutters, church officers and the
cemetery commissioners were given a
chance to be heard. The property in
question, consisting Of three acres, lies
adjacent to Elmwood cemetery on the
southeast and the cemetery commits
sioners recommended very strongly
that the city come into possession of
the tract.
In fact, the entire sentiment of the
hearing was in favor of the purchase
Of the property by the city. The pro-
ject was precipitated at this time by
the knowledge that the church has put
the property on the market Action
was deferred, however, until next Tues
day, according to agreement of all par
ties concerned, including private
party who is interested in the purchase
Of the property.
The Gospel Village common" is the
tract of land in which the extrsmities
of Hill street connect. The road
through the land is not an accepted
street although it has been used for
public purposes for many years. The
land was decided to the Congregational
society over century ago when the
church edifice Of that denomination
was located there. The place has been
used in recent years for Fairgrounds,
tennis courts, skating Kinks, etc. The
land lies directly In front Of Lincoln
school. II Is probable that the matter
Of purchase will come to head next
Tuesday.

/ Agree as Well with the Stomach.

Chicago, Sept l..-James J. Davis
secretary of labor, announced stand
in favor Of beer for steel mill work
ers in 4 chapter Of the autobiography
of his life, "The Iron Puddler," which
is now on the press
Water doesn't agree with the stom-
ach ais well as does beer. is one sen
tence which Secretary Davis quotes
himself in a conversation with what
he termed an "uplifter.'
"You never worked at terrific mus
cular exertion handling white hot iron
in mill like this" he states. You
haven't got the muscle to do it and, |
doubt If you've the heart.
You cannot know the condition a
man Is in when he hits his hardest
lick here. But they know and ! know.
Some: OF the men think they don't
want to drink water at that time. Ny
pal tells me that his stomach rejects it,
his throat seems to collapse as he
gulps it. But beer he can drink and it
eases him.
In another chapter the secretary
writes:
Capitalism, as the communists call
it, is an important system. But it il
the only system that has banished
famine Under communism and feud-
alism there was hunger.
Mature is using communists. slack
ers, sick men and fools to undermine
the race that has conquered her. The

for nature to strike suddenly with a
famine.
