We hardly think that bounty of 50 cents each will hasten the destruction of the eagles. The truth of the matter is that almost every hunter takes a shot at them now and then just for luck. They make an excellent target, and are generally despised because of their murderous habits. Neither senti- ment nor the fact that they appear on the reverse side of fcur-bit piece will protect them.

Greeks Preparlnu for War.

There are just about 100 Greeks now
living in Bellows Falls and North wal
pole, and they are much interested in
the progress of the war cloud in their
own country. They are all young men of
military age, and there are as yet not
more than four or five women here of
that nationality. The laws of their
country require them all to respond to
any call for military service. on Sep
TENDER 25 they all received what they
call their first CALI which was for all
members of their militia, or what COM
pares with our militia, to return at once,
and the only two of that class started
at once for home. All others are re-
CURED to be ready for the second call"
by ARA angling all business matters so they
can leave Immediately when wanted, and
they are expecting that call every day.
They estimate that the second call will
take at least so of them.
Practically all those resident here are
members of the Panhellenic Union of
America. a patriotic society loyal to
their country, and at a meeting held Sat

their trip home If called for. More has
been raised since. George Chressanthis

pany has made his arrangements for a
manager to conduct his business should
he be called. AS a class the Greeks are
making excellent citizens. Seven of them
are in business for themselves on or near
the square and the rest are laborers,
largely in paper mills. AS laborers the
employers feel they are much more than
the average in reliability and amount of
work accomplished.

received:
