TO SAVE THE BIRDS.

Until quite recently, Marsh Island,
which lies off the coast of Louisiana
near New Orleans, was known to few
people in the country at large; now, to
lovers of bird life in all parts of the
United States, it has suddenly become
an interesting and important place.
The purchase of it, for $150,000 gener-
ously given by Mrs, Russell Sage of
New York, is considered the longest
step yet taken in the effort to save the
birds.
The island, which contains $4,000
acres, has long been a famous feeding
ground in the winter for the migratory
birds that make their summer home in
the upper Mississippi valley; and here
after it will be a refuge for them,
where the market-hunter and the
pume-gatherer will not be permitted to
keep up their pitiless work of destruc-
ton.
Along the New England coast, and in
few other places, bird refugees have
already been established; but there
should be many more of them, both at
other points on the coast and in the
interior. They are especially needed in
the South, where the birds gather in
large focks in winter, and where the
game laws are so inadequate as hardly
to protect the birds at ALL Each year
millions of game birds and song birds
are slaughtered in the South. In Louis.
lana alone, the official returns have
shown that four and quarter million
game birds have been killed in one
for turning Marsh Island into a birC
sanctuary clear.
The grounds for saving the vanishing
bird life of America are not merely sen
timental, although sentiment by itsel
would Justify all the efforts of the Au
dobon society and other protective
bodies. The enormous annual los
caused by various insect pests is tn
penalty that the farmers-and indi
rectly the whole country-pay becaus
the birds have been wantonly destroyed
Since some of these States lack tn
laws needed to protect migratory birds
national law has been urged; if sue
law is to have its greatest effect,
must be passed soon; otherwise som
species will be wholly extermnated.
1t has been proposed that the newl
acquired refuge be turned over, not
any private association that has bee
formed for protecting birds, but to tn
care of the government. The propose
suggests kind of work that later tn
government may undertake on a large
scale. Youths Companion.

of Or. w H. H. Varney and Mrs.
Varney was celebrated Monday evening
at their home at East Charlotte. About

TWENTY KILLED.
British Ship Loaded With ExpIo
sives Blows up at Baltimore.

Baltimore, March THE British
steamer Alum Chine, loaded with dyna-
mite for use on the Panama canal was
wrecked by an explosion followed by
fire today in the lower harbor here off
Hawkins Point.
According to the police, four men
were killed and 25 were injured. The
rest of the people on board the stesmer
saved themselves by jumping overheard
and were picked up by launches and
tugs.
A barge lying alongside the steamer,
containing $40 tons of dynamite which
was being transferred to the steamer
was completely destroyed. 1t is believed
that the first explosion occurred on the
barge.
The force of the explosion swept
away the upper work of the United
States collier Jason, killing three men
and injuring 20 others. The Jason was
about 700 feet distant from the Inflated
craft at the time. She had just beer
completed and was soon to have ar
official government trial trip.
Six of the members of the crew
of the tug Atlantic, lying along
side of the Alum Chine were killed anC
the tug was practically destroyed, &C
cording to latest reports this afternoon
The list of dead is placed at 20 and the
injured at 40. Of the latter, ten of The
Jason's crew are said to be fatally hurt
Forty stevedores are unaccounted TO
and if they were on the steamer, it il
considered certain that they persisted.

FILLS ONE PULPIT 60 YEARS.

Rev. Edward ROBBIE of Greenland
N. H., is said to possess the distinction
of having the worlds record for the
length of time in which he has filled one
pulpit.
Rev. DR.. ROBBIE, now in his 93d year,
not long ago took special course at
Harvard university, although he had
then been nearly 60 years a pastor in
the little Rockingham county town.
Remarkably preserved, he still re-
tains great deal of his youthful vigor.
A short time ago, the one member of
his original congregation who still sur
vived was taken i'll and died. The
passing on of this estimable woman
places DIR. ROBBIE in the unique position
of having outlived his entire congrega-
ton.

VETERAN VERMONTERS.

Former Governor Samuel E. Pingree
of White River junction was at last
town meeting elected town clerk of the
town of Hartford, in which the village
of White River Junction is located, for
his 51st term in that office.
This suggests that fact that Vermont
has wonderful quartette of octogena-
rian observation-disclosures. Pingree, Stew
art, Barstow and Mccullough. Messrs.
Barstow and Pingree did valiant SER
vice in the War of the Union, each
winning distinction on the field of
battle. Gov. Mccullough saw some
stirring days in the California of 1849,
and Gov. Stewart has had civil career
such as falls to the lot of few men.
All these men have deserved well of
the State, and the entire commonwealth
will wish them many added days of
health and strength.
Vermont, by the way, has thirteen
living ex- Governors- Stewart, Barstow,
Pingree, Ormsbee, Dillingham;, Page,
Woodbury., Grout, Smith, Stickney
Mccullough, Prouty and Mead, one ex
Congressman and ex-U. S. Senator
Stewart, one ex-senator, Edmunds
two present U. S. Senators, Dillingham;

AUTOMOBILE RUNNING
MORE EXPENSIVE
Owners Required to Have
Licenses

Albany, Feb. %. The registration
fees of pleasure automobiles will he
doubled, and owners as well as chauf-
feurs will be required to have license,
if a series of automobile law amend
ments recommended by Secretary of
State May are passed. They were in
troduced today by Senator McClelland
and Assemblyman Levy.
Under the proposed laws the pleasure
car registration fees will be from $40 to
$50 according to the horsepower, and
the commercial car rating will be
changed from fiat rate Of S. to S. a
ton for six tons and $40 a ton for cars
over six tons.
In securing a license the owners eX-
animation will be of perfunctory ma
ture, but the chauffeur's examination is
made more rigid than at present. An
owner may permit members of his fam
lily to run a car, providing they are
examined and licensed, and he agrees
to be personally responsible for any
accidents that may occur. No other
person is permitted to run the car ex-
cept non-resdents licensed or registered
under laws which are substantially the
same as those of this state. An owner
must file the name, age and certificate
of character of his chauffeur. Any
operator of car must be at least eigh-
teen years old.
Mufflers are required to prevent 'un-
necessary noise" ard sirens are pro-
hibited. A speed of more than twenty
five miles an hour in the open country
and fifteen miles in built up commune
ties may be evidence of a violation Of
the law. At present speed of more
than thirty miles is made presumptivt
evidence of violation. At all times ;
reasonable and proper" speed, il
accordance with the width, traffic anC
use of the highway, is required.
Under the proposed laws, New Yorl
City would be prohibited from passing
an ordinance affecting the speed ant
traffic of automobiles. Local ordinance
in all communities, in fact, are prohibit
ed, except those relating to the licens
power within the community.
Fines for violations of the law are in
creased. An intoxicated operator o
speeder may be fined 5000 or receive 81
months Imprisonment. There is no a
tentative for imprisonment for secon
offence.
Running away after an accident
made punishable by fine of 500 fo
the first offence and $3.50 for the secorc
to be collected by the Attorney Genera
h The courts are required to supply tn
: Secretary of State with all records c
S these cases.
y The Secretary of State is to hav
+ power of suspension or revocation of
censes, with or without hearing, fC
n cause. An intoxicated operator {
e speeder is liable to have his license r.
r voked Immediately.

Does High Rate of In
terest Mean Poor
Security

There are certain banking maxims
which have come to be generally re-
cognized. When school boy starts
in higher mathematics, he is taught
that there are certain fundamental
rules called axioms, as, for instance,
"the whole is equal to the sum of all
its parts" or "a straight line is the
shortest distance between two points,"
Bankers recognize axioms in banking
just as much as mathematicians recog-
nize mathematical axioms in Algebra,
and one of the axioms in banking is
this "high interest rates mean doubt
full or poor security"
1t does not necessarily follow that
notes bearing 10 per cent interest may
not be good, but very conservative
bankers recognize the fact that there
are risks attending paper paying 1c.
per cent interest which do not attend
notes bearing half that rate.
There is probably no bank in YER
mont, and perhaps not one in New
England, that banks on investments
paying as low an average rate of inter-
est as the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
Its average rate on deposits, bonds and
notes for the year ending December
3Ist, 1912, was five and forty-six one
hundreths (5.46) per cent.
Cities, towns and villages know that
they can go to the Hyde Park Bank
and get per cent. money. The bank
invites correspondence with Selectmen
and Village Trustees desiring at any
time 10 make either temporary or long
time loans.
The Bank carries continuously one
hundred thousand dollars with two
Boston and New York banking houses
at W per cent, the loan being strictly
on call and secured by a pledge of
. gilt-edged municipal bonds, bonds
which are legal investment for YER
, mont savings banks to own.
The question may tie asked why the
bank pursues this course when it might
S just as readily place its money at six
4 per per cent, thereby enabling the
: bank to declare larger dividends to its
.. stockholders. The reply is that the
8 stockholders are satisfied with the
dividends which the bank is able tc
g pay as the business OF the bank is now
g conducted.
