NCxInICE
TO Bennington County Investors
$4,000 BONDS

According to plans the Bennington
Graded School District will issue
$4,000 per cent. bonds dated Oct.
/, 1914. Interest payable April l and
Oct. / each year. The trustees have
assurances that most of this amount
will be taken by people who already
hold 4 per cent. school orders. The
suggestion has been made that the
small investor might like the oppor-
tunity of taking one or more 500
bonds. The small denomination bond
movement has gained surprising
Roadway during the last year. These
500 bonds would have the same Sc
curity as the larger denominations
and would be an approved investment
for trust funds, Savings banks, lnsur-
ance companies and conservative In
vestors, we'll secured and free OF all
taxes. The Trustees desire to make
II possible for the small investor to
buy a good 800. bond and IL there is
a considerable demand for them, they
will arrange to have certain
amount prepared In that form.
Bennington money has helped us
thus far and now we want you to
have the first opportunity of securing
these bonds before negotiating for
their sale in the bond market.
II you want a 800. or $1,000
bond Oct. !. s1914, and have not said
SO. please give us your name and the
amount now, SO that We may COM
plete arrangements.

Col. Harvey on Diplomats.

The Herald on Sunday presented a
studious review of President Wilson's
work in the diplomatic service, from the
pen of Col George Harvey. II was most
Illuminating. In South America, where
the administration should have put its
best loot forward, the contrast between
the men who have been turned out OF
Office and those who have just gone in
is pitiful.. The old group averaged more
than fifteen years of experiences IN the
services. Every one of them spoke the
language of the country to which he
was accredited. Their average age at
the time of expulsion was only forty
five. whereas the new men now average
ffty-four and one half; no one OF them
understands Spanish and none has had
any diplomatic experience. Thus twelve
trained and capable representatives,
several of whom entered the service on
competitive examination, and all OF
whom had long since forsaken PARTISAN
ship, have been superseded by party
hacks, whose age clearly disqualliies
them for continuance in office a sum
Gent time to equip themselves Tor the
proper performance OF their duties.
Hanpily, the entire diplomatic estab-
lishment is not so bad as this, and Col.
Harvey is entirely Just in according
credit where credit is due. If you failed
to read the article, be sure to get It. u

which YOU cannot afford to miss.-Bos-

URGING VILLA
Va TO GIVE UP BODY
Importance of Surrendering Benton's Re
mains and Proving His Contention
Is Being Impressed on Him.

Washington, d. c., Feb. %. Further
representations made by the American
government to-day to General Francisco
Villa pointing out the importance of Civ
ing up the body of William $. Benton
the British subject recently executed at
,Iuarez. whose death is being officially
investigated by both the United States
and Great Britain.
Immediately upon receipt OF word from
Consul Letcher at Chihuahua that Ben
tons body would be exhumed for the
benefit of Benton's wido@ and relatives,
who could visit the cemetery with an
American representative, second appeal
went forth to Villa asking that the
corpse be turned over to the widow on
American territory.
Villas refusal to accede to the request
for the body was not met with favor by
officials here who are seeking to impress
upon him through Consul Letcher, the
Importance the world generally viii at
taeh to such refusal. Upon the character
OF the wounds found on the body rests
the proof OF Villas version OF the kill
ing. Ii the body is found riddled with
rifle bullets, the officials think the story
of the execution after eourt-martial will
be confirmed.
