day afternoon at o'clock from his late
home, Rev. A. w. Hewitt officiating.
The burial was in the village cemetery.
Mr.. Cree was born in East Montpelier

eral years ago. Mr.. Cree was success
full farmer and was held in high esteem

not undertake to prosecute the person
who obtained the body, even if he knew
their identity. which he did not, beyond
the fact established by General Bliss re-
port that they were civilians and prob
ably Mexicans.
The finding of the body of yergara
has had the result of advancing the
prosecution of the claim against the
Huerta government for reparation, and
yesterday Secretary Bryan transmitted
the telegraphic report from Consul Gar
rett to Charge O'Shaughnessy in Mexico
City 1t is understood that the primary
purpose of this is to disprove the orig
inal allegation of the Mexican command

made his escape from captivity and
joined the constitutionalists. With the
body in evidence, as soon as further
facts as to the character of Vergara'
fatal wounds are developed by the in
vestigation Governor Colquitt is now
making. Mr.. O'Shaughnessy will be pre-
pared to call upon General Huerta to re-
deem his promise to punish the fed
erals who killed Vergara.

TO SUE TOBACCO COMPANY.
Attorney General McReynolds Decides t.
Take Action.

Washington, ID. c., March ll.-Attor-
ney- General McReynolds last night de-
cided to prepare suit against the Metro
politan Tobacco company of New York
under the Sherman antitrust act. The
decision was based upon evidence OF al
legged restraints of trade by the Metro
politan company, laid before Mr.. Nc
reynolds yesterday by II. Snowden Mar
shall. United States district attrney at
New York, and his assistant, c. A
Thompson, who has had charge of the
investigation of the case.
The principal complaint against the
Metropolitan company is alleged diserim-
nations against independent tobacco
dealers. The Metropolitan acts as the
distributing agents for producing com.
panies that made up the old tobacco
trust" and while it would be the prin'
cipal defendant in suit brought by the
government, the producing companies
would necessarily be parties to the ac.
ton.
The question of criminal prosecution
Of the officials of the companies was
not settled yesterday. Mr.. Marshall re
turned to New York last night, but Mr.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-03-11

Thompson remained in Washington and
will discuss the case further tomorrow
with G. C. Todd, the assistant to the at
torney general in charge of trust prose
cutions.
The Metropolitan company has been
under investigation by the department
for several months. Independent deal
ers have charged that its grip on the
business of Greater New York, Long Is
land and Jersey City is firm and power
full, and that they are in worse condi-
ton than before the supreme court or
dered the dissolution of the old Ameri-
can Tobacco company.
According to Mr.. Marshall's report, in
vestigation has shown that the Metro
politan company sells to independent
iobbers at the same rate it sells to re-
tailers, so that jobbers are compelled,
if they handle Metropolitan goods at all,
to handle them at no profit.
The fact that there have been some
negotiations between officials of the to-
bacco companies and representatives of
the department was pointed out last
night as reason for believing that the
entire matter might be settled out of
court
Independent dealers, however, have
charged that nothing but the elimna-
ton of the Metropolitan company would
restore competition to the Greater New
York field.

OFFICIALS SATISFIED.
By Reports of the Recovery of vergara's
Body.

Washington, d. c., March ll.--Com-
prehensive reports from Brigadier-Gen-
cral Bliss, commanding the American
border patrol, and from American Con
sui Garrett at Laredo, received at the
war and state departments yesterday
cleared up the mystery which had sur
rounded the delivery on American soil
of the body of the ranchman, Clemente
Vergara. The reports completely salts
fled the officials that no act has been
committed by national or state agents
in violation of Mexican sovereignty, and
that if there was any offense in the re-
moval of the body from Mexico, it was
committed by individuals, so the mat
ter could not be made an international
issue.

 The choicest of repasts-ice cream and cake-was served in the domestic science room. Both assembly room and kitchen were made bright by great yellow punches of jonquils and buttercups. The delicious cakes were made by the high school girls.

will result in repetitions of like char acter that will be felt elsewhere in the school system. Eternal vigilence over the child's environment, parental love, and the best possible advantages under God given opportunities, is the price of children Any parent worthy of the name should be willing to pay the price. To this end the schools of Hot Springs are earnestly striving, and to this goal the teaching force of Hot Springs are anxiously aspiring. To- ward such a realization an earnest co-operataion of parents will mate rially hasten.
 To this end I speak especially for the high school faculty. Respectfully,

This is what the children in the second, third and fourth grades of Ramble school are no wengaged in 'swatting the fly" In answer to the call from the Civics League for dead flies, these three grades, with the as- sistance of their charming and re- sourceful friend Mrs. Anna Gill, got together a quantity of screen wire, slit boards and tacks and began at once making fly-swatters. The girls showed themselves to be almost as adept as the boys in the bit of handi- craft.
 The children appreciate fully the two-fold value of this enterprise It is a similar case to the killing or two birds with one stone" Though perhaps it doesn't sound as elegant to say it is killing two flies with one

THE PRICE OF CHILDREN.

When God gave the parent children. true 1t is that His gift was for the parents pleasure and enjoyment. But this gift was meant not as a toy play thing but was meant as a gift for eompaniable and higher pleasure that only children can bring
 When God endowed the parent with aa offspring He placed upon the par. ent certain grave responsibilities, namely the task of rearing the off spring to the best practicable realiza- tioH-of it's possibilities in citizen ship

 lnalienable Rights of Childhood.
 Every child, in the language of our American constitution. comes into
 
 alenable rights" and among these are life, fresh air parental love and the possibilities of an education that will fit it for the highest duties of life and help it live while being fitted. Never before in the history of the world have the opportunities for an education been so generously be- slowed Possibly we may also Say that never before has the greed for the almighty dollar been so ravenous. Hence the trouble seems now that the parent cares probably less for the welfare of his child but the more for the greed of the almighty dollar.
 Is it not fact that too large a percentage of the parents in District No 6 think more for the welfare of their stock, crops or business than they do for the welfare of their chil- drel? The writer is tempted to be- lleve that a certain lady whom he saw on Central avenue some time ago thought more of her curly haired dog than she did of her own sweet curly haired baby, for she seemed to devote her attentions to her canine and was content to risk the welfare of her child to a colored woman and bottle of milk.
 Making School Secondary
 Parents, do you know through your own personal investigation whether your boy or girl is getting the best out of school that a properly con ducted school system in store for him or her? If not. Why not? When you fequest for Johns or Mary's permis- sion to leave school to run errands, or Tor trifling reasons oftep only be- cause the child asks it-do you real lze that you are in significant man. her, 10 the child at least, asse1ting to the cAiId's opinion that school is more or less an institution of secondary and one that may at will be subordi mated to his or her will? No student can ever attain the highest goal of school possibilities while his or her mind is pregnant with such an CT Ioneous idea of our educational iast tutions.

 Limited Study Hours.
 High school begins at S:55 a. m and closes at p/m. Why cant the parent see that his boy or girl makes the necessary engagement with the doctor or the lawyer, or the business tor professional call at hours other than school hours? There may be cases when it is absolutely necessary that the student leave school during school hours; if so, the management will be only too glad to cooperate for the best interests of the ones con- cerned on such cases of real eXcep- tions. It was decided in faculty meeting shat each room teacher would help students to arrange a regular period of study hours-a students recitation schedule. Par ents therefore should not value too lightly the study peCods of the stu dent and ask that he or she be ex- cused on the grounds that the stu dent has a study period, for if the student misses the regular study period the chances are thata the les sons that should have been regularly prepared at that study period will never be properly prepared. Besides the loss that has resulted to the stu dent. the request that in all proba bility was practically unnecessary,
