SERVED WITH WARRANT.

A warrant charging violation of the
federal statute relative to making false
entries with intent to deceive was served
Monday forenoon by United States
Marshall Arthur F. Carpenter on George
c. Averill, who resigned on May 10 the
presidency of the Vermont National
Bank of Brattleboro. The warrant was
issued following the indictment returned
by the federal grand jury in Rutland on
Saturday. Mr.. Averill left on the IL
O'Clock train for ST. Johnsbury to fur
nish bail before Judge Harland B. Howe
for appearance at the adjourned session
of the federal court in Rutland on
November 80. William H. Proctor and
George l.. Durham, two of the town
strongest business men, will become
surety. There is no charge of misuse or
misrepresentation of funds, and in a
statement issued from the Office of Mr.
Averill's attorney, Clark C. Fits, it is
stated that any claimed errors or mis-
statements in the reports to the comp
troller are not matters which have been
at all concealed from the government
officers and that Mr.. Averil's method of
handling the banks affairs have been
known to the government officials in
previous administrations.

FARM VALUES INCREASE.

The steady increase in values of Yer
mont farms is one of the interesting
signs of the times. 1t is said on good
authority that the value of many farms
in this state has increased from Is to %
per cent during the last few years, says
the Montpelier correspondent of the
Springfield Republican.
R al estate agencies have sprung up
along the northern border within the
last year or two and are doing a large
business, chiefly with French Canadian
customers. While these sales are more
frequent in the northern part of the
State, they are not confined to that re-
gion by any means. This rise in values
is not of speculative nature, but is
based on farm incomes.
Prices of farm produce and live stock
have climed steadily upward in recent
years. The average value per acre of
Vermont farms is smaller than that of
farms in the middle West to a certain
extent, because part of almost every
Vermont farm contains some woodland
and pasture land that cannot be titled.
That condition of Vermont agricul-
tue has improved notably in the last
decade or two, and continues to i'm

boys chest. He lived with his grand
parents in Waterford, where the acct

PRISONERS OF WAR
Code of Honor by Which Their Treat
ment Is Governed

In ancient times prisoners of war
were killed unless, of course, the bel
ligerents found it more profitable to
exchange or liberate them for ransom.
But to-day nations are bound to one
another by a code of honor which for
bids inhuman treatment of prisoners.
Prisoners are subjected to no pun.
ishment in any form. Neither must
they be placed in convict prison, al
though they may be detained in q
supply of nourishment must be provid-
ed then by their captors, and they are
regarded as being in the power of the
government of the captor and not un-
der the control of those who actually
capture them.
All personal belongings remain in
the custody of the prisoner, but arms,
horses and military papers can be con-
fiscated, these constituting booty.
Governments can put their prisoners
of war to work, but only such work 'as
accords with the prisoner s rank and
capacity; also the work must not be
excessive or relate to military matters,
and in all cases must the labor be paid
for.
A prisoner always lives in hope of
being exchanged for prisoner of his
own government. The exchange is eff
fected in accordance with agreements,
in which time, place and method of ex-
change are fully detailed. This is gen.
orally that of strict equivalents, man
for man, rank for rank, disability for
disability.
An officer can obtain a greater free
dom of movement or certain privileges
while being prisoner of war if he
makes out parole, written or verbal
promise. An officer giving his parole
pledges his honor to refrain from a par
ticular course of conduct, and if he
makes breach of this guarantee he is
liable to the extreme penalty.-Pear-
son IS Weekly.

LONG HAIR AND LONGEVITY

was any relation between a fine. bushy
head of white hair aud the long life
of the ownerl

fear of successful refutation that a
very large majority of men who have
PASSED the age of so years have o.
had a goodly show of hair on the
crown OF top of their heads. / by
no means claim that this is universal,
for it is easy to recall men who lived
TO even greater age than so who were
quite bald.
Without any attempt at chronolog-
ical list, l jot down few names that

1t would be easy to name quite a

Governor Brumbaugh issued the follow

This evening the joint legislative

the Governor, in a three-hour confer
ence, went over substantially all the
provisions of a workmen compensa-
tion act. We agreed upon its cardinal

pared by the Attorney General. The
bill, together with reasons for and
against each section, will be issued next
week. in pamphlet form for distribu
tion to all the members of the Assem-
by and the newspapers of the State
The unanimous judgment was that in
this way the people would know in ad-
vance exactly what the act is, and what
arguments may be, made for and
against each section. Wide publicity
is believed to be the only corrective of
needless apprehension and the true way
to secure speedily a fair and certain

A WAVE OF SUICIDES
Only Known Cause for Latest Schaef-
ferstown Death

Schaefferstown,v Pa, Feb. 1S.-De-
vclopments in the suicide of Frank
krumbine, the Heidelberg township
farmer and tobaceo grower, show that
he was impelled to commit the act as
victim of the suicidal wave which
started thirteen days ago with that of
Alvin Binner, cashier of the First Ma
tional bank, rather than because of
any real financial troubles.
There is mortgage on the Krum-
bine farm of 60 acres and there are
notes outstanding.
Krumbine's father-in-law, John
Henry Roger, is wealthy Mill
Creek township farmer, and for months
he had been urged to sell his farm
and take over the management of the
large Royer farm.
Every one of the notes Krumbine
gave is amply secured, and it is de-
elared there was no disposition on the
part of any cf his creditors to push
him for the money.
Officials of the First National bank
here continue to maintain the strictest
silence concerning its affairs, and it
was impossible to learn whether it
holds any of Krumbine' s notes.

april 9 Will Be BIRD DAY
Clubs Are Being Organized All Over
the State for Observance
of the Event

The setting apart of April to be
recognized as "Brd Day. this year
is meeting with warm commendation
among lovers of birds the State over.
and the indications are that the date
will be very generally observed.
Bird clubs are beng organized all over
the State, the object being to study
and protect all song and insectiverous
birds. In circular just issued DIR. H.

who is an authority on birds, says:
''This bird club is not confined to
any one section of the country in its
membership, and in its organization
has received the support of prominent
persons all over the country. As it
has for its design only the purpose of
studying and protecting the birds, it
is worthy of support.
The program for Bird Day can
well include songs, recitations cou-
cerning birds, essays en- the value of
birds and the methods of inducing
them to live around the premises; the
methods of observing birds; where,

nest; their food and economic value,
and any other topics that will sug-
gest themselves to thinking persons.
There can be no doubt of the fact
that the birds were placed under the
dominion of mankind, the same as are
all other creatures, but we have failed
to provide for their preservation. In
the so-ealled march of civilization their
nesting conditions have been de-
stroyed, the native shrubs and trees
furnishing them food have been cleared
away to make room for cultivated
plants, the house cat has been intro
duced into this country and allowed
to roam at will. While other creatures
coming under the direct influence of
man have been domesticated and in
