Flagstaff, Oct. 24.-If you kill
or capture wild duck bearing an
aluminium band around one leg,
having a number on one side, and
on the other a statement request
ing that the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, or, the Bio,
logical Survey, be notified, you are
requested to send this band at
once to Bureau of Biological Sur.
vey, Department of Agriculture,
Washing ton, D. G. This band, if
accompanied with a statement as
to date, place and circumstances
under which the bird was taken,
will be of service to the Survey in
its efforts to determine the long
evity of the individual ducks and
the routes of migration of the
species. The bands are being at.
tached to considerable numbers of
wild ducks of special species which
have been cured of the duck sick
ness prevalent around Great Salt
Lake, Utah, and then released.
The department is particularly
anxious to secure reports from
these birds to determine their com.
plete recovery from the malady
which has killed hundreds of thou.
sands of ducks in Utah.

in Hyde Park Jail awaiting trail at the
December term of County Court. They
were arrested last week on the charge of
having killed and appropriated for fu-
ture use steer belonging to the c. E. &
F. 0. Burt Co. of Stowe. At hearing
conducted by States Attorney Maurice
before Judge Watts in Stowe Monday
sufficient evidence was found to warrant
holding the men in $500 bonds each,
which they were unable to furnish. 1t is
alleged that the men sold the hide of the
animal at Stebbins' market in Stowe and
salted the meat at the home of Chase,
which is the Teveyaw place at the en-
trance to Beaver meadow.
This case brings to mind other losses of
animals, poultry etc., the past few
months. Among the recent cases being a
bull belonging to E. E. Hadley, which
has been missing from the Cleve White

Archie Whittemore. the insane man,
who escaped from the home of his father,
Daniel Whittemore, at Eden Mills, ten
days ago, was found Tuesday afternoon
in hut in the Bigelow pasture four miles
from home. He was discovered by Geo.
O'Brien, who found him asleep on bed
of leaves. He talked nationally with
o. Brien, who in a short time had posse
of hunters with him. He willingly re-
turned home. He was in good health,
having found sustenance in apples, and
beechnuts, with now and then a drink
of milk that he surreptitiousy obtained.
The use of blood hound and clairvoy-
ants were enlisted in the search for him,
but without avail, he being found after
they had departed. 1t was generally
thought that when found he would be
dead from exposure or drowning in the
lake.

improvements at A. C.. Church

The local Advent Christian church,
under the pastorate of Rev. J. J. Bennett,
with his able corps of workers has made
many improvements upon the church
property the past year. Among the re-
cent exterior improvements are new ce-
ment steps and walk and new chimney
from the ground to the top of the church
in the rear. The basement of the church
has also been lowered and is being ce.
mented. Another improvement, which
was brought about through the efforts
of Harold H. Patch was the finishing OH
of a room in the top of the church over
the vestry, which utilizes space hither-
to unused. This is occupied by an en-
thusiastic class of boys organized under
the name of the Loyal Vermont Workers,
and taught by Rev. Mr.. Bennett.
