Bethel Selectman Missing

A despatch to the Rutland Herald,
dated>> Bethel, Sept. 6, says:
The disappearance of Chairman
Charles Batchelder of the local board
of selectmen and the alleged CONVEX
sion of funds of certain trusts in his
keeping have caused the starting of
legal action against Mr.. Batchelder
He is thought to be in Canada. hav-
ing disappeared from Bethel Aug. 26
after an accident to his automobile.
The suits against Mr.. Batchelder
include a petition for divorce brought
by his wife and a suit by the White
River National Bank. The alleged
conversion Of funds has extended over
a period Of several months. A fidelity
company, which furnished bonds for
faithful administration of his trusts,
is to attempt to determine his where
abouts.

a considerable sum in one case. Mr..
Batchelder's duties as head Of the

Not Personal Matter-Fairs and
Games of Chance

Some of the comment on the
action Of Governor Hardness in call
ing on the states attorney of Rutland
county to enforce the law in respect
to games of chance at the fair would
indicate that the matter might be a
personal issue between the chief
executive and the attorney general,
or between the Governor and the Off
GERS of the county. The Herald does
not so understand it.
The law is clear enough, but the
fact is that it's absolute, literal and
punctilious enforcement would oper-
ate to stop number of church and
society fairs from exercising
familiar and almost universally con-
doned source of revenue. If the Gov
ernor commits himself to enforcing
the law meticulously at the state and
county fairs, he may commit the Off
GERS of the law to taking action
against every church fair committee
which sells chances on quilt or
set of dishes, or whatnot.
With this fundamental difference,
however: that the Governor, as the
executive head of the state and chair
man of the board of control, is
directly interested in the fairs which
receive state aid in the form of finan-
cial subsidy for the purpose of adj
vancing agriculture. He might move
to hold back or call for the return of
the state appropriation. He might
also do other things.
Section 354 of the General Laws
of Vermont provides:
"The Governor may employ counsel
in behalf of the state, in any state
department or Office, when, in his
Judgment, the protection of the rights
and interests of the state, demand it.
This has been invoked before now,
sometimes in similar cases and some
times in cases of more Importance,
such as the telephone prosecutions,
instituted by the late Allen M.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

There wouldn't be so much crime
in existence if people had time to go
to work.
1t isn't necessary to remind a good
man that he has a conscience. He
knows it.
A wise man never turns the other
cheek. He gives no cause for the
first swat.
Some men go to the altar in des-
perate fright and to the judge in a
blue funk.
1t will be a relief when Europe
gets on its feet-provided it don't sit
down again.
Some people are both wise and far
seeing. They never advocate giving
the devil his due.
Don't tell other people how much
you are worth. 1t isn't wise to over
shoot the mark

More Thrills Than Advertised
Three Killed In Airplane Drop
Lieutenant B. w. Maynard, known
as the flying parson." war veteran
airman and expert flyer since, met
death at the Rutland Fair Thursday
in misjudged tail spin, from a
height of some 5000 feet to earth.
With him in the airplane was Major
Charles Wood of Ticonderoga and
l.. w. Beyette of Plattsburg, N. Y,
his mechanic. The plane came down
gracefully to within some 800 feet of
earth, when it dropped straight down
for some unforeseen cause and the
three men were almost instantly
killed, when it struck the ground.
Later the same day, Daredevil
Smith of Boston, a noted baloonist,
met instant death, when a parachute
failed to open when he cut loose
from the big balloon, and he fell over
one thousand feet, landing in a
swamp near the fair grounds and
nearly disappeared in the mud and
soft ground, with every bone in his
body broken. Death was instantane-
Gus. He leaves family and was 43
and for ten years had been doing this
stunt of thriller.
There were $4,000 people on the
fair grounds who witnessed both
thrillers. Maynard leaves a wife
and four children. Wood was 26 and
the son of minister. Beyette was
%.
Besides these deaths, Eben C.
Ryder of Middlebury, a noted judge
of stock at fairs, was hit by pro-
truding iron on a car driven by
Frank Hayward of East Washington.
He was standing near the gate when
hit and was rendered unconscious.
He was chief marshall of the fair.

Discovered Great Stone Face

A great stone face has been discov-
cred in the village of Hinesburg. 1t
is located in the south end of the viii
lage and faces south, sort of guard
ian of the south portal of the town.
1t is from the west that the features
are clearly seen. Topping a good
sized rock on the land of 7. J..
Mckenzie, and about 100 feet from
the main road the clean-cut lines of
a mans head are plainly discernible.
The chin is very prominent. The
mouth is wide, the nose slightly
hooked and the eye very clearly cut
in the face. This freak of nature is
fully as plain to the eye as the
famous "Old Man of the Mountain"
near the Profile House in the White
Mountains. Hinesburg's great stone
face was discovered, it is claimed, by
d. c. Stone, harness maker in that
village. He has called the attention
of number of people to it, among
them the Rev. G. G.. Cornell, pastor
of the church at Hinesburg, who
took some snapshots of the face.
How long the face has been discern
ible in Hinesburg is not known, as
it is only recently that it has drawn
attention.

LAST SHIP WITH
SOLDIER DEAD
LEAVES FRANCE
Vessel Sails for America From
Brest With I,500 Bodies OF
Americans.

/ Paris, March 1.-THE work OF
returning to the United States the
bodies of American soldiers who
died in France was completed to-
day with a final shipment of l 500
bodies from Brest for New York
rms brings the total number of
american bodies returned to 45'O23.
The simple announcement OF the
completion OF the task marks the
close of one OF the most trying and
difficult problems ever placed be-
fore the American army. The
American graves registration ser
vice, the special branch of the army
organized for the purpose, began
work in February, 1920.
Agents of that service will now
go to England and assemble 81
American bodies destined for shin
ment to America These were
American soldiers who died in
widely scattered parts of Ireland.
Scotland, Wales and England. Five
hundred other bodies of Americans
whose relatives have decided to
leave them in England, will be con-
centrated in a beautiful little per-
manent cemetery at Brookwood,
Surrey, England, the British gov
eminent having given the site. This
work will be completed by July

plans called for the expenditure Of
nearly $4,000, 900 but in the inter-
est of government economy this
sum has been reduced to about
81 ,0O0, 900.
Work will begin Immediately aft
er this appropriation is made by
congress. Colonel H. F. Rethers.
who has been in charge of the
graves registration work, probably
will direct the work.
The four fields of honor are
Suresnes cemetery, near Paris;
Bony, near St Quentin; Belleau
Wood, near Chateau-Thierry; and
the Argonne or Romagne cemetery
near Romagne-sous-Mon
For the latter a scheme has been
worked out which will make it very
much like Arlington cemetery.
Each cemetery is to have a rest
house and chapel for visitors and
every grave will be marked with a
uniform headstone.
One of the most touching features
of the four cemeteries has been the
way the French people have made
them their own
Sunday never goes by without
scores of French people visiting
them and placing flowers on the
graves. This manifestation of
friendship and appreciation caused
many relatives to leave the bodies
in France.
The identifying of the fields OF
honor will take two years but a
great deal Of preliminary work has
already been done and the Ceme-
teries in their present state are i'm
pressive.
When the graves registration
service began its work, the bodies
were in more than 500 cemeteries
scattered in every part of France.
Alsace-LOrraine and Germany. Sew
eral thousand men were employed
under the direction of American
army officers.
Concentration of bodies in the
four fields of honor has been com
pleted. The graves registration
service will maintain a permanent
Office in Paris for the coRle=.@nsee
of American visitors.
