1923. Lyman j. Gage, Chicago bank

Mrs. Anna [. Atkins, wife of Mr.. W. J. At
kins of Stowe, Vt, died at her home in Stowe
Oct 10, after a brief but painful illness. She
was born in Waterbury, Vt, in 1870, and
there spent her years until her marriage to
Mr.. Atkins. Her maiden name was Clough.
OF several brothers and sisters. only one re-
mains to mourn her loss, the Hon. c. F.
to Mr.. Atkins she lived tor a time in Water
bury, Ninooski. and Morrsvie respectively,
and finally at Stowe, where she spent all her
later years. ever loved and respected by all
who knew her All her later years were years
of much suffering, caused by a complication
of diseases that hattled the skill of her physi-
clans, but through it all she was patient and
accomplishing, and ever gave the little
strength she could command to the help and
comfort of her family. Three children were
born to her of whom only one survived, Mrs.
Charles Bruce of Stowe. The death of a son,
that grew to manhood, caused in her heart a
sorrow that she could never set aside, and
which led her to the shedding OF many u bit
ter tear. Naturally of a social disposition
and alive to all that pertained to the life,
welfare and happiness of the community in
which she lived, it was her greatest cross not
to be able to more actively participate in the
labors incident to that life welfare and hap
piness. Her funeral was held from her late
home amidst a large concourse of her neigh
bors, relatives and friends The services were
conducted by Rev. DR.. Booth of Morrisville,
assisted by Rev. H. A. Abbott of Stowe. Her
remains were inferred in Greenwood Gene
terry, of which she had often spoken, "What a
lovely spot in which to be laid to rest" A
brothea, a husband, daughter, and a host of
admirng friends are left to mourn her
absence. Above her grave may well be writ
ten-"A noble life well spent. Sweet and
generous be thy reward"

Professors and Postal Banks,

Simply as an expression from
men who are trained to deal with
problems and to form their opin-
ions from conviction, the opinions
of the fourteen professors Of North

are of interest. Each of them gave
his Endorsement to the project and
apparently took pleasure in doing

proved the plan from keen per-
sonal sense of its need Just as bus
mess men have indorScd it as the
