The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1904-08-06

Sometimes in passing along the
street meet a man who on the left lap
ell of his coat wears little bronze
button. The coat is often old and rus
ty, the face scanned and furrowed by
the toll and suffering of years. Per-
haps above it hangs an empty sleeve
and below it stumps wooden peg.
But when | meet aman who wears that
button, | doff my hat and stand uncov-
cred in his presence yea, to me the
very dust his weary feet have passed
is holy ground, for l know that man
in the dark hour of the nations peril,
barred his breast to the hell of battle to
keep the flag of our country in the
Union sky. Maybe at Donnelson he
reached the inner trench; at Shiloh
held the broken line: at Chattanooga
climbed the fame swept hill, or storm
ed the Lookout Heights. He was not
born or bred to a soldiers life. His
country's summons called him from
the bench, the mine, the store, the Office,
the college, the sanctuary. He did
not fight for the greed of gold, to find
adventure, or to win renown. He low
ed the peace of quiet ways; and yet he
broke the clasp of clinging arms, turn
ed from the glance OF bewitching eyes,
left goodbye kisses on tiny lipsto look
death in the face on desperate fields.
And when the war was over, he quietly
took up the broken threads of love and
life as best he could, better citizen
for having been so good a soldier

Run on stoclyards Bank.

CHICAGO, Aug. Ca run has be-
gun here on the Drovers' Trust and
Savings bank, located at the main en-
trance of the stockyards. Edward Til
den, vice president of the bank, said {:
"As long as the depositors come they
will get their money The demand is
senseless and is caused by the general
excitement at the yards. At one time
more than 1000 clamoring depositors
were massed about the institution,
while fifty police were ut work to keep
the thrOng in order Meantime the
bank had huge piles of greenbacks
and silver stacked up on the counters.
The officials announced that they
would keep the bank open all night if
necessary. Vice President Tilden de-
clared that the run was started by a
statement made by some irresponsible
person that the bank had loaned all
its money to the packers for the pur.

FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Publisher

Vermont's hills and valleys at the
present time are more profitable as
grazing land for the dairy herds than
for beef cattle. That's the principal
argument against Vermont raising her
own beef. st Adams Messenger.
The editor of the Messenger is auth
OF ity on the subject, but it does strike
layman that with butter at II to 10
cents pound and beef at % cents,
there is more profit in the latter, but
we don't know. Middlebury Register
Good Heavens, Thayer you must be
making dreadfully poor butter if you
can only get y to 10 cents a pound for
it. Take a little more pains in milk
ing the cows, throw out the old fash
lone shallow pans, buy a
nice Z Saval separator, let the
cream properly ripen before
churning, try good commercial but
ter color instead of using carrots,
and see if you cannot get your output
up to a higher standard, We are sell
ing all the butter we can make at p TO
2S cents per pound and can market
more if it is gilt edge, properly sailed
and doesn't taste of old bones and
hair.

Encouraging.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Labor contro-
ver'ics are the most serious drawbacks
to recovery in business, most other i'm
portant factors tending tow rd i'm
prOvement. Despite some reduction in
the yield of wheat crop prospects are
most encouraging and the loss in
quantity of wheat promises to be fully
Offset by higher prices. so that the az

ton to purchase commodities freely.
The course of prices was steadily
downward from March ! to July /. but
during July Dun's Index Number rose
from S97 1872 to 1927 Liabilities Of
commercial failures i'm July were IS
per cent less than in the same month
last year. and many Industrial events
suggested that the bottom point of the
trade depression had been passed. De

mills there is notable increase in ac-
tivity.
Cotton declined upon the publication
of the government report. which show

against SO a month previous, 79.7 a
year ago and S4.3 as the ten year aver

the prospect as favorable to a crop of
100000 bales, provided weather con
ditiOns are not below normal during
the remainder of the season.
Tanners are seeking hides in good
condition. of which the supply is short.
as those taken off by unskilled hands
since the strike began are badly cut

not available.
1t will be some weeks before the
spring wheat uncertainty is removed,

Visit in Dallas.

This eminent and far-famed special

volume of business since coming to
Dallas that he finds it absolutely
necessary to prolong his visit to De-
cember 23rd only 1t is a source OF
qualification to the doctors friends to
know that his skill is being so well

are coming from all parts Of Oregon

cure is effected. The doctors skill is
becoming so we'll known and his cured
patrons so plentiful that his name IS
household treasure in hundreds OF
of homes in this vicinity.
The following recommendations
from men so we'll known as Mr.. Racey
and Mr.. VanOsdol are one of the
strongest reasons why people should
look into the merits of DR.. Darrin S

assistant general passenger agent OF
the Illinois Central System, will ar

Mention of this party was made some

again call the attention Of our citi-
Gems to the Importance of having a
committee to meet the visitors and
present to them in a brief and concise
manner, the many inducements our
town has to offer to the investor. No
opportunity will be had to show the
visitors around the city, but much
may be said to them concerning the
town. We trust our ~public-spirited
citizens will take the matter in hand
and act promptly. Let us meet them
with open hands, and accord them a
true and hearty Southern welcome.
