AConservative SAVINGS Bank

The Hyde Park Savings Bank states its
position very clearly with reference to
safety of management in the following
three paragraphs:
LIST. The high rates of interest which
the Boom Cities of the West pay, have
never tempted it to loan a dollar outside
of Vermont.
2nd. Its loans being all in Vermont,
its officers can personally inspect the Sc
curity offered on each loan and know
both the moral and physical risk attach
ing thereto
3rd. Because of this fact it has never
lost dollar by poor note in the nine
teen years of its existence and before a
depositor can lose dollar, the Bank
must suffer a loss of more than $175 600.
1t pays depostors the highest rate con-
sistent with safety-4 per cent on all de-
posits large or small-and compounds
semi-annually.
1t assures depostors of the absolute
safety of remittances either by check,
postal or express money order or by reg
istered letter.
A postal card on which your name is
written, mailed either to the President,
G. S. Page, or the Treasurer, F. M. Gull
yer, will bring you leaflet showing the
growth, assets, investments, ETC.. of a
Savings Bank conducted upon the theory
that all its loans must be made in Yer
mont to foster Vermont enterprises and
to develop Vermont industries. The
showing is unique and full of interest to
every one interested in Savings Banks.

A Remarkable Savings
Bank Record.

The Burlington Daily News pays its
compliments to the Hyde Park Saw
ngs Bank in the following enthusiastic
anguage: ore
Congratulation to ex-Gov. Carroll S. Page
and his Lamolle County Savings Bank and
Trust Company.
The company with the long name has
passed the million dollar mark-a remarkable
record, considering its environment and the
character OF its clientele. Another remark
able thing is that every cent of this million
dollars is invested in Vermont ito foster YER
mont industries and develop Vermont enter
prises." 1t is stated that the bank does not
own dollar Of doubtful paper and never had
dollars worth of real estate except the bank
building, which was charged to profit and loss
some years ago.
Once more, congratulations
This Bank pays 4 per cent. COM

Worthy of NJ ote.

The Trustees of the Burlington Savings
Bank have declared their semi-annual
dividend payable Jan. LIST at the rate OF
per cent. per annum. The Bank has
had one of the most prosperous years in
its history, having increased in deposits
more than $500, 900 the past six months
and carried good amount to the surplus
fund. This institution is one of the few
large Savings Banks in the country which
has never required notice from its de-
positors, a fact which proves the wisdom
Of its conservative management.

GROWING CHILDREN.
Advice to Mothers of MIddIebury

ADVICE to MotherS OF MtddIebury.
Perhaps the most important principle
involved in the care of a child is proper
nourishment.
How many delicate children do we
meet on our streets with colorless cheeks
and thin little legs and arms. 1t is very
plain to be seen that rapid growth takes
all their strength and their little bodies
are not receiving sufficient nourishment
to make them well, strong and robust.
We want to say to the parents of all
such children in Middlebury that our
delicious cod liver and iron preparation,
Vinol, will build up delicate children,
fill out hollow cheeks and make them
strong, robust and rosy. Vinol makes
new vitality, sound flesh and muscle It's
sue and pure, rich red blood, and child
rem love it. This is because Vinol is a
delicious tasting cod liver preparation
without oil, made by scientific, extrac-
tive and concentrating process from fresh
Gods livers, thus combining with pep
tomato of iron all the medicinal, healing,
body building elements of cod liver oil,
but no oil.
AS body builder and strength crea-
tor for old people, delicate children,
weak. rundown persons, after sickness,
and for chronic coughs, colds, bronchi-
tbs, and all throat and lung troubles,
Vinol is unexcelled. Try Vinol on our
offer to return money if it fails to give
satisfaction. milford r. Burt, Druggist,

Another year will soon be ushered in
with all the hopes and fears that accom-
pany the entry of each one in the cycle.
Whatever has been done the past year for
good or for evil has passed into the "has
been" of dead things. And the incoming
year, fraught with the wonderful posi-
bilities of this twentieth century, is aC
the DOORS ours. And is ours in the
larger sense; we may make or mar with
equal facility. 1t is within the capabili-
ties of each individual to make 1908 a
period of progress or retrogression, of gain
or loss.
In national affairs the country seems
awakened to a consciousness that new
era is being heralded in: one of substan-
tial reform. Statesmen are vieing with
each other for the privilege of leadership
in the greatest country on earth. Re-
formers, sociologists, those who sit upon
the housetops, are laboring with a praise
worthy zeal to direct those of less philos-
optical bent as to the means OF getting
the gr, atest substantial good from the
new period of activity. Common sense
in the great majority of the people is
quick to perceive the chances that the
present time offers and slow to respond
to agitation. The year 1908 is the time,
and the good old United States is the
place. It's ''up to us" for the rest.

The Week Financially.

Holiday trade assumed normal proper
tions this week, partially recovering earl
Ter losses in comparison with previous
years, and in staple lines there was
better movement in response to more
seasonable weather. Although actual
business did not increase in the leading
industries, there was more confident
sentiment regarding the future, numer-
our inquiries encouraging manufacturers
to anticipate steady improvement in
orders early in 1908. Meanwhile inven-
tories are being taken and machinery
thoroughly overhsuled and repaired for
the first time in many years. While
several plants resumed, others were add
ed to the idle list, and tho net change
was small. The best news of the week
was the official report of foreign COM
MERGE in November that far surpassed
any previous monthly record of exports,
and supplied favorable international
trade balance of $93, 655,751 This should
make it possible to retain much of the
net imports of gold that amounted to
$62, 847, 1857. For the last week at this
port alone merchandise exports were $l,-
076, 816 larger than in the same week last
year, while imports decreased So 1898, 304.
Currency still commands small premi-
UNI, facilitating further imports Of
specie, and gross gold in the Federal
Treasury rose above $941 900, 900, while
deposits of public funds in the national
banks increased to $3.50, 900, 900. Rail-
way earnings thus far reported for De-
cember were S.2 per cent. smaller than
last year, but prices of securities re-
covered moderately. Bank exchanges at
New York for the week were 1873 per
cent, less than in 1906, and at other lead
| ing cities there was a loss of 21.6 per
cent.-Dun's.

1t is amusing to observe how many

it is so generally believed that he will not
run again. Everything he does or says

Numerous journals are taking up the
subject of the great loss of life in the
coal mines. The annual death rate in
the coal districts of this country is 3.5 per
1000, nearly four times the rate in the
Belgian mines. A congressional investi-
cation is proposed, and would, no doubt
be good thing; but it is to be hoped
that the real root of the trouble may be
arrived at, to the end that conditions in
the mines may be improved without
bringing up the price of black diamonds
to equal that of the clear ones.

The Union Signal has apparently

peace, goodwill to men and all that,
The idea is as acceptable as it is unique,
coming from this quarter. And it is to
be hoped that this tone will prevail in
the future policies of this otherwise ex-
celent journal, instead of that continued
campaign of vituperation that has such
a tendency to blunt the force of all good
argument. The Signal is the only paper
of its kind in the State, and its real sue

What the controversy over the posi-
ton of the armor belts of our battle
ships may come to, one hesitates to say.
1t is be hoped that no short and ugly
words will be used as the dispute grows
in intensity. That the president himself
has personally looked into the matter is
the statement made by the Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald,
and on the word of lone of the highest
authorities of the government Here is
a statement of fact that somebody of i'm.
portance vouches for =
president Roosevelt, when he reviewed
the fleet on its departure for the Pacific,
especially noted the height of the armor
belts on battleships above the water line.
In every instance this belt was above the
water line, and in most was from three tC
four feet. The complaint has been made
that when the ships are fully loaded the
top of the armor belt lis awash The
ships of Rear Admiral Evans fleet were
as heavily laden when they started at

perhaps more heavily laden, so that the

Many people complain that life is hard
for them, that the difficulties against
which they struggle are too great to be
overcome, that circumstances are always
unfavorable. Such persons should stop
for a moment and think of the hundreds
of thousands of people worse off than
themselves. They will find on examina-
ton that they are to be envied, by COM
parson with the lot of others. They
will discover, also. that others have con-
quered greater difficulties than they have
ever encountered. Take the case of
George Rex Clarke, for example. Clarke
has just been graduated from the Uni
versity of Chicago with the degree of
bachelor of arts. He is an expert tele-
grapher and typist, and excels in Latin,
Greek and French. Incidentally, he is
also one of the most graceful dancers in
the university. Yet Clarke has been
blind from his birth. Other young men
in full possession of all their senses are
disposed to object to the four years col
lege course. They say, some of them,
that it is difficult if not impossible for
them to meet requirements. Many
fail to take degrees. Yet here is a blind
man surmounting all obstacles, including
one greater than any they have to face,
in the usual time and winning higher
honors than most of his associates took.
Mr.. Clarke's case shows once more that
everything is possible to resolution and
persistence. Most people do not use
more than small part of the powers
that dwell in every human being and
failure in life is due more often to laZi-
ness than to incapacity. Even

The Vermont tuberculosis sanitorium
at Pittsford, presented to the State last
week by Senator Redfield Proctor, will
serve as lasting memorial to one who
has in the past given unsparingly of his
life and energy to the State and who has
now given to Vermont an institution, the
value of which it is impossible to meas
ure in mere dollars and cents.
This sanitorium is, in the main, for
treatment of tuberculosis in its earli-
er stages, when there is chance of re-
storing to health the victims of the great
white plague. But this is not alone the
object sought as it will seek to educate
the people along the lines of right living,
thereby preventing the disease which is
such curse and claims so many victims
in our rigorous northern climate.
Here's to unlimited success to those who
have the institution in charge.-Ver-

Suggestions for Our Farmers.

Hampton, Iowa, Chronicle: Iowa's
big black hogs are pouring the
wealth of the nation into the pockets
of the industrious farmer these late
winter days. For the annaul hog
shipping season is now on. Those
last May pigs are heing run through
tile chute, into the wagon and over
to the stockyards 10 be shipped to
Chicago markets. There is nothing
unusual in this, for it has been done
year in and year out since Iowa
fdgmers located here, There is one
distinguishing feature this year, not
So noticeable before and that is in
the size Of the draft sent to the
local bank In payment. For hogs
are selling at better than seven cents
a pound on the Chicago market.
lowa's mammoth corn crop of 1906
was expected to net it's growers about
thirty cents per bushel, but with
pork at high prices the millions of
bushels of corn are making them-
selves worth fifty to sixty cents each.
They are d1opplng back into the
overall pocket, making a poise that
sounds like gold. The result on the
Iowa farmer is that every article be
has for sale is at its highest price.
Not for years have cattle, horses,
machinery and hogs sold for the
prices OF this winter. Seven-cent
pork and other stock CORRESPONDENCE
high makes the Iowa farmer step
high these days. His notes at tile
bank are all paid up and he has
nothing to sell. Prosperity in it's
richest form is his, he is monarch
