The Kind of Savings Bank for
Vermont.

The Brandon Union thinks that the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company typifes the kind of Bank
which Vermonters should be interested
in. 1t says:
On July IL the assets of the Hyde Park
Bank passed the 81, 100000 mark. Bear
in mind that this is an all Vermont
institution, not dollar gifts capital is
or ever has been invested out of Vermont
and it - holds the enviable record of
never having lost a dollar by poor
note. An institution of this kind is, OF
course, of great value end convenience
to Vermont and Vermonters. If an
individual or corporation has assets and
needs cash they can get it, and at a low
rate. The average depositor wants his
money where it is absolutely safe and
also where he can get it on call.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. compound
ed semi annually on deposits of 500 or
more, remaining in the bank one full
year.

A Novel Scheme in Managing Say
ingS Banks.

This is what the Wilmington Times
calls the policy of the Hyde Park Saw
ings Banks practice of investing all it's
funds in Vermont. 1t says:
A novel scheme in banking is that of
the Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company of Hyde Park, Vermont,
in devoting its entire assets to the foster
ing of Vermont enterprises and develop
ing Vermont industries. That the scheme
is safe as well as novel, is proved by the
fact that in the Is years since its organ
ization the bank has never lost dollar
on poor note, nor has it now, so far as
is known, a single piece of poor or doubt
full paper
The Bank pays per cent compounded
semi-annually on deposits of 500 or
more, remaining in the bank one full
year.

Not Specific ENOUGH.

| The ST Louis Globe Democrat. Il
stancb Republican. organ grinder. con
tanned recently this hazy editorial par
agraph:
Our commerce with Japan amounts to
500 600 600 year with exports and i'm
ports well divided. One item like this is
worth more than all the vague war talk
Who talked the war talk? And was
1t SO vague as the CD. would have IFS
believe? Not very much. provided the
public press can be depended on to tel
the plain. unvarnished truth. Colone.
Theodore Roosevelt. president of the
United States. and his coterie of syco
plants are the persons who talked wa
more than anybody else. They do sa
that when he was shaking the big stict
over the Californians at the Wh:s
House the picture of the Japs Smelling
San Francisco which he drew for the
benefit of Mayor Schmitz and the Cali
fornia congressman and senators ca,1s
ed each particular hair to stand on enc
as quilts upon the fretful porcupine
He bullied them into accepting the
very thing which they soleinnly swort
from the Golden Gate to the Potomac
that they would die before accepting. If
the GID. will take the trouble to refer
to Its own files 1t will discover that the
war talk Vas anything but vague
That is not the adjective which the
CD. should have employed "Decep
tive war talk is the proper expression
There was no danger of war with
tGEau for the simple reason that Japan
could not borrow the money to carry
on war. and everybody but the Cali
fornians knew It. Some day we will
have war with Japan. 1t will come
just as soon as she can borrow enough 4
money. That is to say, we will have Il
war with her unless somebody else
thrashes the big head out of her before
she gets ready to fight Us.
