Vermont as a Field for
Savings Bank Investments.

The best evidence that a
thing can be done is the fact
that somebody does it. The
fact that the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank finds abundant
opportunity for investing its
funds in Vermont, proves the
fallacy Of the theory that
Banks must send their money
out west. The Windsor Jour
nal says along this line:
Fx-Cov Carroll S. Page of Vermont is re-
ceiying many congratulations, these days,
upon the success of the Lamoille County
Savings Bank at Hs de Pa of which he has
been president from its organ izstion. From
the beginning all sf its resources have be en-
invested ia Vermont, thus demonstrating
that the no re field affords abundant oppor-
tunitiss + legitimate investn ents. The
Journ Il joins in congratulations.

For two hours the heavily loaded
train was tied up by its fight with the
pests and the 120 passengers were al.
most crazed before they escaped.
The attack was made early in the
evening. just as the train started to
pull out of Badgley
Because of the hot weather the win
dows in the passenger coaches had
been left open and the mosquitoes,
driven from the marshes by the rain,
swarmed into the cars, attacking the
passengers. For a while the pas
sengers attempted to fight the pests
with handkerchiefs and hands, but as
they increased In number and ferocity
the conductor was finally appealed to
and stopped the train.
For two hours tho train was stalled.
while the passengers, driven from the
coaches, built fires along the right of
way. making a dense smudge which
afforded them a little relief. The
smudge was then carried into the
coaches and the mosquitoes finally
driven out Many of the passengers
had hands and faces almost eaten raw
by the attacks.

Detroit.-Detroits girl diver, Miss
Frances Baker. is regarded as a
protege by all the sailors of
the great lakes. She is 81 years
of age, and has laid up comfortable
bank account by following her hazard

work was when she raised $4,000
worth of copper from the ship of w.

water in Lake Erie several years
ago.
Miss Bakers father, Capt. w. II.
Baker, was captain of divers, and
from the first time she was allowed
TO 30 down to the river alone, she
used to watch her fathers wrecking
ship leave the dock and long to go
with him. The ambition to become a
diver matured in her as she grew
older, and she deplored the fate which
had condemned her to be a girl
AT last her desire to become a
diver overcame the objections of her
friends and she began making wreck
ing trips with her father, and soon
became his inseparable companion.
She made a study of every part of
the machinery connected in any way
with diving. and in time learned to
command the wrecking boat with
great skill and assurance
Her first descent was in Lake HUI

gone down. and before the wrecking
steamer had reached the spot where

cabin.

The falls will be Illuminated for the
