One of the most enthusiastic believers
in Vermont is Hon. George Aitken, of
Woodstock, the efficient secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, and this is
what he writes the Jersey Bulletin:
IF you want to see grass, come to
Vermont. 1t beats the world. And
speaking about corn: In Vermont, 90
DAYS from planting we begin husking.
Where's the fellow who can beat that ?
If Vermont was hammered out fiat, our
acreage would make quite show. But
l guess it's all right as it is-just as was
intended from the beginning The grass,
water and upland hay of Vermont will
raise the healthiest stock, and as many
honest men as any of the states"

Rowell have to log-roll and horse-shed
to reach his present exalted Office? Was
c. A. Prouty tricking, trading politi-
clan before he became one of the best
authorities on interstate commerce?
The idea is vicious and unworthy"
The Journal may be all right in its
general proposition, but it is unfortunate
in its details. Vermont failed in appre-
citation of Judge Stafford" to some ex-
tent when it refused him the Congress
sional nomination he desired. The same
thing is true of c. A. Prouty AS for
Judge Rowell, he was originally APP
pointed Judge by the Governor. If
there is log-rolling and horse-shedding
anywhere, it is mathematical PROPOSE
ton that there must be less with one
man, the Governor. than with the 270-
odd men who make up the legislature

"Why Not Rutland, Next?"

Under this caption the Rutland Her
aid has column editorial upon St.
Tohnsbury's $4,000 Y. NJ. c. a. cam
paign and makes a strong plea for a
similar campaign in the Marble City.
The editorial is splendid endorsement
of the work of the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
editor asks, "If 1915 people can be
found in St. Johnsbury who are ready
and willing to help boost local society
it ought not to be considered snch
difficult problem here
Our readers will be interested in the
Herald comment upon the campaign
and we give herewith that portion of
the able editorial relating to our can
vass:
1t is interesting to note that of the full
amount contributed 1915 individuals
and firms participated, only very few
persons giving any large amount The
press of St. Johnsbury was unit in
booming the movement, and the COM
mittee having the work in hand proved
themselves masters of the situation in
their ingenious devices to keep the fnan-
cial stream flowing, and never allowing
the citizens to lose sight of what was
going on. 1t was indeed a veritable
"whirlwind campaign" and shows what
can be done when people bury differ
ences and get together"
This is the second venture of the kind
that has demonstrated the Willingness
of the people to take care of local inter
ests when real need is seen to exist
Burlington led the way with cam
paign in which 1000 was secured for
the association there. And now St.
Johnsbury gets on it's feet without much
effort and is correspondingly happy. All
it needed was for some one who had
faith enough in the movement to start
the ball rolling and the people did the
rest

The Hyde Park Savings Bank.

The press of the state are saying some
very kind things about the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co.
The fact that it has never lost dollar
by poor note and that all of it's money
is kept in Vermont, seems to be the key
note to most of these editorial notices.
The Banks assets passed the million
dollar mark July 18th.
The motto of the bank, Vermont
money for Vermonters to foster Vermont
industries and to develop Vermont enter
priscs, is a slogan which seems at this
time to be especially. popular in the
Green Mountain State.
Well, why not?
Below are few ofthe press commenst:
New England Farmer.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Co., Hyde Park, VT, of which
Ex-Gov Carroll S. Page is president, is
run upon wise principle, one which the
farmers who patronize it would do well
to apply in their general business tran
sactions. This bank believes in keeping
its money at home. That it's policy is a
profitable as well as popular one is indi-
Gated by the fact that it is about to pay
per interest cent on deposits left with it
year or more.
Dandy Mirror.
Beginning July LIST, the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. of
Hyde Park, VT, will pay four per cent
interest on deposits remaining in it's care
for year or more. This is a particu-
larly strong savings institution, and dur
ing it's existence has invested the money
ofits depositors wholly in the state and
has never lost dollar. Hon. Carroll S.
Page, one of the most able business men
in Vermont, and the states honored ex.
Governor, is president of the bank-the
kind of president who knows at all
times how the affairs of the bank are be.
ing conducted, and is ever active in pro.
noting its interests and protectingits de.
positors against possible loss.

Ex-Gov. Page, president of the La

when the bank was established, that the
business shall be run for the benefit o.
Vermont and Vermonters. The entire
assets of the bank are kept in Vermont
and loaned to Vermonters to foster Yer.

rather than high rates OF interest has
always governed the investments of this

A novel scheme in banking is that Of

scheme is safe as we'll as novel, is proved
by the fact that in the Is years since it's

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.
Scoring the Deer Hunters.

For years the writer has protested
vigorously in and out of season against
the sickening and indiscriminate
slaughter OF deer in Vermont. want
the friendship of no man who wantonly
shoots down mild eyed and inoffensive
deer for GLORY" for the applause of the
village loafers. The death of a deer in
Vermont serves only to exalt coward,
the coward who killed him. Alive he's
a curiosity, an attraction, a worthy part
of Gods exposition of Himself in nature,
a thing of beauty to be kindly cared for
and protected. Man is the only animal
who kills when it is not necessary to
preserve life. He makes fish or game
hog of himself for the sake of the ap-
plause Of debased minds, to see his name
in the paper, toget himself photographed
with his String" The magazines con-
tain the STORIES often illustrated, of
these cowardly boosters, and con-
spicuous case in point is found in the
last issue of the Vermonter. Brave pair,
these Corinth captains courageous! A
perpetual close season for deer is what
we should work for, and it is bound to
come. Every deer killed is intrinsically
worth dozen of the towards who
encompass his DEATH John E. Harris

a trade reaction Our business is good,
and in net results to the company fully
up to that of year ago. We are striv-
ing now for net results and are not seek
ing to roll up big gross totals which
while they look good, generally mean
heavy operating costs. If the business
interests of the country would seek to
do little less business and do it little
better and more economically, the whole
business and money situation would be
greatly improved"
President Vail, who by the way is a
citizen of Vermont and resident of
Lyndonville, struck the keynote to the
present industrial situation, when he
said it would be better ito do a little
less and do it little better"
That is the trouble with everything.
We are all trying to do to much.
