"The showing of the Rutland
banks national and savings, for the
first half of 1907 indicates not only
splendid management but also thrift
upon the part of the community
for both of which we are duly CRATE
full. Rutland News.
This seems to be quite a general
report from all the banks in the larg-
er communities during the half just
closed. We have noted that the in
situations in Burlington and in
Montpelier, as we'll as in Barre, have
shown marked increases in deposits,
which must mean in turn that the
people are laying by more of their
earnings for the proverbial "rainy
day" Vermont's material prospect

Vermont is now looking at her
best. The June rains give the
scenery; an appearance of grandeur,
and the foliage never looked better.
We enjoy hearing people, who have
travelled abroad, say that the Green
Mountain scenery during the sum-
mer months is the best to be found
IN the world This vicinity is par
ticularly favored being located SO
near Cancels Hump and Mount
Mansfield. The number of automo-
biles which are touring Vermont is
the best of advertising for the state
Encourage these touring parties,
and the best way to do it is to build
more permanent roads. Waterbury

General Fits has expressed the
opinion that it is contrary to the
spirit of the local option law that
clubs in no-license communities
should be allowed to dispense liquor
to their members. - 1t calls the
open saloon the poor mans club and
sees marked similarity between
the two. There is grave doubt if
the erich mans club, as the con-
temporary is pleased to call it, can
lawfully be closed, as it is not a
place of public resort and liquors
are served to more but members. A |
man has perfect right under the
law, even under the old prohibition
to have liquors in his
home and serve them to his guests,
rs was proven more than once, and
as every member has an equal share
in the club, it is fair to suppose that
the club room is his home while he
is there. The question of clubs or or
CARNATIONS flu, nisbing liquor to their
members was pretty we'll threshed
out about seven years ago when the
Vermont Fish and Game League
was under fire for serving ale to its
members. Judge Rowell, it will be
remembered, gave it as his opinion
that the league had a perfect right
so TO do and that it was not con-
trary to the probibitory law. This
is good opportunity to test the
new law as regards clubs and it may
be found that there is a decided
difference between them and the
corner saloon, where any loafer will
be served if he has the price. Yer
