A Novel Scheme i'm Manag-
ing Savings Banks

This is what the Wilmington Tin es
calls the policy of the Hyde Park
Savings Banks practice of investing all
its funds in Vermont. 1t says:
novel scheme in banking is that of the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and Trust
Company of Hyde Park, Vermont, in de-
voting its entire assets to the fostering Of
Vermont enterprises and developing Yer
mont industries. That the scheme is safe as
well as novel, is proved by thefact that in the
is years since its organization the bank has
never lost dollar on poor note, nor has
it now, so far as is known, single piece Of
poor or doubtful paper.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. COM

EMORIAL DAY
Something of Its Origin and .
Prophecy as to Its Future.
BY MAJ. GEN. FRED. D. GRANT

BY MAI. GEN. FRED. d. GRANT
-, HE idea of this beautiful Gus
tom was first suggested and
made a great national holiday
by Gen. John A. Logan. Ho
was thoughtful man, swayed by SEN
timent of the highest order, and
close student of the classics. He
read much and frequently referred to
historic episodes in his speeches.
by nature Gen Logan was inclined
to be heroic. and 50 after the war,
after reading much about the beauti-
full customs of the ancient Greeks In
honoring their dead heroes with cere-
monies and flowers at annual fes-
rivals, IL came to him in a moment or
inspiration that 1t would be a patriot
&c and popular thing to likewise honor
the dead soldiers of our own country
in similar way He held that TO
decorate the soldiers graves once a
year In the month of May with its
flowers and blooming splendor would
awaken new sentiments of loyalty and
regard for the government among the
people.
IL was fact, as he well knew,
that nearly every household had lost
one or more members or relatives or
dear friends. Gen. Logan's inspira'
ton awoke response in every heart
and his movement was soon organized
and made of national Importance

eazLQz..

In every section of the country. All
agreed that decorating the graves OF
soldiers with flowers on the day APP
pointed would give the nation new
life and be welcomed by all the peo-
pie.
But this is not all. The religious
sentiment at the bottom of the idea
of honoring the dead soldiers and
perpetuating the memory OF their he
roic deeds made the day something
higher and nobler than anything
known in the days of the Greeks.
Thus it came about that Memorial
Day became the greatest OF all our
American holidays. 1t was a day for
the bereaved to commune at the
tombs of their honored dead.
For many years, as we all know,
the custom was an event--the most
beautiful, pathetic and sacred of our
holidays-but later on, as the ranks OF
the survivors grew thinner and the
families who had contributed so many
lives to the war passed away, the day
became more like other holidays-a
day more noted for military parade,
ing good time generally, until now
the general public are coming to look
on Memorial day as an ordinary ma
tional holiday, like Washington's
Birthday or the Fourth of July.
Had 1t not been for the deep reli-
gious sentiment, with prayers and
church services held in honor of the
soldiers Memorial day would from
the beginning In all probability have
been attended with the noise and dis
| play of the Fourth of July. Fortu-
nately this religious sentiment has
made the people more thoughtful.
and instead of noise and gun firing we
have gone in for more quiet recrea-
tion-country picnics-making the
day more like festival than day
of mere noise and parade.
| think II Is a beautiful idea, this
decorating the graves of those who
sacrificed their lives in the tremen-
dous days of the war and purely out
of patriotic devotion, and 1t is pity
indeed that public sentiment is grad
ually changing and we are forgetting
the solemn lessons taught by the war
and of the sacred meaning OF honor.
