A Popular Savings Bank

A large and ever growing list OF
depositors is the best possible fndicas
ton of the popularity of the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany. One good reason for this pop
ularity is well summed up in the fol-
lowing from the Burlington Clipper ;
The motto of Gov. Hayes home savings
bank, of which he is president, "every cent
loaned in Vermont has proved winner
There is no more popular or successful savings
institution in Vermont.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. COM

new SHOREHAM
WILL bE DRY"
NEXT SUMMER

Block Island will go dry next summer,
as the voters Of the sea-grt isle decided
last Tuesday by a plurality OF 80 In a
vote OF 2S5 that no licenses should be
granted during the coming year
. Under a special law passed IN 1907, Ii
censes granted there are for a period of
only four months, June. July. August and
September. or during the summer season.
Since that law was passed, however tho
people Of the island have voted every
year against license
1t is claimed by some of those identified
with hotel interests at New Shoreham
that the voting of no-lcense works n
hardship upon those interests, as IL has a
tendency TO keep summer visitors from
the island who would otherwise spend
their vacations and leisure time there, and
does not eliminate the sale of liquor on
the island, but simply drives thetraffic
into barns outbuildings and Kitchens.

EM6LAND'S BANK
AGAIN RAISES
DISCOUNT RATE

London, Nov. THE directors OF tho
Bank of England this morning put up the
minimum discount rate from s to 7 per
cent. The only thing which could have
averted this heavy rate would have been
assurances from responsible quarters in
New York that the situation there which
IL is recognized Is due to the exceptional
demands upon capital In consequence of
the great commercial activity i'm America
Is sufficiently well in hand To warrant the
expectation that there would be an early
cessation of the gold drain on the market
In the absence of such an assurance the
Bank of England utilized the only weap-
on at hand TO protect its reserves. IL is
realized. however, that even this high rate
may not prevent shipment of gold to New
York, but IL Is hoped that il may attract
metal from abroad in sufficient quantf='
ties to restore the equilibrium. The step
was doubly necessary as the bank must
nurse it's supplies at present. for the au-
tumn country cash requirements have to
be met, as we'll as the usual Egyptian de-
mands and there is a possibility of de-
mands for gold for Argentina.
The last occasion when a seven per cent
rate was enforced by the Bank OF Eng
land was In 1873 and was due to financial
troubles on the continent and in America
on that occasion tire rate eventually
reached nine per cent but 1t quickly fell to
four and a half per cent

committee OF the Imperial Bank of Ger

count rate from 51a TO per cent, and its
