Taste, furthermore, is ''style or form

to whatever is in accordance with the

refinement, gentle breeding and re-

knowledge of taste in many ways, and
there is no denying the fact that most
of us exhibit our appreciation of it's

good taste is to assert his title to all of
the graces of the mind and heart. The
bes.owal of the title covers about all
that is desirable, for behind it lies all

for the most valuable of the virtues,

A WeI1-COnducted Savings
Bank.

The Mortified News comments on
the success attained by the Hyde
Park Savings Bank in the following
very complimentary language:
The assets of the Iamoille County Savings
Band and Trust Company, of Hyde Park, have
passed the million collar mark, as already
noted in these columns. President c. s.
Page is receiving the hearty congratulations
of the press and many people upon its success
for this is one of the pc, enterprises OF Yer,
monts genial Ex-Governor.
1t must be conceded also that Mr.. Page has
succeeded as we'll in the banking line as in
other directions in which he has won the repu-
tation Of being one of Nermont's most sue
cessful business men. 1t may also be noted
that no man in the world believes more thor
oughly in the judicious use of printers ink
than Mr.. Page and advertising has been a
factor in the upbuilding of this bank.
Mr.. Page has conducted his bank on origi-
nal lines for his motto has always been, aver
mont money for Vermonters to foster Vefmont
industries and develop Vermont enterprises. f"
n 1t has been Mr.. Pages boast that not a
dollar of this banks money was ever loaned
outside of Vermont, and while no other bank
ing institution in the state accepted such a
proposition for itself for years, the happy
tendency of late among many of the financial
institutions has been to seek home invest
ments. The Hyde Park bank pays four per
cent interest. Congratulations to President
Page upon the success that his bank has
attained under his years of good management.
Commencing January, 1908, this Bank
will pay four per cent compounded
semi annually on all deposits large and
small alike; will pay taxes on all sums
up to $4,000 and will issue pass-books
with no limits as to times of withdrawal
or other restrictions save those common
to all Vermont Savings Banks. Deposits
made on or before Feb. 18th will draw
interest from Jan. LIST, those after Feb.

Addison Co. 30,59S

Addison County reached its maximum
population of 26,549 in 1850. 30,59S is
what it would have had if every town
had reached its maximum the same year.
164 towns, or two-thirds of the total
number were larger in 1910 or before
than they were in 1900. These facts
may lead to the question, what would
Vermonts population be if each town
after it had reached its maximum popu-
lation remained stationary, neither gain
ing or losing. After figuring this out
and making corrections for few towns
which have been divided, we find that
Vermont would have ABS, 1896, an increase
of almost 50, 900 or gain of more than
81 per cent over the present population.
While no great gain like that of some
states can be expected, the prospect for
good sized increase in 1910 and follow
ing decades is very bright. That the
population in many towns is beginning
to turn is shown by the fact that twenty
three towns less lost during the last de-
cade than during the preceding one. 1t
is very easy to see that when these towns
hold their own or make small gains. the
places now growing because of other
interests, as Barre and Hardwick on &C
count of granite, Proctor because of mar
BILE, Burlington on account of lake COM
merce and lumber trade and St. Johns
bury because of the manufacture of
scales, will have more noticeable effect
on the total population of the state, and
Vermont will regain its former pre-
eminence and stand in the position it
should among the more prosperous states
in the Union.

Motor Boat nd Engine Show.

Mechanics Building, Boston, has been
the scene of many great trade expositions,
bit Judging from the preparations which
have been made and the great interest
already displayed by those connected
with the industry, the coming National
Motor Boat and Engine Show, which
opens in Mechanics Building, January
25th, promises to eclipse them all, and
as an exhibition in tire boat building and
mechanical line, it will interest all New
England.
During the progress of the show there
will no doubt be many excursions from
various points, for this section of the
country is essentially interested in all
matters pertaining to marine exploita-
ton.
There are probably more motor craft
owned in New England than in any
other section of the country, for there
are so many splendid inland facilities for
motor boating in addition to the magnifi-
cent coast line with its picturesque har-
bors and ideal cruising grounds This
years exhibition which will stand alone
and not be part of the auto show, will
be able to present in most attractive
way displays of motor boats and engines
heretofore impossible in the limited space
allotted to the boat section of the auto
show.
When one considers that the immense
building with its great exhibition halls,
has been engaged for this show. the
great size of the project can be imagined.
1t means that New England will see an
exhibition such as was not dreamed of a
few years ago. Only the facilities of
the building limit the size of the dis
play.
The very latest types of cabin motor
craft which it is possible to get within
the building will be exhibited and these
boats will be fully equipped for sea SER
vice There will be countless other types
of power craft while the engine display
will be the most unique in the history of
the business The Boston Show will
follow the great successes of New York
and Chicago. There will be an attrac.
tive musical programme each day.

Population of Vermont,

AT the first census in 1891, Vermont
ranked eleventh among the states in pop
ulation and had over two per cent of the
emit re population of the United States,
During the next twenty years it grew
faster than the average state, and the
average growth was remarkably rapid
at this time, until in 1910 it had over
three per cent. of the total population.
Since then the growth has been very
slow and although the population has
always steadily increase d, it has fallen
behind the rapid strides made by other
states, until by the last census Vermont
ranked thirth-ninth, with only four
tenths of one per cent. of the total popu-
lation of the country.
Most of the various reasons for this
falling behind can be traced directly to
the physical geography. Having no
seaport, Vermont has lost all the advan-
tages OF ocean commerce, while the billy
nature of the land prevents successful
inland trade and renders difficult the
competition in farming with the western
states. Then, too, the size of Vermont,
ranking fortieth of the states in area,
has not been to its advantage, especially
when we consider the large amount of
this area that is Of no value in support
ing population.
Notwithstanding the fact that YER
mont as whole has increased steadily
from the time of the first census until
the present, only two towns, St. Johns
bury and Colchester, or three, if we
count st. Adams city and town together,
out of the 246 in the state, have made
] d.. Al l.
town in Addison County which was
larger in 1900 than at some previous
time, and in the whole state there are
but thirty-four towns and cities which
reached their maximum population at
the last census. Twenty-Five towns
were larger in 1891 than in 1900 and
Guilford, which in 1891 was the largest
place in the state, has made consecutive
losses at every census and is now but
little over one-quarter the size it was
116 years ago.
Mddebury although larger than the
average, illustrates well the vicissitudes
of population in Vermont towns. 1t
started i'll 1891 with a population of 1896,
not quite half as much as that of Corn
wall at the same time. Manufacturing
was established early, and although the
larger part of the population was sup
ported by agriculture, it had much to do
with Nliddlebury's progress. Before
1912, Middlebury had the most extensive
marble works IN the state and a stone
cotton factory which made cloth worth
fifty cents a yard. Middlebury grew
rapidly until 1880 when with popula-
ton of 346S-423 more than it had in
l900-it was the largest place in the
whole state. During the ten years fol-
lowing, owing partly to disastrous fire
in 1881, Middlebury lost and dropped to
fifth place; and although it reached its
maximum twenty years later, in 1850, il
did not keep up with the increase in a
few other places and has been losing in
rank ever since, now holding ninteenth
place in size in tie state
The following table shows when each
Addison County town reached its great
est population and what its population
was by the census of 1900:
