A Savings Bank Worthy Of Pat
ronaqe.

From Newport Express and Standard.
While few have chosen to criticise
Carroll S. Page for his liberal use of
printers ink in the advertising of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank, the fact goes
to prove that the use of it for the past
six months has increased the deposits in
his Savings Bank nearly quarter of a
million dollars.
1t also tends to prove that Carroll S.
Page has the confidence of his many de-
positors who are not only from his own
county but throughout the state at large.
A bank that believes in home in-
vestments, that finds plenty of orpor-
tunities for those investments at home
and trausacts its financial affairs upon
solid basis without assuming unneces-
sary risks, is worthy of patronage aud
its promoters worthy of unbounded
praise.
There are opportunities enough for
good solid investments in Vermont if
one has the eye aud the keeness to look
them up; Carroll S. Page has an eye
for these investments and this is why
he holds the public confidence in the
Hyde Park Savings Bank.

In few days it will again be up to
our voters to say yes or no to the ques-
ton, "Shall license be granted for the
sale of intoxicating liquor? This ques-
ton is personal one for each voter to

experience dictate that he should be gov

conscientiously say that good will come
to the greatest number of our people by
voting to license the sale of Intoxicating
