ont Savings Bank Money Shoul
be Used in Vermont.
From the Mortified News

From the Mortified News.
The largest advertiser in Vermont is
ex-Gov. Carol s. Page of Hyde Park, one
of the states best and most progressive
citizens.
No individual or corporation in exist
ence has better demonstrated the practi-
cal value of judicious but at the same
time liberal advertising than Gov. Page.
Gov. Page has not only won world
wide reputation as a dealer in hides, but
he has gained an enviable standing which
extends far beyond the limit of his own
state as financier.
At the head of the financial institutions
of Hyde Park, he has carried his ideas of
banking methods to complete success.
One of his cardinal principles in the
latter line has been vermont money in
Vermont to foster state industries and to
develop Vermont enterprises" He points
with pardonable pride to the fact that the
Hyde Park Savings Bank under his direc-
tion has never loaned dollar outside of
the state and, furthermore, has never lost a
single dollar by bad loan.
A large business has been built up in
this banking institution by local adver-
Using. Last year Gov. Page decided that
his bank had better have more deposits
and vigorous advertising campaign was
started in the state press, largely with.the
weekly papers, with the result that near
ly quarter of million dollars was gained
in deposits in six months.
The campaign has not let up and the
deposits are still rapidly increasing. It
looks as if the governor intended to make
Hyde Park famous in the financial world
as it is in the markets of every civil
LIKED nation.
The great success which Gov. Page has
won in the commercial and financial
world has unquestionably been due to
strict integrity, devotion to sound BUSH
ness principles, active and progressive
methods coupled with q liberal use of
printers ink.

Does Farming Pay in Vermont
On March 1, 1904, F. ID. Moody sold
his farm, containing some 300 acres,
situated on the East Hill in Tunbridge,
to two young men, brothers, Ernest and
Lester Bates, for 1880. On that date
they took possession and gave mortgage
of 5000 on farm and stock.
They have had a dairy on an average
of 25 cows, making the butter at home
and sending it to market every week.
During this time they have hired but
little help, either on the farm or in the
house; neither have they speculated in
any way to make dollar outside OF the
farm. All has been done by hard labor
and the proceeds OF the farm. On Feb.
II, 1908, they paid the last note due and
became sole owners of the property.
The question now arises, Why cannot
other young men in Tunbridge and in
Vermont do as we'll, and is not this case
here i'm Vermont as good a showing as
can be made in any of the Western states
at the present time?

TIME CLOCK
WAS SET WRONG
Doors Of the Big Vault in
Wilmington Savings Fund
Did Not open Till Noon

When the employees Of the Wilmington
Savings Bank at Ninth and Market streets
went to the vault at opening tirrs to-day
the doors Of the big strong box refused to
come open. This caused surprise but on
investigation, it was found that the clerk
who set the time clock Of the vault on
Friday had made a mistake in computing
the time between Friday afternoon when
the bank closed and this morning In
stead Of setting the clock to open the
vault in GA hours he set it for p hours and
in consequence the doors remained tightly
closed until noon to-day. The bank was
closed on Saturday, being Washington S
birthday.
The bank was not embarrassed by the
clerks error and business went on just
the same. The institution pays out its
money in checks whicn are payable on an
other bank in the city and enough deposits
were made this morning = have met any
ordinary demand on the institution had
cash been needed.

IRREGULARITIES

February, which will come to close

respects. Being leap year, IL contains

rent by the month. To those who are
paid Saturday it is also pleasant, for
there are five of those interesting oc-
casiona.
To the man born on February 30
the month will provide a birthday, the
first for three years.

Jointly responsible for all this. Caesar
is responsible for the first leap year.
which was brought about by introduce
ing his reformed Roman calendar. ac-
cepting 365 days and six hours to the
year To make up the quarter of a
day necessary TO complete the true
year he ordered that at the end of
every four years a single day should
be added But this was considered
defective, and in 1852 there was a diff
ference Of 10 days, resulting from the
accumulated odd moments, and then
Il was that Pope Gregory established
the present calendar. Under the new
rule 10 days were omitted and It was
ordered that every year whose num-
Der is divisible by 400 should be leap
year, except the full centuries.

SPLIT OVER THE
TEXAS DELEGATES
Friends Of Taft and His Op.
pOnents will be Repre-
sented at Chicago

AUSTIN. Tex, Feb. 2i.-Texas Is now
contributing its share TO the general
struggle throughout the Southern States
to prevent their delegations TO the Chi
cago convention being turned over 20 Sec
retary Taft by federal office holders. That
two delegations will be sent by Texas is
regarded as the inevitable result Of Sat
urday's action by the executive commit
tee Of the reorganized Republican party
opposing Taft I'm deciding to hold a com
vention 10 name delegates at large at
Waco May 26. The administration wing
OF the party win hold It's own convention
and name Taft delegates.
Many politicians think this act OF the re-
organized men win give them the advan-
tage at the convention. The anti-Iaft
wing they point out viii be in a position
to pose as the regular delegation. This r.
usually a sufficient claim to gain seats in
a convention. The issue has been squarely
drawn on the Taft question by the reor-
ngaised party's committee.
In Saturdays meeting II threy down
the gauntlet to the National Administra-
tion which It accuses OF backing Tafts
candidacy. Resolutions adopted denounced
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and
Coloney Lyon. head Of the Taft faction in
Texas and the declaration made that by
the distribution OF Federal patronage an
effort is being made TO line up the State
for Taft.
