Of course Prouty will probably
win. He is at least an honest man,
and will undoubtedly do the best he
can, but it is rather disheartening
when the east side has SO many
brainy men of the DeBoer, Ide and
Fits class that it should submit
gubernatorial timber of the sapling
grade.
The only comfort we can see is
that small trees often grow. But
then, so also do mushrooms and puff

Business Principles, as Applied to
Savings Banks.
From Essex County Herald

Despite the marvellous growth OF
advertising in late years, the casual
thinker might question the wisdom
of its extension to the business of a
country savings bank.
But results refute theories, for we
are informed that the Hyde Park
Savings Bank. during six months
advertising campaign, increased its
deposits nearly quarter million
dollars.
We have savings bank in our
village. We cannot, hover, Withhold
a need of praise for the business
sagaclty of ex-Gov. Page in thus
keeping Vermont money in Vermont
policy at once patriotic and mutu-
ally beneficial.
Printers ink, combined with care
full and square business methods, has
made Hyde Park the hub Of the hide
industry, and the same agencies bid
fair to make it widely known as a
center of savings.
