NO DEMAND CAUSES
SLUMP IN silver
Price Has Steadily Declined Because
No One Is Buying In Quantity.

New York, Dec. 2.--The recent
steady decline In the price of silver
to AZ rs, the lowest level in some
years, is ascribed chiefly to the fall
Ing off in demand for the metal at
home and abroad. In the domestic
market the demand was greatly re-
duced by the industrial depression of
the year. In India, which is always
an important market, the revolution
airy movement has served TO impart
a speculs tive tone to the operations
in the silver market. while China has
bought comparatively little bar silver
for months past A further decline
occurred today when it was quoted at

After what seemed to Kane age he succeeded IN

But he had little more to do now; for the fight

him into a corner, where he lay lashing his sides
with heavy, twitChing tail.
The keeper was sober enough now. One long
look at the great VOLTS body satisfied him that all

pressed against the bars. With short laugh he
shook himself to make sure he all sound, then
pushed the body of the Gray Master gently with

another wolf to match him"
Kane the point of saying that it would
not have happened, but for certain circumstances
that it was unnecessary for him to specify. He
realized however that he glad it had happened;
glad the long pacing, pacing, pacing, was at an end;
glad the load of his self reproach lifted off So
he said something quite different.
Well, Bidde1 he's free And maybe, when all
is said, that was just what he was after"

The License Issue.

The Banner has said so much about
the license question that it feels deli
cate about airing its views much fur
Their on the question, but it does de
sire to call the attention to the differ
ent conditions prevailing in the large
and the small towns, which make il
foolish for the small rural towns to
vote yes even though it might BIZ
equally foolish for large town like
Remington to vote no"
In small community saloon is a
much more serious menace to the
moral health of the community than
in large place. 1t is likely to be the
only attraction" in town evenings
and to become hangout place not
only for those who drink, but for
those who. do not
In large village or city saloon
has plenty of competition in offering
entertainment, especially in the even
ing. For instance here in Bennington
there are the Opera House, Library
Hall, the Y. M. C. A., public library
bowling alleys, fire department par
Tors, as well as the several fraternity
halls and club rooms. All of then
furnish entertainment for men, with
tendency to lessen the business done
by saloons. All the saloon offers is
its drinking facilities.
All the towns of Bennington county
have, we believe, voted no license with
the exception of Bennington. and
should therefore be in position to
Judge for themselves as to whether OF
not they want license saloons.
1t is therefore perhaps unnecessary
to argue the question but from record
of the past we fail to see why voter
in small town should under any
circumstance vote yes" II he desires
the best welfare of his community.

The DeerfieId Valley Times Opinion
of the Hyde Park Savings Bank.

Ex-Gov. Carroll 8. Page, believes in
the liberal use OF printers ink, and as
a result the name of Page and the 1T
tie village of Hyde Park, are household
words throughout the civilized world.
Nineteen years ago Mr. Page con.
ceived the idea of savings bank the
prime object of which would be to keep
Vermont money in Vermont by invest
ing only in Vermont industries and de-
veloping Vermont enterprises.
The idea was q success from the
start; people have faith in Mr.. Page
and his conservative business meth
DDS.
This faith has been justified by the
fact that In the whole course of It's
business history the Lamoille County
Savings Bank has not lost one dollar
on a poor note, nor has it at presen,
dollars worth OF poor or doubtful
paper.
Mr.. Page believed the business haG
greater possibilities, and applied tn,
plan that had won him success in his
hide industry to his savings bank idea
and began liberal campaign of adver
Using
This plan drew criticism from Ger
4, tain quarters but it also drew depos
its, and in the six months that have
elapsed since this campaign of adver
Using started nearly quarter of Q
million dollars have been added to.tht
deposits of the bank.
The best evidence that man car
do thing is the fact that he does 1t
| Ex-Gov. Page had only to make the
people understand that he could In
vest their money at home, with good
security for every loan, and where
such security could be personally ex
amined by the bank officials, and the
thing was accomplished.
Ex-Governor Page has built up bus
mess in hides that is admitted TO be
the largest of its kind in the world
He has established savings bank
that If the present ratio of increase
in deposits continue, will make Hyde
Park famous for its savings bank as
well as in calfskins.
He has accomplished both these
things in little village in Northern
Vermont, far from the great money
centers, far from the realms of ''fren
zied finance" This could only be &C
complished in one way; Carroll Page
believes in advertising.
