seven years ago. It will continue
nearly eight years longer, as not quite
half the million points have yet been
reached, This game is the longest
ever played since cards first began to
entertain mankind.
Each week the four men meet. They
have played about 3S5 consecutive
weeks. Each night they play from
1880 to IL o'clock, averaging each
night 215O points. The game is de
vided into a series of 100000 points
each. More than ESQ packs OF cards
and several crlbbage boards have
been worn out.
While they play no one Is allowed
in the room. Silently they handle the
cards and peg the scores on the crib
bage board. With long deliberation
at times they take up and examine
the six cards dealt them. Slowly they
lay down two cards for the crib Dur
ing the entire game they cudgle their
minds to play so as to preserve the
counting combinations; they do not
talk. Beads of perspiration start on
their foreheads. Sometimes 1t is mem
tai agony. But 10! when one pair
gets ahead and wins there is great
enthusiasm, chuckling and fun.
For a half hour each evening the
party rests for refreshments. Then
they go at 1t again, working toward
the million points.
When they reach their last game
the men declare they will call in their
friends. And when It is over a prize
will be awarded. A prize? All, when
you ask them, one and all shake
their heads. It's a secret-a deep
secret. To learn what It will be It Is

a Clash in Fair Dates

The State fair directors have chosen
the last week in September for their
exhibition this year, taking the same
dates previously announced by the
Valley Fair association of Brattle-
boro and which the latter has had
for the past % years. The Valley
fair people are demanding correc-
ton of this mistake" which the
Phoenix calls frank discourtesy and
the adoption of a detrimental butt-in
policy" detrimental to both associ-
atoms.
The State fair association got a
glorious start in its successful show
last year, and it is a matter of re-
greet that there is any friction with
any neighbor President Hooker OF
the Valley fair association sug-
gests one solution-that the Wood
stock fair go back a week, and let
the State fair take the 22d, 23d, Path
and 25th of September. The local
managers are not considering the
suggestion, however. They say that
the Valley fair managers have butt
ed in" on Woodstock in recent years
with as much discourtesy as they
attribute to the State fair officials
The Windsor County fair went out
of It's way one year in order to avoid
conflict with Brattleboro, then re-
turned to the old date which it has
had for going on seventy years, and
intends to stick to it.

Vermont Savings Bank Money Should
be Used in Vermont
From the Mortified Ne,

EAO4h tlo INOl NhhSAh ANOMo
The largest advertiser in Vermont
is ex Gov. Carroll S. Page of Hyde
Park, one of the States best and most
progressive citizens.
No individual or corporation in
existence has better demo nstrated the
practical value OF judicious but at
the same time liberal advertising
than Gov. Page.
Gov. Page has not only won
worldwide reputation us dealer in
hides, but he has gained an enviable
standing which extends far beyond
the limit of his own state as finan-
cier.
AT the head of the financial insti-
tutions Of Hyde Park, he has carried
his ideas of banking institutions to
complete success.
One of his cardinal principles in
the latter line has been "Vermont
money in Vermont to foster state in
dustries and to develop Vermont
enterprises" He points with par
donable pride to the fact that the
Hyde Park Savings Bank under his
direction has never loaned dollar
outside of the state and furthermore,
has never lost single dollar by a
bad loan.
A large business has been built up
in this banking institution by local
advertising. Last year Gov. Page
decided that his bank had better have
more deposits and a vigorous adj
vertising campaign was started in
the state press, largely with the
weekly papers, with the result that
nearly quarter of million dollars
was gained in deposits in six months.
The campaign has not let up and
the deposits are still rapidly increas-
ing. 1t looks as If the governor in
tended to make Hyde Park famous
in the financial world as it is ia the
hide markets of every civilized nation
The great SUCCESS which Gov.
Page has won in the commercial and
financial world has unquestionably
been due to strict integrity, de
votion to sound business principles,
active and progressive business
methods coupled with a liberal use
of printers ink.
