Savings Bank Investments at

From the bristol Herald.


G. S Page, the calf skin man and
banker, Of Hyde Park, is firm be-
lever in advertising.
And the results obtained are such
as to cause him to.feel thar his policy
is. the correct one. MIR Page has
built up at Hyde Park a business in
calf skins that is second to none in the
world and annually has 70 increase the
size Of his plant to meet the demands
of the business
This speaks well for Mr. Page.
who has made Hyde Park famous as
the calf-skin center of the world,
MIR Page has also found time to
help start savings bank in his town,
conducted on Page ideas, and it is to-
day one Of the leading banking insti-
tutions of Vermont and has done
much to help Vermont industries.
The banks investments are right
here at home where the bank officials
can examine them personally. This
is safeguard that is appreciated by
depositors
Ii is needless for US TO state that the
public has faith in Page, his conseWa-
iism and careful business methods.
The Hyde Park savings bank has
gained nearly quarter Of million
dollars in deposits IN the past six
months, due in great measure to
iudicious adj ertising.
Other savings institutions would
benefit greatly il they adopted such
course.
If you have a good thing, advertise
it. That is what c, S. Page has done
and the results prove that it pays.

Some interest was attached to the suns
submerSion. however, from the fact
that the planets Mercury. Venus. Mars,

No well-defined reasons are given for
the trouble In the Southern republic.
This so-called revolution had its coun.
terpart just sixteen years ago, when
CATERING Il. Cara led a band Of Next
a n and Mexican-Texans against an
army post just over the border and put
most Of the garrison to death. Cara
crossed the Rio Grande into the United
States, and for two years his followers,
taking advantage of the cover Of the
%chaparral, kept Southern Texas in a
turmoil until finally they were round
ed up and captured by American
troops.
1t is charged by the Mexican authori-
ties that the bands which are causing
the present trouble were recruited In
large part in the United States. Texas
has been the haven in the past Of Next
cans watching their revolutionary OPP
portunity." and there probably is a
basis for the charge that the United
States in this instance was the scene of
the chief plotting and the base Of the
first operations.
This government within the last two
years has made several arrests Of Mexi-
cans who were known to be melting re-
bellion against the rule Of Diaz from
the supposed security Of American soil.
The arrests apparently did not accom-
plish the end sought. The restless part
OF the Northern Mexican population has
had grievances largely local In then
nature which they have expanded into
grievances against the Diaz government
and against the existing order Of things
generally.
The insurgents, 1t Is said. have fed
northward after a defeat at the hands
OF a force OF Mexican regulars. II they
have had their strength broken as an
organized force, which is not ut all
certain, they may follow the Cara ex-
ample, take to a mountain or a chapar-
raj fastness and become bandits pure
and simple.
The Cara uprising cost the United
States government a lot of monepy.
Troops were In the field along the Rio
Grande for at least two years before
the outlaws finally were rounded up
and sent to prison. These Northern
Mexican troubles are n concern to two
governments. In one or two uprisings
In the past the United States has been
the chief sufferer. Our State Depart
ment Ii now carefully watching devel-
opments. The department officials feel
that the trouble will be adjusted salts
factorily and every effort will be made
for the preservation OF neutrality.

cd The Mexican ambassador to the
United States. Enrique c. Creel. has
been ordered back to Washington,
where he will ask the government that
any OF the revolutionary ringleaders
who may be canght on this side of the

lation OF the neutrality laws. There Is
precedent for such n course.
