Gaysvilie Power Development.

There seems to be general awakening
to the value of water power throughout
Vermont. Brattleboro is just completing
an extensive development and Morrisvilie
is also finishing construction that will
make possible considerable industrial
growth at that place. Here in Bethel,
however, without any flourish of trum-
pets, or heavy calls upon the generosity
of the Board of Trade, such as have cost
SO much in the two cases mentioned, a
power development of equal Importance
has been proceeding during the past six
months.
The Gaysville Electric company is going
ahead with plans that make it now posi-
BILE for the town of Bethel to offer ample
water-developed electric power as an in
ducement to industries to tablish them
selves here. This is case where private
capital, used along liberal and progressive
lines, is about to achieve as much for this
town as the Brattleboro and Morrisville
association of business men have accom-
plished for their towns.
The time is ripe for Bethel to announce
to manufacturers looking for live,
hustling, up-to-date place in which to es-
tablish their factories that the Gaysville
Electric company stands ready to furnish
electric power on a fair basis to all indus
tries that may be established here.
This is certainly Bethel's chance, and
the town should be grateful for such a
rdisplay of far-sighted public spirit.
Cheap power is vital necessity for the
industrial development of any town, and
with this announcement of ample and
efficient electric power at hand Bethel
takes its place among the towns that may
be'truly said to be on the map and ready
| to grow. Let the industries come

Doubles the Number Of EGGS.

To be successful with poultry requires a
great deal more careful attention than
many are apt to think. The house
should be large and warm. The fowls
should have plenty of exercise; but, more
than that, the fowls should be given as
food what their nature demands and
what, il allowed free range, they could
procure for themselves. "Page's Per-
fected Poultry Food contains these in
gradients in carefully compounded ra-
ton. A. A. Oimsted of South Newbury,
VT, has the following to say in regard to
this food 1--WE have been for some time
using your Perfected Poultry Food with
such good results that we thought it a
proper thing to tell you. II keeps our
hens well and in good laying condition
and, we think, doubles the number of
eggs. Being in good condition, lice do
not trouble"

a Savings Bank that Builds I'D Yer
mont Industries.

The Groton Times calls attention to
the fact that the policy OF the Hyde Park
Savings Bank Of investing its funds at

of great advantage to the industries of the
state as well. 1t ssys:-
The Lamoilie County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. of Hyde Park. VT, passed its
million-dollar mark of assets July IL.
Every cent of this banks holdings is in
vested in Vermont, a record not paralleled
in the state and a record seldom found
throughout the country. The president
of this bank is Carroll s. Page, who has
made worldwide name in the success OF
his calfskin business Mr.. Page is a be-
lever In Vermont and her industries, and
has demonstrated in his management Of
this bank that Vermont investments are
safe and good dividend payers. The
million dollars of this banking circula-
ticn in Vermont is a great help In foster
ing the industries of the state IL every
Vermont banking institution would seek
more home investments much more could
be done to further the industrial progress
of the state, and at the same time furnish
safe and profitable investment for the
banking house. Vermont needs more

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says it weakens the Heart.

''In my opinion,' says well known German physician, mo one can truth fully say that coffee agrees with him, as it has long since been proven that caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in- furious, poisonous substance which weakens and degenerates the heart muscles.
 "For this reason the regular use of coffee, soon or late, causes condition of undernourishment, which leads to various kinds of organic disease.
 Convinced of this fact, have often sought for some healthful beverage to use instead of coffee. At last found the thing desired in Postum. Having had occasion to forbid people using coffee, whose hearts were affected have recommended Postum as a bev- craze, since it is free from all injuri- ous or exciting substances. I know this from results in my own family, and among patients.
 Hundreds of persons who now use Postum in place of coffee, are greatly benefited thereby" "Theres Reason"

MAKE RED RIVER NAVICAbiH
conqressmen From Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana Will Combine and Will Start Campaign for This
 Purpose.

Washingt0n-Plans for comprehen. sive improvement of the Red river are forming and a vigorous campaign will be carried on by Congressman Cravens and Wallace of Arkansas; Sheppard and Randall of Texas; Wat kins of Louisiana, and Carter and Ferris of Oklahoma, who Tuesday met to organize for the purpose.
 Saturday another meeting will be held when Q subcommittee, consisting of Cravens. Randall and Carter, will report the result of their investiga- tions into the status of the Red river improvements before the War Depart ment.
 Last year an appropriation was made for a survey of Red river but for some purpose no survey was made. It is proposed to ascertain why. It is the opinion of the members of the conference that by the expenditure of a moderate sum of money the river may be made navigable for good sized boats from the mouth to the upper reaches in Texas, and that in western Texas considerable areas may be re- claimd by irrigation.
 The members of the conference will not be content to secure the survey heretofore provided for but not had, from Fulton, but will insist on the government making of the Red river what the magnificent resources Of the country it traverses, justify.
