A Savings Bank that Builds up
Vermont Industries.

The Groton Times calls attention to
the fact that the policy of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank of investing its funds at
home is not only good for the Bank but
OF great advantage to the industries OF
the state as well. 1t says:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Co., of Hyde Park, VT, pas
sed its million dollar mark of assets July
IL. Every cent of this banks holdings
is invested in Vermont, a record not
paralleled in the state and a record sell
dom found throughout the country. The
president of this bank is Carroll S. Page,
who has made a world wide name in the
success of his calfskin business. Mr..
Page is believer 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 bank
ing circulation in Vermont is a great
help in fostering the industries of the
state. lfevery Vermont banking insti-
tuition would seek more home invest
ments much more could be done to fur
Their the industrial progress of the state,
and at the same time furnish a safe and
profitable investment for the banking
house. Vermont needs more men of the
Carroll S. Page type.
This Bank pays Al per cent compounded
semi-annually on deposits Of 500 or
more.
Commencing January, 1908, this bank
will pay four per cent compounded semi
annually on all deposits large and small
alike; will pay taxes on all sums up to
$4,000, and will issue pass-books with
no limits as to times of withdrawal OF
other restrictions or limitations save
those common to all Vermont Savings
Banks. Deposits made on or before Feb
18th will draw interest from Jan. LIST
those after Feb. 18th from April 1st.

Doubles the Number Of Eggs.

To be successful with poultry requires
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, if allowed free range, they could
procure for themselves. Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food contains these in
gradients in a carefully compounded
ratio. A. A. Olmsted 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
think it proper thing to tell you. 1t

The U. S. Government in its "Pure
Food Law" does not Endorse" or
guarantee" any preparationyas some
manufacturers in their advertisements
would make it appear. In the case of
medicines the law provides that certain
drugs shall be mentioned on the labels,
if they are ingredients of the prepare
tions. Ely's Cream Balm. the we'll
known family remedy for cold in the
head hay fever and nasal catarrh,
doesn't contain single injurious drug,
so the makers have simply to print the
tact that it complies fully with all the re-
Equirements of the law.

snakes here the other afternoon,

The snake escaped from it's box and
when discovered was out on the floor
In front of the audience. Several chill

Padget shouted to them: Stand
back" At the sound of his voice the
reptile coiled and raised its head high
with hood extended.
Women and children fed, and Pad
get ran down, grasped the snake back
of the head and soon had it in its
cage: It is presumed that the snakes

as I considered, promoted to
the position of mayors secretary.
Many men can fill a position on
the board of local improvements
1a1rly acceptably, and there is often
at least one strictly ornamental mem
Der on every public board, but as for
good secretary, that is another
story. The selection of appointees
for the various fair-salaried positions
is governed to great extent by both
fitness and politics in municipal Of
fees, and as civil service reform had
curtailed the mayors appointing pow
ers to comparative handful of Offices,
there was keen competition for the
''plums," so-called. But when it came
to the appointing of secretary it was

enough to kill his chances; If delega-
tons went in to intercede for him
they were only injuring his chances

secretary must be a man in whom his
chief has confidence, and he is usual

newspaper men. To begin with, he
ought to be perfect artist in diplo-
macy. In great affairs of state a first
class diplomat is called a genius" in
lesser circles, and especially in poll,
tics, "a con man." But to be entirely
honest about it, there is no difference
except in the terms.
Now a 16 years experience in the
law business had fitted me peculiarly
we'll for this end of the job. 1 could
look a man or delegation squarely in
the eye and say that the mayor was

men, but because the truth is much

To make as many friends az possible
for his CHIEF, and as few enemies, in
his dealings with the politicians and
the public, is naturally one Of the es-
sentials in holding down" this Job.
And it goes without saying that. all
men like to be treated with courtesy.
Enemies can easily be made by q
rough and discourteous manner, and
even by Impotence and Indifference.
Especially is this true among the poll
ticians. Every man who comes to a
mayors Office on political business
either has, or imagines he has, a GER
tain amount of influence. If he is met
with a churlish reception he does not
easily forget it, and may carry the
memory Of his visit clear into the next
convention. 1t is not in the least nee
essary nor advisable to "kotow" to
any man; but a cheerful and polite
greeting is just the kind of a greeting
which any man prefers, and if you fol-
low that rule strictly it is a winner in
the end. OF course, your politeness
may be thrown away entirely on some
people, but an undertaking and sim

Terrible Experience Of a Manchester

London.-"O Lord, save me!" were
the startling words that greeted the
cars of the men who had just fired a
Statfordshire iron furnace the other
morning. At first they ridiculed the
voice and suspected trick Then the
cries were repeated, and when the
charging door of the furnace was
opened scorched and blackened fig.

among them. At the hospital the man
gave his name as Perry, and said that
he hailed from Manchester.
The furnace, which is at the works
Of the Midland Coal, Coke and Iron
Company at Apedale, near Newcastle
! Under-Lyme, is adjacent to the high
way, and Perry, tramping past,
thought that it would make a good
resting place for the hight. The fur.

bars and the firebox with coal. Then
they started the fire, which was well
under way when they heard the cry:

In order to get out of the melting
chamber Perry had to climb over the
dam and jump through the scorchine
flames to the charging hole. Had he
been i've minutes later he would have
been burned to death.
