The Deerfield Valley Times
Opinion of the Hyde
Park Savings Bank

Ex-Governor Carroll S. Page believes in
the liberal use of printers ink, and as result
the name of Page and the little village of
Hyde Park, are household words throughout
the civilized world
Nineteen years ago Mr.. Page conceived the
idea of savings bank the prime object of
which would be to keep Vermont money in
Vermont industries and developing Vermont
enterprises.
The idea was a success from the start;
people have faith in Mr.. Page ann his conser-
vative business methods.
This faith has been justified by the fact that
in the whole course of its business history the
Lamoille County Savings Bank has not lost
one dollar on poor note, nor has it at pres
ent dollars worth of poor or doubtful paper.
Mr. Page believed the business had greater
possibilities, and applied the plan that had
won him success in his hide industy to his
savings bank idea, and began liberal cam
paign of advertising.
This plan drew criticism from certain quar-
tiers, but it also drew deposits and in the six
months that have elapsed since this campaign
of advertising started nearly a quarter of a
million dollars have been added to the depos-
its of the bank.
The best evidence that man can do thing
is the fact that he does it. Ex-Governor Page
had only to make the people understand that
he could invest their money at home, with
good security for every loan, and where such
security could be personally examined by the
bank officials, and the thing was accomplished.
Ex-Governor Page has built up a business
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 in
crease in deposits continue, will make Hyde
Park famous for Its savings bank as well as
its calfskins.
He has accomplished both these things in
little village in Northern Vermont far from
the great money centers, far from the realms
of "frenzed finance" This could only be
accomplished in one way: Carroll S. Page
believes in advertising.

THE ROOSEVELT POLICIES.
An Opinion That They will Leave
Permanent Impress.

It seems clear that the verdict of his
tory on the Roosevelt policies as whole,
as these will then be viewed in their
broader aspect, will be favorable. Ger
tainly there is no retreating from them
now. Gov. Black says that they are I'M
American. Perhaps he refers to railroad
regulation, the Presidents first great bat
tie. Andrew Carnegie, in commenting
on this at the time, said that America
was the only country in the civilized
world which had not been compelled to
take public control of its railroad rates,
and he believed that we should not es-
cape policy which the rest of mankind
had found necessary. We were the only
important country which allowed opiates
to be doled out to the babies of the peo-
pie as soothing syrups until Mr.. Roose-

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY.
Bulletin Lately Issued, Comments
Work at Weybridae.

We have received the 1907 report of
the Bureau of Animal Industry, which
sets forth the work of the Department of
Agriculture in its various divisions The
work of the Department has more than
doubled during the past year The work
has been in the line of inspection of meat
and animals shipped from one State to
another; in diseases of the domestic ami
mails, as well as of quite a number of
wild ones; in breeding horses, sheep,
COWS and poultry; also in feeding domes-
tic animals. Some of this work is car
ried on in connection with the different
State experiment stations.
In Colorado the work of breeding car
riage horses, we judge, has been devel-
oped but little, if any, more than it has
at the Morgan Horse Farm at Weybridge,
although it has been in operation year
or two longer. The stallion Cannon, at
least 1896 Morgan blood and is eligible
to registration in the American Morgan
Register.
We give below what is said regarding
the work of horse breeding in Vermont
VERMONT WORK.
Report of the Chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry
1.-The Morgan horse breeding work of
the Bureau has received great impetus
through the generosity of Mr.. Joseph
Battell of Middlebury, Vt. Mr.. Battell
is known for his devotion to the Morgan
horse and has from the first been greatly
interested in the Bureaus work. Feel
ing that the Importance of the work de
manded moe land than had been avail
able, Mr.. Battel offered to give the De-
partment $50 acres of land within .
miles of the village of Middlebury. The
offer was accepted and work was begun
on the farm April 16. 1907 The land
lies very well, the soil is good, and the
location is excellent f'r horse farm.
Since his first gift, Mr.. Battell has added
100 acres, making 400 in all, All the
horses In the Vermont experiment have
been transferred to the new farm at Mid
dlebury. which has been named the Nor
gan Horse Farm. Although the main
work is being done at the new farm, the
project is still being carried on in cooper
alton with the Vermont Experiment Sta
ton.
No purchases of horses were made dur
ing the year, but arrangements were
made to buy stallion as soon as funds
became available. which was done on
July !. The stallion, General Gates, is
particularly valuable acquisition. He
was bred by Mr.. Battell. and was sired
by Denning Allen out of Sallie Scott, by
a Thoroughbred. General Gates was
selected on account of his individuality
and his performance as a sire. He sired
the champion Morgan stallion at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition and has
made great impression on the horse
stock of central Vermont. Two of the
hllies purchased in 1906 were sired by
him. AT the time General Gates was
bought yearling filly by him out of
Ellen Zone of the mares purchased in
19O6) was also acquired.
On June 30, 1906, there were in the
Vermont stud nine brood mare, one 3
year-old tilly, two yearling fillies, six
weanling fillies, and one weanling colt.
During the spring four mares were bred

SAVE THE CORN CROP
Suggestion About Bringing in North
ern Grown Seed.

The extraordinary floods have over
flowed a great deal of the bottom land
in many of the river valleys in the
state. and whatever crops these lands
produce this year are yet to be plant
ed ia
In a large portion of the state the
continued raining has prevented the
planting of corn and has destroyed
that already planted. On account of
these conditions the larger part of the
corn land in Kansas cannot be plant
ed until the first of July. This makes
it important that the farmers of the
state be furnished at once with plenty
of seed corn of some early variety
which will mature before frost.
There are several of these varieties
which are grown in abundance in
northern Iowa and in other states of
the same latitude.
| 1t is suggested that an organization
| he made at once for the purpose of
securing a supply of this kind of seed
corn for the Kansas farmers. As soon
as such an organization is formed
someone could be delegated to ascer-
tain where and at what price supply
could be obtained; and at the same
time orders could be received from
| the different counties Prompt and
energetic work by an organization of
| this kind would save to the state OF
| Kansas it's corr crop of 1908.
| These suggestions are respectfully
submitted to the governor and to the
state board of agriculture, with the
| assurance that a large number of re-
sponsible citizens can be found who

several years he has been residing in

his versatility on the stage has brought
him several creditable professional en-

be found to be up to very high stand

THAT NORTH SIDE INSURANCE.
C. G. BlaIely Explains Why 1t Was
Cancelled.

To the Editor of the State Journal
The insurance on the Central Sash
and Door company's plant was not can
celled by the companies on account OF
the flood Notwithstanding a statement
to the contrary by w. w. Manspeaker
in the State Journal of last evening;
but the policies of four companies were
cancelled because the assured refused
to have the insurance written under
an acceptable form and pay the rate re-
quired by these companies. The matter
had been under consideration some
time previous to the coming of the high
waters, and Mr. Manspeaker well knew
what the companies were demanding
before the unfortunate flood conditions
existed.
The day before the usual notices of
cancellation were mailed to the Central
Sash and Door company, Mr.. Man
speaker was informed by one of the
special agents whose company after
wards served notice of cancellation
that companies would cancel their pol
icies unless the form was changed so as
to give the companies portion of the
the more hazardous which they were
covering under the policies. Further
more the notices of cancellation gave
the assured. as is required in all such
cancellations, five days in which to Sc
cure other insurance. These five days
would hold the insurance under these
policies in force until Sunday or Mon
day of next week, when any supposed
increase of hazard on account of the
flood would in all probability have
passed
Has any one known or heard of any
other insurance on the North side hav-
ing been cancelled on account of the
flood? Is it not strange that Of all the
policies insuring property on the North
side only the four little policies of the
four companies mentioned by Mr.. Man
sneaker should have been cancelled on
account of the flood? The fact is not a
single policy of the thousands insuring
North side property has been cancelled
