In the Republican Camp

The Montpelier Argus things j.
G. Sargent's chances of securing the
nomination for attorney general are
not of the strongest. Hale X Oar
ling of Chelsea was much earlier in
the field; he has served two terms in
the House and his work in revising
the statutes of the State has given
him a servicable knowledge of the
groundwork of his duties. These
two considerations, thinks the Mont
pelier paper, are likely to operate
strongly in Mr. Darling's favor.
1t is further. suggested that there
is much uncertainty in the Repub-
lican camp Usually there are plenty
of active candidates, but Prouty is
almost the only one who jumped into
the field early and with any assur-
ance. He didn't hesitate, and like
wise he probably has strong backing.

Tells Our Readers How To Mix Best Rheuma
tism Cure.
A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which any one can cas-
lily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle,
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip
ton pharmacy at small cost, and be-
ing Of Negotiable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken
regularly for few days, is said to
overcome almost any case of Rheu-
matism.. The pain and swelling,
if any, dininishes with each dose
until permanent results are obtained,
and without injuring the stomach.
While there are many so-called
Rheumatism remedies, patent med
icines, ETC., some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt,
be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.

$4,000 Increase
Quarter of a Million in Deposits
Gained in Seven Months
Success of Pages Bank
The LamOiIIe County Savings Bank
and Trust Co. Has Passed the
Century Mark

The town of Hyde Park is credit
ed with a population of less than
800, yet its bank is one of the big
banks of the State of Vermont
This is another case of "the man be-
hind the gum" for the result is due
to the connection Of the Hon. c. S.
Page with the Lamoille County
Savings Bank and Trust Company.
Governor Page has given much time
and thought to this bank and has
every reason to be proud not only of
its remarkable growth but still more
of its reputation. This bank makes
the undisputed claim that in some
twenty years it has not lost dollar
by bad loan, that it does not own
a doubtful note and that now and
for twenty years it has invested all
its money in Vermont loans This
record speaks well tor this State
when business has been conducted
so wisely that neither panic nor in
flation has caused those borrowing
from the Hyde Park bank to fail
to meet all obligations.
"How did Page do itl" That
question interests not only other
bankers but all business men. The
answer is by liberal use of printing
ink in advertising and by backing
up his advertising by delivering the
goods. His style of advertising is a
different style, perhaps less dignified,
yet never in bad taste. His an
nouncements emphasize the point
that any money deposited in this
bank will be loaned in Vermont and
will benefit the depositor not only
directly by interest earned but also
indirectly by aiding to develop Yer
mont. This argument has doubtless
brought thousands of dollars to Hyde
Park, but the money would not have
been sent if the depositor had not
had confidence in Mr.. Page and if
the liberal use of newspaper adver-
Using had not brought the Page
bank to the favorable notice of the
public. TheNpeople of Vermont are
thrifty and prosperous. very little
affected on the whole by the recent
panic and able and willing to put
large sums OF money where they
think that il will be safe and will
pay fair interest.
The same methods and reputation
that has brought deposits of one and
a quarter million to the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust
Company will doubtless double this
sum IN time less than was required
to get the first three hundred thous-
and dollars.
A good bank is one OF the most
useful institutions in building up a
community. Ex-Governor Page has
not builded for himself alone in
making this bank strong. Its strength
is the measure Off is power for USE
iul service in building up the State.
May the time soon come when its
present deposits shall be doubled
and may Mr.. Page be on hand 10
guide its administration.

Excellent Advice to Young
Men and Women on
Saving the Pennies

1t is fact that people in general
have little conception OF the cumul-
alive power of compound interest.
Money at compound interest grows
night and day, ceaselessIy, and when
compounded semi-annually grows to
an extent that very few reallze unless
they have taken the trouble to figure
it out.
How many young men there are
that waste, in ways that are worse
than useless, the hard earned dollars
OF their Younger days and come
down to old age in poverty
How few young men there are
who could not at the age of fifteen
begin to save at least ten cents per
day =!
Even this moderate sum, il placed
at semi-annral compound interest,
would produce surprising results.
Here is what it would amount to
at four per cent. compounded semi
annually, commencing at fifteen and
continuing until the ages OF IS, 49,

How Savings Banks Compute
Interest.

Most Vermont Savings Banks
place deposits on interest the first of
the month if made before the 9Th.
If made after the 5tb, they draw
from the-fiIst of the following month.
The Hy Park Savings Bank has
always paid interest from the begin
ming of the quarter on deposits made
before the middle of the quarter,
thus giving and taking exactly alike.
On deposits made now OF at any
time before February 18th they COM
pute interest from January Ist.
Those made between February 18th
to May 18th draw interest from
April Ist.

nwords can express for your last
weeks editorial in regard to the
governor question. 1t is high time
for the citizens of this State to ask
this question, how much longer is
this kind of I scratch your back and
you scratch mine kind of politics 60
ing to prevail in Vermont? Have
the people really forgotten two years
ago and are we to have-a repetition
Of those scenes this fall? Are our
paid State officials again to take the
stump in behalf of partisan politics?
Has it ever occurred to you if at that
time these same state officials had
been doing what they were paid for
that the appointing of a Legislative
investigating committee later in the
season might have been avoided! If
this governor business turns out as
you predict, and if this other thing
takes place as you infer it may, I be-
lieye it viii do more to demoralize
politics in Vermont than anything
that has happened in the last fifty
years.
In closing | wish again to thank
you for your last weeks editorial.
