GAS SHORT HERE.
Break i'm Main Near Oklahoma
Line the Cause.
May Not Be Pressure to Supply
City Tonight.

The gas supply is practically cut off
in Topeka this afternoon owing to a
break in the big main of the Kansas
Natural Gas company near the Okla
homa state line early this morning
The supply began to weaken shortly
before noon and at o'clock this after
noon the gas was very weak. The first
news of the break came to the Topeka
office of the gas company about 8
O'Clock. AT that time the supply was
strong. The pressure diminished
throughout the day. Officers of the
company are not certain whether or
not there will be a sufficient pressure
tonight to supply the town.
''The only word we have received, -
said L. G. Treleaven of the gas COM
pany, sis to the effect that one of the
main line pipes broke near the Okla
homa state line early this morning I
can't say just when the break will be
repaired, but we hope to have a gas
supply tonight"

A Safe Savings Bank

There is every reason to believe
that the Savings Banks of Vermont
are all safe, sound and strong. That
the public so believe is evidenced
by the recent report of the Inspect
or of Banks showing almost unprec-
dented gains in deposits during the
past year. If the confidence in the
safety of Vermont Savings Banks,
however, is to be measured by the
growth of deposits, then unques-
tionably the Hyde Park Savings
Bank holds first place, for its per-
centage of increase in deposits dur
ing the three fiscal years ending
July /, 1910, barring perhaps some
recently established banks upon
which of course a percentage basis
of increase could not be computed,
is more thaD that of any other bank
in the state.
Stated in terms that can be I'M
derstood by all the deposits IN the
Hyde Park Savtng5 Bank during the
last three years have exceeded the
Withdrawals by more than 81 900
for each business day for the en-
tire three years. We know of no
parallel anywhere, except in SEINE
of the large City Banks.
The Hyde Bank pays 4 per cent.
interest, compounded semi annually
and deposits made before Novem-
Der 10th will draw interest from Oc-
tober LIST. 1t pays the taxes on all
deposits up to $4,000 and the La
noble County National Bank of
Hyde Park, under the same man
agement, will accept, upon the
same terms, any sums in excess of
this $1,000,
As evidencing the safety of max
ing deposits by mail, 1t may be
stated that in the more than twenty
one years of its existence, not a
dollar of remittance to the Hyde
Park Savings Bank, by mail, has
ever been lost. 1t is entirely safe
to make deposits either by personal
check, bank draft, postal money
order, express order, or cash in reg
letter. This Bank respect
fully solicits your deposits.

remedy was increased effort to get
