NO NEED FOR REDUCTION
Of State Tax on Savings Banks, Says
Commissioner Williams.

An interesting statement of savings
bank conditions was made by the state
bank commissioner, + @ Williams, at
the meeting OF the farmers club Of the
Vermont legislature at Montpelier last
night. The hearing was over the bill
in the Senate to reduce the bank tax
from seyen-tenths of one per cent. to
one-half of one per cent,
Mr. Williams said that there was not
the need OF this reduction now that
there was six months ago, inasmch as
rates durin gthat time have gone higher
because several of the large insurance
companies have withdrawn from farm
mortgage investment in the West. And
this has thrown more money into saw,
ngs banks in Vermont Since the limit
in savings banks was taken off four
years ago, the deposits in Vermont have
rapidly increased A bank that is stead
lily increasing its deposits has hard work
TO keep up its surplus and keep invest
ments good at par. Vermont banks
stand high; if they can increase their
surplus they will stand even higher The
trust companies are not compelled to
keep Up surplus, they do it simply
as good business management. The bill
under discussion compels it.
The ambitious banks that are paying
-four per cent. are constantly reaching
out for new business; those that are
paying three and one-half per cent are
content with existing conditions Mr..
Williams argued that all savings banks
should have at least a 10 per cent. sur
plus. If we can keep the rate at four
per cent, money viii continue to come
from sources outside the state Six or
seven of the so savings banks in the
state are paying three and one-half per
cent The others pay -four per cent. II
present conditions can be maintained,
there viii be no need OF reducing the
tax from seven-tenths to fve,teuths OF
one per cent. Mr. Williams answered
many questions put to him by interested
listeners.

NEW YORK, Dec. II, 1909.-Mgr. Coore-
man, Cardinal Archbishop of Belgium:
Through kilograms in the papers America

last moments your grace administered eS-
IRENE JUNCTION in the presence OF Baroness
Vaughan, the Kings daughters being re
fused admittance. You allege that, the
conscience IS clear on the subject. 1t is
also reported that you support your action
with the view that the church's code of
morals Is the same for the King as for the
people" From the standpoint Of the
.hurch, the Kings situation is regular.

grace:
/. Was the baroness, to your knowledge,
divorced from her lawful husband, and In
what court Of lawf
2 Is the now established precedent that
divorced persons may remarry sanctioned
by his holiness the Pope2 For, as the
rhurch's code of morals Is the same for
he King as for the people," there are thou
sands Of honest Catholics In this country
who would gladly free themselves from

fresh bonds of wedlock.

ing Is eagerly awaited by the Catholics of

nUiry Notes,

The best favored butter in the
world is made in private dairies-and
the worst, too.
A little extra care and food pays
big returns when used to hasten the
maturity of the dairy heifers.
When cows are allowed a reasonable
amount of exercise healthier and
stronger calves are usually obtained.
Success in dairying demands that
a man breed and develop his own cows
as far as possible, and buy, if he
must, wisely.
No man can develop a cow into a
high producer unless that cow had an
inherited quality of development TO
start with.
There is a certain class OF dairy
farmers who refuse to sit down and
figure, through fear that it will upset
a few of their pet theories.
Common sense is better than the
best dairy instruction of the day, but
it clearly shows lack of common
sense when a dairyman discards all
recent Investigations.
1t takes a cow weeks, sometimes
months, to get accustomed to new
home. So strong Is this native at
tachment that a change seriously af
fects her temper and conduct.

Diversified Farming.

1t Is always refreshing and fnsplr-
ing to see others doing good things
and producing superior results, says
the Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean. The
man who is doing things a little bet
ter than the average man is a bene-
factor to the race. If he demonstrates
through his work and results that a
better living can be made from GER
tain conditions he is doing a work in
the world OF the highest economic or
der.
In recounting the work and deeds
of man we are prone to select al
most impossible ideal types, often so
high that they are little understood.
almost impossible to copy by the
masses. We often pass by the good
man who is doing valuable things in a
small way and which in the end are
worth more to the masses than many
Of the so-called great things that have
popular airing. Many small good
things are worth more to humanity
than a few large things. The small
everyday deeds are what feed, clothe,
shelter and educate the world Every
deed counts for something.
Farming is more becoming a bust

nulled by Justice Gerard, September Il,

At that time it was supposed that the
young girl would marry Clarkson, but
instead she decided on a remarriage to

young Osborne in charge of the Lake
wood gas plant. The young couple went
there last fall. taking a cottage near
the Lakewood hotel
