ing the law relative to assessments,
and how they are made.
Explaining, he said: when blanks
are left at the domicile or place OF
business of persons they are frequently
filled out and mailed to this office with
out being signed. In such shape they
are worthless to us. The law requires
that not only must they be signed, but
must be sworn to. This can be done
before notary, If it is more conve-
nient to the taxpayer, but this Is not
necessary if the taxpayer will bring
the document here, as it can be at
tested to in this Office without any
charge to the taxpayer"
Gen. Glynn also declared that many
of the taxpayers fail to take advantage
of the opportunity they have to pro-
test against the assessment if they
care to do so. The assessors have been
out in their district since Jan. 3, and
will have all the assessments In by
March Is. From March 16 to March 81
the books will be open for inspection
by the taxpayers, and it is then, said
the General, that all who have protests
to make should make them. Many fall
to take advantage of this law. said
Gen. Glynn, and wait until they see
their assessment on their tax bills be-
fore they raise any protest. while they
had the opportunity for fifteen days to
inspect the assessments.

National Lies Record.

The semi-annual statement of the
National Life Insurance company-the
Vermont company that every business
man has reason to point to with just
pride makes another excellent showing
for the past six months. Its income was
$4,400,74O.45 and it paid $3,2Ss,634.10
to members, which was at the rate of
100000 weekly. During the past six
months the company has issued 1894
policies carrying insurance of $10,257,-
262.66. On July l the company had in
force S7,555 policies, amounting to
$172,077, 570.61. Each succeeding six
months period puts this company farther
ahead, making it today one of the most
substantial concerns of the kind in the
country.

A Word to Deposltors In Savings Banks

There are many matters connected
with human affairs that are beyond
human knowledge.
We know they exist, but why, Omni'
potence only understands.
But when it comes to cold-blooded,
every day business affairs like banking,
we find that given conditions certainly
produce their logical results.
Here is concrete ILLUSTRATION
On the first day of July, 1907. the
HYDE Park Savings Bank had deposits
aggregating sS44, 1884. Four years
later, to wit, on the first day of July,
1911, those deposits had increased to
e. ,Ols, 3O8.77 l39 per cent, or sl,l74,-
1884 gain In four years.
The first utterance given to state
msnt of this kind is, alt cannot be
true
The second is, "The growth is
phenomenal.
And then We say, at is simply
wonderful-how can it beT
Figures do not lie and the cold facts
in the matter are that in the little
village of Hyde Park. with its population
of only 423, there is a Savings Bank
which the people Of Vermont hold in
such high esteem that for four years the
deposits therein have exceeded the
Withdrawals by between 5000 and
$1,000 for every working day in the four
years. To be exact about it, 1885 per
working day.
What 10 the explanation?
Simply that the people of Vermont
have watched the growth Of the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust
Company with unusual interest because
of Its management and its methods OF
investments.
They have not failed TO observe that
in it's entire existence OF more than
twenty-five years, the funds of the bank
have been invested with such excellent
Judgment and such painstaking care
that the bank has record, probably
unparalleled, Of never having lost 1
dollar by poor note.
The man or boy having money tt
deposit has simply said to himself, "th,
very safest, the very strongest, and thu
most conservative Savings Bank man
agement is none too good for me- and i
the four per cent interest paid by tn,
Hyde Park bank is the highest rate o
interest paid by any Vermont bank, ant
, If it is perfectly safe to send money b.
mail-and the records show that not
dollar of deposits sent by mail to thi
bank was ever lost-why shouldn't
place my funds for investment and SAT
, keeping In the Hyde Park bank ?"
{ The question IN = natural one and tn
answer follows as naturally as the nigh
follows the day.
Really, there is nothing mysteriou
] about this abnormal and phenomena
! growth.

vince those Of the JeffersouiAn school OF
philosophy that the greatest good OF the
greatest number is to be gained BY sub
ordination Of personal ambition. But
unfortunately there has been no time in
the national life Of this people when
their finer sentiments could be fully
realized. They have had TO shape prac-
ticable policies in accordance with the
needs created by ever changing cireum-
stances. Consequently the Sherman
law, designed to afford individual scope
and satisfaction was almost useless as a
means TO such ends. All the drastic
antitrust laws steered by one school of
thought actually invited q government
of men" practical business men. Now,
not one of the more capable public men
of our day would venture the assertion
that, (given protective tariff system)
if the whole volume of antitrust legisla-
ton had been vigorously enforced, so
that every instance Of restraint Of trade
had been put an end to, and an indus
trial revolution instituted, agriculture
and manufacturing would have Ian.
guished. But they would assert, aud
figure so as to prove their point that the
American people, as whole body would
have been behind in the competition
among nations for supremacy in trade,
and permitting, as means to that end,
combines and "conspiracies in restraint
of trade, which serve the purpose OF
economical plans, though having in
them possibilities of mischief.
We, the American people, must cher
ish our ideals and accept the trusts

Morgans for the Cavalry
The Morgan Horse Club Wants Ten weIi-Bred
Qeldings

ne morgan Horse Club wants len Weii.bred
deldings
= The Morgan Horse Club, an outgrowth
of the Vermont State Fair, which will be
held at White River Junction, Septem-
Der Is, 20, 81 and %, will be active in
proving that the Morgan is profitable to
breed and that there is ready market
for the Morgan horse.
Mr.. IL. S. Wardner the president OF
the club, is active in the belief that the
Morgan should be the horse for the gov
eminent cavalry service aud together
with the assistance of other officers Of
the club early last spring secured the
services of Mr.. Arthur w. Peters of
Bradford, VT, for the purpose of furn-
fishing ten Morgan geldipgs. When this
number of Morgans have been purchased
they are to be turned over to the United
States government for test of their
efficiency as cavalry horses.
Mr.. Peters has reported to the club
that he is meeting with very good sue
cess up to this time, and there is every
reason to believe that he will be able to
secure in Vermont ten satisfactory Nor
gan geldings, not under four years OF
age or over six, as near the old type as
can now be found, and reasonably we'll
bred, that will pass the requirements OF
the government as to soundness and
type. In selecting these horses Mr.
Peters will have the advice and assis.
lance of Captain Frank Tompkins OF
the Eleventh Cavalry u. S. A., who Is
now assigned to the position of Military
Science and Tactics at Norwich Univer.
sity, Mortified, Vt. 1t would be helpful
to the cause if parties owning or know
ing of horses of the above description
that are for sale would inform MIR
Peters.
The price allowed by the United
States forcavalry horses at the present
time is only about one hundred and
eighty dollars, so there will be no op'
portunity to obtain fancy figures. The
horses will be paid for by The Morgan
Horse club as delivered to Mr.. Peters
and will be turned overGo t he govern
ment.

Artificial Lakes In Vermont.

The Green Mountain State boasts of
a host of natural lakes Of varying sizes
and invariable beauty, but the creation
of artificial lakes is needed nevertheless.
The construction OF dams for the pur-
pose named forms not only q source of
splendid water power but also an at
tractive body of water for the purpose
of fish culture and the promotion of
towns scenic beauty.
Vermont has endless opportunities for
the development Of water power 10 this
way, and it is to be hoped that the pro-
gressive spirits OF every community in
which dam can be built and water
secured will take advantage of the OPP
portunity. An illustration of what is
being done in the direction indicated is
afforded by the Worthwhile Messenger
which says:
"Hardwick is to be congratulated on
following the example that Worthwhile
set her sister towns in this valley by
voting to build big dam below that
village and thus form large lake for
power purposes. Now Hardwick will
begin to grow as never before, as its
manufacturers can be assured OF ample
power. What Worthwhile has done,
what Hardwick will do so0u, 10 what
johnson should do, dam the Lamoille
River above that beautiful village, and
have power plant that will be ample
for the future growth that is sure to
follow. II needed for no other purpose,
it would furnish white coal, the clean
est nd-best ever discovered for heating
purposes. The best investment Morris.
vile ever made WAS the big dam and
beautiful Lake Lamoille. Present and
future years will demonstrate this.

in Vermont which cannot have its Lake
