Word 10 DepOsitOrs in Savings
Banks.

There are many matters connect.
ed with human affairs that are be.
yond human knowledge.
We know they exist. but why,
Omnipotence only understands.
But when It comes to cold.blooded
every day bsuiness affairs like bank
ing We find that given conditions Ger.
lainly produce their logical results.
Here is a concrete illustration.
On the first day of July. 1907, the
Hyde Park Savings Bank had de-
posits aggregating SS44.15S.34. -Four
years later, to wit, on the first day
OF July, 1911, those deposits had in
creased to S2,OlS,80677; 1879 per cent.
or Sl.174,l4S.i3 gain In four years
The first utterance given to state
ment OF this kind is 1t cannot be
true"
The second is, THE growth is phe-
nomenal."
And then we say. 1T is simply won
derful-how can II be-"
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 1923. there Is a SAY
ngs Bank which the people of Yer.
mont hold in such high esteem that
for four years the deposits therein
have exceeded the Withdrawals by be
tween $500 and $1,000 for every work.
ing day in the four years. To be ex.
act about II. $685. per working day.
What is the explanation?
Simply that the people Of Vermont
have watched the growth OF the La.
mobile County Savings Bank and
Trust Company with unusual interest
because OF It's management and It's
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 with
such painstaking care that the bank
has record. probably unparalleled,
of never having lost n dollar by a
poor note.
The man or boy having money TO
deposit has simply said to himself,
the very safest, the very strongest
aud the most conservative Savings
Bank management Is none too good
for me. and II the four per cent In.
terest paid by the Hyde Park bank IL
the highest rate OF interest paid by
any Vermont bank. and II Il is per.
iectly safe to send money by mail
aud the records show that not a
dollar OF deposits sent by mail to
this bank was ever lost--why
shouldn't | place my funds for In.
vestment aud safe keeping in the
HYDE Park bank2'
The question Is a natural one and
the answer follows az naturally as
the night follows the day.
Really. there Is nothing mysterious
about this abnormal and phenomenal
growth.

PRIME MINISTER
ASQUITH HOOTED
INTO SILENCE
CONTINUED from LIST pagel

During three quarters Of an hour,
Mr.. Asquith rose AT short intervals
and read sentence OF two from
manuscript, only to be overwhelmed
by jeers, hootlngs and cries, among
which traitor" was the most frequent
but with Redmond" Patrick Ford, Z"
and American dollars often distin-
gulshable.
Again and again the prime minister
tried TO speak but his voice was
drowned in the whirlwind He gave
utterance to few broken sentences,
a word or two of which could be
heard. Finally, he glared at his tor
mentors like a lion at bay. his
straight cut features flushed with
anger He closed his manuscript and
cried / sfxsHX
81 am not going TO degrade myself
| shall simply state the conclusion at
which the government has arrived"
Having announced the govern
ment's intentions as briefly and hur-
riedly as possible-although they
were not heard-the premier sank
back into his seat.
