A Word to DepOSitOTS 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
tainly 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.94. Four
years later to wit, on the first day
of July, 1911, those deposits had in
creased to s2,O1S,SO6.77; 1879 per cent.
or $L174,14S.43 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, ut is simply won
derful-how can it 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 Saw
ings 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 it. $685. per working day
! What is the explanation?
Simply that the people of Vermont
have watched the growth of the La
noble County Savings Bank and
Trust Company with unusual interest
, because OF its management and It's
methods OF investments.
They have not failed TO observe
that in its entire existence of more
than twenty-five years, the funds OF
the bank have been invested with
such excellent judgment and with
such panstaking care that the bank
has record, probably unparalleled,
OF never having lost a dollar by a
poor note.
The man or boy having money to
deposit has simply said TO himself,
the very safest, the very strongest
and the most conservative Savings
Bank management is none too good
for me, and If the four per cent in
terest paid by the Hyde Park bank is
the highest rate of interest paid by
any Vermont bank, and If il is per
fectly safe to send money by mail
and 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 and safe keeping in the
Hyde Park bank?"
The question is natural one and
the answer follows as naturally as
the night follows the day.
Really. there is nothing mysterious
about this abnormal and phenomenal
growth.

Of bomb gun, and Sheldon heard a
pane of window glass crash behind
him. At the same moment Joan flung
the dynamite. the fuse Kissing and
spluttering, into the thick Of the
blacks. They scattered back in too
great haste to do any more shooting.
Satan. aroused by the one shot. was
snarling and painting to be let out.
Joan heard and ran to let him out.

and the comedy began.
Rifles and spears were dropped or
flung aside in a wild scramble for the

WABASH Rx. IS REORGANIzED
FINANCIAL REIMBURSEMENT OF
RAILROAD DETERMINED.
Believed In Wall Street That Control
Of the Road Has Been Wrsstsd
From the ooulds.

New York, Dec. 6.-"Financial re,
adjustment and reorganization" OF the
Wabash railroad was determined upon
ut meeting Of the directors. The an.
nouncement caused something of q
surprise. 1t having been generally be-
neved that the reorganization plan Of
the Wheeling and Lake Erie.Wabash
terminal roads would be accepted,
thereby materially reducing Wabash's
financial burden.
Winslow 8. Pierce. once prominent
figure In oil Gould projects, returned
to his early Affiliations as chairman
Of the Wabash board and reorganiza-
ton committee. succeeding E. T. JEFF
frey, who continues a. a director.
Other new men on the board are Ed.
win Hawley. who comes in not because
Of any interest in Wabash, but as q
practical railroad man; Robert Goelet
and Alvin w. Krech, president of the
Equitable Trust Co.. which is trustee
Of the first and refunding and exten.
sion mortgages. Of the Wabash road.
One Of the unexpected incidents Of
the proposed reorganization is the
naming Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., az syn.
dicate managers. That firm owns the
greater part II not all of the $4,000,
900 notes for which the Wabash is
guaranteed. but its introduction into
the reorganised company is believed in
Wall street quarters to have some
deeper Significance. Relations be.
tween Kuhn, Loeb 4 Co., and the
Goulds have not been especially friend.
" aince the unexpected withdrawal Of
the bankers from Missouri Pacific I'm.
sncing early in the year.
Although one Of the leading inter.
ests in the Wabash reorganization is
authority for the statement that the
readjustment will not involve receiver.
ship. that point Is yet to be settled.
II will not be definitely decided until
those who are to assume control Of the
property have made a careful examin.
alton into its physical and financial
condition.
Semi-annual interest on about SAL.
100000 Of four per cent refunding
bonds falls due Jan. I, 1912. Repre-
sentatives of the road say every pro
vision to meet this interest has been
made and the recent course Of the
bonds in the stock market reflected
these assurances.
However, on the news Of reorganiza.
ton, the bonds as well as the common
and preferred shares, broke sharply,
with only partial recovery. Dealing,
In the bonds were unusually heavy,
constituting the feature of trading in
that division Of the market.
Conjecture as to the future Of Wa
bash became rife as soon as announce
ment Of reorganization was published
Il is generally believed in financial
circles that control of the property ha.
been wrested from the Goulds and the
fact that Chairman Pierce occupies a
similar position with the Western
once q Gould line. but now
owned by the Rockefellers. gave rise
to the thought that It might be &C
quired by these interests.
Tho Wabash's close connection with
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western al
Buffalo seems to make such connec
ton plausible. but officials Of the lat
tor road deny any knowledge of
deal with Wabash.

Lightning Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only 169 peo-

from liver, kidney or stomach trouble
is vastly greater. but not if Electric
