A New Lease Law.

a New Lease Law.
The lease books from the various
counties Of the state are in the state
land department, and show that there
has been little difference In the leas-
ing prices for this year and last year.
While in individual leases the lease
price was u up pretty well, the gen.
eral average was about the same, re-
CARELESS of the higher prices secured
on sales. This is caused no doubt by
n fact that the department made
only one-year leases this season. This
on account OF the new law providing
for leases for agricultural purposes.
This law will be put into practical
operation in the leases of next year,
and five-year leases will be made both
for agricultural and grazing purposes,
and on term leases, the lease returns
will no doubt show a material gain
over any received in past years. In
fact If the theory of those who en-
dorsed agricultural leases proves cor
rect the amount brought to the in
come fund from that source next year
should run well into the thousands.

Need Not Pay Extra Tax.


Complaint has been made of the fact
that county ~treasurers over the state
are charging an additional 81 payment
OF taxes of noh-residents, and the at
torney general has been asked for an
opinion upon the situation. He holds
just as did Attorney General Clark
that there is no warrant of law for
county treasurers making such a
charge. The session of 1887 provided
for such collection, but at the time oil
the complaint of the laws In 1903, the
right to make this charge was cut from
the law, and as the legislature adopted
the complication, that right no longer
exists as a statutory provision, and ii
is held to be an unwarranted charge.

Ladies Night at Y. M. l. Club.

On Wednesday evening, April 4, the
trustees of the Young Mems I'm.
provement club rendered a reception
to the members and their lady friends
from 8 until II o'clock p. m. The oc-
casion was one of interest, especially
to the ladies', as this was the first op-
portunity given them for the inspec-
tion of the rooms or to enjoy In any
manner the hospitality Of the club.
About one hundred gentlemen and
ladies were present, the attendance
being somewhat smaller than was
anticipated by the committee in
charge of the affair. That more
members did not avail themselves of
the opportunity offered to entertain
their lady friends was due, no doubt
to a mistaken idea that the reception
was to be a "dress" affair and it
would be we'll to have it understood
now, once and for all that this club
does not stand on formality and your
invitations must be read INFORMAL"

trustees were assisted in receiving by
Col. and Mrs. G. S. Emery, Mrs. w.
A. Dane and Mrs. L. B. Wellman.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
with flowers, which after they had
served their purpose in the club
rooms, were sent to various sick per-
sons in the village. Refreshments of
fancy biscuits, saltines, and home
made candy were served and there

To Savings Bank Depositors

Among the many reasons why yor
may properly give this bank the pref

iting your savings it suggests the fol-
lowing
FIRST-The Bank is aVermont in
stituCiop. Aside from it's deposits in
reserve cities, it has never loaned a
dollar upon notes which were not Ell
Their secured upon Vermont property
or had strong Vermont guarantor.
SECOND-In it's more than % years
of existence it has been so painstak-
ing, conservative and careful in the
investment of funds placed within
it's keeping by contiding public that
it has never lost single dollar by a
bad note.
THIRD-It pays four per cent inter-
est, compounds semi an uually with
outaction on the part of the depositor,
and pays all taxes on deposits, what
ever the amount of the deposit may
be.
FOURTH- It's mana gers are men

FIFTH Absolute safety and not
those high rates of interest which can

been the guiding principle of this
bank. 1t never owned a note upon
which it received more than six per
cent interest.
'SIXTH-It has now passed the Two
Million Dollar mark in assets, a fact
which speaks louder than words of
the faith and confidence felt by the
people of Vermont in this strictly
home Savings Bank. No other Saw
ings Bank located in small village
like Hyde Park, approaches the Hyde

which cannot be explained upon any
other theory than that of absolute
confidence in the painstaking watch

men who direct and govern in the in

its keeping by discriminating public.
