A grass fire north of La Jara
did several thousand dollars
worth of damage Sunday after
noon. 1t is said to have started
some place on the Salvation ranch
which was all burned over as was
also the school section and John
Shawcroft & Sons pasture The
Shawcrofts lost 150 tons of hay
and a half section of valuable
pasture. They had intended to
move their cattle over there last
Saturday but on account of ill
ness in the family of John w.
Shawcroft, the matter was post
poned. Had the cattle been in
the pasture it is doubtful if many
of them could have been saved
as the grass, flags and willows
along La Jara creek and aroyas
made a very hot fire A lot of cat
tie belonging to John Russell
We're saved with difficulty. About
100 tons of hay on the Newcomb
ranch and also some on Lee
Becker's place was burned other
stacks were saved by plowing
guard around the stackyard. Part
of hay bailing outfit, belonging
to johnson Bros, of Sanford, was
burned the bailer itself, was saved.
j. n. Shawcroft was hemmed
in and obliged to pass through
the fire. He was on foot and
luckily the grass was short where
he was caught. By holding his
breath he managed to escape in
jury but got his feet and legs
good and warm. John Shawcroft,
Sr., was short distance away
with the boys horses and obliged
to ride for his life. He thought
it was all off with Nathan for a
few minutes and suffered more
from the effects of the fire than
did Nathan. The fire stopped on
the north at the new road. In
all about 500 acres were burned
over. A. of it being valuable
pasture that was being saved for
late feed. The loss is keenly
felt by the owners as such things
cannot be replaced at any price
at this season. When all the hay
and pasture in the country is
either sold or cont acted for.

what few banks twenty-five years
old anywhere can say, namely, that
during it's entire existence it has
never lost a dollar by poor note.
Results are what tell the story.
"A pound of fact is worth a ton of
theory" The best evidence that a
bank will pursue the safest possible
course in banking is the fact that it
has done it.
That the depositing public have
come to have practically unlimited
faith in the safety of the Hyde
Park Savings Bank is shown by the
fact that for the past four years
the deposits have averaged to ex-
coed the Withdrawals by more than
5000 for every business day. It's
deposits exceeded it's Withdrawals
1t pays per cent and compounds
the interest semi pays all
the taxes, and, best of all, it earnest
ly courts a careful examination of
its assets and business management
by every Repositories by every
body interested to personally know
the bottom facts.
Deposits made by mail are shown
to be perfectly safe by the fact that
in it's entire existence not single
dollar has ever been lost in trans
mission to this bank through the
mails. The proper way is to send
by Registered Letter, Postal Money
Order, Express Money Order, or by
Check. Receipt will be returned the
day following it's arrival at Bank

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SOUND,
SAFE, STRONG SAVINGS BANK.

list. The principles governing It's
management should all conform to
the principals governing the man
agement of successful banks.
2nd.Th directors must direct.
Bird. They must have sufficient
pecuniary interest in the institution
to prompt them to be careful and
painstaking in the examination of
every loan offered.
4th. They must not be Indifferent,
inert or slothful. A good banker has
said that she would not give pic
ayune for a bank treasurer who did
not take his bank to bed with him. =
In short, not only the treasurer but
every one in any way connected with
the conduct of the bank must be
tireless and sleepless whenever it's
interests are in Jeopardy.
9TH. The managers OF the Bank
must not be spectators. Many a
fairly good man with purposes pure
and honest has been tempted to
take a flyer" in the stock market
and when he is ''pinched,' to use
Wall street slang-in other words
when the market goes wrong and he
is called upon to make good his
margins steals the money from
his bank. He does not call it 'tsteal-

but quite often tomorrow" never
comes and the bank official is dis
graced and the bank ruined.
The careful man who thinks of
making a deposit naturally asks
care there any banks which size
up to the model above outlined? 2"
We reply Certainly: the great ma
jority of Vermont banks do The
Hyde Park Savings Bank fills the
bill in every one of the above par
ticulars.
The person who contemplates
placing his or her hard-earned saw
ings in the bank should adopt this
motto: 1.-THE safest bank is none too
safe and the best bank is none too
good for me-
Acting upon this motto the first
inquiry is How careful, how pains
taking, how conservative in making
it's investments and loans has been
the bank where / contemplate plac-
ing my funds?' for this is the high
est possible test to which a banks
management can be subjected.
Measured by this standard, the
Hyde Park Savings Bank stands at
the head and can truthfully say.
