TO SaViIllIySi 'lB Bank DepOSitors,

The LamoiIle County Savings
Bank & Trust Company of Hyde
Park, Vermont, will receive your
deposits on the most favorable terms
consistent with safe and conservative
banking. '''''
Among themahy reasons why You
may properly give this bank the
preference in choosing place 10,
depositing your savings it suggests
the following;
FIRST-The Bank is Vermont
institution. Abide from its deposits
in reserve cities, it has never loane |
Il dollar upon notes which were not
either secured upon Vermont prop
erty or had a strong Vermont
guarantor.
SECOND - In its more than
tw enty-two years. existence it has
been so painstaking, conservative
and careful in the investment of
funds placed within its keeping by a
coniiding public that it has never
lost single dollar 'bya bad note.
TH1RD-It pays four per cent.
interest, compounds semi-annnally
without action on the part of the
depositor, and pays all taxes on
deposits, whatever the. amount OF
the deposit may be.
FOURTH-Its managers are men
known to people of the State as
ultra conservative in matters OF
investments-men who never specu-
ate on Wall Street or own specula-
i've stocks'of any kind.
FIFTH-Absolute safety and not
those high rates Of interest which
can be secured by taking chances,
has ever 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,
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 Savings Bank located ina
small village like Hyde Park,
approaches the Hyde Park Savings
Bank in growth, a fact which cannot
be explained upon any other theory
than that Of absolute confidence in
the painstaking watchfulness and
sound Judgment of the men who
direct and govern in the investment
of the funds entrusted to its keeping
by discriminating public.

Some Things Woodstock
Needs.

Vermont needs many things; some
are enumerated on the first page of
this paper, and Woodstock, for her
individual prosperity and health, is
in want of some things-which she
might have.
Woodstock needs better streets
and roads. The roads in this vicinity
are as good as the average, which
sadly is not high in this state, but
they might be great deal better by
systematic expenditure and expert
oversight. With the means at hand,
much is done the highways are
improving, but as permanent high
ways they are not monuments OF
road-making.
The village is promised better
roadways the coming season, at least
through one or two of the principal
avenues of traffic, and they ought to
be hailed with acclamations of Joy
after much suffering mud and dust.
The main thoroughfare, from the
railway station to the upper end OF
the village-the most-travelled high
way-has been the worst in all the
four seasons the worst for vehicles,
for citizens on foot, and for residents
along it's line. The money and time
expended there in the past ten years
would have made pretty substan-
tial roadbed, but most of it is still q
discomfort and terror to travel
lers.
Woodstock needs better-equipped
and better drilled fire department
for which it must pay more. The
village now gets all that it pays
for. and perhaps more, but it is moi
too much to say that serious fire in
which seconds counted would find
the present force unprepared. 1t is
not to be expected that men will turn
out and drill for little or no pay, but
the last two alarms demonstrated
that drill is necessary for speed and
efficiency. And the men cannot be
expected to buy their own equip
ment. The village must increase itf
meagre appropriation or pay for itt
fire department., and it might save
thousands by immediate action,

HUMOROUS QOIPS
Where Women Lose.


man whose hair is scar and wan.
10 surely bald
And sporty called,
Yet women often dote upon
The scamp.
But let a woman lose her hair
Her life is wrapped in deep despair.
She uses rats
And dotes on cats,
But finds no lover anywhere.
Poor tramp!
Her life's without
resting place
In lovers arms
Or fond embrace.
A man whose waist has gone before.
Whose figures sylphiike nevermore.
Is surely fat.
But what of that?
His shape he never need depiore.
Because
The laws
That rule the realm of sentiment
All give the fat man special place
And compensate for youthful RERcA
And as for love.
IT'S far above
The rule OF mere Rvoirdupoia,
But let a woman pass the line
OF, say, one hundred eighty nine
IT'S tragedyl
She cannot charm the critic eye
Or cen incite the poet sigh.
She's fat,
Just that.
Nor all the anguish of denial
Can help the figures OF the dial
That tells her weight
And makes her hate
Her friends.
Thus fate to women In unkind.
The double standard makes us blind
And fairness ends. =

Oddly enough the season which
gives women fine broadcloths again
as modish frock and costume materials
also introduces them to unusually shay
gy effects in costume cloths. Zibel-

heavy boue borders on soft. rough ser

quality and color, but rough and thick
for all their ightness Of weight and
suDpleness are among the very fash
ionable street costume materials, and
there are various soft. thick. rough
mixed cloths in the same class.
The fad for double faced materials
has had something TO do with this in
creased thickness of suit materials.
and one finds cloths which one would
ordinarily rank as coatings being made
IN into tailored suits. There are OF
course plenty OF smoother, lighter suit
ines, too, but woolllness is unques'
