SEEKING BETTER HALVES.
Amusing Items in Paris Daily $
Agony Column.

A glance at the agony" column of one
of the Paris papers inspires some curious
reflections. Most of the communications
are naturally of an amorous character,
and nearly all of them begin with a name
or code word by which those for whom
they are intended will recognize that the
message comes from one who is dear to
them. The first announcement is some
what cryptic. 1t is evidently inserted by
woman, but there is no mans name at
the beginning to catch his eye, and the,
lady does not sign her note. She simply
says: mon petit, have your letter. l leave
this evening. Write chez moi. I'll return
when you say so. A toll" What reason
able young woman! Evidently she is not
a femme expansive; otherwise she would
not be so philosophic, and her leave-taking
would read very differently. The next item
in the Petite Correspondence is addressed
to four initials, and is a gentle reproach
from a lover who cannot reconcile himself
to the absence of his idol "Paresseuse =

Cheshire County Crop Report.

The agriculturists of southwestern
New Hampshire are facing n very adj
verse season, and unless weather condi.
tons from now on are decidedly favor
able the farmers profits will be small
indeed. About the only crop that bids
fair to be extra good is corn, and even
this one will 90 wrong without occasion.
nj rains. The hay crop is below the aN-
erage from general standpoint. The
farmer who gets more than a two-thirds
crop NAV be considered fortunate. What
hay there is, is of excellent quality, and
those who have their haying already
completed have got it into their barns
in good condition. Hay ripened early
this year. There are several reasons why
this crop is not better this year In
the first place, the turf was all burned
up by the hot and dry weather last fall.
Then during the winter practically all
of the clover was killed out by the cold.
This is unusual, and, according to an
authority it happens only a few times
in lifetime. Early in the spring the
grass got fairly good start, but during
the last week in May excessive heat
spoiled the prospects.
Last year Hinsdale farmer put in a
little less than an. acre of alfalfa. and
this product seems to have tiourlshed.
About the third week in June nearly two
tons were harvested from this plot. and
it will be ready for a second cutting
nearly as heavy in a week. 1t is also ex.
pected that third crop will be produced
the latter part of August. Tobacco,
while not looking so well as it should, is
faring better than are some other crops
Most growers set out their plants during
the damp days early in June, but before
the plants got fairly rooted the dry
spell set in, and it has been necessary
to replace many plants which have died
Most of the tobacco growers in Hins-
dale used chemical fertilizer, and there
must be more or less moisture for these
to work to advantage. The hot weather
is favorable for growing the kind of
tobacco raised in Hinsdale, and with oc-
casional showers this crop may turn out
fairly well.
Potatoes are expected to be almost
failure. The acreage devoted to this
crop is considerably below the normal.
and weather conditions have been un.
favorable. 1t will not be surprising if
potatoes sell in October for double the
amount they have the past couple of
years. Berries were affected by the Sc
we're winter and dry weather this sum
mer, resulting in small yield in. each
variety. Fruit trees gave promise IN the
spring of good year, but the June drop
was very heavy as a result of the drouth.

A Word to Depositors
in Savings Banks

There are many matters connected with
human affairs that are beyond human
knowledge.
We know they exist, but why, 0mnipo,
tence only understands.
But when it comes to, cold-blooded,
every day business affairs like banking
we find that given conditions certainly
produce their logical results.
Here is a concrete illustration
On the first day of July, 1907, the Hyde
Park Savings Bank had deposits aggre-
eating $S44, 1884. Four years later, to
wit, on the first day of July, 1911, those
deposits had increased to $2,01S306.77;
1870 per cent or $1,174, 14S.43 gain in
four years.
The first utterance given to statement
of this kind is ut cannot be true"
The second is, "The growth is phenom
email"
And then we say, "It is simply wonder
ful-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
423, there is a Savings Bank which the
people of Vermont hold in such high es-
TEEN that for four years the deposits
therein have exceeded the Withdrawals
by between 5000 and $1,000 for every
working day in the four years. To be ex-
act about it, 1895 per working day.
What is the explanation?
Simply that the people of Vermont
have watched the growth of the Lamolle
County Savings Bank and Trust Company
with unusual interest because of its man.
agement and its methods of investments.
They have not failed to observe that in
its entire existence of more than % 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 dollar by a poor note.
The man or boy having money to de-
post 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 interest paid by the Hyde Park
bank is the highest rate of interest paid
by any Vermont bank, and if it is per-
fectly safe to send money by maitland
the records show that not dollar of de-
posts sent by mail to this bank was ever
lost-why shouldn't place my funds for
investment 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.

Friday forenoon. According TO lnforma'
ton furnished by the officers. Niles, who

There are seven and possibly eight
cases of infantie paralysis in Proctor
at the present time, according to the
statement of DIR. c. S. Caverly. president
of the state board of health. The
source of the disease is not definitely
known, but as there are cases in Massa-
chusetts and in Canada it probably
came from people in these sections,
visiting in Vermont. Hens owned by
one of the stricken families in Proctor

Three other cases have recently been
reported to the state board of health.
one in Franklin, one in New Haven and
one in White River Junction. 1t is
obligatory that all cases be reported,
but in the stage before paralysis sets in
the disease is difficult to diagnose.

Don't hide your freckles under veil;

Even the first nights use will show won
