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 Omnipo.
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
aggregating $S44,15S.34. Four years
later, to wit, on the first day Of July,
1911, those deposits had increased to
$2,01S, 306.77; 139 per cent. or 81, 174,1 4S,-
AZ gain in four years.
The first utterance given to "a state
ment of this kind is 1t cannot be true.
The second is, 1.-THE growth is phenom
email"
And then we say, 1T 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
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
exact about it, $685. per working day.
What is the explanation:
Simply that the people of Vermont
have watched the growth of the Lamoile
County Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany with unusual interest because of its
management and its methods of invest
ments.
They have not failed to observe that in
Its entire existence of more than twenty
two years, the funds of the bank have
been invested with such excellent iudg-
ment and with such painstaking care
that the bank has record, probably
unparalleled, of never having lost dol
lar by poor note.
The man or boy having money to de-
post has simply said to himself, 1.-THE
very safest, the very strongest, and the
most conservative Savings Bank man
agement 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 perfectly safe to send money by
maitland the records show that not
dollar of deposits sent by mail to this
bank was ever lost-why shouldn't l
place my funds for investment and safe
keeping in the Hy de Park Bank"
The question is a natural one and the
answer follows as natuia ally as the night
follows the day.
Really, there is nothing mysterious
about this abnormal and phenomenal
growth.

Thorp's Body Found.

The body of Henry A. Thorp of Shell
burne, the university student who dis,
appeared January Goth last, while skat-
ing alone on Lake Champaign, was
washed ashore Saturday night on North
beach, Lake Champlain. 1t was discov-
cred by James Francis of Convent
Square, an employee of Cranes mills,
who was taking an early morning stroll
along the shore about six o'clock Sun
day, as was his custom owing to ill
health. The body was found short
distance from the shore. 1t was dragged
in by Alr. Francis. who then notified the
police. The body was removed to the
undertaking rooms of j. a, Corbin.
Identification was made by a Delta
Psi fraternity pin, fastened to sweater
and containing the students name and
year in college, 1912, and by pocket
knife, Christmas present from men,
Der of the family. The clothes known to
have been worn by Thorp on the day he
disappeared were also on the body, and
skates were fastened to the shoes. The
body was badly decomposed, but intact,
disproving the theory that human
hand and arm, found by Edward ChiOtt,
a boetman, some time ago, was that Of
Mr. Thorp. The mystery of Mr.. Chiott's
find is therefore still unsoved
Mr., and Mrs. Emerson Thorp of Shell
burne, parents of the young man, Were
notified. Burial of the body was in
Charlotte cemetery Monday afternoon
with service at the grave. The drowned
man was born in Shelburne 20 years ago,
where he had always resided.
In college he was pursuing course in
civil engineering and spent the year
previous in work along that line in Ken
lucky He prepared for college at Burr
and Burton Seminary in Manchester and
attended college part of one year at
Ohio State University.
