The Monitor

Early in 1862, fifty years ago, the
launching of the ironclad vessel, the
Monitor, marked an epoch in naval war.
fare and revolutionized the building of
sea-going fighting craft. The appearance
of John Ericsson's queer looking ship
noted the transition from wooden war
vessels and the beginning of the develop
ment of steel clad men of of which
the modern dreadnought is the highest
type.
The Monitor was put in the water jhst
in time to engage the Merrimac in Hamp-
ton Roaps after that Confederate iron
clad ram had wrought terrible havoc
an ong the Federal war vessels. The
first Monitor was but a small affair as
compared with such fighting craft, as,
for instance, the Delaware or the Con-
necticut CT the present modern navy.
She was but 172 feet long and carried but
two eleven inch smooth bore guns in a
revolving turret While the Monitor was
not sea-going vessel and while she had
serious defects as a gun platform and as
a fighting ship, she arrived at crucial
moment in the Civil War and she pos
sessed many points that have been used
in all the modern armor clads which are
based on the principle which she exem-
plified. The revolving turret idea first
applied in warship construction on the
Monitor is now in general use in the
great dreadnoughts of the worlds navies'
and since the arrival of the . cheesebox
on raft" halfcentury ago, the nations
of the world have showed feverish rival
ry in making guns powerful enough to
destroy existing vessels and to build
ships strong enough to resist them.

coon WORDS FOR "RUssELL,'

lished sketch of Russell S. Page of this
place. AS it will interest our readers we
copy it herewith, running the risk of i'd
curing the displeasure of "Russ" by SO
DOING
A young bust less man of Vermont who
has made good is Russell Smith Page,
only son of Senator Carroll S. Page.
Born April 10, 1877, he was educated at
the LamoilIe Central Academy, Philips
Andover, st. Johnsbury Academy and the
University of Vermont, graduating from
the latter institution in 1899 with the de
gree of A B.
On thu completion of his studies he re-
turned to Hyde Park and mastered the
details of his fathers great business
which he now manages.
He is also director of the Lamoille
County National Bank and the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany, both of Eyde Park, and director
who directs.
One of his first business undertakings,
and the one to which he is the most at.
cached, was the management of large
farm on the outskirts of his native viii
lage. This he has made to pay handsome
returns. During the past year he has
found time to supervise the erection on
tKis farm of model barn where may be
found some of the best blooded stock in
Vermont. He takes special pride in his
thoroughbred Guernseys. which have
captured many prizes at the county fairs.
He knows good horse almost at sight
and few men can give him pointers on
sheep or swine.
During his academy and college life he
was prominent in athletics, and now he
never misses the annual Harvard Yale
contests.
Although Mr.. Page has been a men,

Committees and keeps fully informed
upon an matters of public interest, vet
he has never shown any ambition for DO
litical preferment. Every Office he ever
held came to him absolutely unsought.
and was assumed, not from choice, but
from high sense of duty.
He was elected town representative in
1910 almost unanimously. Asa member
of the House he ranked as one of the
leaders, being chairman of the Commit
tee on Temperance and a member of the
Committees on Banking and Manufac.

breaking of the ground until the
building is completed is about ten
days. There is no complicated mechan-
ism. Plates of steel, pressed into
Hanged sections "a inches sqra are, are
clipped and wedged together, forming
trough which holds the liquid &C.
ment until it hardens. A second
trough is then set upon top OF the
first and the process repeated, the
lower plates being moved higher up,
as the walls harden. These plates
also serve as forms for floors and
roofs. There are no bolts to rust and
no cast parts to break, everything be-
ing held together by steel wedges,
locked by blow of the hammer and
easily taken down. The entire house
is of cement except the sash and
doors, and the rooms can be flushed
out with a hose. Waste heat from
kitchen range warns the whole
house Better than all and by far
most important is the fact that one OF

What Makes a Savings Bank
Safe?

The man or woman who thinks OF max
ing a deposit of his or her little savings,
oftentimes his or her all, naturally does
some hard thinking with reference to the
matter of safety. There are great many
financial institutions which parade at
the head of their announcements a long
list of distinguished names. names which
are an ornament, and names of men
whose association with any Savings
Bank ought to make bank worthy OF
confidence.
Depositors should not be deceived by
these names. The names of General So
andSo and Hon. So-and-So and Col. So
and-So do not add to the safety OF the
bank, if they belong to that class of di-
rectors who do not direct.
In this connection the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank has a word to say. 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that the
managers of this bank have given to its
investments such careful consideration
and scrutiny that in it's more than TWEEN
tv.three years of existence it has never
lost a dollar by poor note-a record
perhaps unparalleled in the history OF
banks. Not only do its managers scru.
tinize with painstaking care every detail
connected with its investments, but the
results show that those Investments are
made conservatively and with a deter
mination that safety rather than high
rates ofinterest shall be the guiding prin-
ciple of the Bank.
Parties thinking of making deposits are
invited to address the President, Carroll
S Page, or the Treasurer, Frank M. Gull
yer, asking for a statement of its assets
and liabilities
Deposits made either by registered mail,
check, postal money order, or express
money order, are absolutely safe, as in
the twenty-three years experience not
dollar has ever been lost by a depositor
sending money to this bank by mail.

- Benny on the Carp,

The German carp is a creature
shaped so as to resemble a fish. II
can swim in any kind of water, and
has one eye on each side of it's head.
Its food consists of small black bass
and three cornered pieces of boiled
potato. You catch carp by throwing
stone in the water to attract its
attention and then letting down a hook
baited with a nice piece of garbage.
There are people in st. Joe who will
pay ten or fifteen cents for big, fat
carp, but as for me l would rather
have Welsh rabbit or a pound OF
angel cake.-"Benny," in the Chicago
