Don't Use Imported Potatoes for Seed

Large quantities of foreign grown po-

great danger, however is in introducing
several new diseases as yet unknown

Why Savings Banks Are
Essential

Because people having money to in
vest are often tempted by designing
persons to go into schemes which, while
promising large returns, usually bring
disaster.
Probably there are no more shrewd,
far-sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study Of investments their
life work; who pass upon all applica-
lions for loans and investments; and 1t
is a fact which anyone can verify by
getting the insurance companies re-
ports that four to five per cent inter-
est is all these companies are able to
make their loans average
Those schemers who would go to un-
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just
as we'll get six per cent as four, well
know that If their schemes were solid.
substantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these life in
surance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust company of Hyde Park never
takes a note paying over six per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, 1t turns it down, because 1t wants
no better evidence that 1t is dangerous
than the TACT tnat IL OHerS 10 pay more
than six per cent.
What Is the result?
In it's more than twenty-three years
of existence, this bank has never lost
a dollar by a poor note.

Motorman Killed Near castleton.

A score of passengers narrowly es-
capped death Monday afternoon, when
the electric express and a main line
passenger car collided on the electric
railroad between Castleton and Castle
ton Corners. The track runs along the
edge of a precipice at this point, but
fortunately the cars kept the tracks;
otherwise there would have been a
heavy loss of life. Earl Clark of Rut-
land, motorman of the passenger car
was crushed. Both legs were broken
and he sustained other injuries. He died
after being taken to the hospital in
Rutland. Mrs. Guy Wilcox of Rutland
and Mrs. Meacham of Benson were cut
and bruised about the head. Both cars
were badly damaged.
The express car was not supposed to
run on the time of the passenger car.
Ernest Hall, who was in charge of the
express, stated that a member of the
crew telephoned to Castleton Corners
to have the passenger car held at that
point Charles Brown, who was in
charge of the substation at Castleton
Corners, said he received no such mes

filled There were beautiful decorations
of lilies, carnations and geraniums c.
NJ. Dugan assisted in the musical SER
vice, rendering a violin solo and having
a part in the other selections. Rev. Mr.
Osgood preached a forceful sermon
from the text, Isaiah 41:6-7 "They
helped everyone his neighbor, and every
one said to his brother: Be of good
courage. So the carpenter encouraged
the goldsmith, and he that smoothed
with the hammer, him that smote the
anvil" The theme was 1.-The helping
hand"
The speaker emphasized the Chris tlike
idea of service and the divine prn-
ciple of brotherhood. 1.-The three essen
tial elements entering into your service
in behalf of humanity" he said, ARE
friendship, love and Enthusiastically
such as David manifested toward jon
traveller received from the good Sam
aritan on the road from Jerusalem to
Jericho; truth. as revealed in Gods word
and from inspired lips.
your record in the past is one to fill
you With a noble pride; what you are
doing in the present Is the simple duty
that lies next the hand; the outlook for
the future is one that may rightly give
you reason to expect that the world
will be the gamer by your loyal SER
vice, for generations to come.
Friendship is a sacred gift Use it
wisely and for the hottest ends.
Love is synonymous with the richest
treasure possessed by humanity at it's
best Let 1t ever be to you the pearl
of great price and its living out an
act of the Masters own seeking so
fraught is it with blessing to the wait
ing soul.
Truth is as the reflection of Gods
own presence in the universe. Sound its
quiet depths. Richly will it repay you.
1t will hallow your own lives and free
from the yoke of bondage many who
now long to be free.
THUS, living out your high calling,
as embodied in the tenets of your in
spring faith you will have. the power
granted you to preach such a gospel
of service, of helpfulness and of cour-
age, to the multitudes about you, that
the world will be better for the work
you have accomplished. being conscious
that to the stranger you have brought
relief; the sick you have visited; to
the poor you have given of your store
and that from those in bondage and
distress you have never wilfully turned
away"
