The designation philanthropist applies
fittingly to that notable Vermonter, Dr.
Daniel Kimbal Pearsons, who died Satur-
day at the age of 90 years in a sanato-
rum in Hinsdale, ILL.,, a suburb of Chi
cago Although he had given more
than IS, 900 to small colleges in diff
ferent parts of the country, he was
comparatively poor at the time of his
death. DR.. Pearsons was born in Brad
ford, graduated from the academy in
Newbury and from the medical college
which was in existence in Woodstock
many years ago. He practiced medicine
IL years in Chicopee, Mass, and while
there married a Miss Chaplin, who was
of great assistance to him in his work
for many years. On leaving Chicopee
DIR. Pearsons engaged in the real esate
business a short time in Jamestown
Wis, and then moved to Chicago, where
he accumulated a large fortune. He
made a speciality of buying and selling
Illinois farm lands, and in one transac-
tion disposed of 100000 acres for the
Illinois Central Railway. He retired
from business in 1890, and shortly be-
fore that time started on his career
as benefactor of colleges. Most of his
gifts were made on condition that ar
equal amount should be provided fol
others. His two largest benefac tion!
were to Beloit college in Wisconsin ant
to Chicago theological seminary 1886, 90,
and $525, 900 respectively. About 40 col
leges and religious societies received
from him sums ranging from $4,000 t.
| $125, 900 In his native state he CAV,
| 800, 900 to Montpelier Methodist semi
nary and $4,000 to the public library ii
Bradford. At the age Of 81 he gave III

Refores station by the State.

The state forester Is making extensive
plans for the springs work of reforest-
alton on the various lands belonging to
the state.
The series of experimental plantations
on the Downer state forest in Sharon
will be continued by the planting of
about 10000 trees of the following vari-
cites: White, Scotch and Austrian pines,
Norway and white spruce. The trees
previously planted on this tract have
done remarkably well and are now of
great value in connection with the an
nual summer school held by the state
forester in cooperation with the college
of agriculture of the University of Ver-
mont.
The abandoned pasture land which
makes up a large part of the l.. r. Jones
state forest in Plainfield, is being plant
ed with forest trees. Ten thousand white
pines will be set this spring. The PLAN
tations already made here are of both
pine and spruce and have proved of much
interest to the people of the community,
who hold an annual picnic in the forest.
Part of the Cancels Hump tract, which
was donated to the state by Col. Joseph
Battell was so seriously burned over in
1903 that there is no tree growth of any
value on It, Several experiments in re-
foresting this land with spruce will be
made On account of the growth OF
brush, and the lack of soil this is one
of the most difficult reforestation pro-
jects in the state
One of the most interesting as well
as the most difficult problems in the
state will be carried on upon the newly
acquired land in Lyndon. This land Is
very largely shifting sand, which is
yearly encroachlng on the good farm
lands of the neighborhood and doing
great damage. Both white and Scotch
pines will be tried on this land. Twenty
five thousand trees will be planted this
year and a nursery of about 5000 will be
established preparatory to more extern
sive planting another year. Arrangements
have been made with Principal Merrill OF
the Lyndon agricultural school to have
the planting work done by students
who, while paid for their work, will thus
learn something of forestry, which will
| In the future be an important branch
| of farming in Vermont
A great deal of planting is to be done
during the season by corporations and
| private owners. The demands upon the
state nursery have been unprecedented
over one hundred orders having beer
received ranging from 1000 to 10000 trees
| This largest order is made by the Rut-
land Railway, Light and Power Co., fol
| the protection of the watershed In Chit
| tenden and Rutland.

ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.

While in almost every part of the
civilized world alarm Is felt at the in
creasing ratio of insanity in the popu-
lation, there are some localities which
seem, on the other hand, to be becom-
ing less infested, so to speak, with the
virus of mental disease. One OF
these appears to be the state of Kan
sas, which had in 1904, 56.2 commitments
to its asylums per hundred thousand
of population. In 1910 the number for
each hundred thousand had fallen to
42.S, and in 1911 to $685. and the members
of the state board of control and the
asylum officials are said to credit this
to the stricter enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws of the state and the con-
sequent diminished consumption of al
cohol. OF course there must be some
leakage over the border, but 1t seems
to be a fact that Kansas IS practically
a dry" state. The journal of the
American Medical Association says that
1t is not surprising that insanity should
decrease with the diminished consump-
ton of an article which is credited by
alienists with the direct causation OF al
least 10. and probably a considerably
higher, per cent of existing insanity,
and which indirectly is a more or less
important factor in very much larger
percentage Of cases. The Kansas figures
come reasonably close to those of the
expert statistician.

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 I'M
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.
II any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, it turns 1t down, because 1t wants
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than six per cent
What is the result2
In its more than twenty-three years
Of existence, this bank has never lost
a dollar by a poor note.
Safety rather than high races Of in
terest" is it's motto; and, knowing this
depositors, not only from Vermont, but
from every state in the Union (except
three) select the Hyde Park bank is 9
place of deposit for their savings.
You can send your funds there b,
mail with absolute safety. and 1t is per-
| fectly safe to send them either in reg
| istered letter, postal money order. banl
| draft, personal check, or express none,
| order.
| During the entire existence of tn,
Hyde Park bank, not a dollar sent to 4
| by mail has ever been lost.
This bank pays four per cent, com

taxes.
