GERMAN SOCIALISTS HAVE
PLAN TO PROMOTE PEACE

Herr Bebel, the leader of the radical
wing of the German Socialists, is re-
ported to have said when the Socialist
landslide in the German Reichstag was
announced:
The peace of Europe is now assured.
In a recent sermon at the Church OF
the Messiah, New York. John Haynes
Holmes interpreted the social significance
OF the European working-class wal
against war. He said:
81 believe that war between the ma
tons of the world is every day becom-
ing more ard more improbable-for one
reason IL for no other.
II refer to the great awakening upon
this question which has come to the
working CLASSES of the world. 1t means
something. does IT not. when in the wal
between Russia and Japan. Russian pea
SAINTS had to be driven to the recruiting
stations at the point OF the bayonet
1t means something. does II not, when
the attempt of the King of Spain to
send his armies into Africa was met by
the revolt of his subjects in Barcelona!
And what shall We say OF the great
spectacle which was witnessed in Ber-
lin, at the time when war was immi-
nent with France, when two hundred
thousand Socialists gathered peaceably
In the public squares, denounced the
beliigerent attitude OF the government
and solemnly swore that they would
never take up arms against their broth
ers In the republic of France?
such events as these mean simply
that the common people are realizing
that there is no reason why they should
be made fools for powder. in order to
satisfy the jealousies Of Kings and ad-
vance the commercial interests of trusts
and corporations. They mean that the
multitudes see at last that they have
no quarrel with their fellow-laborers
across the border lines of nations. The
time Is coming. If it is not already here.

HICCOUGHS.

Hiccougf1s are caused directly

This contraction is caused by irri-

Roberts in Kimballs Dairy Farmer.
In most cases there is discharge of
saliva from the mouth. The animal
coughs frequently, and when it drinks
the water is forced back into the mouth
and dribbles out with the saliva.
The COW usually stops feeding. She
has an anxious expression and breathes
with difficulty owing to the fact that
she begins to bloat. caused by the re-
tenton of gas in the stomach.
These symptoms, however are not
always present. for If the obstacle
does not completely close the throat or
gullet gas or water may pass. prevent
ing any immediate discomfort If the
obstruction is in the neck portion of
the gullet it may be felt as lump on
the left side of the neck. If the OBJ
ject is IN the throat it is advisable to
give small portion of oil, wait few
moments and then squeeze the obstacle
upward into the mouth. or the attend
ant may oil his hand and pass it down
the throat far enough to grasp the for

The presence of an obstacle or an
obstruction in the cervical portion of
the gullet may be worked forward in
the same manner. always giving a
small dose of oil regardless as to what
the obstacle may be composed Of. If

ulating the throat where the stoppage
of such material has accumulated 1t
will have tendency to break 1t up
and cause the animal to either swallow
it or the attendant to work it upward
In cases where the obstacle is lodged
in the chest between the lobes of the
lungs, where manipulation Of the gull
let would be impossible, it is advisable
to place a gag in the animals mouth
and insert a probang or a half inch
rubber hose and by passing this into
the gullet and pressing gently. as there
is great danger of rupturing the gullet
in this condition. the obstacle may be
dislodged or forced into the stomach,
and as soon as 1t is the accumulated
gas very rapidly escapes through the
hose or probang and gives instant re-
lief to the average distressed animal.
After this relief has been given the
animal the probang or hose should be
removed gently and the animal given
soft mash or cruel drinks and should
not be given any bulky food for at
least twenty-four hours, for the reason
that If the gullet be lacerated and the
animal has free access to bulky food
there is danger Of dislodgment OF same

whereas If the animal be given a few
days time for this liberation or extern

Why Savings Banks Are Essential

Because people having money to invest
are often tempted by designing persons
to go into schemes which, while prOmis-
ing 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 applications
for loans and investments; and it Is "A
fact which anyone can verify by getting
the insurance companies reports, that
four to five per cent interest Is all these
companies are able to make their loans
average.
Those schemers who would 90 to UNI
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just
as well iget 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
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to 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 poor note.
Safety rather than high rates of in
terest." is its motto; and, knowing this,
depostors, not only from Vermont, but
from every State in the Union Except
three select the Hyde Park Bank as a
place of deposit for their savings.
You can send your funds there by mail
with absolute safety, and it is perfectly
safe to send them either in registered
letter, postal money order, bank draft,
personal check or express money order
During the entire existence of the
Hyde Park Bank not dollar sent to it
by mail has ever been lost.
This bank pays four per cent, COM
pounded semi-annually, and pays all
taxes.

sets, liabilities, management, etc., adj
