The Tigers came to life In great
shape in that morning game yester-
day. The sun was stifling and made
playing peppery ball anything but an
easy task. But the Tigers saw a
chance to knock out q leg from that
seat in the first division that the
White Sox are occupying and they did
so with a vengeance.
Sam Crawford was the. most valiant
Tiger with the fail. Batting in third
position he got four hits in six times
up. Every man on the team got al
east one hit. There were Is of them
in all.
Strange to say Dubuc's wildness and
his inability TO keep the Sox from
pounding him gave them a lead that
locked as IL il were going to be the
Tigers undoing. Then John steadied
and Benz, 80. weakened. His wildness
and inability to keep the ferocious
Tigers of put the Sox far TO the bad.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-By a feat of

can now be pronounced successful.
The little patient was born with de-

Young, aged 49, resident of Shafts

Young and Miss Martha Hulett, a

Huett were returning from a dance

Arlington. They reached the crossing
about 230 O'Clock and just as they
came in sight of the crossing their
horse became frightened by the south
bound sleeper, running two hours late.
The animal bolted and dashed directly
into the train. Both the occupants of
the vehicle were thrown out. The horse
went under the train and was. killed and
the wagon was smashed into small
pieces. Miss Hulett escaped with a
few cuts and bruises.

Recent published statistics show
what vast amount of steel is demand
ed by the railroad systems of the coun-
try for track and rolling stock. Thus,
a single system, the New York Central,
has sent out inquiries for between ten
thousand and fifteen thousand steel

the Hartman lines for 5000, and the
total inquiry is for about 10000 cars.
There is corresponding demand for
steel rails, the Pennsylvania Railroad
alone calling for nearly 200,0 tons for
delivery in 1913; and it is believed that
the demand in the United States,
coupled with expected large orders from
abroad, will bring the orders for rails

Fall Spraying for Scale.

Before cold winter weather sets in
there should be some spraying done
wherever the San Jose scale is present.
If present in such numbers as to cover
or encrust parts of the tree their in
furious work is generally manifested by
some dead branches or the premature
falling of the leaves.
1t is not safe to wait till spring and
think that no further damage will be
suffered BY the trees. While the scale
does not propagate during cold weather,
it continues to draw nourshment from
the sap and when plentiful enough to
cover the bark, the drain on the vitality
of the tree is severe and it energies in
the spring much weaker than it was in
the fall. In some cases it is weakened
beyond recovery and dies.
This, then, is a good and sufficient
reason why spraying should not be
postponed till spring, but there are
further reasons of weight. One of
these is that the shell of the scale is
softer in the fall, for it grows harder
through the winter, and consequently
is more susceptible to the action of the
various sprays. Fall spraying is more
thorough and effective than in the

The Banner Savings
Bank Town of
Vermont

On the 4th day of October, 1912,
there were 7o2 depositols in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank Who resided in
Hyde Park and the aggregate Of their
deposits was more than quarter of a
million dollars-or, to be exact, S25I,-
OIL e-and the population Of Hyde
Park at the last census was only 1883.
If there is another town IN the State
of its size that can make such a won
derful showing we would like to know
it, and we will cheeriully give that
town free notice commencing its
thrift.
Think Of it This means that near
ly every other, or second, man, woman
and child, infant, youth, middle-age
and aged person in Hyde Park, 7o2
out OF 1853, has an average deposit in
the Hyde Park Savings Bank OF $751;
&c.
There is only one conclusion to be
drawn from this fact and that is
that the people of Hyde Park, who
know all about the men who manage
the Hyde Park Savings Bank, have un-
limited faith and confidence in them.
They know, from close contact with
them and as their nearest neighbors,
all about their Aabits, characteristics,
idiosincracies business abilities, conser-
vatsm and banking methods, and they
show their implicit faith in these man
ayers by bestowing upon them a mea-
sure Of confidence and trust which Is
very rarely found. We doubt if a par
allel can be found anywhere.
These home depositors know that
S0fetY, and not high rates OF inter-
est obtained at far away points, is the
uniform and unvarying motto OF their
home bank and believing its managers
to be absolutely trustworthy and safe
they make this bank the custodian of
their spare dollars. OF course the
fact that the bank pays four per cent.
and pays all taxes is very tempting, but
no more so than to depositors in
other towns.
Nobody knows you quite so we'll as
your near neighbors. If they have
faith in you it is usually because you
are entitled to their confidence.
