yesterday. when he delivered $751; 800 flies
to the health department and landed
at the top of the list with hundreds Of
thousands to spare. The score of the
two leaders, including yesterday: Bur-
dette. 3.635.6OO; Fitzgerald. 3.1S2,OOO.
Lawrence Fitzgerald, who has been
in first place for more than two weeks,
turned in 1920 yesterday. which,
though good score. was far from
enough to keep him in the lead. 1t was
expected that Burdette would strike a
terrific blow either yesterday or today.

Fitzgerald Plucky.
yesterday when Burdette's delivery was
made and was greatly disappointed at
losing out at the last minute, but showed
himself a true sport and passed up the
defeat with the statement that he would
work harder than ever in August in his
effort to break the winning streak of
Burdette.
Flies received by DR.. Murray before
noon today will be counted late this aft
ernoon and credited to July scores.
With the exception of one day, early in
July, when the various contestants de-
livered close to 1.OOO.otD pests, the $780,
POO germ carriers turned in yesterday

more remarkable than any. as flies sn

them combined with the cool weather.

"Mr. President, l want to go one step
further. I want to say here what I have
said on more than one other occasion,
that when you perfect your civil service
and through it establish life tenure for
all employees of the government a civil
pension follows naturally as the night
follows the day. When these people have
served at e:scellen, salaries for forty or
fifty years they will come in and they
Will say. as they have been saying with
tremendous effect n some quarters, that
they have given their lives to the service
of the government, and The government
ought 10 take care of them in their oil
age. / cannot comprehend the justice or
the logic which compels the taxpayer to
save something out of his meager income
or suffer the consequences of his folly or
misfor une in his cd age. and yet applies
a different rule to those who receive
part Of his taxes in the shape of salaries.
when l came to Congress. twenty-five
years ago, we had only d retirement for
the army, navy and the judiciary. and
nobody then. except few of us. expect
ed the policy to be extended, but 1t has
been already extended, and recommen-
dations have come to us from more than
one President that it be made to include
practically all department employees.

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 un-
SOPHISTICATED women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just
as well 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 Eamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company of Hyde Park never
takes note paying ever six per cent
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, it turns 1T down, because it wants
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 its 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,
depositors, 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 il
by mail has ever been lost
This bank pays four per cent, com.
pounded semi-annualy, and pays all
taxes.
If you want to know all about its as
sets, liabilities, management, etc, ad
dress letter to Carroll S. Page, Presi
dent, or F. NJ. Culver, Treasurer, Hyde
Park, Vermont, asking therefor, and
you will receive prompt reply.

Addition to Faculty of MiddIebur,
College,

Assistant Professor George Porter
Paine of the University of Minnesota
has accepted the position of assistant
professor of mathematics in Middle
bury college. Mr.. Paine was gradu-
ated from Harvard in 1906 and received
the degree of A. M. in 1907. For two
years he was professor of mathematics
in Ripon college, Wisconsin, and since
1909 has been assistant professor in the
University of Minnesota. His work
will be supplementary to that of Pro-
fessor Crosse, who retains his position
in Middlebury. 1t is only few years
since one professor did all the work in
both physics and mathematics, and the
growth of the college is shown in the
fact that two instructors are now neces-
sary in mathematics alone. Mr.. Paine
is married and has one child. He was
recommended by the mathematical de-
partment of Harvard as one of the best
of the younger teachers of mathema-
tics in college work. He has been very
successful both at Ripon and the Uni
versity of Minnesota. He will come to
Middlebury the latter part of June and
will begin his work in September.

Fraud Paint.

The worst mistake one is likely to
make in painting is wrong paint; it is
easy to make this year when paint is so
high.
We all say "Ours is the best; and
there are 1000 of us. One is BEST but a
dozen are so near on level that no one
knows, for sure, that his is the one.
The worst paints are worst liars; they
know what they are, put'on bold face,
and brazen it out
Their one true argument is low price;
but low. price paint is always, must be,
fraud; it is made to cheat cheatable
people.
