Plumley, and on the District which
he represents.
He is and has been a Republican

experience, the high order of in

judgment which he is known to
possess, and the same conscientious
purpose to discharge faithfully
every duty, which has been his
rule of life.
His record is the best reason for

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 applications
or loans and Investments; and it is a
fact which any one can verify by getting
the insurance companies reports, that
four or five per cent interest 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 II their schemes were solid
substantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these lite in
surance companies
The Lamoile County Savings Bank
and Trust Company of Hyde Park nevel
takes a note paying over six per cent.
If any person brings paper to tina
bank which will pay more than six PEI
cent, it turns it down, because it wants
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to pay NOR,
f than six per cent,
What is the result?
In its more than twenty three years o
existence, this bank has never lost dol
lar by a poor note.
"Safety rather than high rates of ii
terest is its motto; and, knowing this
depositors, not only from Vermont, bl
from every State in the Union (exceE

place of deposit for their savings.
You can send your funds there by mai
with absolute safety, and it is perfect,
safe to send them either in registered let
ter, postal money order, bank draft, per
sona check, or express money order
During the entire existence of the
Hyde Park Bank, not a dollar sent to il
by mail has ever been lost

CONGRESSMAN Plumley

In announcing himself as can
didate for Congress to succeed Mr..
Plumley, Frank D. Thompson,
Esq, of Barton bases his opposition
upon his statement that the record
made by Mr.. Plumley in Congress
is not satisfactory in that he has
taken no aggressive position on leg
islation, is not progressive, is a
stand-patter and a reactionary!
None of his charges are correct.
In Congress or elsewhere he has
never been standpatter or reac-
tionary. He is, and always has
been Independent, and at all times
has voted and acted upon his own
judgement, for what he believed to
be best for the, greatest number, re-
CARELESS of who favored or opposed
the measure. Mr.. Plumley's record
in Congress is the best, and COM
plete refutation of Mr.. Thompson
charges, and it is due him that
attention be called to a few of the
many aggressive and progressive
measures he has favored, and tc
his position generally in Congress
When he was elected to Congress
much fault was found with the rule:
of the House, in which sentimen
he shared. This condition has beer
completely changed. The rule
are now liberal to the limit. Mr.
Plumley voted for every liberal rul
which was made in the 61st Con
gress.
He is not in favor of repealin
the oleomargarine law, but on tn
contrary at all times before the com
mite and elsewhere, has stoo
firmly for the purpose of trying
make the law stronger and NOR
vital and helpful to the butter pre-
d,icers of the country. He ha
takenthe position, that in the intel
est of the butter maker, and of til
consumer, all fraud in the sale {
oleomargarine must be eliminate
to the last degree 20 far as it can
done by Congressional action.
On all matters of tariff legislatio
he has applied the rule, that if til
proposed measure retained the PR
tective principle and did no moi
than to make good the differene
between the cost Of production f:
home and abroad, he voted for i
not, he voted against it.
He has stood at all times for prt

There is one aggregation of base
ball tossers who, although their
mark of honor for the past season is
not extraordinary, since their record
is ten won and eight lost, still they
are as content with their showing for
the year as any other crew in the
county that has been engaged in the
national pastime. The Sewaren A.
10. Is the team. We say that they
are content and we believe that they
have q right to be. While they have
been defeated and even walloped at
times by teams in these districts,
still they are entitled to the prestige
we wish to give them for they have
been victorious against their most
immediate rivals, having gobbled
two games with the Sewaren A. A,
and one with the Playful Musical
Nine, One battle with the former
and the one with the latter were
played for side bets of s25 each. 1t
was not the money either team really
wanted, It was the honor and recog-
milton Of being superior In baseball
warfare. And in every game be-
tween the sewaren A. G. and the A.
A. nine victory came to the A. C.'s.

When basketball as sport

unless their salaries are raised even
above the amount that they as an

across the river realized this and
have been giving good support to
their favorites.

money realized by the Neptunes at

For this reason, since the Neptune

such style SO as to allow them to ex-

support good. And especially SO
when every one Of the home players
is getting 4 guarantee Of not less

Each and every one of the men,
bers of this aggregation have striven
in every battle of the year to carry
home that much coveted prize, vic
tory. To every individual warrior
should be given his share Of honor
for the spoils obtained by the club
in the little burg up the line.
Peter Larson, who handled the in
terests of the Sewaren nine, should
be given much credit for the showing
of the team and for their victories
against their close rivals. When the
games with the Playful Nine and the
Sewaren A. A. were arranged, Man
ager Pete fortified his teams chances
with such plans that more than his
share in the victory was done. He
was also a regular warrior, having
occupied the left pasture throughout
the year. His work as player was
satisfactory at every stage of the
year.
The trio of Dametsch brothers,
who were Maurer A. G. stars, have
proven great factors in the slugging
department of the A. C. nine. Every
one in the cities around these parts
who is connected with baseball
knows that the Dametsch boys are
men to be feared when hits mean
runs.

In large factory, the owners of the
firms usually are rich and can afford
in many cases to grant the increase

ketball club was merely breaking
even, sometimes collecting less
than their expenses and at other
times getting a little more. And as
the club itself has no money OF any
account. as the players no doubt
knew. then why did these tossers ask
for more money!
Surely Abe Forgotson, manager of
