Why Savings Banks Are
Essential.

Because people having money,to'
invest are ottenM tempted by design
ing persons toy so into schemes
which, while promising large re-
turns, usually bring disaster,,
Probably there are no more
shrewd, iar 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 invest
monts; and it is fact which anyone.
can verify by getting the, insurance
companies reports, that four to five
per cent interest is all these compal
nies are. able to make their loans
average. 'F'k
These schemers who would 60 to
unsophisticated women or inexperi-
enced men and tell them that they
could just as well get six per cent.
as four, well know that IL their
schemes were solid, substantial and
safe, they could borrow money by
the million from these life insurance
com panies. s'a4f a,g
The Lamoile 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 cent, it turns it 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 resultf
In its more than twenty-three years
of existence, this bank has never lost
dollar by poor note.
" Safety rather than high rates of
interest ".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 place of
deposit for their savings.
You can send your funds there by
mail with absolute safety, and it is
perfectly sale to send them eitherzin
registered letter, postal money.order, (!
bank draft, personal check, or ex-
press money order.
During the entire existence Of the
Hyde Park Bank, notaF dollar sent
to it by mail has ever been lost ~
This bank pays four per cent,
compounded semi-annually, and
pays all taxes.
IL If you want to know all about its
assets, Liabilities. management, etc.,
address a letter to Carroll S. Page,
President, or F. M. Culver, Treas
.urer, Hyde Park, Vermont, asking
therefor, and you will receive prompt
reply.

MUST MAKE new START
Question of Maintaining Insane
Soldiers Not Decided.

1t appears from a decision of the
supreme court that new start will
have to be made to get the supreme
court to decide whether OF, not the es.
tate of deceased soldier in part de-
rived from pension money can be used
to pay cost of support of an insane
person at a state hospital. Suits
were brought involving this and sew
eral similar questions. The court
found in one case that Guthrie coun-
ty, the home of the insane soldier,
ought to have brought the suit. In
two other cases the insane soldiers
were non-residents of the state. In
one part of the suit where there
seemed to be some ground for a judg-
ment in favor of Marshall county it
was held that as matter of fact
Marshall county had not incurred any
actual expense and therefore could
not recover.
The whole matter, according to
state officials, grows out of a long
standing disagreement as to having
demented old soldiers sent from the
soldiers home, under commitment as
insane to the state hospitals. The
last legislature undertook in vain to
straighten the matter out.

END IN SIGHT In
=. LORIMER TRIAL
Continued from page one).

mass of notes jotted down during the
past few days, as he sat in his seat
listening to the attacks of his oppon-
'ents.
Just as Senator Lorimer's defense
! in the previous senatorial trial of his
fright to seat in the senate was
marked by crowded galleries long be-
fore the session opened today all the
choice seats were filled and for the
first time in number of weeks near
ly all the senators were on hand.
The anti-Lorimerites are confident
today that no oratorical plea by the
Illinois statesman can move the ma
jority which they claim is aligned
against him. They claim that Senator
Lorimer will be ignored by major
Iity of at least ten votes.
Difficulty In Shaving Of Vote.
Washington, July 1870 slender Is
the thread which binds William Lori
mer to his seat in the United States
senate that he and his defenders had
difhculty in staving off the vote long
enough to give him an opportunity to
speak In his own defense
Mr.. Lorimer had to make a personal
appeal before the delay was granted
Immediately following the conclusion
of Senator Dillingham's speech in
Lorimer's behalf, when no one knew
who was to speak next on the mat
ter and the lack Of interest was so
marked that the presiding officer had
to remind the senate of the nature Of
the business before 1t. Senator Borah
" Idaho arose and demanded the yeas
and nays on the resolution declaring
Lorimer's seat vacant.
The presiding officer was about to
order the roll call, when Mr.. Lorimer
leaped to his feet and demanded rec
ognition.
MY understanding has been that all
the members of the investigating COM
mittee intended to discuss this ques-
tion," said Lorimer. 81 have felt that
| should not submit my remarks until
the members of the committee have
finished
81 would prefer very much that they
should go on. Because have had the
understanding that they intended to
speak, have not brought with me
the notes on what I am to say.
"I think 1t common fairness to al
low me time to get these notes before
the vote is taken"
Mr.. Borah did not press his motion
An effort will be made to hurry the
case through so that vote can be
reached by tonight.
