Street oiIing.

The Springfield Reporter says:
"The street-oiling is proving one Of
the greatest possible Of local bless
ings. The money has been we'll ex-
pended, and, with the State aid
promised, the appropriation for the
purpose undoubtedly will accomplish
considerably more than the most
sanguine advocates Of the improve
ment had anticipated. May there
always be future provision for all
the road oil that the Village needs "
The dust affection in Woodstock
is doubtless just as severe as in
Springfield, though Springfield
claims, but not pridefully, to have
been q banner town in that respect
before her streets were becalmed
with oil The business section of
Woodstock was oiled some weeks
go, and it is an unreasonable and
daring person who will say that the
innovation has not been completely
successful from the viewpoint Of
comfort, cleanliness and health.
Oiling is more expensive than the
time honored though nearly useless
method of watering the streets, but
there are few villages better able to
have what is best, the safest and
the cleanest for it's health, comfort
and pleasure, and there are few
places of it's size that have more
automobile traffic, which makes dusty
roads intolerable.

ADVICE TO BOYS AND GIRLS

Save your pennies and send them
to the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Whyf
Because it wishes to encourage
the children to be frugal and to have
little bank account of their own,
even though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible sum.
Childrsn who commence an
sccount on penny, nickel or a
dime, often grow into capitalists
later on.
The way to become a.capitalist is
to commence. now to save the
pennies.

a SAFE SAVINGS BANK.

During its more than twcnty-three
years of existence, the Hyde Park
Savings Bank never lost dollar by
poor note, poor stock or poor
bond.
This can only mean that its
managers possess great conservatism,
excellent judgment and painstaking
care.
1t means a close adherence to the
motto of the bank from its start,
namely: Safety first, last and
always" " high rates of interest
never"
Deposits in this bank receive 4
per cent. interest, compounded semi
annually, with all the taxes paid by
the Bank.
