victory for the rats by score of 9

The Banner Savings
Bank Town of
Vermont

On the 4th day of October, 1912,
there were 7o2 depositors in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank no resided in
Hyde Park and the aggregate of their
deposits was more than a quarter of a
million dollars-or, to be exact, S25I,-
o8I. 5o-and the population of Hyde
Park at the last census was only 1853.
If there is another town IN the State
of its size that can make such won
derful showing we would like to know
it, and we will cheeriully give that
town a free notice commencing its
thrift.
Think of it This means that near
y 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 labits, characteristics,
idiosincracies business abilities, conser-
vatism and banking methods, and they
show their implicit faith in these man
ayers by bestowing upon them mea-
sure of confidence and trust which is
very rarely found. We doubt if par
allel can be found anywhere.
These home depositors know that
S0fetU, and not high rates OF inter
est obtained at far away points, is the
uniform and unvaVing 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 well as
your near neighbors. If they have
faith in you it is usually because you
are entitled to their confidence.

Roads in Crater Lake National
Park

That there be constructed around
Crater Lake road which will be one of
the great scenic highways of the world
is one of the recommendations con-
tanned in the annual report of the super
intendent of the park which has just
been made public by the Department of
the Interior. "Upon this road" says
the superintendent, lone will be from
1000 to 5000 feet above sea level, and
upon the highest portion of the Cascade
mountains. 1t would afford an unob-
structed view of the surrounding coun-
try to the north, the east, the south,
and the west as far as the eye can
reach. This road when completed will
be about 35 miles long"
Crater Lake National park is situated
on the summit of the Cascade range in
south-central Oregon. 1t has an area
of 1859, 800 acres and is located in the
midst of beautiful mountain country,
the principal attraction being Crater
lake, body of water having an area of
2O14 square miles which is situated in
the caldera of an extinct volcano. The
lake is surrounded by unbroken cliffs
which range from 500 to nearly 1900
feet in height. The coloring of the
water and of the surrounding cliffs
present some of the most striking
pictures seen in the western mountain
country.
Before the Cascade range existed the
region now included in the State OF
Oregon was great lava plateau that
extended from the Rocky mountains tC
the present Coast range. Gradually
mountain making forces became opera
tive; the surface of the plateau was
arched and there rose the great noun
tain system which is now known as the
| Cascade range. With the hardening OF
the crust the centers of eruptions be-
came fewer until they were confined tC
few high mountains that were built
up by the flows of motion lava. In thi.
way were created Hood, Rainer anC
| NldZdnd, from whose SlueS anu lOl "
SUBMITS streams of lava poured across
a desolate land. Hood and Rainier still
lift their snowy caps to the clouds an(
fling a defiant challenge to the noun
taineer to scale their steep, ice-covereC
slopes. Mazama alone is gone, en-
quilted in the earth from which it came
In what is left of it's caldera lies Crate

valuable estate, but it was conditioned
that she must be married by certain
fixed date in December, otherwise she
would lose the property. All applicants
were to write to her at Elgin
Now, the lady in the case has disap-
peared, either having changed her mind,
or else having found a sutton nearer at
hand; but there is serious trouble in the
Elgin postofiice. The postmaster is
practically buried under a mountain Of
mail, which has come in reply to this
lady invitation. There are over 1000
letters, and almost as many photographs,
and they are still pouring in at the rate
of hundreds daily. Doubtless the too
complaisant mayor now regrets having
given the matter publicity. 1t would be
hard to describe the feelings of the poor
Illinois postmaster, who is the real
sufferer in the absurd affair.

the streams afford fine sport with hook

there are many varities of game which
are indigenous to this section of the
country, such as bear, elk, moose, deer,

Uncle Sam has spent tidy sum this
autumn on the Capitol grounds the
beautiful parks which surrounds our
legislative headquarters and which
Congress has lately voted to enlarge
through the purchase of much of the
adjoining property. The severe winter
of a year ago left its scars on the
Capitol grounds as it did elsewhere in
the country, and the most unwelcome
outcome was the loss of a number of
the stately trees that have won the
admiration of visitors to Washington in
years gone by. Such loss Is in a great
measure irreparable, but the govern
ment has FASTENED to plant number
of young trees, and that these new
corners may, in after years, posses
added interest for the nation, the Gus
tom has been followed of having them
planted by prominent men. Speaker
Champ Clark planted one, as did the
late Vice President Sherman, and a
number of the leading Senators followed
the example. Meanwhile the officials
at the Capitol have bestirred them
selves to safeguard such of the forest
monarchs as have been spared. The
trees have been repeatedly sprayed to
discourage insect pests, and the most
expert "tree doctors" in the country
have been engaged to practice the new
science. Christian Herald.

What New England soil can do, under
favorable conditions and with close
attention to business, in producing po-
tatoes, is indicated by the prizes for
1912 that leading fertilizer company
has recently awarded OF seven prizes,
six went to Maine and one to Vermont.
The winner of the first prize raised five
hundred and forty-fve bushels of Green
Mountain potatoes on an acre of land.
The crops that took the other prizes
ranged from that total down to -four
hundred bushels. The farmer who
raises two hundred bushels to the acre
is accustomed to think that he is doing
well. So he is, if potato-growing is tc
be judged by the past, but it is evident
that he can do much better. - Youth S

Vermont bids fair to have another
agricultural school as a gift. A 300
acre farm in Middletown Springs is
ready for such school provided the
gift is acceptable to the state. The
only restriction to this gift is that the
school shall be named after the giver,
the copeland Agricultural School, "
and it does not seem as if this string
should prove an uncomfortable encum-
brance. 1t is quite natural thing to
do anyway, and the more farmers who
are trained in agricultural schools in
Vermont the better The Lyndon
school is crowded all the time and the
Copeland school, if the state accepts the
gift, will find plenty of anxious stu
dents. The people in the neighborhooc
of the proposed school are earnest il
their support of the project, and they
can be counted on to furnish plenty OF
students. Bradford Opinion.
