Why Savings Banks Are
Essential.

Because people having money to
invest are often tempted by designing
persons to go in0o 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 applica
tions for loans and Investments; and
it is 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 echemers who would go to
unsophisticated women or inexperi-
enced men and tell them that they
could just as vel 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 insurance companies.
! The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company Of Hyde Park
never takes a note paying over six
! per cent.
| Ia oAy POAcOu UIAuSo paper 10 Uudb
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 result?
In its more than twenty three years
OF existence, this bank has never lost
q dollar by poor note.
"Safety rather than high rates of
interest" Is it's motto; and, knowing
this, depositors, not only from YER
mont, 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 safe to send them either in
registered letter, postal money order,
bank draft, personal check, Or ex-
press money order.
During the entire existence of the
Hyde Park Bank, not dollar sent to
it by mail has ever been lost.
This bank pays four per cent, com
pounded semi annually, and pays all
taxes.

The Color of Butter.
Mr.. Editor

Mr.. Editor:
/ noticed several weeks ago an ar
ticle in your paper protesting against
the ten cent tax on oleomargarine, but
it occurs tonne that the butter makers
seem to have reserved for themselves
a monopoly of color.
Mege-M ouries, the French chemist
who discovered or invented oleomar-
garine, specified in his patent in 1869
yellow color in his product This is
the first recorded use of a uniform
commercial color in an edible fat for
the table. In the course of time
creameries and dairies adopted this
discovery. to obtain a uniform yellow
color in their butter.
In the law of 1902 Congress en-
deavo ed to appropriate this uniform
yellow color which originated in the
oleomargarine industry, and grant it
as monopoly to the dairy industry.
This was done indirectly by levying a
tax of ten cents per pound on cleo.
margarine colored in any shade of vel.
low, while the butter manufacturer is
permitted to use commercial color
without paying any tax.
This monopoly of color is the only
attempt Congress has ever made TO
create commercial monopoly by law.
It was done by confscating and ap-
propriating valuable discovery of
one industry and comforting it by law
upon another competing industry.
It is therefore a mistake to assume
that the butter industry has any nat
ural claim to the yellow color. Nat.
ural uncolored butter varies all the
way from deep golden yellow in the
spring to pale cream color in the
fall and winter. The uniform yellow
color to which we have become accus-
toned is wholly artificial and was
adopted by the dairy and creamery in.
terests because it makes their prod.
uct more inviting to the eye and east
er to sell.
The high price of butter, which
places 1t as a daily food beyond the
reach of the man who earns ordinary
wages is due entirely to a monopoly
created by law. Oleomargine is just
as pure and wholesome, but is placed
under the ban of the law which Great

Chairman Williams explains to the
Barton Monitor that the executive
committee" i. e.. that part of the
republican state committee which did
the active work in the Mead cam
paign of two years ago. on its own
responsibility, did advertise that the
apportionment of delegates for the
regular state convention this year
would be based on the vote for gov
ernor in 1910. He admits that the
state committee is divided in opinion
as to whether such an arrangement
ought to prevail, despite the an
nouncement, and that the question
will be decided later. We imagine
the rule of former years will continue
to be the rule this year. and that the
off year vote will not be adopted as
the basis of apportionment.- Ran.
