BANKING BY MAIL.
Latest Development in the
Postal Savings System.

Banking by mail +" is the fastest
innovation entered into by the gov
eminent in connection with the
postal savings system.
Hereafter deposits may be made
by mail and Withdrawals likewise eff
fected through the same agency
When the postal savings system was
first put in operation postmasters
were forbidden to permit deposits
by such persons as were not patrons
of the postoffice in which they sought
to be enlisted
This was found to work hard
ship on certain class OF would-be
depositors, and Postmaster General
Burleson accordingly abrogated the
rule. Postmasters throughout the
country now are being advised OF the
change.

Boys and Girls
Save Your NickeIs


There is nothing that contributes
more to health, happiness and long
life than thrift.
Having this in mind, the Hyde
Park Savings Bank has adopted
ideas and methods with reference to
promoting thrift in the mind Of the
Vermont boy--and the Vermont
girl as weli--which are regarded by.
some bankers as contrary to the
rules of good banking.
In other words, the Hyde Park
Savings Bank will receive deposits
of any size, however small, because
it believes that in so doing it is
encouraging the boy and girl to
become thrifty. Starting a bank
account with nickel or dime
involves an absolute loss to the bank
accepting so small deposit, unless
other deposits are made later on
But banks, although their managers
do not always realize it, are incor-
porated for the public good, aud so
the Hyde Park Bank, realizing its
duty to the general public, says to
the boy or girl who is willing to
begin saving, g Come on with your
deposits. however small, the bank
will take its chances on your becom
ing larger banker later on"
Very few boys and girls realize
the wonderful power of compound
interest. The Hyde Park Bank pays
four per cent. and compounds semi
annually and pays all taxes, and at
this rate boy commencing at ten
years OF age to save dime a day,
and continuing to save that sum,
will have

GOOD ROADS PAY.
Land Increase in Actual Value
After Road Improvement.

The direct effect that changing
bad roads into good roads has upon
land value and the general economic
welfare of a community is shown in
several concrete illustrations gather
ed by the United States department
of agriculture The department has
Just issued statement on the sub
ject, based upon a mass of infor-
nation gathered by the Office of pub
lie roads. which is making a special
study Of the economic effect of road
improvement in the country.
According to data gathered. where
good roads replace bad ones, the
value of farm lands bordering on the
roads increase to such an extent that
the cost of road improvement is
equalized, if not exceeded. The
general land values, as well as farm
values, show marked advances, fol-
lowing the improvement of roads.
Among the illustrations cited by
the department are the following !:
In Lee county, Va, farmer owned
100 acres between Ben Hur and
-Ionesville, which he offered til sell
for $500. In 1908 this road was
improved. and, although the farmer
fought the Improvement, he has since
refused $1,000 for his farm. Along
the same road tract of 1873 acres
was supposed to have been sold for
$4,000 The purchaser refused the
contract, however, and the owner
threatened to sue him After the
road improvement aud without any
improvement upon the land, the
same farm was sold 10 the original
purchaser for $4,000. In jackson
county, Ala the people voted bond
issue Of $250,000 for road improv-
ment aud improved "a per cent of
the roads The census of 1900 gives
the value of all farm lands in Jack
son count at $3.50 per acre The
selling value at that time was from
Sc TO to SIS per acre The census
Of 1910 places the value Of all farm
lands III Jackson county at SO 70
per acre. and the selling price is now
from SIS to $25 per acre Actual
figures Of increased value following
road improvement are shown.

Hay and Eggs.

The Burlington Free Press is ex-
aiming the new Democratic tariff
bill with hostile eyes, and noting its
possible effect on the Vermont pro
ducer.
There are good things but fewer
bad ones in the proposed law which
the Democrats are putting through
congress, and it will at least eliminate
some of the absurd and arbitrary
features of the old law that has bur-
dened the people in the name of pro-
lection.
One or two items mentioned by the
Free Press are ofinterest:
Hay now paying duty of 81
per ton can be imported from Canada
under Democratic tariff for So per
ton"
Let the hay come i'll, This is a
bad year for hay in Vermont and
we believe that the importation Of
this staple commodity at that rate
will not be viewed by the majority
of agriculturists, cattle and horse
owners as an affection. On the con-
trary, there is much more alarm and
concern over twenty-dollar hay,
which will be about the going
price" unless conditions are changed
before next winter.
Again the Free Press notes:
Eggs now paying duty Of five
cents per dozen will be imported free
under the Democratic tariff /"
Let the good American hens note
President Wilson's vacation address
and get after him The Cornish
egg-layers haven't stopped cackIing
since the egg schedule was reached,
and if eggs are less than fifty cents
dozen next February the summer
capital win topple to destruction be-
fore another season.

the Forest for 81 for the whole
period. There is only one charge,
aside from that for transportation.

sion should be made to the State

MAKES PESTS WORK /
Ship Cook Tells Mosquito Story
of San Bias Coast.
DoubIe-Headed Dutchman Relates How
Natives by Their Ingenuity Wow
Able to Load Vessel With
coeoanuts Quickly.

New York.-The cook Of the British
schooner Carib IL, which was at the
foot Of West Twenty-fourth street.
while in port. said that he was "d6u-
ble-headed Dutchman." When ques
toned as to the meaning of this phrase
the cook explained that a double
headed Dutchman" was q sailor man
hailing from Amsterdam, Holland.
1t is necessary TO come from Ann
sterdam in order to be addressed by
the above name. A man who came
from Rotterdam, the cook said, would
not be a "double-headsd Dutchman.'
nor could the native OF any other. city
but Amsterdam use this title.
The Carib III. is white, three-mast-
ed schooner owned In Colon. and ar
rived with cargo Of cocoanuts from
the San Bias coast. There were $780,
476 cocoanuts In the schooners hold
when she arrived, according to the
cook. whose name IL Gerrtt Gallandt,
truthful man, nifty years old, who
has been cook on many ships since
he put to sea from Amsterdam IS
years ago. He has not been back
there since.
He remarked that IT was necessary
to anchor about three miles OF the
beach when loading cocoanuts ON the
San Bias coast. He was asked how
the cargo was got on board.
Mosquitoes bring It out" replied
CERT without the semblance of
smile. The mosquitoes on the San
Bias coast are 10 large and smart that
the natives use them to help out I'm
various ways
AS soon as we anchored or the
coast one fine morning we heard q
sound like brass band. We thought
It was native celebration after cleo
uon or something like that, but soon
the sky darkened and the ship was
quickly showered by thousands OF
cocoanuts. II was the mosquito feet
bringing out our cargo and the noise
we heard was their loud humming
I'VE were very much frightened
Mt first and ran below. but native
soon arrived In his canoe and explain
ed matters. He said that another
fleet would be along pretty soon and
that we must be careful not to be
struck by the cocoanuts a. they fell.
The native said that efforts were
being made to train the mosquitoes to
deposit the cocoanuts In the holds OF
the vessel. but he did not expect this
could be accomplished without good
deal of additional training.
There was good deal of satisfac-
ton among the chiefs, the native said,
over the new use that tho mosquitoes
had been put to. Before they were
SO admirably trained the cocoanuts
had to be transported from shore In
lighters and canoes to the waiting
ships"
Gerrit 0allandt concluded his tale
by saying that the Garth II. received
her cargo ON her visit to San Bias
quicker than she had ever got one
before.
