that presented last Friday night.
Two big loads of logs have been

THE HYDE PARK
SAVINGS BANK.
Passed the Two and Ohe-half hi lion
Dollar Milestone January lst.

Passed the Two and ohe-half BiiIion
Dollar Milestone January lst.
On the Dist day Of January. 1859,
the Hyde Park Savings Bank opened
its doors TO the public. On the first
day of January, 1913 its assets were
S2,515, 910.98.
For twenty-four years it has
been a leading factor in the develop
ment, progress and growth of every
business enterprise. within its legit.-
mate sphere of business, which has
applied to it for financial assist nee
and backing.
In these twenty-four years we have
passed through two monetary or
business panics, panics so severe in
the financial world that the great
majority of the banks of the country
were compelled to withhold financial
aid to those who asked therefor.
But during all these years the La
noble County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. has never declined a loan
asked for by any business interest
of Lamoille County, or, indeed, of
any other County in Vermont which
could legitimately expect to be cared
for by this bank.
1t has been a pillar of strength
which has never failed in times of
direst financial stress.
1t extends its kindly greetings to
Vermonters everywhere as it COM
mences its twenty-fifth year of sub
stantial progress, and suggests that
when you have any surplus money to
deposit at A per cent.-all taxes paid
by the Bank-you make your deposit
with the Hyde Park Bank, feeling the
fullest assurance that in so doing you
will place your money where it is
safe beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Hyde Park Savings Bank has
an earned surplus of 1925; its
capital and stockholders liability is
$100,000.00 so that before any de
positor could suffer loss, the bank
would have to lose $l97, 342.35.
That such loss is entirely improba.
BILE is evidenced by the fact that in
the twenty-four years of the bank
existence it has never lost dollar by
a poor note and believes that today
every dollar of its assets, whether ir
notes, bank stocks or bonds, is good
beyond a reasonable doubt.

PRSSUMPSlC
TELEPHONE co,
CHANGE Rates

General Manager Brown of the
Passumpsic Telephone Company is
sending to every subscriber with the
February bills statement Fexplain-
ing in detail the revised telephone
rates, which go into effect on April
LIST. In speaking about the schedule
he said:
This move has been under contem.
plation for a long time. Last fall
we planned to put the new rates
into effect, but postponed action I'M
til our plant facilities could be in
creased and the company become
better able to meet the demands for
service.
Ever since the company.was organ
lied we have been giving telephone
service at rates generally less than
standard. As the number of sub
scribers increased, there has come a
demand for better service. We have
extended our lines into remote sec
tons and improved and extended our
switchboard facilities. All this, of
course, has cost a great deal.
At the rates now in force the COM
peny has been wholly unable to Sc
cure d reasonable return upon the
money actually invested in the bust
ness. 1t is manifestly fair that any
public service company serving a
community shall have a reasonable
return upon its investment.
Itha5 been proved in many parts
Of New England that standard tele-
phone service cannot be furnished
at O profit at the rates now charged
by this company.
From company operating eleven ex-
changes and serving 2700 subscribers
in 1907, the Passumpsic Telephone
Company has grown until it is oper-
atins twenty-five Exchanges with
over $500 subscribers.
The company is constantly improv-
ing it's lines. equipment and service,
and endeavoring to build up system
that will be credit to the counties
it serves. All that is expected or
asked in return is revenue suffi-
cient to properly smaintainl its plant
in proper condition to give good SER
vice, to take care of depreciation
and provide reasonable return for
stockholders who have placed their
money in the business. This, nc
right thinking man will deny is rea.
sonable and just.
Phe rates that will go into effect
on April 1st are the standard rates
of New England Telephone and Tel
egraph Company, with which we are
associated as q part of the Great. Bel
System.
One Of the most welcome schanges
will be that all six-party business
subscribers will be changed to four
party lines, which will be great ad
vantage.
The rates paid for special and two
party line cervice will be very low
thooe for two party business and one
party residence service having beer
reduced in the new schedule, while
rates for one party business and tive
party residence service will remain
as ct present, provided bills are pai(

QUAKER CITY
SCHOOL FOR COPPERS
Prospective Policemen Have to At
tend Just as Though They
were Kids.

PHILADELPHIA, July 22.- The
Quaker city's School for Coppers" to-
day is in full swing and every day
for the next four weeks one hundred
an dseventeen prospective Philadei-
phia policemen will theoretically tuck
their books under their arms and at
tend the first grade. And these grown
men attend school just like they did
when they were kids. They are sup.
posed to be at the schoolroom at 9
o'clock They get an hour recess LOT
lunch and then go back to the grind
until 4:30 at which hour School lets
out. And the course of police A Z
C's which these men are put through
is not by any means play. When they
pass the course they are privileged to
put an NJ. C. after their names. The
M. C. stands for Master of Copology.'
The regular course is four weeks
long.
The new school for coppers' Is

est innovation. The Philadelphia po-
lice force, which has had some mean
things said about 1t, all over the coun-
try on account of blunders of its men
in arresting and combining in cells
persons who some policemen fancied
were violating laws, It hereafter to
be a trained and schooled body OF
men. A school for new appointees
to the force has been established at
the Tenth and Greenwisch street po-
lice substation. Every roundsman,
patrolman and traffic man hereafter
appointed will have to have diploma
from the law class. Director Porter
appointed the first squad to take the
course and these III men now In the
primer of the school will be ready for
active duty when they are graduated
at the end of four weeks.
Ever since the school for firemen
