LYNX Pursues Children.

According to John wilkins, lumber
man, who arrived in Rutland on the
Stockbridge stage, two children of Mr.,
and Mrs. Charles Sparks of Hancock
had an exciting experience Sunday af-
ternoon with a Canadian lynx which
followed them half a mile from patch
of woods to their doofyard, approaching
within few feet but apparently not
daring 10 attack them.
The children, Alice and Tom, are II
and nine years old, respectively. They
had been for the day at the house OF
an uncle and were returning home,
the road leading through the woods all
the way, when they heard a noise
resembling a cat squat, bat louder.
Badly frightened, as there are nc
houses in the vicinity, they started to
run and the big gray lynx came into
sight following their trail in the snow.
Twice the animal approached within
80 feet but it retreated when the CIR
threw sticks at it. Its snarls so ter
rorized thechildren that they could moi

The Banner Savings
Bank Town of
Vermont

On the 4th day of October, 1912,
there were 7o2 depositors in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank Who resided in
Hyde Park and the aggregate of their
deposits was more than quarter of a
million dolars-or, to be exact, S25I,-
.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 a won
derfu 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
ly every other, or second, man, woman
and child, infant, youth, mddle-a9e
aid aged person in Hyde Park, 7o2
out OF 1853, has an average deposit in
the Hyde Park Savings Bank OF $751;
GO.
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 nabits, characteristics,
idiosincracies business abilities, conser-
vatsm and banking methods, and they
show their implicit faith in these man
ayers by bestowing upon them a mea-
sure of confidence and trust which IS
very rarely found. We doubt if a par
allel can be found anywhere.
These home depositors know that
S0fety, and not high rates OF inter
est obtained at far away points, is the
uniform and unvarying motto of then
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
D no more SO than to depostors in
D other towns.
Nobody knows you quite so we'll az
a your near neighhors. If they have
j faith in you it is usually because yor
= are entitled to their confidence.

In these days of well-nigh universal

War, was greater than it is now. 81

one barrel of flour, $16 25; two bushels
of potatoes, $5.50 In the same month

For every 100 cents which the con-
sumner pays for food, only 30 to 50
reach the producer. About Is cents
for transportation charges and the rest
are absorbed by profits and expenses
of the various middlemen. A recent
comprehensive investigation in New
York showed that while no middeman
makes an excessive profit, there are
too many of them between the pro-
Queer and consumer, says an expert in
Farm and Home.
Various plans have been tried to
bring theseItwo parties nearer together
so that the consumer can buy for
less and the producer get more than
at present. Public markets are being
conducted successfully in many cities

cerned. They work better in cities of

their filled market baskets. But in
some large cities, notably Washington,
DC, and Albany, N. Y, they have
l,:en successfully conducted for many
':ysars.
1.-The high cost of living has been the
means of establishing many other
'.markets in recent months. The need
and success of these is explained by
the experience of a workingman'
wife. who told me how much more she
could get for her money at the market
than she ever could at the stores, and
how the family could enjoy many little
things that they could not afford at the
old time store price.
/ Previous to the development of the
fruit and truck interests and the estab-
lshment of a public market in Okla
homa City that place was dependent
on outside States for her fruit and veg
etable supply. Now farmers bring in
their wagons loaded with fruits, vege-
tables and other products, and sell out
quickly to either retailers or consumers
who come with baskets and bags and
take home enough for several days
supply.
The experience at Waterloo, Ia, a
city of 10000 people, is typical of many
others. A farmers market is main
tanned where farmers may offer their
produce for sale at any price they can
get. From 500 to 5000 people gather
daily to buy these products. They
come with baskets and buy from few
. quarts to a half bushel at a time,
Some farmers drive 16 to 20 miles, but
most of them not over seven or eight
There are 80 or 40 storekeepers who are
! kicking, but 10000 people are happy, Sc
a the success OF the plan can be voted a.
