What Was Happening SO
Years Ago

Easter is coming. 1t has been Dor
rowed--we mean Lent-long enough.
Last Monday a man named Shonyo,
employed by S. D. Hobson, had a leg
broken by some logs rolling on him.
He was taken to the Green Mountain
House and attended to by DR.. Bow
ker of East Charleston, after which
he was conveyed to his home.
Our prominent horsemen say they
have gone long enough without a
horse trot, and in order to get up a
little excitement, we understand
that there is to be one on the
pond the first fine day that the ice
can be scraped. There will be two
races, open to all horses in town, and
about 500 will be offered in prizes.
VIM. McGovern, train dispatcher
. here, had the misfortune to fall and
break the knee cap of his right leg
last Tuesday at midnight, while de-
scending the stairs leading to the
telegraph office, to enter upon his
duties. His immediate wants were
attended to by DR.. Pottle and in the
meantime arrangements. were made
for sending Mac to his home in
Waterville. P. @. We are sorry for
Macs misfortune. His jolly and
genial good nature will be subjected
to severe strain by his enforced
quietness, but his courage is good

The Collectorship

In our issue of last week a CORE
spondent suggested the name OF
Mr.. c. A. Bancroft as the success
sor to Col. Emery as collector of
customs for this district. The cor
dial way in which this suggestion
has been received is a gratifying
testimony to the worth of an effici-
ent officer. His appointment would
be in line with the civil service idea
which has been growing in popular
favor for many years. 1t would
be a deserved promotion, merited
by years of faithful service in sub
ordinate capacities. His expert
ence has given him an all around
information concerning customs
matters such as has fallen to the
lot of few men in the service, and
If experience counts for anything
it ought to be of special value now
when tariff changes are close at
hand. Mr.. Emery's term has less
than a year to run, and under pre-
vailing custom he would not be con-
sidered for reappointment, even if
there had been no change in the
administration at Washington. AS
Mr.. Bancroft is a loyal democrat,
has full knowledge of all the re-
quirments of the office. and has the
confidence of his associates in the
custom house and of the citizens of
the village without exception, it is
to be hoped his candidacy will re-
ceive like cordial approval from
the "powers that be" at Washing
ton, and when the time for the
change arrives that he will be APP
pointed. Express and Standard. !

his departure from earth to the great

Does High Rate of In crest
Mean Poor Security?

"Cil WI otNhil N9
There are certain banking maxims
which have come to be generally
recognized. When a school boy
starts in higher mathematics. he is
taught that there are certain funda-
mental rules called axioms, as, for
instance, 1.-THE whole is equal to the
sum of all its parts" or "a straight
line is the shortest distance between
two points"
Bankers recognize axioms in bank
ing Just as much as mathematicians
recognize mathematical axioms in
Algebra, and one of the axioms in
banking is the high interest rates
mean doubtful or poor security"
1t does not necessarily follow that
notes bearing 10 per cent interest
may not be good, but very conserva-
tive bankers recognize the fact that
there are risks attending paper pay
ing 10 per cent interest which do not
attend notes bearing half that rate.
There is probably no bank in Yer
mont, and perhaps not one in New
England1that banks on investments
paying as low an average rate of
interest as the Hyde Park Savings
Bank. It's average rate on deposits,
bonds and notes for the year ending
December 31st, 1912, was five and
forty six one hundredths $40 per
cent.
Cities, towns and villages know
that they can go to the Hyde Park
Bank and get 5per cent. money. The
bank invites correspondence with
Selectmen and Village Trustees de-
string at any time to make either
temporary or longtime loans.
The Bank carries continuously one
hundred thousand dollars with two
Boston and New York banking
houses at A percent, the loan being
strictly on call and secured by a
pledge of gilt-edged municipal bonds,
bonds which are a Legal investment
for Vermont savings banks to own.
The question may be asked why
the bank pursues this course when it
might just as readily place its
money at six per cent, thereby en-
abling the bank to declare larger
dividends to it's stockholders. The
reply is that the stockholders are
satisfied with the dividends which
the bank is able to pay as the bust
ness of the bank is now conducted.
Banks investing in notes paying
high rate of interest are never able
to say, as the Hyde Park bank can
truthfully say, that in its twenty
four years of existence it has never
lost dollar by a poor note.
The Hyde Park Savings Bank
makes no criticism upon other banks
that believe it to be for their inter-
est to pursue different course. 1t
simply says to the people of Yer
mont, eff you like our way of ssdoing
business, we would like your de-
posits."
1t is perfectly safe to send your
money to this bank by registered
mail, check, postal money order, or
express money order. In its twenty
four years of business, not a dollar
has ever been lost by a depositor
sending money through the mail.
The Hyde Park Bank pays a per
cent to depositors and pays all taxes.
A statement of assets and liabilities
will be cheerfully sent to any one.

ture of a patriarch without anything
on his face but a goatee or mustache.
It was considered a badge Of honor to
sprout a set of self-folding whiskers
which could be rolled up in neat
wad and thrust carelessly inside the
vest Of the sproutee. The only way
an ancient patriarch could get ready
for church Sunday morning was to
stand off at distance and allow his
wife to comb out his whiskers with a
garden rake.
or recent years the whisker In
dustry in this country Is about az

thinks Of going out in the evening
with whiskers. Thousands of men
who formerly were able to conceal
q large, pink mole with whiskers
now have to resort to black court
plaster. Whenever you meet a man
whose face is studded with thick
interiacing whiskers. you can be sure
that he ran into a barbed wire fence
in early youth and contracted an as
sortment of scars which he would be
willing to trade for secondhand

Whiskers are relic Of the stone age
which are occasionally resorted to as
q disguise by men who are trying to
live down checkered past. They are
caused by allowing the hair to grow
in wild profusion wherever 1t can get
a foothold on the human countenance
and then fall in a detected attitude up
on the owners shirt front.
Some men run heavily to whiskers
and unpaid bills and allow both to
grow with great rapidity. For some
reason or other, patent medicine ven
ders and the cure-all doctor who holds
forth on the four corners affect a
highly impressive brand of whiskers.
