Confidence in SAVINGS
Banks

Everybody knows that the
most valuable asset which a
Savings Bank has is public
confidence in its safety and
soundness.
Without it, its growth is as
certainly stunted as is a field
OF grass on worn out soil,
without fertilizer, Confidence
is the fertilizer which promotes
the growth of any Savings
Bank just as much as phos-
pilates promote plant growth.
Attention is called to the
following statement showing
the growth OF deposits in the
Lamoille County Savings Bank

DON'T BURN R0UGHAGE.
Expensive and Wasteful Practice With
CornstaIks, Straw, Chaff, Etc.
A contributor to Farm and Fireside

Cornstalks, Straw, Chaff, Etc.
A contributor to Farm and Fireside
writes
"a tendency exists among many
farmers to burn up all cornstalks, loose
straw, clover chaff and superhuous
roughage about the place. But it is
too expensive.
Every time an acre Of stalks is
burned twenty-one pounds of nitrogen
go into the air, and it will cost you
$3.50 to buy it back again. Wheat or
oat straw from an acre contains about
twelve to fourteen pounds of nitrogen
and clover chaff three times this
amount.
zone can easily figure from these
deductions what a reckless loss to the
farm is fire in the chaff pile or stalk
field. The cutaway and disk harrows
will chop these bulky materials up
ready for the plow where they can be
turned under. If you want to fatten
the old farm, stuff it with organic mat

LUMBERMER TO CONVENE
DURING 1915 EXPOSITION

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-That

cent meeting energetic steps were
taken for the erection on the exposi-
tion grounds of a lumbermen's build
ing and house of Hoo-Hoo. for the
celebration OF the completion of the
Panama canal.
The order. which numbers $4,000
members scattered throughout seven
teen countries. and is composed of
lumbermen, foresters. and others con-
nected with the lumber industry. has
appointed a board of governors for
the lumbermen's building and house
OF Hoc-Hoo to design the general
plan and to raise $50 900 for the con-
templated structure, which will ex-
hibit the lumber industry one of the
largest in the United States. This
will be in addition TO the exhibits of
forestry in the palace OF agriculture,
for there will be no independent for
estry building at the exposition.
The order of Hoo-Uoo is one OF the
most famous bodies in the world.
1t was organized at Gurdon. Arkansas
in January 1892, by six lumbermen
and lumber newspapermen who
found themselves stranded at that
little place in a washout, and the or

which is the promotion of the health.
happiness and long life OF the fellow
Hoo-Hoos. The number nine is
used wherever possible. The con-
trolling body is the supreme nine.
The initiation fee is 5000 and the
dues 80 cents. The regular meetings
OF the order are held on the 9th OF
the 9th month of the year (Septem-
ber) and are called to order nine min
