Note the deposits of 1902 have
been multiplied by four, while the
deposits July I, 1913, are about
two and one-half times what they
were January I, 1908.
The growth during the year end
ing June 80, 1913, was S2oS,34S. SO,
or nearly one thousand dollars for
each working day in the year. To
state it exactly, the deposits ex-
ceeded the Withdrawals for each
day in the year-not counting Sun
days and holidays-by an average
of s971.SI per day.
On the goth day of June, 1913,
the deposits passed the two and
one-half million dollar mark.
Can there be any better evidence
than this of the practically unlim-
tied public confidence in the sound
judgment and cautious conserva-
tism of the men who govern, direct
and manage the affairs Of the

Plenty of Strong Young Republicans.

Mr.. Editor: The following ap-
peared in your paper short time ago:
cts true there aren't many yonng
men in Vermont capable Of filling the
craftsmanship Of the Republican state
committee. The more one casts about
the more one wonders who can do
better than Mr.. Williams after all.
Mr.. Williams receives little, however.
from the state papers except knocks.
| am afraid you are not very we'll
acquainted over the state, or you
would never have printed the above.
There are hundreds of young men in
the old Green Mountain state who are
fully capable of filling the chairman
ship Of the Republican state commit
tee, and if you do not know them,
come down and [ will introduce you to
few in the southern part of the
state, or, if more convenient, I can
pick out few of them in your part
of the state, and some of them reside
in Orleans county. too.
| The Republican state committee will
make grave mistake if they reflect
Mr.. Williams as chairman. | say this
simply because he is one of our state
officers-a public servant-and his
place is to serve the people, and that
is what he is paid for.
1t is not just the thing for a state
official to be running over the state
daobling in politics and receiving his
salary 'out of the state treasury.
When a public officer is elected, he
should serve all the people irrespective
of politics, creed or religion.
We have naught against Mr..
Williams but if he wishes to run the
Republican party and head the state
committee, it would be more becoming
for him to resign his present official
position and devote his entire time tc
politics.
We want STRONG man in 1914
as chairman of our state committee.
as there are signs Of breakers ahead
and it will take a capable, strong
, minded and energetic man to pull us
through. We don't want the mistakes
of 1912 repeated in 1914.
The party leaders were warned ir
1912 of the fatal step they we're taking
, but they failed to take notice anc
were soundly whipped for their fool
ishness- Will they heed the warning
next year? Time alone will tell.
Very truly yours, L.

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 GER
tainly stunted as is a field of grass
on worn out soil, without fertilizer
Confidence is the fertilizer which
promotes the growth of any Saw
lngs Bank just as as much as phos-
pilates promote plant growth.
Attention is called to the follow
ing statement showing the growth
of deposits in the Lamoille County
Savings Bank and Trust Company

to go to Canada. A few days later he
was found dead in lonely cornfeld.
This in brief is the history of the case
so far as Woodstock people know.
There is growing sentiment that
Toby was killed. There is said to to

possession of the county officials and
that this reference refers to indica-

the body was found.
Castleton Normal School-AgricuItur al
Course.
AS a means of increasing it's useful
ness to the schools of Vermont, the
Castleton normal school is offering to
the teachers of this state, year. S
course in agriculture by correspond
ence. The aim in this course is not
only to give teachers the opportunity
to become we'll prepared to handle
school work in this subject while they
are actually engaged in teaching and
thus increase their efficiency without
loss of time, but to give this oppor-
tunity at a cost easily within the reach
of all. The price for this course,
including one years subscription to
the Rural Educator, through the
columns of which it is given, is only a
dollar and a half. Nearly all the
material required for study is free for
the asking. The lessons extend through
the school year and are so arranged as
to enable the teacher to teach effect
lively the subject matter of the lessons
as the course is pursued. Through
it the teacher will secure the best of
the many available national and state
publications for school work in agri-
culture. These when properly used,
will furnish sufficient we'll graded
material for the teacher to use in most
of her class work, so the burden OF
purchasing numerous text books is
imposed neither upon her school mol
upon the teacher Several Vermont
teachers have already enrolled for this
course and many more should enroll.
The course will enable many teachers
to make their school work more
PRACTICAL than they have beer
able to do. To those who later intenC
to attend the Castleton nomal school
the course should appeal. as those wht
have completed it before entering thu
school are not required to take thi:
work in residence and thus have con
. siderable more time to devote to othe1
work. Any interested in learning
more about the course will receive

The Monitor prints this week some
more figures of COW testing which are
interesting. In this connection we
note that the summary of the year. 5
records of the Lamoille Valley asso-
citation shows that one herd lin at
association contained a COW which
made net profit of S132.52 for the
year. Fifteen Or twenty cows of this
kind make farming profitable. We note
another COW in that association which
cost the owner 1914 in cash to keep
after milking her for the year. That's
the difference in COWS. Which kind do
you keep, Mr.. Farmer? Do you know?
The Monitor has protested at the
way the Boston & Maine railroad has
put new train schedules into effect
without in any 2manner whatever let
ting the public know about it. Hera-
tofore the schedules of train changes
could not be obtained at the local
station "a hours in advance of the
change in fact ofttimes not six hours
in advance, and the travelling public
was greatly Inconvenience. This fall
the railroad did get it's new time tables
out little more in advance and
notified the people more generally
than heretofore of the changes. A
little better. Let US hope the new
management will still further serve
the public by yet little carrier public
announcement.

seemed to lose sight of the educa-

really to believe that two more will
be broken? % II know it. "Then
let us get it off our minds" And,
taking two of the cups by the han
dies, he dashed them together. The
anger and dismay of the countess
proved conclusively that she had
not seriously held to her supersti-
ton. It also loosed any hold the
absurd idea may have had on the
minds of the children.

should receive the hearty support
of all.
The officials of the Commercial
single company believes that good
cheap shingles can be made from
red cedar if the proper care is taken
in manufacturing and grading.
The company is composed OF a
group of twenty mills in Whatcom
county and plans TO place the new
grades of shingles on the market as
soon as the spring buying sets in
throughout the East and South.
The market is bottomles at present.
Mr.. Johns says, but he expects to
see ]obbers start buying early in
the new year.
Although the price of cedar pro-
ducts remains at bedrock, the fir
lumber manufacturers report a big
volume of inquiries coming in and
express the belief that there will
be an advance in lumber prices some
time in February. Fred j. Wood.
manager of the E. K. Wood lumber
company. declares that he would
like to close his plant two weeks for
the Christmas holidays. but that
business is piling up SO fast that he
may not be able to keep the pant
idle that long.

that it will reopen November Is,

that of improving the rural school.
This she hopes to accomplish by
centralizing the supervision in the
hands of the county superintendent,
paying him better salary and re-
quiring additional work from him;
and by building up community CEN
tiers all over the state. Z
To carry out these policies of the
department bulletins and circulars
are issued from time to ii, e. Man.
uals for elementary and high schools
are printed regularly; and addition
al bulletins are gotten out to cover
particular needs. The appropria-
ton for printing in the department
for the biennium was $4,000.
Members of the department travel
about, engaged in field work much
of the time. Addresses at institu-
ties, educational associations and
meetings, and public gatherings are
called for constantly. It is in meet
ing and addressing the people that
the members of the department are
able to acquaint the public with the
ideas and policies in which the they
are interested.

Ns.;anal Master Oliver Wilson of lii

M;ahioan and Professor T. G. Atkeson
81 Morgantown, w. Va, has lately Is
ss,,od an open letter to congress on the
GRANGE position on the tariff. Funda-
mentally the grange takes the posi-
lion that so long as protection is the
no,icv of the government agriculture
i entitled to it's full share of pro-
toction. For several years the national
grange in annual session has stated Its
nolicy. and again last November al
snokane. Wash, it adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions: 1--WE believe that
tba tariff should be SO regulated that
Il sball not cover more than the differ
ence between the cost of production at
home and abroad, and if we are to have
free trade for one we should have free
trade for all, and, further, that when
the manufacture or sale of any arti-
Gle becomes monopolized the tariff be
removed from such article.
The grange does not undertake to
saw whether protection or free trade
is the best policy for the government
to pursue. because it is nonpartisan
organiza ton, but it does believe that
the farmer is entitled to as much con-
alienation at tho hands of congress as
is the manufacturer, and it demands
"tariff for all or tariff for none The
legislative committee objects to placing
agricultural products on the free list
as raw material All products as
they leave the farm are the finished
products" of the farmer as much as
is the output of the factories the
finished product of the manufacturers,
and any and every protection or adj
vantage that is accorded to one should
be accorded to the other. IF we are
to have free wool. then free woolens;
if free raw sugar. then free refined
sugar. The proposition to put wool
on the free list while tariff is con-
tinued on the goods made from the
wool is manifestly unfair as between
farmer and manufacturer"
The legislative committee in closing
informs the congress that the grange
knows the difference between down
ward and upward and it insists that
the farmer be not Disseminated against
in the letting down of the bars"
