PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
Closer Fowls Are Confined, If Allowed
Sufficient Room for Exercise,
Better They Are.

A goose that is being fattened for
market should never be permitted to
swim in the water or to wander any
distance. The closer they are con-
fined, as long as they have a pen for
sufficient exercise, the better table
poultry they make. To keep them
clean while being fattened, cover the
floor of the building in which they
stay at night with a thick covering OF
straw. Remove this in the morning
with a pitchfork, either into the air
or sunlight where it will dry. Thor
oughly scrape the floor, and cover it
with dry sand or earth; as night ap.
proaches throw down the bedding
again, and in this way they can be
kept perfectly clean, and under these
conditions they will improve much
faster
When the time comes for selling
them, the geese should be confined in
a limited space, provided with a
building for shelter only, plenty of
water to drink, and be fed all they
will eat of a dry mash maGe Of one.

LAURELS WERE WITH UMPIRE
Sarcastic Remark for Which "Kick-
ing" Player Guilty of Bad Err
ror Had No Retort.

Sherwood Magee was still harping
on a close decision which Umpire
Bill KLEIN had given against the Phil
lies in an early inning, when another
close play came in the fifth. Again
the opposing team was favored.
THAT'S two you gave them, Bill"
Magee shot at KLEIN.
The game ragged along SO close q
run would have decided the issue
either way. One of the opposing bat
ters lifted fly to left. There we're
two on the bases. Magee played the
lick poorly, and muffed the ball. The
two baserunners crossed the plate
with what proved to be the winning
runs.
Magee tried to avoid KLEIN as he
walked to the bench after the inning,
but Bill was alert. He sauntered close
to Magee and said:

CUSTOM HAS ALWAYS BEEN
Popular Error Holds That President
Lincoln Issued First Thanks
giving Proclamation.

There Is some discussion as to the
origin of the present national custom
of observing Thanksgiving day. II
was held by large number of people
until recently, that the custom was
first established by President Lincoln
during the Civil war. Examination OF
the records showed that this was a
mistake. A number of the presidents
who preceded Mr.. Lincoln issued
Thanksgiving proclamations, the prac
tice dating back to Washington. They
had been desultory, however, and there
had been no regular repetition OF the
proclamation until after it had been is
sued by Mr.. Lincoln.
The custom of observing a day OF
thanksgiving and prayer is as old as
the civilization of the country. 1t was
inaugurated in New England very
shortly after the arrival of the first
English immigrants, and it gradually
became the day of all others in the
year, for surprising Christmas in the
enthusiasm and universally of it's OBJ
servance. In the southern states, prior
to the Civil war, it was quite general
though there was no common day OF
celebration. The governors Of the
states issued their proclamations with
out reference to the dates set by the
governors of other states, and it not
infrequently happened that the cele.
bration would occur in Maryland on a
day different from that which was OBJ
served in the neighboring states. There
were commonwealth, prior to the
Civil war, where no proclamation was
issued, and there was no observance
whatever
The proclamation of Mr.. Lincoln
seemed to electrify the country and to
cement the states in their observance
of Thanksgiving, though there were
commonwealth which for some years
afterward selected different date
This gradually ceased, until now the
celebration has become a thoroughly
national and universal event. For a
while it eclipsed the Fourth of July
and in New England today it far sur.
passes Christmas in interest. With
the disappearance of sectiOnalism
however, the Fourth of July has as.
sumed it's normal place in American
holidays, and is not likely again
through any combination of circum.
stances, to lose it.

Mrs. E. w. Cooper of Bloomfield,

Vinol. It was wonderful help to the
child, breaking up her cold quickly

fore it is a perfectly safe medicine
for children, because it is not a

THE PROSPERITY OF
VERMONT SAVINGS BANKS

iiol. l. -. NillicihS, Jul ose' ~
Bank Examiner, has recently Civ
en- us a most f1attering showing
in regard to the growth of our
Vermont Savings Banks. He
says the increase during the past
year has been the largest of any
year in the history of our Savings
Banks-;n round numbers, ST.
100000.
The people of our little COM
monwealth have not only been
wonderfully prospered during the
past year, but they have been
laying aside some of the fruits of
that prosperity for a rainy day.
Go back six years, to 1907, we
find that the total deposits in all
the Savings Banks in Vermont
on the first day of July of that
year were $57, 444, 294.4S; on
the first day of July, 1913, they
were $97, 929, 76480, a gain of
more than So percent in The six
years-a most encouraging show
ing.
A few of the more prosperous
Banks in the State show a much
higher percentage of gain For
instance, the Hyde Park Savings
Bank on the first day of July,
1907, had 1914, 1884 in depos-
its. Six years later, on the first
day Of July, 1913, those deposits
had increased practically three
fold-to be exact, they were Oh
that date $2,523, 922.73.
Had the growth in deposits in
all the banks in the State increas-
ed in the same wonderfulratio as
the Hyde Park Bank, they would
have today amounted, in round
numbers, to one hundred ard
seventy million dollars, or sub
stantiallv twice what they now
really are.
The Hyde Park Savings Bank
has had a growth that is s. nply
! phenomenal, and probably has
no parallel in any country village
in the United States.
! One does not need go far to
discover the reason for this. The
depositing public is proverhially
very cautious and discrinina-
ting, rarely making a mistake,
1t thinks it sees in the manage
ment of the Hyde Park Savings
Bank an adherence to certain
well-known flnanciallaws which,
if closely followed, always lead
to the port OF safety.
Not a dollar lost by poor
note in nearly twenty-five years
is statement that can be made
by very few banks in this coun-
try, but it can truthfu'ly be
claimed by the Hyde Park Bank.
What does it mean? Simply
that the management OF that
bank not only possess banking
and business judgment of high
order, but it means, as well, that |
they are most painstaking and
diligent in scrutinizing all securi-
ties offered as a basis for loans.
The Hyde Park Bank pays four
percent per annum, compounded |
semi-annually, pays all taxes;
and, as a basis for the claim
which it makes, that it is per-
fectly safe to send money to that |
bank by mail-either in check,
postal or express money order or
by registered mail-it assures the |
depositing public that in the
nearly twenty-five years of the
banks existence not a dollar sent |
to it by a deposition has ever
been lost.
A postal addressed to the Pres
ident, Carroll S. Page, or the
Treasurer, F. M. Culver, Hyde
Park, Vermont, will promptly
bring any desired facts touching
this bank.
