your Swamp Root did me. About four

After giving it thorough trial, re-
ceived relief, so kept on using it and to

THE LARGEST SAVINGS BANK
IN THE WORLD


Can any of our readers tell us
where the largest savings bank in the
world is located ? The National City
Bank of New York City, with its S25,-
10000 capital, its more than S29,-
900, 900 surplus and more than $780,
100000 total assets, is we believe the
the largest bank in this country.
Whether the largest in the world w,
do not know.
This thought has been suggested to
us by letter from a former resident
of Vermont, now president of bank
in one of the thriving cities of the
west. In writing,t to Vermonter, this
Banker makes use of this language
81 have examined the reports Of
financial institutions to some extent,
and l think that Hyde Park must
have the unique distinction of having
the largest financial institution of any
Village of its size in this country, if
not in the world. l don't believe that
there is another village of 4a3 people
which can boast of an institution
which has two and half million dol
lars of assets"
The Hyde Park Savings Bank has
more than two and three-quarter mil
lion dollars of assets and not two and
one half millions as stated in this let
ter while the two Hyde Park banks,
both under the same management and
in the same building, have assets OF
more than three and a quarter million
dollars.
Curtis Guild, the father of Governor
Curtis Guild, Jr, of Massachusetts,
and, until recently, our Minister to
Russian his paper, the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin, once said that Mr..
Page was as well known in Europe as
in America as an important factor in
the hide trade.
Long years ago Hyde Park was
placed upon the map of the world as
an important hide center, and now
comes the added honor of having the
largest financial institution in any vii
lage of its size in the world.
The question naturally asked is
How is this fact accounted for?
The answer is as easy as rolling of
a log, and here it is First, Vermont
is State of wonderful thrift. Nearly
every Nermonter puts by little sum
for a rainy day. Second, the President
of the Hyde Park Bank, Governor
Page, has been a liberal and persistent
user of printers ink. He has never
hid his light under a bushel, and hi:
sixty years Of successful business life
it will be sixty years next Aprl-have
led the peol lie of Vermont to believe
that money placed in the Hyde Park
Bank is safe beyond any peradventure
or doubt; and, so believing, they send
their money to the Hyde Park Bank
-Four per cent, compounded semi
annually with taxes OF every kind paid
by the bank-and that's what the
I Hyde Park Bank does-means that &c

sum OF several times as large as the
average person has at his death.

ing to be an easy matter TO bring this
about Murphy, of course. has property
rights. The old league had at least one
chance to clear itself of Murphy aud
overlooked it. When year or ago
Horace Fogel was thrown out of the
game Murphy should have accompanied
him. 1t WAS proven at the time that
Murphy had been responsible for all of
Fo.els doingS, yet no punishment was
meted out To him. The league has had
occasion to regret this move and if ever
another chance presents itself 10 drop
Murphy i: viii not bc overlooked.
I. is understood that the national com
mission proposes to inilict a heavy fine
on Murphy tor his action in the Ev.rs
case. Believing that Evers has been iu-
jured and Inundated by Murphy the ru-
NOR is going the rounds that the commits
sion will demand that Murphy pay Evers
so5 600 as a balm for his injured feelings.
Under new conditions the commission can
inf1ict such punishment.
Another move which it is contemplated
to start against Murphy is being engj-
neercd bN a group of minor league club
owners, who have reasons for wanting to
see Murphy dropped. Their scheme is to
have as many minor league clubs rs
possiI,le enter into an agreement not to
sell PLAYING material to Murphy'S club
II is figured that if all these plans against
Murphy are carried out that it will not
take him long to lind out that it is to his
own advantage to get out of base ball
