A Letter to the Level Headed
Farmers and Business Men
of LamOille County.

| Va L0A1AOll1C
Mr.. Farmer: Do you know that
the most enterprising farmers in
the country now are paying their
bills by check?
When you give a man a check
to settle for any particular pur-
chase or to settle any debt, he
has to endorse that check before
he can get the money out of the
bank. The check is charged to
your account at the bank and
sent to you, so that you always
have in your possession a vouch-
er or receipt showing the pay
ment.
If other bright and progressive
farmers pay their bills by check,
why shouldn't you? The bank
furnishes you, free, the blank
checks, deposit slips, ETC., and
extends to you every courtesy
consistent with safe banking.
The thrifty farmer today pays
cash for what he buys. He does
not run into debt at the stores
the shops or the mills. If for a
little while he is short of money,
he should go to his bank and
borrow, then he knows that
what he owes he owes exclusively
to his bank.
One cannot begin too quickly
to get out of the old ruts. What
is said above applies not only to
the farmer, but to the blacksmith,
the wheelwright, the harness
maker, the shoemaker and all
othes lines of business as well.
The old Lamoille County Ma
tional Bank at Hyde Park COM
menced its sixtieth year of bust
nessMay 81, 1914. tits staunch,
relia BILE, accommodating and for
more than twenty-five years has
never said mo" to any customer

offering lawful paper. This bank
will always take care Of your re-
quirements.
You can open two accounts
with this bank, one which draws
interest and another-a small &C.
count-which draws no interest
and is known as a Checking

from one OF these accounts to the
other at any time, as may suit
the convenience and necessity Of
your business.

about the way to open and keep |

Sara Bernhardt is thoroughly French
and devoted to her country. Although
a women advanced in years, she would
like to fight in the ranks for France.
Her son has gone to the war and she has
just returned from Brittany to give her
theatre for army hospital service, just as
she did forty-four years ago. These
women inspire armies. But then France
is woman. 1t is the feminine among
nations, frivolous in peace, frenzied in
war, fearful in revolution and sublime in
victory or defeat. She can fight in the
morning, bury her dead in the afternoon
dine merrily at night, and sing and
dance till morning. She goes to war as
to a fancy dress ball, fights with the
courage of fatalism and dies laughing.
Her life is a romance and her story a
work of art.

Last Friday was the fftieth anniver-
sary of the first use of mail cars upon
railroads in this country. Previous to
Aug. %, 1864, all mail was distributed
at post-office centers and the service was
slow and cumbersome. But there were
many who opposed the change as they
oppose every Improvement. The first
man who cooked his food instead of eat
ing it raw as everyone else did, was prob
ably called fool for his pains.

OVER ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE.
PASSENGERS AND GUESTS
ON FIRST TRIP.
BEAUTIFULLY EQUIPPED
AND C0MM0D|0uS
Trip Is Made in Two Hours and Forty
Minutes, Instead of Expected
Schedule of Hour and Half.

The new steamboat Hanover left
! the dock at Milenburg Thursday at
3:O5 with 1903 guests and eight pas
sengers on board. She is in COM
mand of Capt. VIM. Hanover, for
whom she was named, and is the
most elegantly equipped boat that
has ever been put IN the lake trade.
She was built by Harlan & Hollings-
worth, of Wilmington, Del, expressly
for Lake Pontchartrain trade, and
represents the highest class work in
modern steamboat construction. The
hull is all of steel, 2O5 feet in length,
81 feet wide, 4 feet inches draft,
speed Is miles per hour, with Ca
pacity for 1000 people. It has a
grand dancing saloon, splendid din
ing room, modern cafe, spacious
decks and comfortable loung.ng
hooks. The service will be first class
in every detail. Special accommoda-
tions will be maintained for auto
mobiles. Good music and dancing
will be a special feature, while The
fas time is expected to bring large
patronage from those who place
special value on quick travel between
lu0lI AOnOS Ou lAA0 0AOC VA IAO Ae@AAS
and New Orleans.
The Guaranteed time of the boat
was not made on this first trip, as
she arrived at Vaudeville at 5:45,
making the trip in two hours and
forty minutes. This failure is prob
ably due to the unforeseen obstacles
that usually arise in the try-out of
first experiences, and the remedy for
cause Of delay will probably be ap-
piled in the future.
As the boat was about to leave
Vaudeville, one of the deck hands,
a heavy-built negro, was knocked
senseless in handling the gang plank
and fell into the lake. The mate
jumped in and rescued him. He
was unconscious for some time after
he was taken from the water.

JUDGE LANCASTER
SPEAKS TO GRAND
JURY Of VIOLATION
SALOONS, Ms ETC.
ATTENTION CALLED TO COM
PLANTS MADE AGAINST RE-
sTRICTED DISTRICT.
Town will Also Look Into Matter
and Proper Steps Will BE
Taken to Remedy Evils.

| In his charge to the grand jury
Judge Lancaster called attention to
complaints that had been made Of
ldisorderly conduct in the restricted
district. It appears that respectable
families in nearby houses are subject
Led to the annoyance Of witnessing
scenes that should not be uncovered
to the moral atmosphere in which
youth should be reared. While not
having power to remove the district,
the Judge is determined that if care
! is not taken to abate the nuisanceS
complG ned of he will offer to the
people such protection as he can with
in the province OF his Office, and he
will see to it that the citizens in the
near neighborhood are protected
from annoyance; but it is within the
jurisdiction of the town authorities
to see that proper provision is made
| IN matters of this kind.
Mayor Lacroix, of the new admin
istration, is heartily in accord with
the movement for more rigid sup
ervision of the restricted district, and
while the matter of the removal of
the district is one that will require
consideration and investigation that
will not permit of a hasty decision,
7 1t will have the attention OF the coun-
Gil, and in the meantime any loose
conduct or annoying exhibitions OF
the true nature of the district will
be severely dealt with upon proper
complaint being made.
Judge Lancaster also called atten-
ton to the fact that two saloons
in the parish had been complained of
as violating the law in the sale of
drinks to minors. The law was very
plain in this matter, and if it had
been violated the parties so infring-
ing upon the law should be brought
to the bar of justice.

OF The War

t5
Zacatecas, Mex, June 25.-AfteE

final assault on Zacatecas took place
Tuesday, resulting in the capture Of
the city by the constitutional SITS at
1880 p. m. The dead on the federal

numbered 1000 and 1000 wounded,
while the losses to the attacking side

tested during the present revolution,

Fourteen thousand federals were en-
trenched in seemingly impregnable
positions.
Five thousand prisoners were cap
tured by Gen. Villas troops. Twelve
cannon, nine military trains, SIX
thousand rifles ane three carloads OF
cannon and rife ammunition were
captured. The federals were report
ed to have dynamited many build
ings OF the city before evacuatiqg,
Staying those of Villas troops who
had occupied the buildings in the
street fighting.
Gen. Villa, himself, gave out the
following account Of the battle:
After four days hard attacks, to-
days was the decisive one. The en-
emy, numbering 1900, commanded
by Medina Barron ard five other
generals, were defeated completely
by my forces, which were a ded ef-
fectively by General Natera's men.
Up to this moment we have 5000
prisoners, twelve cannon, nine trains,
two carloads Of rife ammunition AMI
cannon shells and nearly 5000 Mau,
ser riflels, and large quantity OF
provisions and other munitions OF
war"
