In Oregon is repeated the familiar story
OF the Progressive slump so general
throughout the cOIutry. In 1912 the
vote for President stood: Wilson, 1904:
Roosevelt, 81, 900; Taft, "a 673. The 1914
primary registration, which includes
women voters for the first time, shows /;
Democrats, SO 9S6; Progressive, 6 255; Re-
publicans, 134,6S7. The total vote, in
Guiding the Socialists, 1912 was 1877, 040.
The total registration this year, without
the Socialists, is 200, sos. The Roosevelt
vote in 1912 was % 30 per cent of the
whole; the Progressive registration this
year is only 3.9per cent of the total of the
leading three parties, and less than half

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 $25,OOO,OOO CAPT
tai, its more than 500, 100000
surplus and more than $496,OOO-
900 total assets, is we believe
the largest bank in this country.
Whether the largest in the world
we do not know
This thought has been suggest
ed to us by a letter from a former
resident of Vermont, now presi-
dent of a bank in one of the
thriving cities of the west. In
writing to a Vermonter, this
Banker makes use of this Ian
guage:
81 have examined the reports of
financial institutions to some ex-
tent, and | think that HYDE Park
must have the unique distinction
of having the largest financial
institution of any Village of it's
size in this country, if not in the
world. l don't believe that there
is another village of 423 people
which can boast of an institution
which has two and a half million
dollars of assets"
The Hyde Park Savings Bank
has more than two and three
quarter million dollars of assets
and not two and one half mil
hons as stated in this letter 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
Observation-Disclosures, until re-
Gently, our Minister to Russia
IN his paper, the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin, once said that
Mr.. Page was as we'll known in
Europe as in America as an i'm
pOrtant 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
institution in any vii.
lage of it's size in the world.
The question naturally asked
is, How is this fact accounted for?
The answer is as easy as roll
ing offa log, and here tits: First,
Vermont is a State OF wonderful
thrift. Nearly every thermometer
puts by a little sum for a rainy
day. Second, the President of
the Hyde Park Bank, Governor
Page, has been a liberal and per-
sistant user of printers ink. He
has never hid his light under
bushel, and his sixty years of
business life-it will be
sixty years next April-have led
the people of Vermont to believe
that money placed in the Hyde
Park Bank is safe beyond any
oeradventure or doubt; and, so
believing, they send their money
% the Hyde Park Bank.
Four per cent, compounded
emi-annually with taxes ofevery
Kind paid by the bank-and
hats what the Hyde Park Bank
loes-means that 10 cents saved
ach day amounts to $13,72O.95
It the end of 60 years-a sum
If several times as large as the
lverage person has at his death.
Who says it isn't wise to de-
,OSit money in this Bank

PrOuty'S Request

A misfortune under which Charles A.
Prouty seems to be laboring and under
which he has been laboring ever since he
was first brought prominently before the
public as possible candidate for United
States Senator from Vermont is that he is
necessarily absent from Vermont on very
important federal business and is, there
fore, not in close touch with the current
of affairs in the state from which he
would like to receive the honor. For
that reason he is sometimes led into error
through importunng of individuals or
groups of people i'll Vermont, and he is
led into committing himself before know
ing the real situation. His reported re-
quest to the Vermont Progressive party
to withhold endorsement of his possible
candidacy is an indication of desire to
get out of an embarrassing situation in
view OF the marked dissemination for
fusion between the sections of the old
Republican party. The request may also
be the torerunner of a more sweeping
action. That remains to be seen in the
developments to come during the next
few months -Barre Times

HOW CHILDREN GROW

Children grow by nourishment-not
overloaded stomachs or rich foods but
qualities that are readily converted into
DEMONSTRATING blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary foods which results
in weakness, dizziness and sickness.
If your children are undeT-size, under
weight, catch cold easily, are languid,
backward, pale or frail, give them Scott S
Emulsion whichis pure medicinal nourish-
ment. 1t sharpens the appetite, builds
healthy flesh, firm muscles and active
brains. SCOTS is growing food for
children. Refuse alcoholic substitutes.

THE VILLAGE SAGE.

Old Archibald Todd was the vii
lage sage.
You couldn't fool him on a wo-
mans age.
There wasn't a thing in the
whole broad land
That Archibald didn't under
stand.
And no man above or below the
sod
Ever knew so much as Archi-
bald Todd.
There wasn't a prize fight e'er
pulled off
That wasn't Il cinch for this old
toff.
He'd pick out a winner every
time
In an Offhand way that was
quite sublime.
The only thing that would spoil
his fun
Was the fact that the wrong
man always won.
The weather was ever his strong
forte;
He always "scooped" Uncle
Sans report.
When his left hind leg would ac-
quire a pain
He would prophesy good two
days rain.
By the words of wisdom from
Archie's mouth
The whole town knew there was
to be drouth.
Old Archibald lived long in the
land
And ruled the country with tire
less hand.
The old folks all listened to his
advice
For it was really beyond all
price.
For they were sure when advice
he'd spring
They could safely bank on the
opposite thing.

HARRISBURG SHOTS
RETURN FROM DAYTON
H. B. ShoOp Tells About One of the
Greatest Events of the Year;
Scores of Local Marksmen
By Hoban

Scores reported from the great
American handicap shoot at Dayton,
Ohio. showed a number of Harrisburg
shooters but made no reference to
them as winners. Local shooters re-
turned home last night much pleased
with the results. They got their share
of the money divisions.
one shot won the shoot for Wool
folk Henderson, of Lexington, Ky.
According to II. r. Shoop. one of the
harrisburg shots, Henderson is a won
derful marksman. Shoop said:
To the readers who are not ia
miliar with the magnitude and system
of q registered shoot a few words in
explanation will perhaps make 1T more
plain. All registered shoots through
out the United States are entirely con-
trolled by an association. called the
Interstate Association. All shooting
clubs registered in this association are
entltled to hold a shoot one day or
more throughout the year and all such
scores are made at a distance of six
teen yards from the traps.
AT the end of each year summary
is made and each shooters average
is determined, which percentage CON
trolls the distance to be shot at such
handicap shoots, as the grand Amerj :
can or lesser tournaments, and als y
fixes the percentage of each shooter
throughout the entire United States.
AT the grand American handicap
Just completed singular incidents crop
out. For instance. three of the Har-
risburg shooters happened to be in
one squad with two others. one from
Arkansas, the other from Glasboro,
N. j.. at nineteen yards distance. This
squad proved one of the most consist
ent squads at the meeting, averaging
93 per cent. for five men at 500
targets. The scores were:
Martin. 80; Williams, 90; James, 90;
Shoop, 90: Herrold, "a.
With sos entries. which were di-
vided into five sections of twenty
squads to each division. this necessi-
tated a waste of time between each
event of two hours and a half. This
was the greater detriment to good
scores"
