CatechiZing Mr.. PrOuty

The Management of the
Swanton Savings Bank

| Very few people who deposit
money in Savings Banks are suffi
GENTLY careful in scrutinizing the
character of the banks manag
ers. A bank is as strong as its
managers and no stronger That
bank is not necessarily the strong
est which has the largest assets.
The depositorin a SavingsB Bank
should always seek bank whose
managers are men OF integrity
temperance and high moral char
acter, men who have been sue
cessful in their own business at
fairs, and especially men who by
a long course of business life i'll
the community, have come to be
identified with it to such an ex-
tent that ordinary temptations
cannot swerve them from that
straight line of duty which they
owe to the public, as the custo-
dams OF the peoples savings.
We believe there is no bank in
Vermont whose directors, meas
ured by the above standard, rank
higher than those Of the Swanton
Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany. Let us analvze the board
critically and see what we find:
DR.. Clarence e. Allen, the Pres
ident, has for 80 years been a
resident of Swanton. Year by
year, as he has been able to save
money from his large practice as
a physician, he has invested his
surplus in the best business prop
critics i'll our village. He is one
of our largest property holders
and no man in Swanton is more
thoroughly identified with her
business interests than DR.. Allen.
1t would be difficult to find a
man whose natural tendencies
and business qualifications better
fitted him to safely invest the
peoples savings.
Hon. Milo w. Barney, the Vice
President, has been a lifelong
resident of Swanton. AS man.
ager Of the Barney Marble Com
pany, one of the largest manu-
featuring industries in our village
he knows the people of Swanton
thoroughly and they have i'm
plicit faith not only in his in
tegity and high moral character
but in those conservative tend
encies of mind which make him
prominently a safe man to handle
trust funds.
Hon. Carroll S. Page, one of
the Board of Directors, is so we'll
known to the people of Vermont
as safe bank manager that it |
would be almost a waste of
words to describe his business
characteristics. For more than
fifty years he has been perhaps |
more prominently known as a
safe, conservative and successful
business man than any other
citizen of Vermont.
Mr.. E. D. Herrick is the resi-
dent director for the town of
where his name is a
synonym for conservatism. He
has spent lifetime in Highgate
and as a safe, substantial cau-
tious business man he has no
in Franklin County.
Mr.. H. w. Marvin is the resi-
dent director at Alburgh and
looks after the banks interests
in Grand Isle County. No man
in the island county is better
known as a safe, conservative,
arefulinvestor than Mr.. Marvin.
The stockholders made no mis-
take in selecting him to look after
their interests in Grand Isle
County.
The COURIER submits this list
Of directors with no little pride.
1t believes they cannot be ex-
,elled by any board in Vermont;
they are not spectators +; they

The camera hunters get more real thrills
than those who go out with a gun.
They take more chances and, from the
boys point Of view, are better sports

Seek Arn1y-Worn1 Moths
With COlOred Wing

Look out for army-worm moths with
one artifically colored wing!'
This Injunction Is being spread broad
cast throughout the United States by
entomologists Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
1t is part Of a plot by the bug experts

determination.
All during the early summer the
army worm did widespread damage In
Washington and other Eastern cities.
OF evenings lately. You may have
noticed short thick-bodied moths, hover
ing about the lights or screens in your
home. They are generally triangular
in shape. These are army-worm moths.
Note them carefully hereafter, and II
one of them has a colored wing, tell
the Department of Agriculture about it.
Took for colored Wings.
Here is the notice being sent out by
the Department:
Everyone interested in the destruc-
ton of the army worm pest Is being
requested by the Department OF AGri-
culture to look out for arny-worm moths
with one artificially colored wing. The
departments entomologists are catching
army-worm moths where they are
plentiful. coloring one wing Of each, and
then liberating them in the same terri
tory. so that they may determine
whether these moths fly directly west,
or north, and how quickly and how far
they will spread. A better knowledge
Of the habits of this pest should enable
the department to control its spread.
No moths are to be let looSe where their
liberation could possibly add to the
natural damage.
"The moths already are showing them-
selves in Virginia and Maryland, and
the departments agents are catching
specimens at Portsmouth and Char.
lottesville. in Virginia, and Hagerstown,
in Maryland. The agents at Portsmouth
are applying q red stain to one wing Of
each specimen caught; those at Char
lottesville, q black or yellow stain, and
those at Hagerstown, q violet color.
Then the moths are left to follow the
natural course they would have pur.
sued.
Look for the army-worm moth with
q colored wing during the coming
month"; the departments Bureau Of
Entomology is advising its agents east
OF the Mississippi. Anyone observing
a marked specimen will aid In the cam

when outspread, measure about one and
a half inches from tip to tip. The
body is about half this length. The
general shape of the moth. with Its
wings outspread, Is triangular. The
moths will hover about the lights in
the evening. Ch farms they will be
found on the outside screens and doors
at night. They probably win not be
observed In the daytime. On dark, hot,
close nights, such as precede ttander-
storms, they probably will be especially
noticeable.
The army worm pest has caused con-
siderable damage to the crops and lawns
this summer throughout the northern
United States east Of the Mississippi.
The worms are only now disappearing
in northern Maine and Michigan, where
they probably were Matched from the
eggs of moths migrating from more
southern portions Of the country. With
the additional knowledge that this ex-
pertinent will give. the department
hopes to control the spread of the pest
more completely in coming years."
