Field Army More Liberal.

There is no doubt that the German
army in the field is a more liberal in
stitution than the German army in the
barracks. One reads almost daily of
men carrying their officers to the dress
ing station behind the trench or firing
line, and of officers who, after the fight
ing is over. make frantic effort to
succor their wounded men, Letters
which speak of officers dividing their
parcels from home with their men
have ceased to be a novelty
On the whole. 1t is a rare thing for a
German private to get the iron cross
of the second and first classes together
So far there are three cases; Infantrist
Maufer Silber of Querfurth, Reserve
Corporal Carl Frank of Sinsheim and
Infrantrist Henry Mueller of Geeste-
muende, the latter also earning promo
tion to sergeant.
Mueller serves with a machine CUR

work with such efficiency that within
a few moments he had killed and
wounded nearly all the men in two OF
the enemy's trenches.

BERLIN, November 6.-The German
army is very human institution just
now. The iron discipline of the bar
| racks and the caste spirit which di-
vides the officer from the rank and
file are not 80 much in evidence.
In one of the better restaurants Of
Berlin sat two officers of the line. The
worn look of the field gray uniform of
one showed that he had seen service.
| That the other had been at the front
was made clear by a bandage over his
head.
Following an animated recital the
officer in the worn uniform picked UP
bundle which had lain beside him OF

mouthorgans.

SOME NEW PLANTS.

This year the department Of agri-
culture has distributed in all some 20
600 packages of seeds OF new forage
plants and grains. chiefly feterita and
Sudan grass, which are particularly
suited to the semiarid conditions found
in the west and southwest. Nothwith-
standing the extreme drought OF last
year. these two and some other new
dry belt crops came to maturity and
furnished forage where practically all
other crops failed. Feterita is a grain
and forage sorghum similar to katiir
and milo. while the Sudan grass Is a
wild form Of sorghum somewhat
coarser than mlllet Among other new
crops. the seeds OF which were dis
tributed. were the Amraod and Ban
gala varieties OF field peas, also new
strains OF wheat. millet and Tepary

drought resistant and give much prom.

The Largest Bank in the
World.

The National City Bank OF New York
has a capital OF twenty-five million
Dollars, a Surplus OF more than Thir-
tyfour Million Collars and Deposits
Of Two Hundred forty.four Million
Dollars. Aside from Government
Banks there is probably nothing in
the way Of financial institutions in
the world that equals the National
City Bank.
This fact is no more interesting
than another which pertains almost
exclusively to Vermont. Vermont has
within her borders the largest bank
In the world in place Of its size.
The IittIe country village Of Hyde
Park--the home Of the LamoilIe coun-
ty Savings Bank & Trust co.-had de-
posits on the first day Of July last OF
Two Million, Six Hundred and Fifty
four Thousand, Two Hundred Seventy
Dollars and sixty-seven Cents.
The phenomenal growth Of this In
stitution has been the subject OF fav.
orable comment among bankers not
only in the Green Mountain State but
throughout the Country.
Ask any intelligent vermonter why
this phenomenal growth, and without
moments hesitation the reply will
come, because the people believe
that IT is an absolutely safe place in
which to put their savings" They
have watched the conservative meth
DDS Of its managers in making the
banks investments, and have come
to know that every dollar invested by
the Hyde Park Bank is loaned only
after the most careful scrutiny Of the
security offered therefor.
The very best and safest bank In
the world is none too safe, and none
too good for the man who wants TO
put his little all in a place where he
Is sure he can get Il when he calls

This bank pays 4 per cent and COM
pounds the interest semi-annualIy
without any action on the part Of the

Two Checks. The Police
Look for Him.

Forging the names, it is alleged,
of two former employers to two
checks, J. H. Miner secured the full
amount of each and left town Friday.
That evening, shortly after the for.
geries were discovered, the police sent
descriptions of Miner to the police
of nearby cities and the chances of
apprehending him are thought good
Miner cashed one check at the
Hotel Washington and another at the
California Wine House. Both were
for s24. The name of Mcbride &
Hamlin were signed to one and Peter
Ibsen to the other. Miner is black
smith by occupation and had worked
for both concerns.
He came here from Seattle in June
and has workeed here since A few
day ago Miner was XII. Led on the
leg by horse, and has since been
lame. His limp. 1t is expected, will
aid the police in picking him up
quickly. 1t is believed Miner let on
