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

|
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 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-
err 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 we'll.
The old Lamoille County Ma
tional Bank at Hyde Park COM
menced its sixtieth year of bust
ness May Fl, 1914. tits staunch,
reliable, accommodating and for
more than twenty-five years has
never said mo" to any customer
asking for accommodation and
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
account" A transfer can be made
from one OF these accounts to the
other at any time, as may suit
the convenience and necessity of
y our business.
Call at the bank and Cashier
Noyes will explain to you all
about the wav t. open and keep
a checking account, and will give
YOU the necessary blank checks,
deposit slips, etc, to enable you
TO commence business.

The Londonderry Sitter comes out very
strong for Porter Dale of Island Pond for
Congressman to succeed Frank Plumley.
The strongest claim the Sitter makes for
Dale is that Essex county has never had
a representative in Congress. The Brat
tleboro Reformer does not fall in with
the Sifter's sugges ton; it has no affec-
ton or support for Dale and says:
I'm our humble opinion Essex county
never should be represented in Congress
until it can produce stronger candidate
than Dale"
Both the Sitter and the Reformer are
Windham county journals and it would
appear from the above that the news
papers OF that county cannot agree on
Dale. Better "bury the Ratchet" by unit
ing on Walter w. Husband.

why WEAK LUNGS?

The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick
ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender threats
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thou
sands of people take Scott S Emulsion after
meals because its rich medicinal nourish-
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in

tuberculosis. SCOTS Emulsion is nature 8

Whatever ones political views and

tary of State Frederick G Fleetwood to

the people of his home town and county.
While we are told that prophet is not

Mr.. Fleetwood seems to be the exception
to this rule, for one hears in these DAYS of
his gubernatorial candidacy nothing but
good concerning the man so far as his
townsmen and long time acquaintance
are concerned.

A Good Suggestion

understanding that his State voted
strongly for "direct primalics,' there are
many States that have tried it that are
sick Of it and want to get out it. Here is
a bit of advice from the neighboring state
of New Hampshire. The Lebanon, N H.,
Free Press, says
Every blessed ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
Democrat or Republican-is clamoring
for an extra session of the Legislature,
just for a primary law. The Connecticut
river isn't so very wide, either, and a
glance across it would show a primary
law in operation, not drawing larger
vote than the old caucuses, producing a
new crop of bosses, discouraging all but
the rich from running for office, and cost
ing the people ten times as much as
good caucus system. Brother Vermonter:
Enact law compelling all parties to
hold all their caucuses on the same day
and prohibiting proxies altogether, and
you will have the rest of the country
beaten out of sight with safe. sane,
reasonable, practical, wholesome and
inexpensive nominating system, under
which anybody who wants to can run
for office and under which any community
can eliminate all bosses by attending the
caucuses.

publican. When MIR. Prouty's name was
first suggested in connection with this
office, he said he would run ONLY as Re-
publican. Now he fepudiates the Repub
lican party and seeks the high Office at
other hands. Mr.. Prouty has been out

SIGNATURE OF
THE GOVERNOR
ALI That is Needed to Abolish
Montgomery County Fiscal
Court.

As heretofore announced in
the Advocate, the House adopted
by a unanimous vote of 65 to o,
the Judy bill (being House bill
No. 4o4) giving to Montgomery
county the commission plan of
government and Saturday the
Senate, by a unanimous vote of
~ to o, adopted the bill as passed
by the House, so that nothing
but the signature of Gov. James
B .McCreary is needed to make
lit become effective. This, of
course, he will affix, as quickly
as the bill reaches him.
Under it, three Commissioners
will be elected by the voters of
the entire county in the fall of
1915 and they will take office on
the first Monday in January,
1916, which is two years earlier
than under the present law.
Without the Judy bill, we could
not have had Commissioners un-
til the first Monday in January
1918. The county will be divid-
ed into three districts, so that
each portion of the county will
be represented, but the voters OF
the entire county elect.
One of its best provisions
namely, the non-partisan feature
we regret to say, met with such
determined opposition, that rath-
er than have no relief at all, il
was deemed wise to omit same
but the bill adopted, while not
what we had hoped for, is a big
step in the right direction anC
we expect to see the law amend
ed at the next session so as tC
place the commissioners on /;
non-partisan basis. Politics
should have no place in the hand
ling of our financial affairs.
To Senator J. Will Clay anC
Representative John A. Judy, the
voters of Montgomery county
are indebted for their earnest eff
forts to carry into effect the wish
es of the people, as expressed las
fall, when this change was de
termined upon and to Lieutenan
Governor Edward ]. McDermott
who assisted in securing an early
hearing on the measure in the
Senate we extend sincere thank,
upon behalf of our people.
