That the Hyde Park bank

That the Hyde Park bank
would like to maintain this hon.
orable distinction goes without
saying, and that this unique
place which Vermont holds in the
banking world may continue,
will, we are certain, be the hope
of Vermonters everywhere.
The managers of the Hyde
Park bank would therefore pleas
antly urge upon Vermonters who
are not partial to any particular
bank, that they give their prefer
ence, when making deposits, to
the Hyde Park bank, which will
continue in future as in the past
to conduct its affairs along those
safe lines Of investment which
has made the bank so successful,
so safe and SO popular in the
past. The bank pays 4 per cent
interest and pays all taxes.
1t is entirely safe to send mon
ey to this bank by mail either in
personal or bank check, postal
or express money order, Or by
registered letter. In it's 26 years
of existence not a dollar sent to
this bank has ever been lost.
If any information about the
bank is desired, write the Presi-
dent, Carroll S. Page, or the
Treasurer, F. M. Culver, Hyde
Park, and you will get a prompt
answer.

Sec'y Tumulty Of the White House
coterie declares that the big Republican
Landslide in Chicago last week was of no
national political significance. So? Well.
if the Democrats are undisturbed by this
Republican clean sweep. the Republicans
at least have no cause for complaint.
Probably it does not mean anything, ex-
cept that there are a good many more
persons in Chicago voting the Republ-
can ticket than ever before, and good
many less Democrats voting that ticket.
1t is significant, however, that most of
the women supported the Republican
ticket and that practically all of the Pro-
gressives returned to the old faith. This
is, of course, only straw; an isolated
exhibition of public sentiment, but if the
Democratic candidate had swamped the
Republican ticket would it not have
been hailed as sure enough endorse
ment of the Wilson administration.

Over the River
BY JAMES BUCKHAM

Over the river see the lights
That shine from many a happy home,
They twinkle upon the serraced heights,
Like the stars in heavens jewelled dome
Methinks see through the open door,
The children's faces fresh and fair.
The freight dancing across the floor.
And leaping into the outer air.
O happy Thames! and yet not all,
Alas, not all! for some there be,
Where the lamplight ana the freight fall
On angel faces, l cannot see.
0 happy hearts, and hearts that ache!
0 homes! o lights across the rive,
Our God doth give, our God doth take -
Shall we not trnst his love forever?

VERMONT SAVINGS BANKS
Their Growth and Safety.

Their Growth and Safety.
| Everybody who uses savings
bank as a place where his or he1
little savings may be deposited
always has one thought upper.
most in mind, namely: In which
of the many banks will my de-
post be most likely to be abso-
lutely safe?
No one thinks of any Vermont
bank as otherwise than safe, but
somehow or other there are ear
marks tending to show that the
depositing public has a discrimi-
mating mind. The very safest
bank is none toe safe for the per-
son who is laying away his hard
earned savings against a rainy
day. He may have hard lack
and need what he has placed in
the bank and so he weighs with
the greatest care all the evidence
tending to aid him in selecting
the safest of the safe banks.
He studies very carefully the
characteristics Of the managers
OF the different banks and isn't
entirely satisfied unless he can
ascertain positively as to the
success of those managers in their
own private business affairs.
He wants to know that their
habits are irreproachable that
they never speculate in their own
business-indeed have none Of the
gambling instinct, else they may
possibly be tempted by highrates
of interest to manage the banks
funds rather with reference to
large interest returns than to alb
solute safety of principal.
Now, if the above reasoning is
correct, it is fair to conclude that
a bank which so far stands the
tests of public scrutiny that its
deposits are the largest in the
world in country village must
up very high in the
minds of those who save their
earnings and deposit them in
savings banks.
Practically every Vermonter
not only knows, but takes jus
tifiable pride in the fact, that
Vermont has that bank and that
it is located in the village of
Hvde Park.
