ANOTHER SAVINGS BANK
RECORD BREAKER FOR
VERMONT

We have before spoken in these
columns of the fact that Vermont
enjoyed the unique distinction of
having at Hyde Park the largest
Savings Bank in the world in a
country village.
Now comes Bank Commissioner
Williams with another point of
Vermont Savings Banks superb
ority.
He says that our state stands at
the head of all the states in the
Union in the amount of deposits in
Savings Banks, per capita of popu-
lation.
What does this mean, and why
this preference shown to Vermont
banks in general and to the Hyde
Park Bank in particular?
There can be but one answer,
and that IS, that the people OF Yer
mont have come to believe that
there is no place in the world so
safe to place their little savings,
against a rainy day, as in careful
ly conducted, we'll managed Yer
mont Savings Bank.
Practically five out of every eight
people in Vermont, counting every
man, woman and child, is a Savings
Bank depositor.
Some fellow has tried to poke fun
at Vemont by saying that "she has
six months of winter and three
months of late in the fall"
So long as we can maintain our
superiority in matters of thrift, we
can quietly smile while they poke
fun at US.
The wise one among these shout
ers know good thing when they
see it and when they want the SAT-

Hardness to herself as she put
the seasoning into the rich
mince pies she was making.
There was One-she held an old fash
Toned green edged scalloped plate in
her hand and looked at it thoughtful
Yves, there was just meat enough
for one more pie. She would sprinkle

stoned, and a Glove stuck in each one,
and she would put little butter in
just a little, lest it might not be rich
enough-and about a spoonful Of
brown sugar, to make it extra sweet
and dark, and then she would save it
she knew for what. It was only that
perhaps John Prouty would come
around on Thanksgiving evening.
John was always fond Of mince pies,
as she remembered perfectly well, and
now his mother was dead, and he was
living at Uncle James, and Aunt
James Prouty had rheumatism, and
altogether there was not much pros
pect for John to have any Thanksgiv-

And so Thanksgiving day came, and
there were uncles and cousins and
friends Of all parties by dozens and
dozens gathered beneath Farmer Hank

gray twilight, as Ruth fitted back and
forward, always intent ON some busy
mission, she was watching down the
lane for John. She would know his

had been cuddled in the palm of your
hand as you measured them out, and
the pie was as sweet as though you
had stirred the mince with your finger

Ruth was laughing and blushing at
his foolish words, and he, enjoying her
confusion, put up one hand and drew
her head down on his shoulder.
II don't know what you mean," she
said presently. II haven't turned cook

NO." he interrupted her; 81 forgot
that you didn't know where had

a colt tonight, and they thought his
leg was broken. His sister came across
lots for me to go down there and see
what / could do for him. We didn't
like to stop at your house for help,
because you had SO much company, so
we went and got Ma'am Jefferson and
took her over with us. We made the
boy as comfortable as we could, and
she said no bones were broken. So
then I went home with her, and there
was the fire your care had frightened,
and the tea and the pie"
The girls heart was beating very
fast as John said, "My Thanksgiving

promise to be my wife,"
After they were married she told him
that the pie had been made on pur-
pose for him.

! Slaton urged that the method OF
assessing property for taxation be re.
vised. His political associates advised
against any proceeding that would
/ change matters. pointing out that
some years ago a Governor had advo-
Gated and put through a somewhat
similar measure and that subsequently
, the Governor, seeking rejection, had
been Overwhelmingly defeated and the
law revoked.
Never mind" said Slaton. "If the
people do not want me they do not
have to have me. This thing Is right
and I'm for it, This Is what the State
needs, and II ! can accomplish It this
Is what the State is going to have, no
matter what happens to me-"
He staked the fortunes Of his ad-
ministrat!on upon the measure and IL
was enacted. The tax equalization
law was passed and during the first
year OF its operation values aggre-
eating sS5.O0O,000, a large proportion
or which had never paid taxes, were
added to the tax levy. thus clearing
up the States fiscal difficulties. This,
with other reforms he instituted, re-
duced the tax rate 10 per cent and
everybody In Georgia is now satisfied
that the right course was pursued.
There has been some prejudice
against Mr.. Slaton because he was not
what is called in Georgia "a wool hat
Governor" by which is meant a man
from the agricultural districts. 1t Is
tradition in that State that no man
shall he elected to the highest office
