company had received immense orders

All that is necessary to do to

check will be sent you for the
amount you have deposited with
two per cent interest.
Club members appreciate the
attention which the Hyde Park

connection with the handling of
these deposits by mail. Every
possible courtesy, convenience
and assistance is extended to
them and in many ways they
are made to realize that the
Bank is interested in their wei
fare. For small deposits postage
stamps are accepted the same as
cash. Personal checks, money
orders, or currency by regis tered
mail are convenient and abso-
utely safe forms of remittance
for larger sums.
A post card sent to the Bank

OBITUARY
Louis E. Thompson

Louis K. Thompson, whose death was
announced in the News and Citizen last
week. was the last son of Mr.. and Mrs. L.
o. Thompson. He spent the whole of
his short life of II years, s months and 10
days in Exeter, N. H., and he left us on
| December 8 for "That undiscovered
country from whose bourne no traveller
returns to tell us that which we know
not Of" Heart trouble caused his death.
He is survived by his father, mother
! and four sisters. Little Louis Joined the
Boy Scouts short time before he was
taken sick, and he enjoyed them very
much. They sent him flowers and other
things when he was sick and he enjoyed
these little tokens of love and friendship
from his little comrades SO much. His
first experience in Sabbath School was at
West End Hall, when he was only three
years old, and he never wanted to miss a
Sunday there during his whole life. That
little mission has done great good in
this town to those who have attended,
more than is known by any one individ-
ual. Louis mind was very clear and he
knew us all up to the last moment. AL
though great sufferer, he was sweet
and patient, smiling many times during
his suffering.
Louis was converted ar Hedding camp
ground. August, 1913, and his name was
enrolled in the Methodist church book
at Exeter. He was always very punctual
at The Sabbath School at tue Methodist
church, which he always enjoyed.
Louis great-grandfather was deacon
in the first brick church built in north
ern Vermont, in the pioneer days, over
100 years ago, and he contributed largely
to the building of the church-but little
Louis is the only Thompson who has his
name in a church book of all of his
reat-great-grndfather' descendants, so
far as the writer has learned from their
history in the family book, and there
were great many large families of boys
among them. But they include Thomp-
son, the author of the Screen Mountain
Boys", a Judge of the Supreme Court,
Senators, Representatives lawyers, mer-
chants, farmers, manufacturers, and men
in good many walks of life, but no min
sters. But of all the numerous descend
ants of Louis great-grandfather, there
ire only three boys left to keep up the
amily name. 1t is almost an extinct
ace.
1t is with heartfelt thanks we appreci-
tie the love and esteem of Louis friends
hown by their beautiful floral tributes
# mounds, pillows, wreaths, baskets,
nd sprays, and also by their help and
during his sickness. He will
70 greatly missed, especially by those
Vho knew and loved him best.-Mr. and

A SAVING TO TAXPAYERS.

A SAVING TO TAXPAYERS.
1t is stated that the taxpayers of
Polk county, Iowa, in which Des
| Moines is located, will save $4,000
| by the closing Of saloons. "Since the
many thirst parlors have closed their
doors and paid Off their help the
courts have taken semivacation,"
says the Des Moines Capital. Inc
briate and insane asylums have TAX en-
down the Standing Room Only signs
and report that business is falling off
something fierce The levy for the
state institution fund has been re-
duced for the first time in the history
Of Polk county. Last year the levy
was 1 mill. Now it is 8 mills, a differ
ence of 2 mills. The levy for court
expense has been reduced 3 mills.
Last years figure was mills. This
year it is 2.7 mills. The net reduc-
ton for the two funds amounts to half
a mill or $4,000.
County officials explain the reduc-
ton in the court expense levy by the
fact that dry conditions have greatly
reduced the number of cases. When
the saloons were running on all six
cylinders, big percentage of cases
were of the intoxication variety. With
the saloons running full blast, the
county derived revenue of $4,000.
Taxpayers are now saving $4,000
