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 Saw
ings Bank in the world in a country
village,
Now comes Bank Commissions
er Williams with another point of
Vermont Savings Banks superiority
He says that our state stands
at the head of all the states in the
Urion in the amount of deposits in
Savings Banks, per capita of popula-
tor.
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 a carefully conduct
ed, we'll managed Vermont Savings
Bank.
Practically five out of every eight
people in Vermont, counting every
man, woman and child, is a savings
Bank deposition.
Some fellow has tried to poke fun
at Vermont by saying that "she has
six months of winter and three
months of late in the fall"
So long as we can maintain our SUI
periority in matters Of thrift, we can
quietly smile while they poke fun at
aa.
The wise ones among these shout
ers knew coed thing when they
sec it and when they want the safest
Of all places in which to place their
money, they come to Vermont Saw
ings Bank.
The books of the Hyde Park Bank
show that it is the recipient of de-
pests from every state in the Onion.
Alaska, the Philippine Islands, the
Republics of Panama and Cuba,
China, India, Turkey, and the Cana
dian provinces from Quebec on the
east to Saskatchewan on the west al
so contribute by their deposits to
make the Hyde Park Bank the largest
bank in the world in country viii
LACE.
One thing that prompts the de-
pcsts from these far off countries
is the fact that it is now absolutely
safe to send money to the Hyde Park
Bank either by check, postal or cx-
press money oraer, or by registered
letter.
NOT a dollar sent to the Hyde Park
Eank by mail since it was organized
in 1889 has ever been lost.
SAFETY first, safety last and safety
all the time" has always been the
motto of the Hyde Park bank and it's
books are always open to the most
critical investigation by any deposit
to-,
Il does not own today, so far as the
closest scrutiny can determine, a
single dollar Of poor assets.
The Hyde Park Bank pays 4 per
cent, compounded semi-annualIN ana
Fays all taxes.
Full Information upon any point
connected either with the Banks as
sets or its management will be cheer
fully furnished to anyone addressing
its President, Carroll s. Page or it's
yTreasurer, r. M. Culver.

night
Two hours later Bachand had oc-
casion to 90 out of doors and as he
did so he received blow on the

communities can do as much to alter
these conditions as it can to increase
the average cash income. The com
mittees that have these matters in
charge should, therefore, be regarded
as quite as important as those which
deal with business questions, and they
should receive the same support from
the entire community which they are
endeavoring to benefit. The result
will be a community spirit which, in
its way, is capable of producing as
results as the national spirit.
In fact, says the article, in closing:
Patriotism, like charity, begins at
home-that is, in the neighborhood.'

tains brief list of suggested read

of these are government publications

of Rural Communities.

ORGANIZATION of Rural Communities.
Washington, March 3--A scheme for
the organization of rural communi-
es for both business and social pur-
oses is worked out in an article which
to appear in the forthcoming Year
oek of the Department of Agricul-
ure, and which has already been
inted as a pamphlet for the use of
departments Office of Markets
Rural Organization. = =.
The scheme calls for ten commit
,ees, five of which are to deal with
BUSINESS needs and five with social
needs. Every member Of the organiza-
tion is to serve on sene one pf.rthese
committees. In addition there is
to be central or executive committee,
composed of the president of the or
ganization, its secretary. its treas
urer and the 'chairmen Of the ten
other committees. This central body
is to direct the general policy Of the
organization, raise al, funds and con-
trol their expenditure. The commit
tees that are to deal with the business
interests of the community are as fol-
lows:
/ Committee on farm production.
Committee on marketing.
Committee On securing farm sup
plies.
4 Committee on farm finance and
accounting.
Committee on, communication and
transportation. h-Ss1 ~ is
Similarly, the five committees that
attend to the commGhity's social in
terests will deal with:
/ Education. ii
2Sanitation. .asE5z '44gff
3FRecreation.
Identification. a.e s5.,.s q, ..--,
5 Household economics. 4 : 4f
The work of mostfof these commit
tees is indicated sufficiently clearly
by their titles. For example, the
committee on production can do much
good by improving the breeds of live
stock in a community through coop
erative purchases of bure bred males.
It can encourage the formation of
corn. poultry. pigs CATTLE canning. and,
gardening clubs which have already
demonstrated their value. in the sec
tions where they have been estab-
lished; and it can carry on useful stud
les of the type of agriculture best
fitted to local conditions. g. &,
In the same way, the COMMITTEES on
marketing can secure thesstaadardiza-
'ion of the community's products and
thus obtain better prices than are pos
sihle when nondescript goods are
dumped upon the market. The COM
mittee can also search out the best
markets. make contracts on a large
scale which will be more favorable
than any individual can secure for
himself, and in many other ways econ
.en,ize m She selling Of the ccrnran-
ity's goods. Even If cooperative mar
l<eting is not actually resorted to, the
Information which the committee col
lects can hardly fail to be OF great
assistance TO the individual shippers.
Just as the committee on marketing
can facilitate selling, the committee
On farm supplies can economize in buy
ing. Farmers are warned, however,

summarized his case.
"a feature of the case, he said (which
throughout perusal of the record strikes
one with irresistible force is that if
every reference to Becker were eliminated
the crime of murder would be in every
respect complete. Becker is not essential
to its inception. its progress, or its con-
summation. The offense Is complete in
every detail without him Proof of his
participation is i'm no sense an essential
element. but the evidence discriminating
him is superimposed upon an already
complete structure.

wanted Becker, and that it was not long
before he saw that these scoundrels were
willing To give him Becker, provided only
they received proper compensation and
facilities for arranging their stories.'

SPRING BRINGS NEW

Fish Begins to Fall in Prices,
While Early Vegetables
Make Their Debut.

The advent of spring and the arrival OF
early vegetables to the markets Is making
the latter very attractive to the house
wife The approach of the close of the
Lcnten season is reflected in the down
ward trend OF fish prices and corre-
spending rise in meats. shad is stilf high,
but the more common fish, such as sal
mon, haibut. founders and smelts, are
very reasonable.
Peppers, egg plants, string beans and
red cabbages are still very scarce and
the prices are correspondngly high "A
feature of the vegetable market Is the
appearance of new potatoes. They are
selling for 20 cents a quarter peck. To-
matoes are becoming more plentiful,
while the price OF fruit remains sta
tionary.
Beef has gone up an average OF from
to cents "A pound on stewing meat, ribs
and sirloins. Round and rump steaks

has remained at the same figures while
fowls have advanced from ? to cents
