HOW ABOUT 1T?

If you knew you were going to die to-
night,
How would you spend today?
Would you endeavor some wrongs to
right,
Or waste it in idle play?
Would you foolishly murmur, and
fret, and frown?
Would you look on the world with
lustful eye?
With a cap and bells would you play
the clown?
Would you eat and drink till the
end drew nigh?
Would you hoard your wealth like a
miser, cold?
Would you lie and cheat, in your
greed for gain?
Would you sell your soul for a piece
of gold?
Would you scorn the poor in their
want and pain?
Would you slander some brother,
whose upright life
Had won him place in the halls of
fame?
Would you gossip and tattle and stir
up strife?
Would you filch from your neighbor
his honest name?
Would you gamble and brawl, and
curse and fight
Consider and earnestly pray;
If you knew you were going to die to-
night,
How would you mend today?
j. Frederick Bishop.

BlOtS on the Landscape
(Rutland News. J


The practice among retail merchants
of using signs along highways seems to
be decreasing. They appear to realize
that there is lot of feeling against this
sort of advertising, and that merchant
makes himself unpopular by using it.
The same is doubly true of the residence
districts. A merchant could lower real
estate values 25 per cent in any locality
merely by erecting few ugly billboards.
Similarly, the removal of billboards will
turn an unpleasant neighborhood into
homelike residence section. The coun.
tryside along IA rail way line is defaced
by these signs. The traveller looks at it as
uninterestng region without local pride
or appreciation of its own advantages
Oranges, boards of trade, business mems
associations, and the like, could we'll try
to start national movement to get rid
of dsfacing billbeards.

although smaller types are made. The
entire floor of the Howe Scale company's
new building, 100 40 it., will be de-
voted to the new department. The force
of employees will be increased substan-
TALLY.
Ex-Gov. John A. Mead, President of
the Howe Scale company, does not be-
lieve the booms incident to war orders
are healthy for an industry. Hesaid 1.-THE
general business of the Howe Scale COM
pany is good and the volume is much
greater than year ago. We have tried
to push our regular lines and have not
sought orders for articles foreign to the
scale business, believing that any boom
which might result from manufacture of
war material would be more than over
balanced by the slump which is bound to
come at the close of the conflict in Europe"

and inspired me far more than you think
and am stronger and better Christian
man and pastor for having known you all

mer.
The last evening we spent together was
one of the happiest in my young life
How did appreciate all the preparation,
the decorations, the cooperation of the
"Wiling Workers. and "Young Ameli-
cans" with Mr.. Frank Chaffee in learning
and rendering SO well his latest song,
which was such deep tribute to the
delighted student pastor who heard it
The program was fine and each num-

1t is a notable fact that Yer
mont has the largest savings
bank in any country village in
the world. The village Of Hyde
Park, which the last census shows
to have a population of 1923, en-
joys the unique distinction Of be-
ing the home of a savings bank
having, July 1, 1915, assets OF
/ $2,915.660.54.
So long as the Hyde Park Bank
is conducted along those lines OF
absolute safety which have char
acterized it's management since
it's organization in 1889, so long
may we expect to see that bank
maintain a healthy and sub
stantial growth because YER
monters will take justifable pride
in maintaining this pre-eminence
of Vermont in the banking world
by making it their depositary.
The Hyde Park Bank will pay
depositors all that it believes it
can pay consistent with absolute
safety. 1t does not try to in
crease it's rate to depositors by
investing in localities which
will pay 7 per cent or 8 per cent,
and even more, becauseit believes
that high rates ofinterest usually
mean questionable strength and
doubtful security.
The Hyde Park Bank pays 4
per cent compounded semi-annu-
ally and pays all taxes.
1t is perfectly safe to send
money to this bank by mail, a
fact proven by its experience
since it's organization, for not
dollar sent to this bank by mail
has ever been lost.
Remittances can safely be made
by personal or bank check, postal
or express money order and by
registered letter.
The Hyde Park Bank cordially
invites every Vermonter to write,
or better still, to call upon its
President, Carroll S. Page or its
Treasurer, F. M. Culver and per-
sonally investigate the banks
painstaking method of securing
absolute safety forall depositors.
