both rods and steel blades to the shop
and have four holes punched in each
blade. Then have four more holes
punched in the rods to fit twenty pen
ny nails, but have them on the other
side, so you can bolt the blades to the
rods and then the rods to the roller. To
make the shafts, take the crosspiece
out Of some old wagon shafts and cut
same number in each rod, so the holes
in the rods will fit those in the blades.
Get two iron rods about a foot long
and large enough to go through the
hole in the end of the shafts. Drive
into the roller, fastening the shafts to
the roller, and by the time the rod has
been driven in eight inches it will be
abraded enough to stay i'm and hold the
shafts solid. For a seat use a . by 4
crosspiece on the shafts at the crook.
Behind the crosspiece or singletree bolt
another piece of 2 by 4 about three feet
long. Let this reach back over the
roller and to it nail your seat. You can
sit on the seat and brace your feet
against the crosspiece to which It is
bolted.

Tribute to Mrs. J. r. Hill

Mrs. John R. Hill daughter of Mr.. ane
Mrs. Truman Sawyer, was born in Morris
town, VT, June 6. 1858, and was one O.
six children, four of whom are now living
In January, 1875 she united in marriage
with Mr.. John R. Hill of Johnson. Three
children were given to bless the home
Mrs. j. B. Kidder, Swanton, VT, Morris
S. Hill, johnson, VT, and Mrs. Arthur
Rockwell, Proctor, Vt. She has been
out of health for several years, and since
last October she has been in the Sher-
wood Sanatorium, St, Adams, VT, where
she died, April ~, 1915. The funeral
was held in her home church, johnson,
April Is, at which her pastor, Rev. F. W.
Hazen. officiated.
These are the main facts of her life
yet they express but little of the real life
of Mrs. Hill. If life is TO be measured by
unselfish service for others then Mrs. ELL
was true to that standard, In the home,
the church, and the community she was
always the same unselfish servant, COM
paDion, or friend. In the community she
did much to help its life as when she
served on the building committee of the
Public Library. In the Church her work
was OF the greatest helpfulness, espec-
tally in the Sunday School, where she
was in charge of the Primary Department
TO. about twenty five years. Her deep
love for children, and her faithful prep
aration for her work made her a teacher
of rare influence and skill. Again and
again during the nine and one half years
that was her pastor she made me think
of Him who took little child and set
him in the midst and said "of such is the
kingdom of God" She taught by example
as well as by word and what higher praise
can be given than that?
In the home she was wife and mother
of high ideals, truest faithfulness, and
deep devotion to all that was best and
noblest in home life. She never lost that
which makes wife and mother truly
great, her fine Christian patience, and
her intelligent sympathy and companion
ship with her children. She gave her
life to her home and family and Church.
We can say of her as one of old said,
ga worthy woman who can find? For
her price is far above rubies. The heart
of her husband trusteth in her, and he
shall have no lack of gain. She doeth
him good and not evil all the days of her
life. She looketh we'll to the ways of her
household, and eateth not the bread of
idleness. Her children rise up and call
her blessed; her husband also, and he
praiseth her., Grace is deceitful, and
beauty is vain; but woman that feareth
the Lord, she shall be praised"
Mrs. Hill was queenly Christian, and !
we do not expect others to take her place,
because she inspired others to fill their !
own place in life, and that is better.

The Phenomenal Growth of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank

Hyde Park Savings Bank
The fact that the Hyde Park
Savings Bank is the largest bank
in any country village in the
world has come to be the subject
of much comment on the part OF
bank managers. not only in Yer
mont, but in many of the other
states of the Union.
"Can it be true?" and if so,
chow can it be accounted for?"
are the questions most often
raised by those most interested
in Savings Banks.
AS to the first question-"Can
it be true?"-the best answer per-
haps is a statement taken from
the official records which disclose
that the. number of depositors
and the amount of deposits by
five year periods since the organ
ization of the bank in 1889 are
as follows:-
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1915-04-28

| j une oO, 1914 OoOO 1904, UUU
The second query suggested, to
wit: "How can the phenomenal
growth of the Hyde Park Bank,
as shown by the above statement,
be accounted for?" is really a very
simple matter. Here is the ex-
planation:
Savings Bank depositors in the
aggregate are very shrewd and
as class are an extremely criti-
cal body of men. They insist
that the safest bank is none too
safe for them, and having reached
a conclusion in their own minds
as to which is the safest, they
place their money there.
CONFIDENCE is a plant of
slow growth. For the first five
years of its existence the HYDE
Park Savings Bank grew less
than 100000 but during the
last five years it grew consider
ably more than a million dollars,
as the above table shows.
The managers of the Hyde
Park Bank quite naturally take
great pride in the position which
the bank occupies among the
banks of the world and it feels
quite justified in soliciting the de-
posts of those Vermonters who |
would like to perpetuate this
unique distinction now enjoyed
by Vermont.
Banking by mail is now re-
garded as absolutely safe and de-
positors anywhere can send
money to this bank either by per-
sonal or bank check, postal or
express money order, registered
letter or express without the
