Growth of Vei mont Savings

There is no matter with refer
enee to which the people Of Yer
mont have greater right TO feel q
sincere pride than in her Saving:
Banks.
She stands first in granite; FIRST
in marble and barring pennsyl,
vania. she produces more slate
than all the other states OF the
Union combined.
She leads in scales; she pro.
duces the best maple sugar in the
world.
Size considered, she leads the
country in dairy products, and
small as she is, she ranks 10th in
the United States in this line OF
farming, only the larger and
more important states leading
her.
The thrift of her people is one
OF the things about which we
have right TO feel especial pride
Here are the figures showing the
gain in her Savings Banks de
posts for the past 90 years;
Note that the annual increase
for the past ten years has been
approximately Four million dol
lars while the average for the
fifty years prior to 1905 was less
than One Million dollars.

A GREATER AMERICA
DEMANDS GREATER MEN

By the events of this vast war, the
United States has been pushed for
ward to a dazzling eminence among
the nations. 1t has become the finan.
cial center of the world, as well as the
center of food supplies, of oil, of cot
ton, of tobacco, and of manufactured
articles of many kinds. From being
a debtor nation it has become a cred
itor nation. II has become courted by
the nations for its moral and senti-
mental support. And in many ways
as yet unseen, it is coming to the
front Europe's artistic production,
for example, has been stifed by the
war, but Americas aesthetic develop
ment goes on steadily. The resul.
will be apparent in a diminished de-
pendence upon Europe. Our country,
rock Of refuge in worldwide sea
Of flame and death, is now place of
pilgrimage for the Intellectual classes
of Europe and Asia.
The promotion Of our country TO a
position relatively so much higher
than 1t has ever held before should be
matched by the development Of a po-
litical capacity and consciousness
equal to the new requirement. We
cannot escape the consequences Of this
great enlargemnt Of our national i'm
portance. Raised to SO great an emf
nence by fate, we must behave great

such a contingency. Washington him

The approaching presidential cleo
ton is of much greater consequence
than any that we have had since the
country was first threatened with
financial rottenness and ruin in the
rise Of Organism. Our danger is no
longer soft money, but soft and
splneless leadership. we are threat
ened with continuance Of the role of
pettiness and empiricism where clear
views, original thinking and consis-
tent purposes should prevail. We
have had at the White House, during
the past two years and half, little
but cropping and guessing. President
Wilson has not always gone wrong,
but it is not too much to say that when
he has gone right he has not led the
country, but has been led by the
country. When, in an emergency,
people have looked to him for an in
slant and original exercise of political
sagacity, he has been found wanting. |,
Of this we must have the end. The
White House must measure up to

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 population Of
423, enjoys the unique distinction
OF being the home of a savings
bank having, July I, 1915, assets
of 81, 9I5,66o. 54.
So long as the Hyde Park Bank
is conducted along those lines OF
absolute safety which have char
acterized its management since
its organization in 1889, so long
may we expect to see that bank
maintain a healthy and substan-
tial growth because Vermonters
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 increase
its rate to depositors by investing
in localities which will pay 7 per
cent or s per cent, and even more,

CHILDREN'S EYES AND GLASSES

The eye is the organ that gives us
the sense of sight, and makes it pos
sible for us to enjoy the beautiful.
Without it man is placed at great
disadvantage; and yet many men who
would leave no stone unturned to save
the eyes of a horse will let their chill
dren go through childhood or possibly
through life, with diseased or deform-
ed eyes and do little or nothing for
them. They could barter the horse
for more dollars if the eyes were per-
feet, but they can not see far enough
into the future to realize that the child
would have greater earning power
when grown if his or her eyes were
perfect, or as near perfect as possible.
Children should not be allowed to
enter school before six years of age,
nor should the child be allowed to look
much at pictures, blocks or anything
requiring close vision for long at a
time, as fusion of the vision does not
take place until about the age of six,
and for that reason children of four or
five years of age should not be sent to
the kindergarten, as close application
of the eyes at this age causes more
near-sighted people than any other
factor. Children are apt to form the
habit Of holding their books close to
the eyes while studying; this causes
a strain of the muscles of the eyes
both within and on the outside of
the eyeball, which is another cause for
near sightedness and is cause of
cross-eyes.
We often have astigmatism in chill
dren, and in order to see, they must
hold the book close, and squirt the
eyelids; another cause for cross-eyes.
We occasionally see a child that is ex-
ceedingly far-sighted, and who to see
properly, requires tense even strong
er than does the average person at go
years Of age.
Poor vision often accounts for the
nervous condition so often found in
children, headaches and so-called
growing pains. Errors in vision very
cause cross-eyes and if
child begins to show symptoms of
no matter how young, the
eyes should be properly tested, and If
necessary treated, as such conditions
usually increase, and after they have
reached the stage where one eye only |
Is used the other eye loses its vision /
% a greater or less degree.
II child needs glasses they should
,e worn, but cheap stores and peddlers
should be avoided. Reputable eye
SPECIALISTS should be consulted, for
here are many children and young
versions wearing glasses to-day who
10 not need them, and many are
wearing incorrect and injurious
