SAFETY FIRST-AND LAST

The Central Savings Bank & Trust
company of Orleans, VT, has always
practiced the only bank policy which
insures safety first, last and always
for depositors. 1t is a policy which
demands that every investment out
side the routine affairs of the bank
shall be based upon the collective
judgment of its. board of directors,
consisting of seven prudent successful
men.
The safety of bank does not depend
upon the amount of deposits nor upon
the amount of surplus and profits
appearing in the annual statement
Immense deposits and large surplus
and profits, offer no security to a
depositor unles the combined assets of
the bank are we'll invested.
The Central Bank takes pride in the
amount of it's deposits and its steady
accumulation of surplus and profits
but its appeal to the depositor is based
entirely upon it's safety first policy of
having a board of directors who in
fact direct. Its funds are not at the
disposal of the whjms, likes or dislikes
! of any one man. We aspire to still
higher place in the esteem of the
banking public as our policy of safety
first, last and always becomes more
thoroughly understood.

Vermont Sugar Makers Should Meet
the Demands of the. Market.

While an increasingly large part of
Vermont maple products is marketed
as syrup and caked sugar, more than
one-half the crop is probably still
marketed as tub sugar. When such
sugar is cooked at lower tempera-
ture than 240 degrees F.. syrup will
separate from the sugar and fermen
tation will take place in warm wealth
err, While there may be a limited
market for small quantity of soft
sugar early in the season for immedi-
ate consumption, yet the great bulk of
Vermont maple sugar should be cooked
hard enough to stand transportation to
long distances and to keep without
shrinkage for long time. Dealers in
Vermont sugar agree that because our
sugar makers are not cooking their
sugar hard enoughlWe are losing the
trade of many eastern and western
consumers who are coming to prefer
Canadian sugar even at higher prce.
because it is always made uniformly
hard and there is consequently no loss
from shrinkage. Yer mont sugar should
always command the highest price,
because it is second to none in quality.
Our farmers should be careful to make
the new crop of sugar particularly
hard and thereby help to get back the
business that has been lost. This is
particularly vital at this time, because
after May LIST, 1916. the duty will be
removed from Canadian sugar and
Vermont sugar makers must compete
with Canadian sugar on duty free
basis. Makers of tub sugar this
spring should boil the sugar until the
thermometer registers 240 degrees.

The Tax Problem in TabI old Form.

The way to keep money in Vermont
and to help our commonweal tn to grow
accordingly is to make it worth while
for money to go to work in the devel-
opment of Vermont's natural resources
Those who favored the low fiat rate of
seven-tenths of one per cent on money
without any concession as to interest
or loaning in Vermont, cannot consist
emily object to making all money
loaned at the low rate of five per cent
for Vermont development exempt from
taxation. That principle has not had
a fair chance yet in Vermont because
of restrictions as to both farm indebt-
edness. which it was intended especial
ly to aid, and the exclusion of all loans
by banks, which pay but small tax
anyway. Give all these interests a
square deal. On the other hand. a
reduction of your interest on your
Indebtedness by one per cent is a
reasonable "offset," especially if your
rate of taxation is not much over one
per cent You can not reasonably ask
for both reduced interest and reduced
taxation. Burlington Free Press.

COOLEY, SUMMER GIRL.

I've had a good time, a good. good time.
Nobody knows how good a time but me.
With nights and days of revel and of
rhyme
And tears and love and longing by the
sea.
1t must not be supposed that fair
women are the only ones anxious to
select the right place for their summer
outing. Many man scans the resort
column and news with as much en-
thusiasm and interest.
All mems minds do not run in the
same groove; there are those who
choose the fashionable summer re-
sorts, to catch a glimpse of the beau
tiful woman and gay life, to beguile
the fieeting days of their vacation.
Many bashful young man has put
himself into the hands of a dancing
teacher, hoping to be in the swim, at
hop, ball or barn dance.
The resolve is certainly praise
worthy. Such a young man is a god
send to the hotel proprietor who is
madly pulling his hair in his eager
search for young men of good position,
character and social prominence as at
fractions to make his hostelry popular
with families with numerous daugh-
ters. The papers are glad to print the
list of eligible young men who will
sojourn at this famous hotel or that
one this summer. The girls read, but
10! visions of hop, ball, stroll, flirting
and love-making do not turn them
from the plans they have made for
their summer outing.
Instead of filmy lace dresses, white
satin, French heeled slippers, gossa-
mer scarfs and whole bolts of baby
blue ribbons, the girls will show you a
blue serge skirt, MILDLY blouses that
can be washed and worn without laun-
dering, thick-soled laced boots, sweat
er and tam-o shanter cap. That
means that nine-tenths of the girls
who used to go in for the gay life at
the summer hotel are to have quite
different vacation this season. They
have danced all winter in tulle and
satin, and have determined they must
have radical change to bring back
the roses to their cheeks and rest up.
So-its the camp life they're going in
for. A crowd of them, all going to-
gether under the wing of some good,
motherly old soul who has a houseful
of girls of her own, who knows what
they need and what is best for them.
Even the pretty dimpled flirts who
imagined they couldn't live without
some chap near by to make love to
them soon forget to sigh for heart
conquests, or to even dream of a man
in their slumbers when they have
lived for a week in the open. When
they. are all up with the dawn, chat
tering like magpies, how could one
dare to cling to her pillow and hope
to get another forty winks. There's
five-mile tramp to the brook, and an
hours fishing before sunrise, If they
would have a trout for breakfast.
Each takes her turn at frying pota-
toes, broiling ham or bacon and poach-
ing eggs, whether she's a millionaire's
heiress or the daughter of country
shopkeeper. The fried corn cakes
leach girl with mouth watering eagerly
waiting her turn to get one) tastes
thousand times more delicious than
the finest short-cake ever put together

time appointed committee Of five to prepare
a declaration of independence of the same pur-
port as Lees resolution, in the hope that the
new doctrine would be unanimously accepted
when the matter should be again taken up in
July.
Policy demanded that a southerner should
be chosen to write the declaration in order to
increase the probability of its unanimous adop-
ton. Logically, Jefferson was the man to carry
this work through for the mastery style of his
pen was well known. With such coworkers,
though it cannot be supposed that he alone was
the author of the resolution for the RESPONSE
bility had been assigned to all five jointly and
the counsel and advice of all were necessary.
However, the credit of the phraseology Is given
to Jefferson while John Adams is said to have
given close attention to the revision and the
amending of the resolution. The entire commit
tee helped perfect the documents by making 1t the
subject of critical analysis. In allowing the
Declaration of Independence to be ready before
its assembly on June % congress preceded its
schedule.
Satisfied that all were acquainted with its
tents, the legislature then laid the bill on the
table until it should come up for discussion by
congress sitting as committee Of the whole
BY trial vote July 1 only nine colonies voted
as favorable to the resolution
Final legislative action was therefore deferred
until the next day. That, July 2, probably
the most memorable of all dates of our national
history. During the stormy debate at that time
the declaration was both attacked and COM
mended.
When the vote Of the day was taken it was found
that the declaration had been unanimously in
dorsed by all of the thirteen colonies.
The vote in favor Of the declaration was not
sufficient to make the adoption of the new reso-
luton complete, for the next day congress sat as
a committee of the whole to consider the bill. At
that time slight alterations were made, certain
clauses censuring England omitted and
others regarding slave trade were left out while
other amendments were added.
On July congress assembled again and i'm
mediately resolved itself into committee for the
consideration of the Declaration of Independence
When John Hancock, as president of the con-
gress. resumed the chair, Mr.. Harrison great
grandfather of our former president of the United
States, reported that his committee had agreed
to the declaration, which they desired him to
report.
What followed this announcement is largely a
matter of surmise, despite the fact that the de-
bate lasted all through the warm day, when dele
gates either talked or listened swathed in heavy
close-ftting stocks.
