and we'll versed in those methods and
in hearty sympathy with the policies in
operation, it is safe to say that under
his administration of the department
Vermont roads will continue to improve
and to supplement our beautiful seen
cry in the Green Mountain state,
mecca for for tourists. Mr.. Bates has
not yet announced his successor in Or
leans county and does not expect to do
so for some time.-Burlington Free
Press.
Mr.. Bates is county supervisor in Or
leans county and is considered to be one
of the best of the supervisors in Yer
mont. He has always shown loyalty
to Governor Gates and to the state
highway work that is, he has never
considered it from purely local stand
point, but has sought an equitable dis
position of the state funds among sew
eral towns. He has shown ability to
handle bigger things than come to him
in his county and has shown capacity
in the. handling of men. Governor
Cat = acquainted the several county
supervisors g. lis intention W}1> 4 they
called upon him the other evening in
the executive chamber to present him
with handsome gold watch and chain,
suitably inscribed on the covers. Gov
ernor Gates outlined to the supervisors
his plans for the next two years which
he submitted to them for their approval
He said that Mr.. Bates was willing to
accept the appointment provided that
the office could remain in Franklin and
the same office force as had worked for
MIR. Gates for the past two years be
retained. This had been arranged for
and the supervisors were unanimous in
their acceptance Of the plan. The su
pervisors signified their desire to CO.
operate with the new state highway
commissioner and give him as loyal
support as they had given Mr.. Gates
during the past years. By this ar
rangement it is expected that the
highway work will run along smoothly
so that a change in the machinery will
be hardly noticeable. There will be
no rough transition from one commits
sioner to the other. and beyond all
doubt the same highway policy as held
under Mr.. Gates will continue under
Mr.. Bates.-St, Adams Messenger.

WHY A SAVINGS BANK
GROWS
(From the Bradford Opinion)

The semi annual statement of the
Lamoiile County Savings Bank will be
f, und in another part. Of this issue
This bank is said to be the largest
hanx in village Of the size Of Hyde
ParE in the world This is distinc-
ZION but the greater distinction is that
1t is absolutely cafe and that it looks
out for Vermont investments that
V5rmonters' money may help build
up Vermont. It's business policy has
CIV n the public confidence in this in
stifutiOn 80 that it draws deposits
from all parts Of the state.
Our Bradford contemporary hits
the nail squarely on the head and
gives to the Hyde Park Bank a
measure of praise to which it is
legitimately entitled when it says
that the peculiar thing for which
the Hyde Park Bank deserves dis
tinction is that CIT is ABSOLUTELY
SAFE AND THAT IT LOOKS OUT FOR
VERMONT INVESTMENTS THAT YER
MONTERS MAY HELP BUILD UP YER
MONT, AND THAT ITS BUSINESS
POLICY HAS GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE IN THE INSTITUTION
so THAT IT DRAWS DEPOSITS FROM
ALL PARTS OF THE STATE"
Any bank which can truthfully
say, what the Hyde Park Bank is
able to state without qualification,
that during the panics Of Ioo7-o8
and of 1914 it declined no applica-
ton from any Vermont borrower if
the note offered came within the
law is entitled to the respect, con
fidence, goodwill and support of
Vermonters everywhere.
The Hyde Park Bank pays four
per cent, compounded semi-annu-
ally without action upon the part of
the deposilor, and pays all taxes
whatever the size of the deposit
may be.
Banking by mail is now regarded
as entirely safe More than four
million dollars have been paid out
and received by the Hyde Park
Savings Bank since January 1, 1910
X or an average of over one million
dollars per year -without the loss
of single penny.
Send your money by personal OF
tank check, express, registered
letter or postal or express money
order, and you will receive your
bank pass book or a receipt by
first mail.

The Monitor reprints in another col
umn much of the comment of the state
press upon the appointment of Stoddard
B. Bates of Derby state highway COM
missioner by Gov. Gates. "Sto0," as
he is familiarly known. has been singu-
larly honored in this appointment by
one who has known him and his work
for a number of years and he must
keep hustling to live up to his reputa-
ton which has gone broadcast through
the state by these press notices. A
living testimony of Bates's ability to
build roads is found in his own town
of Derby, locally noted for its excel
lent highways. Speculation as to
whom Mr.. Bates will appoint as his
successor as county road supervisor is
rife.

THE VERMONT FARMERS LIVING.

A survey of 40 farms in the dairying
districts of Vermont has recently been
completed by the U. S. Department of
agriculture. in order to ascertain how
much the average farm contributed to
the family's living in the form of
products grown and consumed on the
farm. There are two ways of obtain
ing the necessities of life: raising
them ones self and raising something
else to sell for money to buy them
with. Successful farming, say the
experts, depends upon the proper com
bination of the two methods.
The Investigators found that in the
areas studied in Vermont the cost of
board and lodging on the farm for eacn
individual was on an average STAT a
year This sum included food, fuel,
oil, house tent. and house labor, the
items being as follows:
Food s75. "a
Fuel IL 83
Oil .96
House rent ~ 90
House LABOR 81 10
SAT 10
Compared with the figures obtained
by similar surveys of areas in New
York, Pennsylvania. Ohio. Wisconsin,
Kansas. Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia,
and Texas, made in the course of the
investigation, this is so small that it
apparently implies a low standard of
living. The average cost of mante-
nance per person for all the areas stud
led was Sl76--a notable increase over
the Vermont figure of SIT The differ
ence, agricultural authorities say. is
largely to be accounted for by the fact
that comparatively little was raised on
the Vermont farms for home consump-
ton, much Of what the family used
had to be bought and in consequence it
used as little as possible.
Food is the great factor in the cost
of maintaining life. Of this the aver
age family in the Vermont area con-
surned each year 1851 60 of which 50 2
per cent came directly from the farm
The corresponding averages for all the
areas were $4l2 % and sc per cent re-
spectively. In the Georgia area the
averages were $3.50 As and 1873. From
these figures it would appear that if
the farm family is to live we'll it must
raise much of what it consumes itself,
and further analysis strengthens this
conclusion.
Few fruits and vegetables were
raised on the Vermont farms and in
consequence these formed a smaller
part of the total food supply than in
any other area except Ohio. The YER
mont family made up for this lack by
the use of groceries. 92.8 per cent Of
which were purchased. AS result,
the average bill for groceries was ap-
proximately $l09. "a as compared with
an average for all the areas of S95. 20.
And yet, if we judge by the total
value of the food consumed by each
person in the family, the Vermont fam
lily in its standard of living, ranked
last, In North Carolina, the average
family spent only ST. % on food of all
kinds and lived better than in Yer
mont. In this connection it is note
worthy that in dairy section half of
the families bought butter and that
only SIPS of milk and S. 81 of eggs per
person were consumed. The milk. of
course, was reserved for sale, the sup
ply of eggs, however, could have been
greatly increased for the family's ben
! eft at trifling outlay of trouble and
expense. In Iowa the average con-

Retiring Gov. Fletcher's message
was a document with more than the or
binary amount of pungent material in
it. He became specific and while it is
not expected everyone will agree with
him in all matters. some Of his sugges-
tions certainly ought to be needed and
considered Allen M. Fletcher may
not have made popular governor but
Allen NJ. Fletcher was governor during
his term of office. did to him what ap-
stands upon his record, and renders no
apologies for his course. That is
more than can be said of some govern
ors, and while the Monitor has
slammed Fletcher as hard as anyone
in some instances, it believes on the
whole he has made good governor
He has taken things out of their beat
en- path and if he has made human
mistakes he has done no more than
other public officials and his critics.
A delegation from Colorado. headed
by the governor. appeared before a
congressional committee the other day,
urging favorable action on a bill to
create Rocky Mountain National park
of $50 square miles, now a forest re-
serve in Colorado. Turn back the
tide of tourist travel to Europe to the
scenic spots of America" they sug-
gested. If in Colorado, why not in
Vermont? Where can a more beautiful
location for park be found? The
Rocky mountains already have the yell
lowstone and the Glacier; why not,
then, have a national park in Vermont?
We call the attention of the secretary
of the Greater Vermont association to
the matter Vermonter.
The Vergennes contemporary is
right. Glance for a moment at the
government map showing the national
forest reservations and we find that up
to the requirement Of the White Noun
tain tract very recently, not single
reservation is found in the whole APP
palachian system, in fact, east of the
Mississippi river. Colorado already
has many large forest reserves and as
stated above, the Rocky mountain dis
trict has several national parks. It's
time the east got some of this thing.
Let the Vermont delegation in Con-
gress make it known that this part of
the country wants a national park.
