TO THOSE W no

BANKS

The first element OF safety in
conducting Banks is sound bust
ness Judgment in placing loans.
A man may be a good lawyer,
a odphysician, a good teacher
andyet beentirely unreliable and
unsafe as Bank director.
The President of a Bank ought
to be a man of ripe experience,
of unerring judgment as to val ues
and credits and of a naturally
conservative makeup or mental
tendency.
/ But that is not all. He should
be courteous and painstaking,
always ready and willing to as
sist the borrower to bring his
securities into such shape that
hecan be accommodated without
either violation of law or i'm
periling the Banks safety.
No Banks ever try harder to
take care of those who come to
them for banking accommoda-
tions than the two Hyde Park
Banks.
If the security or names offered
are good and comply with the
requirements of law and banking
rules, the managers of the Hyde
Park Banks always endeavor to
provide the funds.
Persons who wish to borrow
are assured not only of courteous
treatment but of the very best
efforts of the managers Of these
two Banks to neutrality-suspicious.
for loans successful.
The Banks solicit applications
from those who wish to borrow,
and they.will endeavor to see to
it that those who apply forloans
are not turned empty away, if
their paper is, or can be made,
lawful and good.
Remember that the Hyde Park
Banks reg ard themselves as prop
err Intermediates between those
who wish to borrow and those
who have money to loan. They
exist to serve the public.
The Hyde Park Banks are
never short of money to Vermont
applicants for loans.
During the two panics through
which they have passed, those of
1898 and 1907, they not only
met the demands of every depos-
itor who wished to withdraw
his money without a moments
notice, but they had money in
abundance to loan to every YER
monter who wished to borrow
and was able to offer lawful
paper.
This is a broad statement, but
the Hyde Park Banks have assets
ageregating over So, 100000.
and the Hyde Park Savings Bank
is the largest Bank in the world
in a country village.
Ifyou have money to place on

In either case you will be well

some 10000 men-equal only to the
hundredth part of the vast force which
Germany is now putting on the field
in France-after the unsuC cessful bat
tie with the British under Lord Howe
at Germantown, withdrew in discour-
agement to take up winter quarters at
Valley Forge, a miles northwest of
Philadelphia. The British troops,
numbering $4,000, contented them
selves with remaining in the city
throughout the winter, making occa-
sional forays in force through the sur
rounding country and clearing it of
provisions as effectually as did Sher-
man in his march through Georgia. AS
a consequence, the Continental troops
suffered unimaginable hardships for
lack of food in the six months from
the middle of December, 1777, until
June 10, 177S, when Lord Howe, relin-
gushing the command of the British
army to Lord CORVALLIS, evacuated
the city and withdrew to New York.
Through the efforts of the state of
Pennsylvania, Valley Forge is now
public property. More than 400 acres
are included in the park, comprising

But to all this she merely cast down
her eyes demurely and asked him to
wait awhile.
A score and one-half years had come
and gone around the life of Susan. AS
her 31st birthday approached John,
who had schemed until his hair was
beginning to fall out, decided on a
bold stroke.
That night he sat with her ON the
front porch, after the family had re-
tired. Over them a dim light shining
from the parlor window cast a pale
glow. John sat quietly waiting for the
silence he depended on for the fur
therance of his plan.
After awhile it came, and then,
when the stiffness had locked the
night in its embrace, he began to hum,
"Silver Threads Among the Gold"
When he had ceased, tears stood in
his eyes.
He drew his chair closer to hers,
reached out for her hand again and
asked her to become his wife. But
it was the same old prosaic answer.

Show me that you can rise to the oc-
casion."
Rise to the occasion, he would. He
resolved that firmly as he stood up
forthwith and babe her goodnight. He
resolved it all the way home. The
next morning he still resolved 1t. But
how?
A happy thought struck him. John
had a penchant for happy thoughts.
He would make a speech at Fourth
of July celebration. 1t would be so
grand and so eloquent, couched in
such rich expressions and so laden
with noble sentiment that she could
not help but feel the appeal. He would
show her that he could rise to the
occasion"
John got out his old school diction-
airy and brushed the dust from its COW
ers. Then he borrowed an immense
volume of masterpiece orations from
friend and read every speech he
could find that contained any patriotic
reference or expression.
For four weeks he labored almost
necessarily, night and day, on his eff
fusion, and finally he had IL COM

An obstacle that John had not reck-
oned on now doomed up. John was a
member of the program committee,

ing its powers in such form as to
them shall seem most likely to affect

Interest in these propositions used
to be cultivated in various ways, part
ly as a pleasure, partly as a duty. To-
day the words are unfamiliar, the flag
itself is infrequently seen, and Lexing-
ton, Bunker Hill, Saratoga. Valley
Forge, Trenton, Savannah, Cowpens,
Kings Mountain and Yorktown are
dimly remembered.
Yet we may be sure that OF the null
titudes of recent arrivals in the
United States there are many whose
steps have been guided by the ideals,
symbols and names which to us are
vague or forgotten. The valuable
things that young Europe is learning
here are acquired not from young
America, but from old America. The
landmarks of liberty which young
America fails to see or ignores are
still plain enough to the young Eu-
rope transplanted into America.
There are fading emblems in the
case of young Europe also, but they
are OF crowns and coronets, thrones
and scepters, divine right and priv
ilege, a shackled press and stihed
speech. To those who hunger and
thirst for liberty and opportunity the
old American emblems blaze afar. To
those who are surfeited with liberty
or unappreciative of it they fade and
die.

Y T WAS the practice of Americans
for many years to observe the
Fourth of July periodically.
Il Their celebrations did not con-
sist of noise alone. Attending all the
music, cannonading, bell ringing and
marching there was an intellectual
feature that heartened the old and
inspired the young.
In the uproarious festivities of ear
lier times the treasured emblems and
trophies of liberty were all in sight
for one day at least, and by recurring
to the principles of the Declaration
everybody's knowledge of and faith in
the doctrines that gave this continent
measure of freedom and justice were
strengthened and renewed, says the
New York World. II these emblems
are fading the fault is due more to
our native-born inhabitants, who
think they have learned all the lessons
OF liberty, than to the millions of new
corners, whose minds are still open
and whose eyes are still keen.

was TO bring us our Glorious Fourth.
The Chicago Post tells the story:
The friends of a Declaration of In
dependence were afraid that they
might not be in a majority in the great
Philadelphia gathering. 1t is affirmed
that they counted noses and were fear
full that they would fall short by one
or two votes. Then it was that they
determined to send a messenger into
Delaware to bring back an absent dele
gate who it was known would vote
right If he were present. They looked
for hard rider with the cause at
heart, a man who would ride the race
for liberty and count fatigue a pleas

name is unknown to posterity, but who
deserves well OF it.
The unknown rode on his mission.
He tore away, as one Of his contempt

records and sent the absent delegate
back in a hot hurry and in time to

proceedings were secret, but there was

ton carried by one vote. We have
