The savings banks of New Hamp-

the fiscal year ending June 80, the de-
posits aggregating $117, 0O6 ,596.4I, an
increase for the year of $6,210, 229. "a,
the largest increase in any year since
1890. In 26 years the deposits have al
most doubled in spite of the losses in
cident to the panic of 1898. The com
missioners recommend that national
banks having savings department be
brought under statutory provision by
a law similar to that i'll Vermont,
whereby such deposits should pay a
state tax equal to that of the state

The defeat of David J. Lewis, the
Democratic candidate for United
States senator from Maryland, was sig
nifcant in view of the fact that the
state went Democratic on the national
and state tickets. Lewis opposed the
parcel post bill and advocated govern
ment purchase of the express companies
and government ownership of telegraph
and telephone lines. During the cam
paign he denied that he was in favor
of government ownership of the rail
roads, but his constituents evidently
could see where he was drifting
and they repudiated the ideas which
had been his hobbies.

was the tamest of all, and would Swim
through their Hands in the Water.
Grace and Fletcher could reach
down their Arms into the Water, and
he would take the GOODIES to eat from
their Fingers.
And as they were so delighted to
see Mr.. Mackerel this year they gave
him Birthday Party-because they
knew he was four years old. He had
everything he liked, and he had some
of the other little Mackerels around
him too to help him enjoy the Party
But only Mr.. Mackerel took the food

now Grace and Fletcher are wondering
if he will be there next Summer"

Not Historically Correct.
bloomington BannerA


The attempt of The Reformer to give
the name of Molly Stark Trail to the
old Post road between Bennington and
Brattleboro shows q commendable in
tercst even though its selection indi-
Gates an insufficient consideration of
the subject. The name The Reformer
suggests is not historically correct. If
any road in Vermont is to be named
for Molly Stark it might better be the
one that her husband Travelled over
the range at Peru rather than the later
road by way of Woodford for which
the legislature of Vermont authorized
a lottery to raise the money some time
after John Stark s famous hike. Ap-
parently the state was hard up then
and has been ever since. In honor of
its birth we might call the Bennington
Brattleboro road "Lotterv Lane. ,,
Getting over it has been something of
a lottery even down to modern times.
The principal objection, however. to
calling it the Molly Stark Trail is the
repetition of the word "trailp which
ought not to be applied SO near the
Mohawk trail.

Alum powders are not only cheap but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for

Royal Baking Powder produces the
