Pleasure Boats for South America

In Uruguay, Argentine, Chile and
parts Of Brazil there are great oppor-
tunities for the sale of small sailing
craft such as catboats or canoes and
light rowing boats with outriggers.
Many of the larger cities of these
countries, situated near the water,
have boating clubs and hold annual
regattas. These sailing and rowing
contests are international in their
character and attract visitors from
each of the countries sending contest
ing crews. The Tigre river, about ten
miles outside of Buenos Aires, is lined
with boat clubs and is favorite re-
sort for Argentinians during the sum-
mer months.
One man could handle the entire
line of commercial and pleasure boats,
and 1 am sure could make profitable
initial trip through these countries.
l would also suggest that he carry a
complete side line of accessories, such
as anchors, blocks, rope, varnish,

ton. In a letter to Chairman Nelson
Jackson, he writes as follows:-
"DEAR SrR:-Your notice of meeting oil

of Vermont for January 4, 1916, received
"Shall not attend the meeting, though
your letter urged that ut is very impor-
tant that l should attend.
"As perceive the conditions existing

that there exists no further need for meet
ings of any committee, either state or
national, OF the Progressive party.
Continued sinking OF passenger ships
with American citizens thereon, and the
continued policy OF Mr.. Wilson in regard
to our foreign relations, in my opinion
outweigh all other issues and the Pro-
gressive party's continuance can lead to
but one end: viz. the reelection of Mr..
Wilson, to which reelection am opposed.
This is my personal opinion. and to
further express same. | hereby resign my

Too often this important matter is left

Prepare for Next Christmas

These are busy days for the
Hyde Park Bank. Every mail is
bringing new members for their
1916 Christmas Club, which will
be much larger than any hereto
fore. Everyone wants one of the
Christmas Club checks which the
Bank mailed to club members
this year and indica tons are
that nearly every family in La
noble County will receive one or
more of these checks next De-
cember.
All that is necessary to do TO
participate in the Christmas
fund is to send a small sum
weekly or monthly to the Hyde
Park Bank and next December
check will be sent you for the
amount you have deposited with
two per cent interest.
Club members appreciate the
attention which the Hyde Park
Bank gives to every detail in
connection with the handling of
these deposits by mail. Every
possible courtesy, convenience
and assistance is extended to
them and in many ways they
are made to realize that the
Bank is interested in their well
fare. For small deposits postage
stamps are accepted the same as
cash. Personal checks, money
orders, or currency by registered
mail are convenient and abso-
utely safe forms of remittance
for larger sums.
A post card sent to the Bank
bearing your name and address

complete information regarding

VvARSHIPS' GOOD WORK
FRENCH VICTORY OVER INVADING
SCHOOL OF PORPoIsEs.
British Vessel Also Met and Destroyed
Sea Monster That Had Caused
Fear-NorWegian Fleet Found
Its Task Too Big.

Not all the tasks warships are called
and the destruction of human life and
property.
A couple of French warships were
sent out into the Mediterranean some
years ago to wage war against
school of porpoises which were doing
an immense amount of damage to the
fishing industry in those waters. After
three days hostilities, during which
quick-firing guns were used with con-
siderable effect, the vessels returned
to port triumphant, having practically
annihilated the enemy.
A year or two ago warship of
Great Britain's Australian fleet was
given the strange job of capturing or
destroying mysterious sea monster
which had been reported off the Falk-
land islands.
1t is pretty safe to say that the off,
GERS, If not the crew. entertained
grave doubts of the actual existence
Of the frightful creature which had
been described it was too terrifying,
hideous, gigantic and ferocious.
But shortly after the ship arrived in
the waters where the monster was sup
posed to lie in wait for vessels, the
officer of the watch deserted a
Strengthening beast making toward
his ship, and it was Immediately
guessed that this must be the SUBJ
stance of all the alarming tales. And
pretty good substance it proved, too.
An attack was made upon it, and
after some hours fighting with har-
poems and quick-frers, the mysterious
monster, which proved to be sea-ele-
plant between 10 and IA yards long,
was slaughtered and taken aboard.
Some years ago the Norwegian gov
eminent sent out powerful little fleet
of warships, armed with mines, tor
pedoes and quick-fring guns, to ex-
terminate vast horde of seals which
was denuding the sea on the north
west coast of all fish life.
But the government had reckoned
upon tens of thousands of seals, where
as there were millions. So unending
was their number that the fleet had
eventually to admit itself defeated,
with the loss of one man and two
slightly wounded, owing to an acct
dent, and to retire in ORDER" having
exhausted it's entire supply of ammu-
milton.
