New York, Sept. 24.-IIerbert Hoov-
er, who testified before the Senate
committee on reconstruction, declared
he believed the aggregate OF national
savings would be stimulated If the
government stopped profiteerlng' and
paid ''something like an adequate rate
of interest" TO depositors.
Reports showed. he said, that prof
its obtained by the government in 1913,
chiefly from redeposit of postal saw
ings bank funds in banks at 2I2 per
cent interest were $1,135,000, while, he
added, examination of any annual
postal savings bank report would show
that depositors do not receive much
more than / per cent interest.
IF complete balance sheet were
made from the beginning" lie said,
1.-THE return of the government as in
dicated by the profits during 1919 on
postal savings bank deposits, prOba-
bly, would represent at least 100 per
cent profit per annum on any capital
invested by the government in sup
porting the scheme in its early stages
or any capital extension that has
been necessary in the Postoffice De-
partment. Such an operation in pri-
vate banks would be dignified by the
term 'profiteering' and a public de-
mand would require investigation by
the attorney general. The deposit
ors are the poorest and least wise of
the community and deserve especial
care"
Mr. Hoover declared that it would
seem only justice" if the whole
method of payment of interest
should be reorganized so as to ap-
proximately distribute the profits
back to the depositors. He said the
postal savings banks were estab-
lished for the prime purpose of en-
larging the area of national savings
He asserted the stimulation to saw
ings was not interest return but
merely the inducement of safety.
"The real question at ISSUE" he
said, appears TO me to be not only
justice to depositors but also whether
the aggregate of national savings can
be increased by offering II larger re-
turn on postal savings deposits, wheth-
er more savings can he pulled out Of
stockings, waste and luxuries and
wildcats every dollar so saved is a
contribution to national welfare"
While Mr.. Hoover said he had no
doubt of the validity of the principle
that the government through the pos
tai savings banks, should not compete
with mutual and other savings banks,
he said the first thing that should be
done is TO pay interest at the rate Of
" per cent quarterly on average de-
posts.
This" he added. lis only a matter
of justice and is the application of the
law at the rate OF = per cent per an
mum, not l per cent as al present"
Mr.. Hoover SAID he preferred es
tablshment of some institution mod.
eled after the Farm Loan Bank rather
than have mortgages on new construc'
ton exempted from the income tax.

LEROY SCOTT GIVES NEW PO-
LICE GOSPEL IN NEW SCREEN
DRAMA.

When Leroy SCOTS first picture for
Eminent Authors--"Partncrs of the
Nights flashed on the screen, the
follow ng words, written BY Mr. Scott,
will give the key 20 the story and
the soul of the new police gospel:
~ this growing y. rid of noblcr
Iurpo. es, the old idea of duty of the
police merely to arrest criminals, is
being replaced among our police off
cials by new vision. The soul of
this new police gospel is that it is
3 cheaper and wiser policy, and saw
ing of human lives and souls, to pre-
vent men and women from becoming
criminals.
"Re-enforcing this great idea, there
is developing a second great movement
this being the spontaneous effort ,of
police departments to cast out the evil
within themselves-the occasional bad
men who slip into every organization
and thus strengthen themselves for
their high mission of becoming one of
the worlds greatest agencies for up
lifting mankind

JULESBURG GENERAL HOS
PITAL is CLOSED

This hospital was started with the
idea of furnishing Julesburg and the
surrounding territory and all of the
physicians of this vicinity with hospit-
al accommodations and it was assured
by the other physicians in Julesburg
that they would do all in their power
to make it success. One of them
did cooperate, bringing patients,
boosting the hospital and helping ali
he could. One did not bring any pa
tients, but did not knock and when the
opportunity Offered gladly and very
competently assisted when his services
were needed in a serious emergency
case, for which we heartily thank
him.
One physician did not bring any pa
tients and in fact tried to keep cases
away (albeit he thought he was con-
scientious in his knocking) and one
brought cases to the hospital was to
our face) enthusiastic and willing to
help in any way possible and to his pa
tients in the hospital and to every out
slider who would talk about it, he as
sidiously and persistently knocked the
hospital. the way it was run; the way
it was kept up; the food that was
served and every other physician who
was connected with it. This we did
not object to if it gave him satisfac-
ton, because we consider that every
knock is boost, but when he persist
emily disorganized our nursing staff
and brought censure on the hospital on
account of the late hours our nurses
kept due to long automobile rides he
took them on, we objected, but the OBJ
Jectlons were overruled.
We tried to change nurses, but could
not secure the services of the right
kind of a nurse. In the meantime this
physician not only overruled our OBJ
jections, but persuaded one of our
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-10-14

nurses to assist him in his efforts to
disorganize the hospital and finally he
succeeded in creating such dissenton
that we were compelled to discontinue
the hospital for the present, but hope
to reopen under better conditions and
when we can secure a staff that will
be loyal to the hospital. There is no
use to continue with the present Boil
sheviki element.
We wish to thank those who gave
their support and to sympathize with
those who misguidingly disrupted our
hospital, as they have robbed the peo-
pie of Julesburg and vicinity of the
advantages of hospital which might
have been enlarged and made huge
success with the cooperation of all.
Sincerely,
E. P. MURDOCH.

PEP IN PRIMARY |
| INJECTED BY TWO
LOCAL CONTESTS
Attempts to Displace Sheriff
and Probate Judge
WOMEN RUSH TO REGISTER
Last Meeting Of Board Of Civil Author
Ity Found Names Of 452 on
Check List.
WOMEN RUSH TO REGISTER

Final efforts are being made today In
the interest OF the various candidates
in tomorrow's primary and 1t looks
now as though the vote cast will be
larger than has previously appeared
likely
Part of this increased vote viii be
due to the attempt of Richard ]. Hur.
ley to defeat Sheriff Perry B. Gard.
ner for denomination, while o. Il.
Clayton is doing the best he can to get
votes against Probate Judge Edward
c. Bennett. Local betting is strong
ly in favor of Gardner and Bennett In
the two contests.
Not enough interest is being taken
in the senatorial contest In the north
shire. The two candidates are Wal
ton +. Andrews who is now building
woodworking plant at Manchester
Depot and Charles G. Leach, who
owns large farm in Rupert. Neither
of the men are much acquainted in
this part Of the county but the Senate
is Of equal importance with the House
in the Vermont legislature and the
voters should inform themselves rela-
tive to the senatorial candidates.
Saturday afternoon and evening
there was a rush of women to register
and the total number of women on the
check list is 452. This brings the
town check list above 5000 and, II all
should vote, Apollo hall will hardly
accommodate the crowd tomorrow af
AFTERNOON and evening.
After voting for so many years at
Library hall it is going to seem odd
for the old timers to go to Apollo hall,
over Bum's harness shop on South
street where the local polls are to be
opened. The booths are being placed
there today.
The final advice Of The Banner to
the voters of Bennington and vicinity
is to get out and vote. When errors
are made it is most often because too
many voters shrk their responsibility
and leave the decision to a part of the
voters, some OF whom may have a
selfish interest in the outcome. If all
the voters win go to the polls 1t is inn
possible for any small group or fac.
tion to gain control.

HOME TEAM WINS
ANOTHER PAIR Of
WEEKEND CANES
Defeats Shelburne Falls and
North POwnal Mines
Game with North Pownal Made Spec
tacular by Batting Rally in
Eighth inning.

Remington won Saturdays game
from Shelburne Falls at the Allen A
held, by the close margin OF to A.
The visitors were lucky enough TO Sc
cure more hits than the locals, but
timely hitting in the pinches, put the
local team IN the lead.
Doekum, who pitched for the local
nine, was bumped for nine bingles,
one or them being a two-bagger
Nevertheless the spit ball" finger
was right there in the pinches and his
smoke ball had the visiting nine guess
ing.
Reel was chosen to do the twirling for
Shelburne Falls and his first inning
on the hillock, was q rather fatal
one. He put all kinds of twists and
slants on the ball, but the locals
seemed to take liking to his delly-
cry and three runs were sent across
the rubber against him in this inning
b. Burns the first up, grounded out to
third. Parkerson drove a nice little
texas Lacquer" over short. Green
wood was walked and this sent Park
erson to second. This brought Miner
to bat and also the fans to their feet
Keel sent the pill with all his steam
towards the rubber and in turn Miner
sent the ball over the center fielder
for double scoring Parkerson and
Polly stopped at third. Scott
flied out scoring Greenwood and Min
er. Barton ended the inning with a
pop fly.
The local team touched off the
fireworks again in the fourth, when
they chalked up two more runs. Bar
ton sent the ball to right field but
stretched his cinder path record and
landed on second j. Burns singled
to lett and Barton went to third
Burke the next famed the air and
Dockum flied out to Reel. y. Burns

scoring ]. Burns and Barton. Parker
son was out at first on grounder to
third.
The visitors scored one lonely run
In each half of the first, fourth, fifth
and eighth innings, but one run in
each OF these innings were their best
efforts off Dockum.
The summary:
