Mr.. Ward likes to refer to the slogan
that appeared in the early advertisements
or The bank: "Activity-C Conservatism
Safety" and insists that no financial in
stitution will disappolnt either it's patrons
or It's stockholders If ii practices these
essential fundamentals. That the Bur-
iington Trust company has been a sue
cessful business proposition Is evidenced
ana emphasized by the rates of interest
1t has paid depositors. the dividends re-
turned to its stockholders and the present
accumulated surplus earnings, which give
the capital stock value several times
greater than its par.
Mr.. Ward Is in every way staunch
Burlingtonian. He was born in this city,
educated in its schools and at its uni
versity and took up his Chosen work
Immediately upon graduating. His father
before him left an established business
to give his whole time and attention to
the growing business of the Burlington
Savings Bank, and his brother Is still
identified with that institution.
Moving along with the procession,
Henry l.. Ward has come to be one Of the
few old-time bankers that are left of
chose engaged in this line of business at
the time he entered it. He says that he
is proud to have been on board of
directors with the men whose names are
mentioned In the historical sketch given
above and to have associated, although
less intimately, with such bankers as
Lawrence Barnes, Charles w. Woodhouse
and F. M. Van Scklen. and to have
transacted business for the long list of
names of those who in the past 81 years
have been! patrons of the Burlington
Trust company.
Reply to an inquiry as to the reasons
for his leaving the company at this time,
Mr.. Ward said, in substance: 81 have
never held stock control in this bank, but
my relations with those who have, and
the apparently satisfactory service rem
dered, have secured my position for
thirty-seven consecutive years. But condi-
tons have changed-the old order passes
and others will now assume the manage
ment. dictate the policy and shape she
destiny Of what has been one of Burlng-
tons worthy banking institutions"

(From the New York Times)
P.wailipg IL e loss of $50, 900. Homer Ho-
grath. farmer of Minneapolis, Kan. ap-
piled to Assistant County Attorney Olson
recently for warrant for the arrest Of
Gallileo Gribino. alias Gallileo Grubb, a.
legged participant in the discovery of the
north pole and promoter for the Aurora
Borealis Ice company.
Ilograth, wealthy farmer, owner of
half a section of Kansas land. said that
last 5v,y Calico Grub appeared on his
farm. was equipped with apparatus

Grub made measurements and finally
when on a spot nor more than 100 yards

the very spot" Then, Hograth says. the
mysterious stranger introduced himself.
and from time to time offered to purchase
Hograth's land at price largely in ex-
cess Of it's valuation, which Hograth de-
clipd. Hograth says Grub finally aban-
doned the attempt to purchase and agreed,
under a pledge of secrecy, to take Hograth
into partnership.
Grubb explained that he was an Ital-
ian scientist, who had accompanied Peary
to the north pole. and that the pole was
really steel projecting from the center
of the EARTH the fountain-head of all
electric power and the source of the au-
rora borealis.
He had invented. he told Hograth. a
mighty scoup, to be attached to the pole
and to be run electrically from the pole.
In the process Of the earth's revolution
about it's axis Grub explained, the scoup
would dip into the Ice of the Arctic circle,
and as the earth revolved still further
the scoop would gradually tip and its icy
contents fall to the earth in the exact
longitude and latitude Of Hograth's farm
He offered to accept the farmer as a part

THRIFT FOR VERMONT

This is Thrift Week throughout the
United States. Stop and think about it.
Every boy who reads the Free Press
and there is an army Of you-looks for
ward to the time when he can do things
and have money with which to do things.
You daughters of Vermont are rightly
looking forward in the same way to the
time when you can earn something for
yourselves.
II is the easiest thing in the world to
fcut problems how to keep money from
getting away from you in improbable
ways. Thrift is the one essential right at
shis point in the task of wise use of your
e earnings.
The old recipe for a hare pie we have
quoted was, first catch your hare. If now
ready you let the hare escape, your hare
pie will be as though you had never
caught hare at all.
1t is highly important that every boy
and girl not only learn to earn but also
to be thrifty in disposng of earnings II
you learn how to save a part Of your
earnings and put the same where It will
In turn he earning, you will soon form
that habit, and it will stay by you through
life. assuring you a competence. II you
spend all you can get now and form the
hD Of hai, el,or
rowing from your neighbors. the chances
are you will never get ahead for shift
less habit is just as strong and as hard
to overcome as the habit of thrift
Right here we turn to the fathers and
mothers of Vermont, Have you stopped
to think whether you are helping the son
or the daughter or both to be thrifty?
You may have Joined with the Free Press
In bewailing the large number Of
promising young men and women who
are driven to other States to gain a
chance to do things for themselves. Are
you doing your share In the task of try
ing to keep more Vermont boys and girls
at home and give them a chance to do
things in the old Green Mountain state?
That is what our commonwealth needs
above all other things
II you are a resident Of the CITY. there
are innumerable ways in which you can
help the children to earn and to be
thrifty. We all learned this in connection
with various war activities. If the boy
discovers that he can do things right here
In Vermont and we study how to open
opportunities for him, he will be less
likely to disregard the manifold op-
portunities of this region and fly else
where. The same thing is true Of the
daughter
II you are among the most independent
class in the world and live on the farm,
= are you trying to make the son and the
daughter contented? Or are you among
those who make the boy present" of
a calf and give" the daughter a lamb
until some fine day a drover comes along
and makes handsome offer for the cali
and the lamb, and you put the money in
your own pocket?
All the children in such sad cases have
left is the heartache, with nothing to CON-
pensate them for the loss of their pets.
That is typical of an attitude Of MIND
and habit on the part of parents which IL

boys have animals of their own and raise

PATAGONIA MIflING NEWS.
(Patagonian)


 B. B. Smith is developing the Blue Nose property, the work being done under the manage ment of Superintendent Hogan. Considerable ore of good grade is reported as opened up.
 Adjacent to the 3 R mine are the Gray Beard group, the West Side group, owned by Joe Miller, the Harrison group, owned for mer Senator James A. Harrison and many other promising proS- poets.
 A new strike was made by Richard Farrell, Jr., on ground which lies short distance portherly from the Hardshell store. The ore runs well in sill yer and the strike looks very promising.
 At the Flux mine, bonded by Col. Richardson, to the Flux Mining company, development work is exposing large quanti- ties of ore both milling and shipping material. The people at the head of the Flux company are a live crowd and under their management the mine is proving to be a winner.
 Northeasterly from Harshaw, Jerry Sheehy is doing develop nent work on the Frisco Fair mine, where he has a showing of rich silver lead ore. Near by are the Denn and Farley groups. Close in to Harshaw, Mark Dick son and associates have a good looking silver-lead property. which is near the Hermosa sil- yer mines owned by James Cochran.
 The Hardshell mine, which is owned by Col. R. R. Richardson, is now being operated under a lease and bond by the Hardshell. Mining Company, and the work is being vigorously prosecuted. Operations in the new shaft have been closed down temporarily in order to install larger machIn- cry, but development work is being continued in the old work ings where rich silver.lead ore is being mined.
 The R mine, which is also owned by Col. Richardson, is be- ing subjected to a thorough cam paign of drilling by the bonding company, the Patagonia Super for Copper company. This work is being done by diamond drills. A. A. Wren, formerly general manager of the Ray Hercules Copper company, is supervising the drilling. The result of drill ing up to this time has been very satisfactory to the manage. ment.
 Considerable development work has been done recently on the Andes group which is owned by Col. Richardson. The work has been done under the direc- tion of Ed Bolhinger, an ex- perienced miner. Col. Richard son, with his experience in min- ing. always selects good prac- tical miner to supervise his de- velopment work. When the Colonel has confidence in a prop erty and a good superintendent who will back it up. he meets with unvarying success in his mining operations. The success of Colonel Richardson and the steady progress of the thriving little mining town of Patagonia, of which he was the founder, speaks for itself.
