PNoOE OF STATE ENTER.
PRICES STILL CONTINUES

Practically every effort at real, con.
ses0etive legislation, seems to have
bosn swept aside by the industrial
probe. which still is IN full swing.
The house committee has grilled
Oathro, Lofthus, Brinton, and many
ether more or less important wit
nssses. while the senate, sitting as 4
sommittee Of the whole. is going over
ne same ground seeking to bring out
points passed up in the house hearing.
The defense of the industrial COM
nission and the Nonpartsan officials
ct the bank and other institutions is
mainly that the program was well
under way and would have worked
Out; that the financial situation Ia the
state was such that the Introduction Of
the initiated law last fall allowing
public funds to be withdrawn from the
state bank precipitated trisis. Mr..
Cathro points out that when the civil
organizations of the state came to the
Bank of North Dakota for money it
was necessary for the state inStitu-
non, in turn. to call upon local banks
for It's redeposits, and this embar-

that many were forced to close The
charge of favoritsm in the placing of
redeposits is vigorously denied. while
the questioned methods of capitaliza
ton and floating loans are strongly de-
fsnded as necessary to the filnctioning
OF the state program and the main
tsnance of financial stability in the
state
The Independents charge that ex-

INTERESTING THE YOUNG
PEOPLE IN AGRICULTURE.

If we wish to have Vermont move
ahead we must do something to inter-
est the growing generation. We must
furnish the boys and girls with a
strong incentive to remain in Vermont
and engage in gainful occupation. We
must show them that there are splen
did opportunities right here at home,
while at the same time they are en-
ioying the advantages of living in a
state like Vermont. Inasmuch as Yer
mont is largely an agricultural state
il follows that much of the effort to-
ward keeping the young people in Yer
mont must be directed along agricul-
tural lines, to show the young people
that there is not only a good living"
by farming but also a chance for ac-
quiring wealth There are agencies at
work along this line already. Boys
and girls are being interested, even
enthused, in the development of some
particular form of agriculture They
are gaining beneficial instruction un
der competent leaders; they are "lay-
ing by" something; they are being
taught to see that Vermont is field
of opportunity The chief agency, per
haps, in bringing this about is the
boys and girls club work under the
direction of the state agricultural ex-
tension service. Clubs are being formed
by the boys and girls; the members
are entering heartily into the spirit of
the work and they are holding exhibit
lions of their work; yermont's output
of food products is being largely in
creased thereby. But, best of all, the
boys and girls are learning that Yer
mont is a good state in which to ex
pend their energies The hope of Yer
mont rests largely in the success of
this movement; and the initial prog
ress made gives indication that the
success will be forthcoming.
Unfortunately, Washington county
has not kept abreast of this boys and
girls club movement, although there
are scattered instances where the in
fluence of the movement has been felt.
We have heard of one boy in the Mad
River valley section who, though de-
prived of one hand, has become so
enthused over the project as set forth
by the efforts of this department OF
the extension service that he has
earned enough money to provide him
self with an artificial hand and now
he is setting about the task of own
ing the ranch" as he expresses it. He
got at least part of his enthusiasm
from the boys and girls club work
department, just as boys and girls
in other parts of the state have gained
their enthusiasm and incentive from
the same department. But the work
in Washington county needs TO be or
gained and to be enlarged greatly II
there is to be any marked gain to the
county and to the state Organiza-
ton is a plan which has been started
by the Washington County Farm bu-
reau It is proposed to take in not
only the men and the women but the
boys and the girls as well-to get
something started and to start II right.
Therefore, it is to be hoped that there
will be general and prompt co-opera-
ton on the part of the people Of the
county. II anything ever deserved TO
succeed il is this movement to enlist
men, women, boys and girls in the
development Of the agricultural life Of

Announcer ent

Saturday morning at nine O'clock we shall open
for business in our new banking rooms in the Adrch
building.
Saturday afternoon from two to five and Satur-
day evening from seven to nine o'clock, our banking
rooms will be thrown open for public inspection.
Music will be Furnished and souvenirs distrib-
uted and the officers, directors and employees will
give their time to the public for the afternoon and
evening.
In this connection it may be proper to say that
these rooms located on a corner which has been SO
long associated with the financial history OF the City
of Barre the working out of an ideal IN the Ire
of this institution idea that may be briefly stated
thus:
Back in 1904 this bank was started in a small
way through the united efforts of few OF the cltys
forward looking business men. 1t was at that time,
and has always since been, committed to pohcy OF
conservatism In fact many OF the friends OF the IN
stuon at that time feared that it too conserva-
tive.
1t is true that through the early years of its
existence it's growth was SOW, but it was, neverthe-
less, well founded.
The wisdom of this policy has long since been
fully justified and the degree of public confidence
which this policy has brought to the bank and the IN
creasing prosperity of its friends and patrons has
enabled it after years of careful management to SO
develop in strength and ability to serve at all times
giving consideration to the reasonable needs OF the
people to the limit of its AGILITY that has to-day at
tanned to it's cherished ideal an institution that
fairly represents the financial Importance of the city
and its industry and banking home that will in
measure at least symbolic the characteristic thrift
of the people.
You are cordially invited to come in at any time
and we shall be especially pleased to have you share
with us the JOY of this occasion on Saturday after
noon and evening.
