All success to Governor Gates. Have you broken that New Year's resolution yet? The Monitor can tell Governor Gates how to make his administration a suc cessful one. Aim always to please the St. Albans Messenger. Orleans county furnishes another example, in the death by exposure of a Westfield man, of the personal right or liberty of individuals to obtain and consume alcoholic beverages. The Monitor notes no champions of the $4-a-day page, sweepers and door keepers rushing into print now that a reduction has been made. It is gener ally conceded that Sergeant-at-Arms Parsons and the governor or governors, did a good thing in cropping a little from state expenses at this point. The Vermont legislature is off. Whether the finish shall be in 60 days or 90 days or more, Vermonters want efficient legislation. The eternal tax question, the reorganization of our school laws, and a few other essential points ought to receive from the start a great majority of the time spent in Montpelier instead of fish and game and personal legislation. The recent heavy fire losses in Ver mont and the reported increase in fire damages in other states turns our attention to the problem of preventing this drain on our nation and common wealth. We complain of the burden of taxation but take no apparent effective steps to raise ourselves out of the mire of this self-imDosed tax ot immense proportion. PROBATE COURT. R. L.

One of the leading farmers present at the dairy conference in Burlington explained that he had tried to do things here as in the West, but he found that products could be shipped from Chicago to New York cheaper than from Vermont to New York. If this is the situation, then the farmers of Vermont in the coming legislature should institute measures looking to the remedying of this situation. We know that Burlington jobbers and wholesale dealers have complained that they could not compete with dealers in the large cities, who seemed to have better rates to Vermont towns than has Burlington, but if the claim of this farmer is true then Vermont "gets it both coming and going." Burlington Free Press. Vail's Gift. In offering to the state of Vermont the Lyndon agricultural school and the well-known Speedwell farms for educa tional purposes, Theodore N. Vail does not intend, as some newspapers seem to have gained the impression, that courses for girls be established there. What Mr. Vail plans to do if the state takes over the agricultural school is to devote his energy and money to demon strating the utility, need and advantage of a school where girls may be taught home-life industries and economics, but he will carry on this experiment at the Lyndon Institute, which is entirely separate from the agricultural school although supported largely by the same man. Thus it will be seen that Mr. Vail is not planning to give up his splendid work in behalf of the boys and girls of Vermont. What he asks is that the state take over an institution that has passed the experimental stage so that he may have further opportuni ty to demonstrate his sound education al theories. Brattleboro Reformer. Educators Confer. At a conference of nearly 100 educa tors of the state at Montpelier Monday night, practically every phase of Ver mont's present educational system was discussed, and resolutions were drafted strongly favoring the recommendations of the educational report. Several questions were definitely passed upon after a careful consideration. These are a few samples : "If the quality and quantity of educa tion is equalized among the towns should the expense of education be equalized also?" Affirmative action taken "Should the State aid vocational ed ucation to a larger extent than it now aids!" Affirmative action taken. Should the board of education have a contingent fund with which to foster worthy enterprises and to assist towns inordinately burdened with school ex pense?" Affirmative action taken. "Should the state establish, finance and control transportation?" Yes. "Is adequate provision for public schooling the first and chief education al obligation of the state?" Affirma tive action. "Is it advisable to adopt the 6-4-2 system for Vermont, thereby establish ing junior high schools of four year courses, such schools to be affiliated with or to become a part of the regular high schools now maintained?" Af firmative action taken, conference vot ing that working conditions be left to board of education. "Does justice demand that the State provide approximately as good educa tional advantages for one child as for another?" Affirmative action. "Should the school attendance age be raised to six years?" Yes. "Should the number of weeks of ele mentary schooling be increased to 36 weeks?" Affirmative action. "Is it desirable that there be voca tional instruction in the public schools of that character to educate the youth toward the occupation of the communi ty in which they live?" Affirmative action. "Should the system of union super vision be extended by law so as to include the entire state?" Yes. "If so. should the board of education be authorized and empowered to dis trict the state and to designate the towns of which each union shall be composed?" Yes. All of woicli shows that Vermont is waking up to a wonderful degree in ed ucational matters and that educational matters will be an important topic to be considered by the legislature of 1915. St. Johnsbury Republican. HOW TO CURE A LA GRIPPE COUGH "Coughs that hang on" demand treatment. Stop and think! Reason and common sense tell you that it is folly to "grin and bear it." Those racking la grippe coughs that wrench the body ana eaase soreness and pains in the lungs yield more quickly to Foley's Honey and Tar than to any other treatment. Forty years' record of successes proves this. For coughs, colds, croup and other distress ing ailments of throat, chest, lungs, larynx, and bronchial tubes, you can find nothing that will compare with this reliable remedy.

The stone shed owned by the Glove Granite company of Montpelier was destroyed by fire at an early hour Thursday morning. The loss is $25,000 insured. i G. H. Grimm, a pioneer in the manu facture of maple sugar- making appa ratus and one of the prominent business men of Rutland, died last week after six weeks of illness of general paraly sis. Mr. Grimm was not only a manu facturer of note, but an inventor who had originated many of the utensils which he afterward handled. Sunday, Dec. 27, was a day of rejoicing at the Methodist Episcopal church. Bennington, when the names of ninety persons were presented for membership, seventjMhree of whom were present, and were received on probation. The pastor, Rev. P. L. Dow, also baptized forty-seven. This is the result of the evangelistic meet ings recently conducted by A. W. Miller, and made possible by the faith ful preliminary work of the pastor and the hearty co-operation of his official board. Quite So.

Bisbee of Bristol was sentenced Friday to serve from twelve to fifteen years in the state prison at Windsor for manslaughter in causing the death of Cyrus Curry of Bristol, by selling him a concoction of ""wood alcohol. Curry and twelve other Bris tol men died from drinking Dr. Bis bee's liquor. This is practically a life sentence as the doctor is sixty-four years old. By good behavior his min imum sentence of twelve years may be reduced to nine years, but the prisoner will be seventy-three years old if he survives the confinement. Judge W. W. Miles, who imposed the sentence, asked the doctor if he had anything to say. Dr, Bisbee replied calmly : "I consider it a fair trial. The testi mony has been honestv and no one has lied about me." OUar Bnys' Conference at Chester. On January 22, 23 and 24 the fifth annual conference of the older boys of the Green Mountain state will be held at Chester. The conferences of the past four years have been well attended by over 1,000 boys, as well as by pas tors, school men and the leaders who are interested in the welfare of the boys of Vermont. They are not planned for giving the boys a good time, but for furnishing inspiration and information along lines in which boys are vitally interested. Some of the results accomplished have been joining the church, doing daily Bible study and prayer, teaching boys' Bible clas ses, working for the church and young people s society, choosing life work, resuming school, going to college giving up bad habits, working in clubs, helping the other fellow, and many other things. Vermont State Poultry Show. The Vermont State Poultry associa tion will hold its eighteenth show in City hall, St. Albans, January 19. 20, 21 and 22. This promises to be the banner show of this association from letters received from intending exhibi tors.

Clement of Rutland, and Mrs. C. M. Winslow of Brandon, as members of the board of education to fill the vacancies cause by the resignation of Dr. John M. Thom as, president of Middlebury college, the resignation of Herbert I). Ryder of Bellows Falls and the expiration of the term of President Guy Potter Benton of the University of Vermont. Mr. Clement accepts the appointment on the condition that if the legislature does not adopt the bill 1 embodying the provisions recommended by the educa tional commission or if Gov. -elect Chas. W. Gates, for any reason, de sires to put his own appointees on the board, then Mr. Clement's resignation will be placed in the executive's hands at any time. Mrs. Winslow, . the first woman to be appointed to the state board of education, is the wife of C. M. Winslow,' secretary of the Ayrshire Breeders' association. She is a mem ber of the state library commission and a member of the library board at Brandon. She has for many years been interested in educational affairs. KEEPING IN GOOD CONDITION Many people suffer from indigestion and constipation and do not know it. A feeling of dullness and languidness, bitter taste in the mouth, headache, bilious fever most of those conditions when you "a re not sick, but don't feel right" can be traced to sluggish bowels and torpid liver. Foley Cathartic Tablets cleanse the system, arouse the liver, and make you "feel good all over" light, energetic and ambitious. Sold by Austin's Pharmacy, Orleans, Vt.; W. S. McDowell, Kvansville; J.

Yon- A NEW YEAR'S GREETING FROM THE HYDE PARK SAVINGS BANK The Hyde Park Savings Bank extends to its many friends and customers the seasonable greetings A Merry Christmas, A Happy New Year and a' Prosperous 191 5 to all. The Hyde Park Bank begins the year 191 5 with larger deposits, larger assets and larger surplus than at the beginning of any year in its history. Its assets have reached very close to the Three Million Dollar mark, being $2,860, 984.20. Its deposits have almost reached the Two and Thiee Fourths Million Dollar mark, be ing $2,655,152.18. Its capital and surplus have almost reached theTuo HundredThousand dollar mark, be ing $192,104.56, or, counting the stockholders' liability, $50,000. the B.mk has a margin for the protec tion of depositors ot $242,104.56. The officials of the Bank state unqualifiedly that according to the best obtainable' information it does m t hold a single dollar of poor as sets and yet before any depositor could lose a dollar the Bank would have to make losses of $242,104 56 Safety rather than high rates of interest always has been and always will be the guiding principle of the Bank. Since the beginning of the Euro pean war it has had abundant op portunity to make loans at high rates of interest. It has in'no case taken any paper drawing more than 6 per cent nor have its doors ever been closed to the application of anv Vermont borrower who had j paper within the law. It costs something to carry ash balances so large that every Ver mont interest can be immediately taken care of, but the managers ot the Hyde Park Bank have always believed that if it took care of Ver. mont, Vermonters would take care of the Bank and they have done so with a generosity that has made the Hyde Park Bank the largest Bank in the world in o place of its size a fact which reflects credit not only upon Hyde Park and Lnm il'e County, but upon Vermont as well This Bank pays: interest at the rate of 4 per cent and compounds semi-annually without' action on the part of the depositor. It pays all taxes, whatever may be the size of the deposit and more than Five Million Dollars have been received and sent out by mail by this Bank j during the past five years without I the loss of a single penny. It is now perfectly safe to send money either by express, personal or bank check, registered letter or postal or express money order. Anv information touching the Bank will be promptly given by addressing the President, Carroll S. Page, or the Treasurer, F. M. Cul ver, Hyde Park, Vermont.

If a dollar is worth the ereat. tflF. required to earn it, it ought to'WI worth the less effort required to save it. If "Safety First." is a good motto to follow while you are pursuing the elusive dollar, it ought to be a'e-bod motto when that dollar becomes your own. ManKina in general does many perilous things for a dollar, some of which perhaps may be justified by the needs of mankind. There is not justi fication for mankind in general to take perilous chances with the dollar that has been accumulated. ?
