The Two Principal Things Which Have Characterized This Bank Since its Beginning are Safety and Service
We have tried to employ every means possible to insure both these for
our customers. We organized first with an all cash paid-in capital. We
built as strong vaults as possible. This bank was the first in this section to
build a double vault —one for special or private use of its customers. We
were also the first to install safe deposit boxes for the public. We carry
full protection in burglary and other insurance. All of our officers and em
ployees are heavily bonded. We purchase the latest and most modern equip
ment to best serve with. Our safes are burglar proof. We have just lately
added an additional one to better protect the government bonds and securi
ties of our customers, insurance also being carried on these securities.
We were the first bank in this sec
tion which installed the modern post
ing machines. We are operating un
der the best State Banking Law in
the Union, which is being adminis
tered by a most efficient banking de
partment.
There was nothing else we could
think of to make our bank more safe
or serviceable than to also enjoy the
privileges and protection of the FED
ERAL RESERVE SYSTEM of the
U. S. GOVERNMENT.
Being under this Government su
pervision and protection, we feel
there is nothing more we can possi
bly add for the safety and protection
of our patrons, and being under the
supervision of the State Banking De
partment we feel we are doubly able
to guarantee the best banking service
of any institution not so similarly
connected.
Our entrance into this system is
purely voluntarily and it is with the
thought in mind of perfect protection
and greater possible service that we
presented our application for member
ship which was upon examination by
the government readily accepted and
approved. We enjoy the distinction
of being also first in this too—THE
FIRST STATE RANK IN THIS SEC
TION OF THE STATE TO BE AD
MITTED TO THE FEDERAL RE
SERVE SYSTEM.
Besides all these features of pro
tection, we do not desire to have lost
sight of the fact that this bank is
owned and backed by over sixty of
the leading substantial citizens—all
home men, and is managed by all
home citizens of established charac
ter.
On such basis we confidently lay
claim to a most liberal share of the
banking business of this Section of
the State, and respectfully invite the
accounts of all those demanding the
the government readiyl accepted and
protection.

When Tobacco Was Taboo.
In 1088 the Massachusetts general
court ordered, u writer comments,
“that no man shall take any tobacco
within 20 poles of any house, or so
near ns may endanger the same.” In
17-.H an act was passed forbidding the
carrying of tire through the streets ex
cept in a covered vessel, smoking, or
having In one's possession ‘‘any.lighted
pipe or segar” in the streets or on the
wharves. The penalty was $2. If the
offender was in a ropewalk, the pen
filty was from $5 to $100. Tills pro
hibition of 1708 was not repealed until
IN so.
Undeveloped Country.
Lake St. John, at the head of the
picturesque Saguenay river, has been
brought to the notice of the Koval So
olet.v of Arts by Prof. J. C. McLennan
ns one of the best undeveloped power
sources in North America. It has an
area of about 350 square miles, drains
a basin of 30,000 square miles, and is
315 feet above sea level. Three easily
developed power sites are capable of
yielding a toial of 1,000,000 horse
power at tidewater, and many sites for
docks and Industrial plants are avail
able on the river.

NOT FOUNDER OF ‘‘OLD ELI
Ellhu Yale Merely Helped Famous Col
lege to Get Started on Its
Glorious Way.
Ellhu Yale was not the founder of
Yale college. In spite of the beliefs of
many people. But he did make the
proposition of a college possible
through a gift of money and books.
He was born In New England, pos
sibly in Boston, nnd went to India
when he was twenty-two, Intent on
making a fortune. lie succeeded. He
found employment with the grefit East
India company, came to be governor
of the British settlement in India, mar
ried n native woman of rank, and with
his fortune left for England when he
was fifty, to enjoy the rest of his life.
As he had no son to Inherit his
wealth, and as ho remained truly Amer
ican in feeling, ho sent to Connecticut
to a relative to come nnd live with him
ns his principal heir. Dummer, one of
the most active workers for the pro
posed college In New England, wrote
asking for gifts, and Yale sent hack
books, Colt n Mather cleverly suggest
ing that tit. new college might be call
ed "Yale College," which, he stated,
would he better than the names of sons
or dngghters. Yale liked the Idea and
sent over East Indian goods to sell, the
amount of which exceeded his expecta
tions—S3,000 being realized for the
new college.
Ills tomb bears this quaint Inscrip
tion :
“Bom In America, In Europe bred,
In Africa traveled, In Asia wed."
Air Affects Speed of Train*.
The effects of air resistance are well
shown In the 121/4-ralle Simplon tunnel,
where an exceptionally high amount of
energy is required for running the elec
trie trains. The tunnel, which Is 15
feet wide and 18 feet high, with a
sectional area of 250 square feet, has a
ventilating current of 3,530 square feet
of air a second, maintained by two
lnrge blast fans at the Brlque end and
two exhaust fans at Iselle. Trains
going with this current encounter less |
resistance than In open air up to 15V4
miles n« hour, but In higher speeds j
or In the opposite direction the resist
ance is much greater than outside.
Coasting by gravity down the 7 to 1,000
j maximum gradient, a train, even
though going with the current, cannot
exceed 35 miles an hour on account of
the braking by the air.

Smalt Dally Task.
Nothing surely Is so potent ns n lnw

Long Indian Name.
The longest geographical Indian
name Is probably that of Lake Charg
o garogmatinehaugngogchebunnygunga
maug. This lake Is In Massachusetts
and its name has recently been chang
ed to Lake Webster. The word Is of
Algonquin origin and is said to mean
“How the south wind made a large
water where many blackbirds chatter."
