One of the most attractive and well attended events staged at Trin­ ity United Church, for many a long time, was the recital sponsored by the Women’s Association on Tuesday evening, to raise money for. the Red Cross. Mr. Ewart Bartley, organist and choir director of the church, arrang­ ed the program, which was a novelty in as much as this was the first time a six $iano ensemble had appeared here. Mr. Bartley had been instru­ mental in bringing to Ingersoll on a number of occasions, some excep­ tionally fine talent and to those who appreciate good music, all are deeply indebted to him for this his last en­ deavor. Mrs. Beatrice White McKinney as soloist, left nothing to be desired in her various numbers. Mrs. McKinney possesses an unusually lovely clear soprano voice and all her songs de­ lighted her audience, and were hear­ tily received. The rendition of “Home Sweet Home,” and “I Heard a Forest Praying,” were oustanding. Her interpretation of the latter song was indeed a joy to hear. Mr. Bart­ ley gave her sympathetic support as her accompanist at the piano. In the piano ensemble, Mr. Bart­ ley as director, had »a brilliant con­ ception of the musical qualities of the varied program, in fact every number was a gem in its own right and it was difficult to say which one was superior to the other, so that we will just mention the fact that it was, in its entirety, a rare musical treat. The Group very graciously responded to an insistent demand for a repeat performance of “The Harmonica Player.” The program was as follows; GOD SAVE THE KING Six Piano Group—Pianists, Miss Marie Thomson, Miss Muriel Water­ land, Mr. Clarence Oerton, Mr. Doug­ las Elliott, all of Woodstock, and Mr. and Mrs. Ewart Bartley of Ing- soll.

' ANNUAL BAZAAR HELD AT MOUNT ELGIN Mount Elgin—The annual bazaar of the United Church was held on Wednesday afternoon of last week and was a decided success and well attended. Receipts of the'day equal­ led those of. previous successful years, which was very gratifying to those ,who had worked hard to make the day a success. The school room presented a very cosy and inviting appearance, with the customary dec­ orations of myrtle flowers and col­ ored crepe paper, all adding greatly to the brightness of the interior and making an attractive setting for the ■affair. The fancy work booth was a particularly attractive corner and was in charge of Miss Edith James, Mrs. Nelson Harris, .Mrs. Bert Hart­ nett and Mrs. Chas. Scott. Here one could have no trouble in selecting the pretty Christmas gift. A number of fine art idea were offered for sale at this booth, such as towels, aproifs, doilids, ted cloths arid other articles. Mias Bertha Gilbert, Mrs. F. C. Phillips and Mrs. Don. Strachan had charge of the candy booth and here both old and young were to be found patronizing the toothsome dainties displayed, consisting of pop­ corn balls and all sorts of home­ made candy. Business was good here and a quantity of delicious candy was disposed of. At the home-cooking booth could be found an unusually fine display of pies, cakes, bread, tarts, dressed chickens and other home-made delica­ cies. There was a good demand for these tempting articles and this booth was in charge of Mrs. A. E. Gilbert, Mrs. J. C. Harris, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Harold Fleming and Mrs. Dell Morris. The apron booth .was presided over by Mrs. H. M. Barrett, Mrs. Ross Daniel, Mrs. Frank Harris and Mrs. Will Stoakley. On display here were many aprons of every description of style and color. There was a great demand {or the articles displayed here, which consisted of quilts, quilt tops, aprons and night shirts. The tea room was in charge of Mrs. Charles Smith, with Mrs. James Hartnett, Madeline Smith, Phyllis Pile,’ and Mrs. Will Boyd as her assistants. The prettily arranged tables presented a very inviting ap­ pearance and were decorated with flowers, pretty chintz and dainty tea cloths. Here at reasonable prices were sold chicken pies, jelly, scal­ loped potatoes, pickles, pie, cake, ice cream, tea, coffee and bread and butter. The kitchen where all these dainties were prepared ,was in charge of Mrs. Harley Jolliffe, Mrs. Orrie Harris, Mrs. Herbert Freeman and Mias layton. Another booth at the bazaar was the vegetable, bulb and seed counter, which did a fairly good business and was in charge of Mrs. Hurd and Mrs. Welt. Still another counter was where potatoes were 'sold, the pro­ ceeds of which went to the* Baby Band fund for missions. Mrs. A. H. Downing, 'treasurer of the W. A., was also treasurer for the whole affair and Mrs. Chas. Corbett, presi­ dent, Mrs. Small and Mrs. Bartlett graciously welcomed the viritorj at the door. The ladies are well pleased with the afternoon's receipts and all. are very grateful to those vho patronized the bazaar and extend thinks to uH who helped in making it the usual success.

President Dr. C. A. Osborn was in the chair. The attendance was nearly 70%.

Before assuming his present posi­ tion'in London, Mr. Lucas was Public School Inspector for Kent County and part of Elgin In opening his talk on the subject, “Democracy in Edu­ cation,” he said one could not say too much about educational ideals: Education was something that nearly every person should be interested in as nearly one quartet.of the popula­ tion of our country is in, or connect­ ed with, an educational institution of one kind or other. “Education is big bumness, he declared. It was the opinion of Mr. Lucas that an educationalist must be a paci­ fier arid a mediator and should not be a person that goes off on a tangent at times. There were no bettor ideals to teach young people than the demo­ cratic ideals and in order to do this one first must get rid of hypocracy. In order to be successful in teaching the teacher should have the co-opera­ tion and support of the public, said the speaker. The thanks of the gathering were tendered Mr. Lucas by Kiwaman J. W. Hagan, Inspector of Public Schools for South Oxford.

VEALEProprietor ano Editor PHONES:—Tribune Office, 13 - Residence, 442A — Member at — The Canadian Weekly Newspaper*’ Association THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30th, 1939 Pulp and Paper Industry In Europe they are conserving their supplies ofpulp and paper. Newspapers are cutting down the size of their issues. There is no scarcity in Canada. The pulp and paper industry has headed the list ofmanufacturing industries in net value of production since 1920, and in wage'and salary distribution since 1922, replacing the sawmills in both cases. It was first in gross value of production from 1925 when it replaced the flour mills, until 1935 when it was over­ taken by the non-ferrous metal smelting and refining group. The gross value of production of wood pulp and paper in 1938 was 3183,898,000, representing a de­ crease of 18.7 per cent from 1937. but an increase of 49 per cent over 1933, when production reached its lowest level. This gross value represents the sum of the valuesof pulp made for sale in Canada, pulp made for ex­ port, and paper manufactured. It does not include pulpwood nor pulp made in combined pulp and paper mills for their own use in making paper. The net value of production in 1938 was $89,034,000, com­pared with $106,002,000 in 1937. Wood-pulp exports during the calendar year 1938 amounted to 554,037 tons with a value of $27,730,738 as compared with 870,716 tons valued at $41,815,731 exported in 1937, marking decreases of 36.4 per centin quantity and 33.7 per cent in value. Imports of wood-pulp dropped 19.4 per cent from 21,053 tons in 1937 to 16,979 in 1938. All imported wood-pulpcame from the United State's. ' The exports of paper and paper goods during the calendar year 1938 were valued at $112,872,776 as compared with $136,164,168 in 1937. These exports were made up chiefly of newsprint paper, 2,424,651 tons valued at $104,615,042 being exported, of which 1,938,296 tons valued at $85,190,912 went to the United States. Since 1937 Canada’s exports of newsprint have surpassed those of wheat, which was formerly the leading commodity exported. For a number of years Canadian newsprint exports have been greater than those of the rest of the world com­bined. In 1938 newsprint exports showed a decrease in quantity of 29.8 per cent, and a decrease in total value of 17.3 per cent from the 3,455,239 tons val­ ued at $126,466,412 which were exported in 1937.’ During 1938 the total value of paper and paperg, ods imported was $7,520,328, a decrease of 5.8 per cent from the imports of 1937. The Saar Territory The Saar Territory, entered by French troops, isan industrial and mining region on the Franco-Ger­ man frontier, north of Lorraine. It has an area of 737 square miles and a population of over 800,000. The basic industry is coal, good for industrial pur­ poses and gas production, and moderately good forcoke, with 31 mines employing 67,000 men. At the restoration of the Saar Basin to Germany in 1935 the production of coal was over 11 million metric tons, coke nearly two million metric tons, pig iron nearly two million metric tons, steel 2,127,000 metric tons, rolled steel 1,446,000 metric tons. Since that time the statistical figures, separate . from the reet of Germany, have not been available. Next inimportance came ceramic, glass and chemical products. The Saar is largely dependent on imports for certain commodities, including food supplies. Two of the towns prominently mentioned in the war despatches are Saarbrucken and Saarlouis. Saar- brucken owes its name to a bridge which existed in Roman times. It was in the possession of France from 1801 to 1815, when by the Peace of Paris it was ceded to the Allies and made over to Prussia. Saar- ibrucken has a population of about 130,000. Saarlouis, which has a population of over 16,000, was founded in 1681 by Louis XIV of France. It also, by thePeace of Paris in 1815, was ceded to the-Allies and by them was made over to Prussia. J The treaty of Versailles gave Franco Absolute pos­ session of the mines as compensation for destructionof her northern mines during the WorkKjVar and os part payment toward German reparations. Districts containing these mines were detached from Germany and formed into the Saar territory. To assure the welfare of the inhabitants and enable France to ex­ ploit the mines, an international governing commis­sion, responsible to the League of Nations as trustees, and exercising all powers of government formerly held by the German Empire, Prussia and Bavaria,was instituted for 15 years. This commission had five members, one French, one native, non-French in­ habitant Of the Saar, one British, one Czecho-Slovak and one Finnish. At the end of the 15-year period in 1935 the League of Nations Instituted a plebiscite by the inhabitants of the Saar as to whether or not they would prefer to return to Germany. The vote wu largely in favour of a return and the Saar Territorywas accordingly restored to Germany. Sabotage and the necessity for guarding against it is explained in a memorandum to industrial execu­ tives issued this week by the Industrial Accident Pre­vention Associations The message points out that' sabotage is an actual fact and must be fought both by industry and the public in Canada. Sabotage,states the bulletin, may take the form of such meth­ ods as: Concealed damage to raw materials at sourcesof supply or during transportation to points of pro­ cessing; damage to processing equipment; damage to finished product; destruction of manufacturing plants by fire or explosion; concealed damage to important parts of manufactured articles, possible of detection only after being placed in use; concealment of ex­ plosives or Incendiary bomba in bulk shipments, or in • ship or freight car transporting such merchandise; interruption of manufacture by destruction of or damage to power plant* and power lines. Canned Fish in Fur FarminsFish conning is not a new industry, of course, butcanning fish for the fur farmer is distinctly a new de­velopment. Ixm the Department of Fisheries tell thestory in its own inimitable way:“Production of canned fish for use in feeding stock on fur farm* has been added to the operation* in con­ nection with Canada’s fishing industry. Experienceof fur farmers in different areas—Ne^w Brunswick, Aihcrta and Prince Edward Islands n« examples— has proven fish to be an excellent food for foxes and other fur-bearing animals and substantial quantities of fresh fish have been used for this purpose. Good fishis necessary, of course, but since the appearance of the product doe* not count with the “boarders’’ it is possible to use supplies which would not be suitable f«r ordinary market trade. Now, however, canned fish is to be available for the fur farmer. “Prince Edward Island canner* who have gone into the fox field are putting up hake, a fish of sound food value and mineral content but costing less thansome other species. In the processing operations carried on by one canner, at least, the fish are first split, the stomach cleaned out but not removed, and the whole fish is then ground up. Then it is placed in a steam heated copper kettle and cooked. Whenthe cooking is finished the fish while still hot is put in cans which are then sealed.” Ford Appointment BANK OF M O NTRE ALEstablished 1817 presentation, in easily understandable form, of the ^Bank's ANNUAL STATEMENT 31st October, 1939 LIABILITIES As a result of the war, the government of the United Kingdom has taken control of the distribution, prices, etc., of a large number of commodities and for many goods import licenses are nouj required.

Cocoa, milkshakes and other beverages are improved by the additon to a few grains of salt Salt seems to make “sweet things sweeter," so a trifle of salt should always be included fa candies, cakes, ice creams and ’sweet desserts. In dishes that call for the beaten whites of eggs, it is a good practice to put a pinch of salt into the whites before beating. The salt stiffens the whites, makes them beat up faster, to a slightly greater volume and makes the foam leu likely to become watery on standing. Add a little salt to the water in which egg*are poached. This will make them “act" more quickly. Messrs. Joseph Gibson and 8.

Thus Pasteur bestowed on all immunizations the name which Jenner had given to smallpox vaccination.So highly is diphtheria vaccination regarded in France that since 1938 it has been made compulsory in the course of the second or third year of life. It confers immunity in about 98% of cases. The risk of any acci­ dent is said to’’be one fa 609,000 cases. There has been a great reduct­ ion in the number of cases and deaths since the measure has been put in force. The vaccination is given free except for those who wishto employ their own physicians. Diphtheria vaccination is also compulsory-in Italy, Switzerland .and Roumania. On the North American continent it has not been found nec­ essary to resort to compulsion fa or­ der to secure co-operation fa diph­theria vaccination. The use of diph­ theria toxoid has given such re­ markable results ti^at particularly fa the larger towns and cities the public are calling for _ it. Educational measures are generally more satis­ factory fa the promotion of health than compulsion. THE SAVOUR CHF SALT Food without salt is pretty flat The U. S. Department of Agriculture as well as that of Canada, publishes standard directions for cooking veg­ etables. The water should be salted at the beginning. When broiling or frying meat, on the other hand, salt should be added after or at the end of cooking. Salt tends to draw out the juicer of meat This applies more to meat in small sections such as chops or steak*. So, because it is more convenient, salt the roast be­fore it U cooked. 5 Foods such as cornstarch puddings, cooked cereals and breads need a bit of salt to bring out the bland flavour of. the starch. In a tested recipe forbread, thia is enough to aceent the wheaty taste of the flour, but not enough to give a salty taste or to Sum ILIffe^OiiiiMiai 1 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOV. 30,1939 Page ?Imperial Bank of Canada65th Annual Meeting President and General Manager Review Business Conditions to be no doubt but that the immediateeffect will be much greater activity and therefore more profit. The prices of primary commodities and manu­ factured goods have already shown indication of rising while the swinginginto action of manufacturing andbusiness ot all kin<i< r, taking placerapidly. This activity should continue for the duration of the War. It might be expected that a period of depression and low prices will follow upon the cessation of hostilities and no doubtthat will be the immediate effect ofthe termination of the War, but I amoptimistic as to the future of thecountry and do not fear any great calamity either in the near or distant future and at the end of the War afterthe first depressing effects on industryare over I wculd look for a rapid andpermanent development of our natural resources and trade. We still have our enormous natural resources, agricul­ ture, timber, fisheries, minerals, and immense potential supplies of electricenergy, and with these resources backedby a strong virile, well educated and intelligent population such as Canada possesses the future cannot but be one of promise and progress. MR. H. T. JAFFRAY General Manager, said in part: At our Annual Meeting last year I made reference to the restricting effect which the unsettled conditions inEurope had had on business activityduring the preceding year. This situa­ tion continued almost without inter­ ruption for the first ten months of the Bank's current year culminating at the beginning of September in the War inwhich we, with other parts of theBritish Empire, are now involved. Thiscondition aid not lend itself to in­ creased earnings and consequently the Management is glad to be able to report to you profits of >966,258.53,the amount being $4,915.74 greaterthan the profits shown a year ago.In my remarks a year ago I wasable to state that deposits as on October31, 1938, had reached the high point of all time in the history of the Bank. I am glad to be able to repeat this statement as applied to October 31,1939. These figures make a total ofliabilities to the Public of $170,766,033,as compared with $150,514,062, an increase for the year of $20,251,971. CONDITIONS SATISFACTORY As is customary we have receivedfrom all our branches special reportson business conditions in their respec­tive localities as at the present tube. I am glad to be able to advise you that these are uniformly satisfactory and indicate a substantial improve­ ment. Crops, as ypu know, have beengood throughout Ontario and particu­ larly in the West; Industries are busy; unemployment is reduced; our Minesshow increased production and woods operations are on a larger scale than last year. This situation is, of course, in 3 measure being brought about bywar activities, but it is my opinionthat the movement was on the waybefore the outbreak of hostilities. Brandies of the Bank now number 195 as compared with 194 a year ago. SHAREHOLDERS Shareholders of the Bank now num­ber 2,711 as compared with 2,685 a MR. A. E. PHIPPS President, •aid in part: Since the British Empire is at Warit may be interesting and profitable totouch briefly on the condition in whichthe Bank nnda itself compared withthe position at the outbreak of the World War twenty-five years ago. At that time the total assets of the Bank were $75,000,000., compared with $187,000,000. at the present time.Our total deposits are now >161,000,000. .. against $55,000 000. Loans whichu, then >48.000,000. now approxi­ mate $80,000,000. The holdings of Domir.. ;n and Provincial Government securities irr April, 1915, amounted to $666,000., compared with >70,000,000. in October, 1939, while the total port­folio of the Bank is now upwards of>77,000,000., compared with a mere$2,664,000. in 1915, remarkable evi­dence of the change which has taken place over the past quarter of a century.Canada is in a vastly better positionthan she was at the start of the lastWar. Let us all hope that her effortwill be sustained and will be of realassistance to the Empire in winningthe War which we must and will do. War conditions will not only require but probably will make possible the full utilization of man power and equip­ment. The urgent demands in Canada and in Allied countries for supplies ofdifferent kinds will provide that im­petus to expansion of production and capital investment which has been relatively slack in recent years. In a special War Budget presentedto the House of Commons a revisedestimate of total expenditures andreceipts for the current fiscal yearending March 31st, 1940, was tabled.Through upward revisions in customs, excise, sales taxes, and income taxes the Minister hopes to raise an extra $40,000,000. during the period, leaving an anticipated deficit ot nearly $100,-000,000. for the year. It is stated thatas far as possible a pay-as-you-gopolicy has been adopted, but $200,-000,000. has already been borrowed with further substantial Ioans in the offing which indicates that the war financing will for the present tax theefforts of the Dominion to producemoney both by taxation of the severestkind as well as heavv demands on thesavings of the people. On the otherhand, there may be some relief in diminution of the sums required for wheat bonuses, railway losses, unem­ployment relief, and similar expendi­tures which of late years have takenheavy toll of the revenues of thecountry.Crops on the whole have been more bountiful, and the return to the farmer Will be far in excess of last year. The forestry industries are in the vanguard of the recovery movementincreasing their production by about19 per cent.The sea fisheries have been more productive in the portion of 1939 for which information is available. Recovery in industrial activity waademonstrated after the early .monthsof the year. Operations ut recentmonths are comparable with the highlevels of 1929 and 1937. Construction records for 1939 record some betterment over 1938. Contem­ plated new construction reported for the first time is nearly >272 million inthe first nine months against >232mi. Jbn, suggesting an increasedmomentum.It has been customary to add para­ graphs dealing with the present and future conditions in the United King­dom, in the United States, and World conditions generally. You will realizethat any such attempted analysis wouldbe presumptuous and probably value­ less. at the present time. I might devote a few words to the fnture effectof the War upon the financial affairs ofCanada as I see them. There seems The Staff of the Bank now total1,417 as compared with 1,432 a yearago. In addition we have 20 membersof the Staff who have enlisted, absent on indefinite leave of absence, positions being assured to them on their return.I wish to take the opportunity ofrecording my appreciation of themanner in which every member has whole-heartedly supported the interests of the Bank and the efforts of the Management.

The snnual municipal nomination meeting for the Town of Ingersoll, was held in the town hall on Friday evening, November 24th. There was only a small attendance and the in­ terest shown a few years ago was lacking. Town Clerk-Treasurer Rob­ ert McNiven opened the nomination meeting at 7.30 o’clock and nomin­ ations were received up until 8.30 p.m. Six names were proposed for Mayor, eight for the three vacant seats on the Town Council, three for Public School Trustee in Ward One, and three for Public Utilities Cem- misrioner. In Ward Two, J. Ferris David was given an acclamation for School Trustee as was Elmer J. Chisholm in Ward Three. At the close of nomination, Clerk McNiven asked the meeting to appoint a chairman to preside for the even­ ing while the various nominees were given the privilege of addressing the electors present. J. Ferris David was Selected as chairman on motion of Archie W. Clark and J. Verne Bu­ chanan. The first speaker. Mayor Alex. II. Edmonds reviewed the work of the council during 1939, stating that Ing­ ersoll was in a fine financial position. He congratulated the chairman of the various council committees and paid tribute to the work of the Parks Board. He announced that he was re­ tiring from the Mayoralty and would not seek a third term but would likely offer himself for Public Utilities Com­ missioner. Councillors J. G. Murray, George Preston, Stanley J. Smith, Archie W. Clark, Thomas J. Morrison and Sid­ ney H. Underwood gave an account of the activities oUhe committees of which they were chairman during 1939. John A. Bowman, chairman of the Ingersoll Public Utilities Commission, gave a brief summary of the position of the Hydro and Waterworks De­ partments of the Ingersoll Public Utilities Commission. He stated that during the past month the peak load for hydro had been the highest in Ingersoll’s history and the Commis- rion faced* the purchase of another large transformer. He stated his name would be on the ballot and if the public felt he had served well he would appreciate their support once again. Elmer J. Chisholm, vice-chairman and Trustee J. Ferris David, chair­ man of the Ingersoll Board of Edu­ cation, expressed their thanks for the confidence of the electors as ex­ pressed by the acclamations accorded them. Both briefly touched upon the administration of the business of the Ingersoll Schools jnd pointed out that Ingersoll had fine schools, good teachers and migh£ well be proud of success that was being achieved by the pupils. The chairman announced a substantial surplus on the present year’s operations. Ex-Mayor J. Verne Buchanan spoke as a nominee for the Mayor­ alty. He referred to the two by-lavs that the electors would be asked to vote on Monday next, and urged the defeat of both. He made a strong plea for greater community co-oper­ ation if Ingersoll was to once again come to the front. He deplored >he lack of interest in the nomination meeting, particularly on the part of the manufacturers and business men. He said he would not be a candidate as he felt that Dr. J. G. Murray was entitled to the "honor and would make Ingersoll a good mayor. Councillor Dr. J. G. Murray spoke briefly and announced that he would offer himself as a candidate for mayor. Following Councillor Murray, Councillor Stanley J. Smith, announ­ced* that although he had declared his candidature for the office of mayor, he would not oppose Dr. Murray and at this juncture congratulated Dr. Murray as Mayor elect of Ingersoll. Councillor Smith made several sug­ gestions as to how business might be bettered in IngeraoU and stated that if he offered himself for Council he would try and do his best as he had in the past. He also mentioned the heavy work he had as chairman of the Direct Relief Committee and pointed out that over $16,000.00 had been spent to take care of relief in Ingersoll already this year. The nominees for council who de­ clared themselves were Councillor ^Gtnege Preston and James N, Hen­ derson. * Kenneth R. Daniel said he would give the matter consideration nnd there wns a possibility that his name might bo on the ballot. Mr. Bu­ chanan and Mr. John A. Weir raid they would not make a decision until Saturday. Councillor George Preston reviewed his stand on the matter of trying to get lower rates for Ingersoll and posted a list of comparative fig­ ures of rates in all other Western Ontario centres. He appealed Lot the support of the electors in order that he might continue his fight to get lower gas rates, .which he felt sure wa.< poMihle.

FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL TRUSTEE Monday night at 'the Capitol Theatre, Woodstock, “Foto-Nite," was introduced to Woodstock theatre­ goers by Pete Barnes of Texas. The person selected at this unusual enter­ tainment, Miss Vehna Todd of Ing­ ersoll, was not present at the theatre and therefore lost the opportunity of selling her photograph for $35. The theatre manager called on Miss Todd and presented her with a cheque for $1 for having signed a "Foto-Nite” registration card. However, if Miss Todd had been at the theatre, she'would have sold her photo for $35. The entertainment is a weekly attraction at the Capitol Theatre every Monday night along .with the regular show. Next Monday night, Dec. 4th, $50 will be given.

THANK YOU W ARD TWO ELECTORS! Your continued support as indicated in my re­ election by acclamation as^your representative on the Board of Education, is sincerely appreciated BANK OF MONTREAL REPORTS RECORDASSETS AS RESULT OF BUSINESSEXPANSION AND PUBLIC FINANCING Reflecting the continued expansion of industrial operations, greater agri­ cultural and mineral production, en­ larged business activities, and partic­ ipation in government financing, the122nd annual statement of the Bank of Montreal for the year ending Oc­ tober 31, shows a substantial growth in assets and a moderate increase in earnings. Total assets of $1,026,508,- 867, an increase of $151,252,539, have in fact reached the highest level in the banks’ history and represent a new high mark in Canadian banking. Profits of $3,462,440 showed an in­ crease of $64,056 after the paymentof government taxes of $1,198,413— which were higher by $45,795—and were the equivalent of 4.54 per cent on the capital, rest and undivided profits, which compare® with 4.46 per cent in the preceding year; the increase in relation to total earnings is about 2 per cent.The growth in the bank’s assets is more then accounted for by an in­ crease in deposits payable on demand and after notice of $151,752,105 to a total of $914,909,050. The changesin the notes in circulation, bills pay­ able, and other items in the liabilities to the public are relatively smallAs against the expansion in dep­ osits there is an increase of $48,708,- 634 in the bank's cash assets to $201,243,716 and of $122,268,748 in liquid assets to $742,603,867, whilecurrent loans in Canada at $257,261,- 729 are larger by $29,558,280. Apart from substantial holding* in cash at$94,641,456, and money on deposit in other banka at $77,357,49?, hold­ ings of government and other bondsand debentures, of which "the greater portion comdste of gilt-edge securities which mature at early dates," are up by $76,434,436 to a total of $517,171,255. This, together with the increase in deposits, may be taken in pail as reflecting the bunk's participation in the recent $200,000,- 000 Federal Government loan taken up by the Canadian banks generally. The expansion of current loans is a highly satisfactory indication of the purt the bank hri* played in expand­ ing industrial and general business activities. The effect of the greater business activity has also been toincrease the bank’s deposits from the public. Of the bank’s total assets, shown at over $1,000,009,000, the quickly available resources of $742,603,867 are equal to 78.29 per cent of all liabilities to the public. This com­ pares with 77.80 per cent in the pre­ceding year. The net result of the year’s oper­ ations, after the payment of the us­ual dividends to shareholders and appropriation of $500,000 for bank premises, was to leave $82,446 to be added to the balance of /profit and loss; this compared with $18,390 in the previous year. The total balance in this account now stands at $1,265,. 700. REV. CLIFFORD A.

CHRISTMAS MAILS FOR OVERSEAS On account of the international situation, particulars in regard to sailing dates of ships carrying mails to other countries cannot be announ­ ced and it is not possible to adver­ tise the latest opportunities for the despatch of Christmas mails for des­ tinations which require ocean trans­ portation. Some delay in the transmission of mails to such countries may occur o,wing to restrictions in overseas transport services and members of the public are reminded that no in­ formation can be given regarding the despatch of malis for places abroad, but all are urged to post their cor­ respondence as early as possible. It is desirable that money orders for payment overseas should be procured at the earliest possible date in order to assure payment to pay­ ers before Christmas. Now that mailings for Great Brit-,ain and overseas countries ate ap­ proaching the peak of the Christmas rush period, attention is directed to the following, points, the non-obser­ vance of which causes embarrassment to the Canadian despatching ex­ change offices where the extra work is very heavy at this time. The pub­ lic are asked to assist the postal offices by endeavouring to see that these points are observed. Mark the words "Letter Rate", on any packages prepaid at letter rate. Small boxes of' cake should be prepaid at either letter rate or par­ cel post rate. These should bo well packed. In practically every mail, cake is found loose in the bag. Calendars, lithographs, engrav­ ings and photograph* for Italy in packages weighing over 3 Mi ounces must be prepaid at parcel post rates. Samples, photographs and printed matter may be insured if prepaid at parcel post rates. Parcels for Northern Ireland, (Counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone), should be prepaid at parcel post rates to Great Britain. 'The contents of all parcels should be described as fully as possible onthe customs declaration. Incomplete or incorrect entries may result in the confiscation of parcels in the countries of destination.

She sat very still looking out over the quiet water and at last she said, “If he is willing to take you back, you may have him. I shall write him tonight releasing him."

As be approached the land­ ing, a full sense of his desolation swept upon him. Dosing the days of his romance he had loved the island more than ever. Every tree, every flower had been glorified by the thought of Anne’s joy in it And now he mustput it all behind him. He was plan­ning definitely to go away—as faras he could get by train and boatand airplane—from the sight of thethings which reminded him of his hopes and dreams. As he trod the narrow path be­neath the trees the world was stilland lovely beneath the noonday sun.The laurel gave its perfume and the birds gave their songs. Suddenly his heart stood still On the path in front of him lay awoman's handkerchief—a wisp ofsheer white. What woman had beenhere in his absence? Who but Anne?Yet there was no boat at the land­ing. Could she have come and gone? He went with quick steps to the house. In the dining room King hadput a tray on the table.

Later they would take a slow Baltimore boat to the shores Of France, and then on to Brittany. Filled thus with her thoughts of her own wifehood.

These and other figures were presented at the annual meeting of shareholders at Toronto on Wednesday, Novem­ ber 22nd. Comparison with the bank’s pres­ ent position, and that of the Domin­ ion, in the opening years of the last war was made by the president, Mr. A. E. Phipps, in his annual addres* In 1915, the Imperia) Bank’s total assets were >75,000,000; they are now >187,000,000. Total deposits now >161,000,000, were then only >55,000,000; loans, then >48,000,000, are now >80,000,000; holdings of | Dominion and Provincial Government securities, less than one million in 1915, are now seventy million* Mr, Phipps referred to substantial improvement in economic conditions as a result of urgent demand for supplie* better crops and the pros­ pect of greater returns to far­ mer. Indications were that war fin­ ancing would for the present make heavy demands through taxation and calls on the savings of the people. Combined total assets of Canada's chartered banks had risen in the past year from >3,300,000,000 to >3,- 605,000,000. The Generad Manager, Mr. H. T. Jaffray, pointed out that of the >20,- 007,476 increase in deposits, approx­ imately half was in the balance due to the Dominion Government, J>1,- 888,000 in the balance due to Provin­ cial Governments, >3,699,000 in de­ posits by the public not bearing in­ terest, and >4,250,000 in deposits by the public bearing interest.
