Sliwphvrdson A Shephcrdsnn, auctioneers From the Farmer's Sun Nearly «ll the coulitry ptpert have rai-od their subscription price from tL^O i to 82 per year. This has been nude i.ec'itsary throujth the increased cost of produc'iuD. In common with the city dailies snd the trade and class publica- ' titjiis, the countiy papers have been | bn uglit face to face with a very serious ; situation and have been forced by self i pre ervation to increase iheir subtcrip- lion price. It is to bo hoped that n > iDorri of the country weeklies will be forced to suspend publication. Already there has hern a lengthy list of pipers forced into iho hands of the receiver. Nu matter how etticient city papers may be, they can never take the place of i the country weekly. There is a peif-on- 1 ility and a flavor about ihu home town J paper which oaiiuot be furnikhed by any I other puolicaticn on earih. To the people | of the district it is guide, philosopiier | and fiicnd, and to those living away I from the old home centre its weekly â-  Cuming is welcomed like a message from «i; absent friend. | Fur ihe must part the country weeklies i have dune a real service in fighting the i battles of the oummunity they serve. They see that the interist of the small town and of the farm are linked up to- 1 gether, and for Ihe mott part they have been warm suppnrteis of ihe Modern ( Movement to give the common people ai larger voice in the affairs of the nation. I A strange arlic'e was picked up on ( Mr. Mainland's faiin, 3rd con, Wett Luther, the other day that is causing some speculation. It is rough, uneven, i about 10 inches lorn; and possibly 4 - inches wide and about the same in depih. It: looks iks though two pieces of muienal had been fu^ed by great haat, the seam showing distinctly down the centre, while from each side rib like formations set out in irregular fashion. It Is not pure metal, and too heavy for stone, and some suggest it may be of nu'teoric composition. Whatever it may i be will likely be determined by scieutisCa ! in Toronto to whom it is being forward- ! ed. Strange to say this is the only piece found and h.ad been noticed on tho aur- i face for a couple of years or more, till tho ditching crew gave it more than . passing notice. â€" Grand Valley Star.

STINSJN | Reports Record Progress Marked Eipansion id Assistance Bank Has Givin to Canadian Trade aud Commerce. Savings Deposits Show Large Incrciise. The cluds sssociaiiuD eRtablished{by The Merchants Bank of Canada with the ezpausiou of the business and industry of the Dominion is strikingly shown by the ssmi-annual statement of the Bunk, to October 30th, 1920. The MerehsDte dank, with its com- plete organization throughout the Dominion, id known for the spfcial assistance tu Browing and expanding businesiea snd the report now issued shows that it has been particularly active in this direction during the past year. This ia reflected by the increase in current leans and dis- counts to cusinroers to flt0,515,403, as compared with $102,346,614, a gain of J18, 168,889. Increase in Capital. With a view of increasing its facllitits to the farmers the. mer- chants and the manufacturers of the conn;ry, the Bank has provided for an incteaie in capita! and as a result the paid-up capital now stands at $9,956,970, an increase to date of $1,614,434. At tho same time the leserve has been inoreased by $1,400,- 000 and now stands at $8,400,000. Bo: h these amounts will be further increased by the instalments still outsitandiDg. A further substantial gain in sav- ings drp»sit8 indicates ibab the Can- adian people are practising hauits of thrift. During the year the savings deposits of- the banks have -been drawn (iD heavily to meet payments for the last Victory Loan campaign. Notwithstanding this development, the Bank shows a gain fn sayings deposits of $4,688,040 and total deposits now stand at $170,634,061, up from $166,006,015. As a result of the expanaion, the total assets established a sew biyb record by oros.ing the $200,000,000 mark. They now total $209,450,448, against $198,506,672. Shareholders will take particular pride in the bteady expansion shown by the Bank. This development has been the result entirely of the round- ing out of its organization and servica throughout the eouutry. W'ith more active trade conditiuns. the Bank is now ill a position to reflect the benefit of the complete organization which has been gradually Luilt up over the entire Dominion.
