Several announcements of special | interest were made both by Sir Her- !bert Holt, president, and C. E. Neill, | general manager. In his addréss, Sir | Herbert Holt gave a complete review of the outstanding features of the growth in Canada's trade and industry end took the view that during the past year there had been steady and sub- stantial improvement in almost every department of Canada's business life. Discussing the necessity of the re- ducing of all taxes, Sir Herbert said: "What Canada needs {s to follow the example set by the United States in the reduction of all taxes and in the cost of government, so that by econo- mies due to the efficiency of adminis- tration we may secure a substantial cial loans in Canada, This reflected business activity arising from the country's growing prosperity. Referring to the constructive co operation the Bank had been in a pos!- tion to give towards the development lof Canada's foreign trade, Mr. Neill said in part: "Since this bank first commenced to establish branches abroad over twenty-five years ago, we have ac- quired an intimate knowledge of many foreign markets.

In fact, the making of the jam is only a part, and quite a small part, of the whole paraphernalia of a jam factory. The processes of, bottling and canning, of making the cans and labeling them, together with the ma- chinery required for these purposes, make the actual jam-making appear to be an unimportant part of these huge works: at the right time. The bottles them- selves have already been thoroughly cleansed in another machine, having been washed in boiling water. As the bottles are filled they are taken from the machine by another girl and covers put on. First a tissue paper is placed on the jam and then a patent cover is added. The bottle is then placed in another machine which extracts any air remaining in it, so' that the jam will remain perfect- Imagine to yourself that old eart) ly fresh for an indefinite period. horse coming in with a cart-load of} The cover which is used is one plums: He pulls up) at one side of, which was invented by one of the the f. where the fruit is un-|engineering staff of the firm and is 4 also solders it together.

Wherever man has tried to possess others he has lost possession of him- self. That is the price inevitably paid by any class or section of the com- munity which seeks to dominate the lives and restrict the liberty of its fel- lows. . . THE PACKING ROOM.

From a mile away one could see the mass like a great shifting, shadowy ballcon, now densely packed, now bursting out at the top or the side like a waving flag. At last, when the muster was com- plete, at some given signal, they sank silently on to the island. A minute or two were spent in finding their perdh- es, and then arose a wild din, a sort of evening hymn, every starling shrieking its loudest. After a few minutes again, as though by a signal, the noise suddenly stopped, not gradu- ally, but like steam shut sharply off. The starlings in their flight are a very satisfactory kind of community. They are healthy, sensible, greedy and strong. None of them ever seem out of sorts or out of spirits. ... They do not seem to be conscious of the pressure of social problems. They are on a splendid level of common sense and activity.
