The money careâ€" fully put away by you and your neighbours in savings accounts. The money you could have spent today but wanted to keep safely against some future need. The businessman‘s money for use in his normal operations. ‘There are more than 4,846,000 bank deposit accounts, savings and current. Within these two classes the great majority of deposits are small or of moderate amount. â€" @ But you‘d be wrong if you assumed from this, that the rest of the deposits are owned by the few! Quite the contrary! The railways, for instance, have deposits in the chartered banks â€"and that indirectly includes the whole population of the Dominion. The trade unions have deposits. Millions of policyâ€"holders share in the ownership of insurance companies‘ deposits. «[ And don‘t overlook the deposits of wheat pools; farm coâ€"operatives; churches; municipalities and municipal hydro commissions, school districts; school children‘s penny bank savings deposited with the chartered banks; and commercial and mining corporaâ€" tions with very wide lists of shareholders, large and small, all over Canada. Truly, money on deposit in Canada‘s chartered banks is owned, in fact, by you and your fellowâ€"Canadians.

ALL FOR THEN THE DURHAM REVIRW The Quarkum Arvicw cf the war has been wristen by Serâ€" geant J. J. Rea of Lancashire, who went through the last war and was in the recent fighting in France. His poem is an inspiring tribute to his mother What will you give me, Fngland, ‘That I may beat the foo ? A host of ships, a host of planes, A host of guns, I know; The might of dauntless fighting me Of women at their posts; The wealth of mighty Empire ? These are no idle boasts. ‘All these you give me, England, That I may reach the goal; But, God! how meagre are these gifts Without a valiant soul. What will you sive me, England. ‘That nations may be free ? A sea of blood, a sea of teatrs, War‘s wrath and misery; The cries of stricken, weeping wives, Of children at their knees. ‘The pillaged, peaceful homesteads, From whence our people flee ? All this you give me, England, War‘s grim and bloody toil. O, God! give me the strength to bear; O, Gcd ! inspire my soul. What will you give me Engl:md,i When victory is mine ? The right to live, the right to love, And liberty divine; The joy of countless human souls, ‘The downtroddenand the slave; Man‘s joy at his deliverance, From tyranny‘s foul grave ?
