was not equal to the strain, and he
passed away, we understand, while
under the anesthetic. The deceased
was a quiet and industrious man and

quet of Sweetheart roses. Miss Mary
Barkley was her sister’s bridesmaid,
and was- charming in palest pink can
ton crepe with cream lace, and car
ried Ophelia roses. L. G. Smith, of
MacLennan, cousin of the groom, was
best man. Immediately after the cere
mony a wedding dinner was served at
the home of the bride’s parents and
in the evening a reception was held
in the Orange Hall at Echo Bay.
The groom’s gift to the bride was
a handsome opposum choker, to the

Later Mr. and Mrs. Smith left for
their home in the East, the bride
travelling in Balkan suit of navy poi-
ret twill, with rose taffeta hat.

less than a year old) got there all
right, taking just two weeks on the
way. Many had misgivings as to the

surprising. Whitley says he is going

I SILVERWOOD’S ON SOUND BASIS
People of Lucknow and vicinity will
be pleased to know that the Silver-
wood’s Creamery enterprise at Luck
now is making excellent progress, in
fact has quite surpassed expectations,
both in development and earnings.
Though only in course of being estab
lished, the management was able to
earn a dividend on the total capital
stock of $50,000 for the first 6 months
of operation. Of the stock $23,000 of
8% cumulative preferred, was sold
last March and the balance is now
being sold.
Of Mr. Silverwood, who is at the
head of the business in London, the
Financial Post recently had the fol
lowing to say:
“Silverwood is not only a man of
real business ability, but knows the
practical side of the businesss from
ye^rs of experience, farming and
otherwise. He has associated himself
with some of the most substantial
business men in the city as officers
and directors.”
The financial critic of Toronto Sat
urday Night, having been asked for
information regarding “Silverwoods
Ltd.” by a prospective investor, made
the following reply: “Silverwoods
Ltd., London, Ont., have a good re
putation, the business management is
reported to be excellent, it has at
tained success in the past and a spec-,
ulation in its 8 per cent, stock has
therefore these hopeful features.”
And the “Farmers’ Sun,” having
been asked regarding the Company,
said: “Silverwoods Ltd.—This Com
pany has been doing a large and in
creasing business for several years,
and stock in the company appears to
be a good purchase.
“The outstanding feature which
speaks well for the Company is that
the Board of Directors contains sev-
era lvery good men, and they are
heavy stockholders n the Company.
“The Company, we understand,
paid a dividend of 10% last year,
7% on the preferred stock and ap
proximately 3% on the common, al
though the dividend may have been
higher even than this.
“In view of the foregoing, it ap
pears that investment in this stock
might turn out very favorably.”
These expressions of opinion by ex
pert and disinterested authorities is
certainly encouraging, and it is to be
hoped that the Lucknow business will
get every possible assistance locally.
If it prospers, as to all appearance
it will, it cannot fail to be a good
thing for the country round-about,
for the town and for the sharehold
ers.
CLEANING OUT
THE BOOTLEGGERS
To pay a fine of $4#0.00 and spen'd
four months in jail, on jail fare, was
the sentence passed upon Wm. Stan
ley, of Kinloss Towmship, by County
Magistrate McNab here on Tuesday
of this week.
Three charges of having and sell
ing liquor contrary to . the Ontario
Temperance Act were laid against
Stanley by Inspector White who w*as
assisted in the prosecution by D.
Robertson, K. C., Constable Blood, of
Bruce, and Pellow, of Huron. Stanley
did not appear at court and. made no
defence, which was tantamount, to
admitting the charges. A warrant for
his arrest was issued, but he likely
has taken “French leave.” Only one
charge was tried here on Tuesday.
The other two will be heard at the
Magistrate’s office in Walkerton Tues
day of next week. The conviction here
on Tuesday was the second for Stan
ley, hence the severity of the sen
tence.
Stanley has long been under sus
picion and has been a bad one for
the officers of the law to get. His
activities will now be over for a time,
as he must either keep out of the
province or serve his time, and it
makes little difference to the com
munity which he does.
Constable Douglas reports condi
tions in Lucknow and vicinity fairly
good of late, and with Stanley out
of the way the territory should be
fairly clean, txy£ or three other sus
pects having recently gone to other
parts.

The Molsons Bank
THIRD OLDEST IN CANADA
The Molsons Bank is the third old
est chartered bank in Canada. Bank
jf Montreal and Bank of Nova Scotia
ranking before it in this respect. For
sixty-eight years it has been doing
business, and during that time it has
paid dividends without a break and
has never cut its capital, or its divi
dend r,ate.
The fiscal year of the institution
ends this month, and despite the fact
that this seems to be the banks’ year
of reckoning with respect to the dis
tressing business conditions of 1920-
21, the directors of The Molsons Bank
will not find it necessary to write off
reserves for the absorption of losses.
This enviable condition is'due largely
to the fact that the bank is nobwide-
ly represented in those sections of
the country, where the alternate per
iods of inflation and depression took
the heaviest toll. It is to be remem
bered that the bank has only five
western branches, and that these,
with the one exception of Camrose,
are established in the urban centres.
Another reason will be found in the
fact that the policy of writing off
losses as they nave become apparent
has been followed by the directorate
to the end that they are not now fac
ed with the necessity of writing off
an accumulation of losses. This holds
true of losses incurred in the ship
building industry in British Columbia
and others. And with respect to loss
es the business slump of 1921, with
its attendant topling of commodity
and inventory prices, brought about
situations which made losses by all
banks inevitable.
The Molsons Bank is one of those
institutions which have built up a re
serve greater than its capital, and its
proportion of five million rest to four
millions paid-up capital is exceeded
only by the Bank of Nova Scotia. In
the statement presented to the Gov
ernment for the month of July, total
assets of the bank were shown at
$71,883,974, as compared with total
liabilities of $62,312,592. The state
ment showed an increase to both de
mand and notice deposits in the face
of a decline of such deposits in the
country generally.
