Sterling Kaiak la Making Safe and Steed , t'rogram to profits of 'the Sterling Bank of Canada. after making all necessary de- ductions, an.o sled to 8213 632.14 in the year ending April 30th. 419. as compared with 8186 120.7 2 in the pre- vious year. The earnings for the past year were at the rate of 17.51 per cent. un the average paid-up capital, so that after paying a dividend of ti per cent., amounting to 873,146.06, and placing the sum of 850.001 .in the reserve fund, (bringing this fund up to 8400,000), there was kit a substantial amount to follow out the banks' usual policy of writing down its assets in a consefvative way. For this purpose the sum of $1'0,000 was set aside -150.000 of which will' be used tor general depreciation and $20,(110 for reduction oat bank premises account, which this year stands at 8374,471.83. This left a balance of 840,909.97 in profit and loss to carry forward. The directors feeling that the results of the past year's business warranted some recognition being now given to the shareholders. it has been decided to in- crease the dividend on the capital stock by 1 per cent.. making tt 7 per cent., to date from May 1st, 1919. "Our total assets." said Mr. G. F. Somers, the president, in his remarks to the shareholders, "now stand at 819,430,- 684.52. and have been actively but con- servatively employed. In this connec- tion I want you to observe our cash assets. which amount to $3,730,579.35, equal to 21 per cent. of our liabilities to the public. 'Our total readily available reserves stand at $12.354.919.98 or 75 48 per cent. of our deposits and more than 63 per cent. of our total liabilities. including our capital and reserve. a position of strength and stability which induces confidence and to which I attribute the successful position we find ourselves in today. "Amongst these assets we hold the large sum of S8.101:06.16 in bonds, of which $6,863,258.45 are bonds of the Dominion, Provincial and British Gov- ernments; the balance being almost en tirely Canadian municipal. bonds. A large proportion of these are of the war loan issues, and at present prices would provide a very substantial profit. I look for a further advance in the value of these securities. 'Our total current loans amount to 1/6.48.5,849.15. a listle higher than last year. rhes is not due to reluctance on our part to make advances. as we have I sought toencou age loans for productive I purposes. but rather to the general pros- ' penty. Our surplus funds have therefore i been ievested in first-class and easily marketabis bonds, and we now find our- ' selves in the excellent position of being ready to lake advantage of new business ' offering, as conditions readjust them- ; selves. "I need hardly point out that as these , moneys become employed in this way the yield on our funds will materially in- crease. 1. 'Our deposits have increased by more than 83,000.000; 81,300,000 consists of saving bank act ounts. This is remark- able in view of the heavy withdrawals ' made for subscriptions to the Victory loans. These withdrawals have all been made up and the deposits stand higher 1 than ever." •I!

Boot and Shoe Trade Showing Great Activity. ;From The Toronto Mad and Empire ) .v, Tl.. 1......1 r..w Mon real, May and shoe trade is now entering upon a period of great activity, and the majority of factories expect to run all through the summer, which is rather unusual. The leather trade, also, is in an exceptional position. Prices have advanced sharply recently, advances of from 4 to 5 cents per pound in hides have been common, and some upper leathers are reported to have gone up 10 cents per pound. Con- sidering the trend of affairs it is not sur- prising that activity that has been under- lying conditions here in these trades should have considerably increased. al- though prices have all touched record figures and still incline towards further unheard-of levels. One principal feature of the boot and shoe trade is the fact that a considerable number of the shoe and boot orders that were secured abroad for domestic account will be unsuitable for acceptance by Can- adian manufacturers owing to the fact that. due to the sharp. sudden • advances that have occurred in all the materials entering into the manufacture of boots and shoes. prices that were considered good a month ago are now deemed utter- ly impossible. The European demand for footwear continues unabated. The United States is being heavily drawn upon to furnish supplies, and a large share of business is also coming in the direction of this country. Tne adjustment of exports and imports in leathers and bides is expected to equalize the market to such an extent that there will be a decline when it is ac- complished. Domestic manufacturers are anxious for European business, but the uncertainty of price trends is a miti- gating factor in the lodging of any ex- tended contracts, while on their side manufacturers are disinclined to any excessive buying. There appears to be slight likelihood of leather prices receding. or that the supply will meet the demand within the next six months or more. There is a shortage of all medium to high grades. and prices, although very high, are trend- ing upwards. • patience and Christian fortitude.

Every woman's health is peculiarly de- pendent upon the condition of her blood. Far too many women sutler with head- aches, pains in the back, poor appetite, weak digestion. palpitation o1 the heart, a constant feeling of wear ness, shortness toof breath, pal or and nervousness. Of course all these symptoms may not be present in any particular case. they are merely a warning that the blood n out of order. and that it is thin and watery. and I if you note any of these symptoms in I your own case. you should 'lose no time in taking the proper steps to enrich and � purify the blood. Anaemia -poverty of the,blood-is a'most insiduous disease and if allowed to run will end in a complete , breakdown of the system. Dr. Williams' I Pink Pills are, beyond doubt, the greatest blood making tonic 'offered the public today. For more than a quarter of a century tbey have been the standby of hundreds of thousands of people in all parts of the world. No other medicine has ever achieved such world-wide popu lartty, and the reason is that this medi- cine does what is claimed for t;, conches and purifies the blood. thus bringing new strength to every organ and every nerve in the body. In this way Dr. Williams' Pink Pills bring new health to weak, de- spondent people. Among the many who speak highly of th t medicine is Mrs. Louts D. Larsh. Windsor. Ont., who says: "It would be impossible for me to recom- mend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too highly. Some years ago 1 was very thin and pale. I suffered many of the symptoms of anaemia, and always felt tired, depressed and weak. i had tried several mediates. but they did not seem to help me. Then acting on the advice of a friend, I began • taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before 1 had used half a dozen boxes 1 was actually feeling like a new person and had gained nine pounds in weight. 1 con- tinued taking the pills until 1 had taken a dozen boxes, and from that time 1 have always enjoyed the best of health. 1 freely write you this letter in the hope that some woman in need as I was w,ll see it and be benefited as I have been." Most of the troubles that affect man kind are due to impoverished blood, and will promptly disappear if the blood is built up and renewed. If you are ailing, give this greatest of tonic medicines a fair trial and at will not disappoint you. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be procured through any dealer in medicines, or will be sent by mail at 50c a box or six boxes for 82.50 by writing the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont LEEBURN.

' The Agricultural Department. through the county representative, Mr. S. B. Stothers. is conducting a series of expert- ments with the Green tlountain potato throughout the county. These potatoes, are brought from Northern Ontario and the experts are of the belief that they will yield better results here than crops grown from our own seed. it is a curious fact that potatoes yield better from Sm mature seed than from seed that has been matured. This. and the fact that owing to the freshness of the land the seed is clean, makes the planting of Northern Ontano potatoes here advantageous. The growers making this test just plant the new seed. giving it the same attention as their main crop, and will report results to the representative. -Clinton News -Re- cord. NOW LISTEN, MY LAD !
