THAT'S THE WAY you want your money matters
handled. That's the way your bank handles them.
When you deposit money, cash a cheque, make, a
money transfer, arrange a loan, you want it done
speedily, efficiently . and above all, confidentially.
It is only natural that your bank should work
that way for you, for privacy is traditional in
Canadian banking. In any base, the competition of
other banks assures it.
Canada's ten chartered banks—competitive,
efficient, private—provide for millions of customers a

OBITUARY
J. H. Holloway
James H. Holloway, ninety-three,
Horticulturist and landscape artist,
who frequently was called the Luther
Burbank of Long Island, died at his
home 48 Dosoris Lane, Glen Cove, L.
, on Wednesday, May 4th,
Mr, Holloway, who succeeded in
growing thirty-eight distinct varie-
ties of apples on ,the same tree by
grafting, worked in his two-acre gar-
den as usual. About noon he went in
to take a nap, from which he did not
awaken.
;
I native of England, he came to
the United States as a boy and work-
ed on farms on the outskirts of Brook-
lyn and Queens. Ile became known for
p his artistry in landscape design and
when the late Charles Pratt develop:
led his large estate on the north shore
lot' Long Island, Mr. Holloway was
employed to supervise the landscaping.
He was the superintendent on the
Pratt estates, for over thirty years,
In his own garden, Mr, Holloway
conducted many horticultural experi-
ments, of which his apple tree was the
most widely known result, He suc-
ceeded also in growing several species
of pears en Baldwin and fall pippin
apple trees. Although the cross pro-
clued good fruit he said he never
succeeded in obtaining a finished un-
ion of the pear and apple, He had a
theory that the juiciest fruit was to be
found growing close to the ground,
and his apple trees, because of his
'methods of pruning and cultural, re-
sembled bushes more than trees.
Although Mr. Holloway tried to re-
tire, forty years ago, he was in con-
stant demand as an adviser in horti-
cultural problems, Many colleges and
agricultural schools regularly sent him
branches, leaves or fruit for his opin-
ion on the ancestry and the success
of crosses. He did considerable land-
scape work at Tuxedo Park, N. Y.,
and laid out the landscaping at the
Engineers Golf Club, at, Roslyn, L.I.
His own garden was the despair of
Long Island's 'amateur and profes-
sional gardeners,
His only survivor is his second wife,
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Holloway, form-
erly of Wingham, Funeral service was
held at St, Paul's Episcopal Church,
Glen Cove, at 2,30 p.m., on Friday,
May 6th,

Although six diamonds is quite bid-
able, the contract was three no trump
at most tables.
Probably the first three bids were
uniform in nearly all cafes, namely,
an opening bid of two diamonds 'by
North, two no trump by South, and a
rebid by North of three diamonds. If
at any table North made the poor r&
bid of three no trump instead of three
diamonds, that would close the bid-
ding. Otherwise, the crucial point is
