I lend my arm to all who say "I

Each morning gives thee wings to fly

Each night a star to guide thy feet

Tho mountain or the Rigi, in Switzer-
land, commands a panorama of 4013
miles in circumference, which includes
the lovely lake of Lucerne, and is un-
surpassed for beauty. The Rigi was
known to only a few travelers in the
eighteenth century, but after the peace
of 181E it became a resort for the curi-
ous, the first dwelling having been
erected in 1814. Now many hotels are
in a flourishing condition, and it is
popular even in winter. There is a
little chapel, with Its walls covered
with votive tablets, for many have been
the victims in the ice gorges of this
lofty peak.

The newly laid eggs are taken care of
by the male, which has a sort of fold

the "flaps" he keeps the eggs until the
young are hatched and sufficiently
grown to take care of theffiselves.
While in the "flap" they are fed by the
mother, upon whom falls the duty or

E. B. OSLER, President,
C. A. BOGERT, General Manager.
In the hist Annual Report your Directors made reference to the
general financial and commercial depression then existing, which con-
dition was much intensified through the outbreak of the war in
Europe in July last, necessitating the exercise of unusual care in ad-
ministrating the affairs of the Bank. it has been our endeavor to
fully provide for the requirements of deserving borre\vers, particu-
larly those engaged in producing and marketing the foodstuffs of the'
country, at the same time maintaining strong cash reserves and
liquidity of assets. This policy has been satisfactorily carried out.
The earnings were somewhat smaller than in 1913, but justified
the declaration of the usual dividends and bonus after ample provision
had been made for all accounts of a doubtful character and for possi-
ble depreciation in the value of assets.
The Directors feel that you 'will approve of certain unusual dis-
bursements that were made from the profits of the year, namely, con-
tributions to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, the Canadian Red Cross
Society, ati:d the Belgian Relief Fund, reported in detail in the State-
ment.
It wilt:be observed that the issue of new Capital Stock of the 15th
of February, 1913, is now fully paid up, the Capital Account standing
on 31st December, 1914, at $6,000,000, and the Reserve Fund at
$7,000,000. ,
A notable event in the history of the Bank has taken place since
the. Shareholders last met, in the completion of the new Head Office
Building, which was occupied in November last. The results obtain-
ed may be• considered highly satisfactory. Allowance has been made
for the natural growth of the Bank's business, and every facility has
been provided for the convenience of. its customers; furthermore,
DRINK MUST GO.
To the Editor:-
The
ditor:The Editors of the Technical World
say, "Emperors, business men, social
reformers, are all agreed upon one
thing; alcoholic drinks work positive
harm. A single glass of beer lessens a
man's efficiency seven per cent.
Imagine then what larges quantities of
wine, gin or whiskey will do. The up-
to-date employer will not keep men
who drink even in moderation. The
Secretary of the Navy will not allow
them on our warships; every command-
er in the field today in Europe is lead-
ing a sober army. Everywhere the
brains of the world recognize that alco-
holic liquors weaken both muscle anti
mind power."
For many years the people have been
demanding of the Provincial Govern-
ment that the use of alcoholic liquors
for beverage purpores be prohibited,
but so far without any result worth
mentioning from either of the political
parties. Local prohibition wherever it
has been given a fair trial has proved
to be a great blessing t6 the community
but is handicapped by some wet muni-
cipality close at hand. But even under
those adverse circumstances it has been
such a benefit that the people would
tot go back to license except in a very
few exceptional Cases. Even in Toron-
to Junction, and other places, where
liquor can be had bar crossing the street
it has worked great good. Phis shows
that if a bunch of Men are passing a
saloon they may go in; whereas if they
have to go round a block for it only the
n'd chronic drinkers will do so.
H. Arnett,
considerable revenue will be derived trona the space rented by the
various tenants of the building,.
During the year Branches were opened at Fort Frances, Ont.
and in Toronto at Yonge and Hayden 'streets, and at the corner of
McCaul and St. Patrick streets.
The following Western Brunches were closed, as the business
secured and the prospects did not justify their further maintenanee:
Hanley, Sask.. Clareeholm. Alta.; Granville Street Branch, Vanoou.,
ver; South Hill Branch, Moose ,taw; Hillhurst Branch, Calgary/
Riverside Branch, Calgary; Fcrnwood Branch, Victoria.
In accordance with $;'tion 56 of the Hank Act, and following
their anointment at the last Annual General Meeting a complete audit
of the afatrs of the Bank was made by your Auditors, Messrs, G. T.
Clarlcson and U. J. Dilworth, whose certificate is attached to the
Statement now submitted.
In addition the usual inspections of all the Branches of the Bank
have been made during the twelve months under review, and the
Head Office Cash. Investments, and Balance Sheet of the 31st De-
cember were verified by a committee of your Directors.
E. B. OSLER, President;
Toronto, 27th January, 1015.
It was moved by Sir Edmund B, Osier, M.P., seconded by Bir.
W. D. Matthews, and RESOLVED. That the Report be adopted,.
The retiring Auditors, Messrs. Geoffrey T. Clarksop and Robert
J. Dilworth, were reappointed Auditors for the current year,
The thanks of the Shareholders were tendered to the President.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS.
We have compared the above Balance Sheet with the books anti
tccounts at the Chief Office of The Dominion Bank, and with the cer-
tified rete ns received from its Branches, and after checking the cash
a3id verifying the securities at the Chief Office and two of the principal
nchcs on December 31, 1914, we certify that, in our opinion, sucl'
Balance Sheet exhibits a true and correct view of the state of the
Bank's affairs, according to the best of our information, the explant:
tions given to us and as shown by the books of the Bank.
In addition to the examinations mentioned the cash and securities a
the Chief Office and two of the principal Branches were checked an,'
verified by us during the year and found to be in accord with tl:•
hooks of the Bank.
All information and explanations required have been given to is
and all transactions of the Bank which have come under our notir -
have, in our opinion, been within the powers of the Bank.
