When being searched,' my Mint almost jumped out of my month every tithe the hold-up man .touched my " vent pocket, The diamonds were not le- eured nor marked in•eny wap, and I do not think I would have. •been able to trace them as I had not examined them very closely." • The bandits did not :touch any jewelry in the store, although they ad ever y chance of making a big haul of valuable rings, watches and other jewels from the show cues. After getting the money the men backed to the front door and escaped. The police working on the case now believe that the robbery was carefully planned. The men had evidently been watching the store for a day or so, and observed the time the proprietor went to lunch. The policeman on the beat must also have been ,closely checked.

Strong Position of Standard Bank During the period of industrial re- adjustment such as Canada, in com- mon with the other countries of the wotld, is now passing through, the statements of the leading banks of the country have a special significeuce. The Standard Bank of Canada is now forwarding lie manual report to shareholders and it discloses a posi- tiou that will be found particularly re- assuring. The strength of the Cana- dian bank ing system was never more e clearly proved than dui ing the war period, At the present, time the ad- vantages of the system are also being reflected by the tuanuee in which the banks are getting back into the ordi- bary lines of business and lending constructive assistance to the trade and commerce of the country. The business of every section of the Dominion ie. growing and the Stand- ard .Bank is making provision to handle a,atill larger amount of the business in its tan itory by increasing both its Capital and Reserves. Dor- ing the war period various thrift campaigns were carried out. It is evi- dent, that they have had a good effect on the Canadian people. Even during the past year the Standard Bank is able to report a substantial gain in savings deposits, notwithstanding the fact that in the earlier part of the year large withdrawals were uudaubt- edly make by people who have made purchases in connection with the last Victory Loan campaign. Careful and conservative manage- ment f as always been the policy of the a ndard Bank and in view of the policy it must be particularly satis- factory to altat•ebnlders to know that the management have found it pos- sible to recommend to the Board of Directors an increase in the dividend distribution from 18 to 14 per cent, With the larger resources at its disposal, the Standard Bank should be able to play a still more Important part in the development of the dire trict which it serves and at the same time pay a good return on capital to its many Canadian shareholders. Frank Stratton Sobbed In Hamilton Ail efforts of the police to locate the two highwaymen who staged such sensational hold-up in W. F. Stret- t•on's jewelry store, 4011 Barton street East, Hamilton, at noon last Thurs- day, have failed. Detectives and plain.clotheeweti were on the scene shortly after the robbers left, and al- though they thoroughly scoured the entire district, no trace of the men could be found. Detectives are still working on the case. Onmplete particulars of the hold-up were given out by the police. When the two bandits entered the store, at 12 BO p, in., William Anderson, 16 - year old apprentice clerk, was in charge, in the absence of Mir. Strat- ton. As anon as the bandits entered they both pulled out revolvers. The older of the two men walked over to the boy behind the counter and told him to get out to the back mote as quickly as poeeihle. He did not paint the gun at the boy, but kept the weep - on always in sight, "Be a good boy, and you'll not get hart," was the fleet order of the baud - its. The boy complied with their re- quest and walked to the back of the Lbe room and the two men followed him. One of the men remained with haw, and the other then went to the till and took all the money, amount - ng to abont $18. After clearing the till of its contents, the bandit joined his m c panion in the back rood. Ile had brat entered the .room when Mr. 81,etton, who had returned from hrneh, walked Into the store, Having no suspicion of the situation. Stretton went straight to the rear room, where he had some repairing to do, ' He was Hawick Mutual fire Insurance Company The 49th annual meeting of the well known Howiek Mutual Fire Insurance Oem au in was held p y the Town Hall, Gerrie, Tuesday afternoon of last week, There was a good attendance..
