How to open a Savings
Account
You can open a savings account
in The Bank of Nova Scotia with
a small deposit. All you need do
is to bring your money to the teller
and sign your name on a card.
The ledger -keeper then gives you
a pass book, which is your receipt.
It takes less than five minutes.
When you wish to deposit more
money, and it is not convenient to
do so personally you can send it in
by a member of your family, or a
neighbor, along with your pass
book.
The five minutes you take to
open asavin s account may
be
the turning point in your career.
It has been for many others.

Teeswater
vs.
Wingham
Royal Battle
on Monday
for District
Honors,
Monday afternoon Teeswater and
Wingham met, in the former town, to
break a tie in connection with the
League series they are leading in this
District. Both teams were in fine
fettle and each for the play and the
specimen of ball they put up before
a big crowd was A 1, Booty and
Brawley were et the pointe for the
home 9 while Morden and Anderson
t'e reeeuis e. '
p d the vtsitms, Nobody got
past 2n0 base for 9 innings and
play had to continue to arrive at a
decision. The 10th innings was as
fru ktlessas its predecessors and into
the 11th they went amidst no small
excitement and very heavy nervous
strain.
Teeswater rather went up in the air
and Wingham did not cease running
until were scored. Locals assayed
to even it up but, although 2 wen
were on bases when the umpire called
"Out" nobody crossed the plate and
amidst tooting of car Borns, cheering,
throwing hats in the air, -&a., the
game concluded. Umpires from
Owen Sound gave gond satisfaction
and there was scarcely a word of dis-
pute, rather a new conditiou for the
above mentioned antagonists. Both
batteries stayed with the job to the
end, without change, which meant
very strenuous work. They %vete
splendidly supported by the fielder,
scarcely an error being chalked up.
Glover wee too long in the outfield for
ball to run very far once it hit Lhe
ground, Biggest part of the play,
however, was on the infield.
Wednesday afternoon these
diamond -scarred lwarriors will fight
to a finish in Wingham and on the
result of these two games will deter-
mine the District honors and the op-
portunity of going into the semi-fin-
als.
Ice cream, peanuts, chocolate bars,
cigars, cigarettes and chewing gum
were peddled by hard working boys to
the crowd and a good trade done. A.
booth was also on the grounds.
Automobiles were there galore,
from the cheapest tin Lizzie to the 8
tylioder. THE Pose. was glad to wit -
nese the fine game, going over in Dr.
Gilpin's new Wills St. Glair car,
of Chicago, accompanied by J. J. Gil-
pin and Len, Downing, of town and
Alf, Deuny, of Buffalo. Little time
was wasted on the road, the 24 miles
being made in 40 minutes going and
45 coming home. Needless to rematk
we did not atop over at Wingham for
supper nor at Belgrave to "water the
horse." Roads were in elegant shape
and those whoassayed to "give us the
dust" did not snake much of a job at
it, Fred, is some driver and has the
car to do it with.
Teeswater is a snug little town,
with oiled main street, hydro, &c. It
has a tidy appearance with many
nicely kept geounds about comfort-
able homes, Both towns should be
proud of their ball teams ma they are)
no matter what their respective poet -
office addresses are when the season
is over, Monday's match was a real
good sample of professional play and
creditable alike to both winner and
loser.

tral.Business College, and arranged
for the amalgamation of the two col-

of a "United Business College" was

its old premises with Mrs. Welter Van
