Most people celebrate it by moving the rub bish off the front lawn and dumping it in the back yard TO,STOP BANK "KITING" The banks in Toronto have united in inaugurating a campaign to afford them selves and their customers better protection against dishonest business tactics and sharp practices. Starting last week the various banks commenced a systematic protest of all cheques oe over 225, that were die honored when presented for payment, and it is announced that immediate legal steps will be taken by them to force the issuers of the worthless cheques to meet their obligations at once. Some idea of the magnitude of the present system of "kiting," and of the far reaching effects of the new campaign, may be realized when it is known that the bankers estimate the amount of "kities" carried by the banks daily will easily total over the hundred thousand dollar mark. While he, amendment refers only to the Toronto branches, in reality it covers the whole Dominion, as far as Toronto business men are concerned, for it has been the custom of country branches to protest any cheques sent them by the Toronto banks which were not honored, Under' the new rule, the cheque upon reaching the bank on which 10 is drawn will be immediately protested; both the issuer and the de positor will be notified at once and the bank will take immediate legal steps to collect the value of the cheque and the issuer must pay all costs incurred, the banks being determined to protect the depositor in every possible manner Affected Her.

The nerves have become unstrung and the heart perhaps affected.

This proper order has a direct bear ing onthe movements of the Canadian contingents, which the German Gov ernment would be glad to catch afloat on the Atlantic with submarines if it could gain clues tothe shifting of such troops within Canada and in due course to dates of sailing.
