Successful farmers
know the value of mod-
ern scientific fertiliza-
tion for their grain,
hay, pasture, root, and
small fruit crops.
Phosphate is a primary need of select spring grown
grains and tests have also shown that fertilized
pasture lands provide more cheap feed than any other
crop.
Why pay out good money for grass' and clover seed
and neglect to provide the fertilizer required to ensure
a good crop?
This bank is interested in helping progressive
farmers to succeed. If you need money for a Farm
Improvement Loan or for any worthwhile purpose,
come in and talk over your plans.

Mrs. Ritchie, in her address to the'.
Women's Institute, said Ottawa was
a place to make every Canadian
proud Of its history. •
She went through Rideau hall and
the parliament buildings during the
time Lord Willingdmt was governoi'-
general of Canada.
In Rideau Hall two rooms especial-
ly impressed her. One was the Chin-
ese room done with beautiful carvings
and thick tick rugs. Two screens
which looked like pictures Were beau-
tifully wrought by a Chinese artist
from scrap metal., While we think of
them as backward we should accept
the Chinese as people worthy, of re-
cognition 1n our great dominion.
The Indian room is rich with weav-
ing, carving and Indian furniture.
Mrs: Ritchie felt that it is a shame
to see the Indian poiTlation banded
together, and banished on reserves
•when they have done so much to start
us on our way
The mint was another place of int-
erest. Here the dusty looking metal is
put in furnaces and melted; the dross
is taken out; it goes through acid
tests and hardened. Then it is cut and
stamped into the coins for our use,
The Peace tower 1s a majestic
sight. It was built after the fire' of
Feb. 3, 1916, It was to be a memorial
to peace after 1918. The oarrillon
bells are magnificent, They range in
size from 21h oz. to ones weighing
tons. The largest one bears the in-
scription, "Glory to God in the high-
est, On earth peace toward. men of
good will." Over the doorway is the
Inscription, "The spacious sea is at
her gates, Her gates both east and
west." The memorial chamber is 24
feet square and 47 feet high.
There are two sets -of gates leading
to the chambers and on either side of
the first is a lion. A plaque is shown
with the dragon of War on one side,
the cross of peace on the other and iu
the background tine sword of sacriike.
A plaque In memoriam for the beasts
and birds of the first war shows
horses, mules, pigeons, canaries, rats.
The second gate has the mother's
cross of sacrifice. It makes one proud
of the beauty, courage. true patriotism
Ibis land worth living for.
In the memorial hall there are three
stained glass windows depicting "Call
to an ms, "Call to remembrance" and
"Call to peace." On the walls, the
thistle, shamrock and lis are entwined
with rosemary for remembrance and
asphidel for warning.
The central altar bolds the book of
remembrance, A gift to Canada from
Britain is a plaque with the uplifted
hand holding a flaming torch and in-
scribed "To yeti from falling hands
we throw the torch, Be yours to hold
it high."
