Sir Frederick Williams -Taylor Points Out That C;?snadia Must Put House In Order—People ,Must Insist on Government Praetising Policy of Economy., The 107th annual general meeting of the 6114reholders of the Bank of Montreal was /narked by interesting. addresses by Sir Vincent Meredith, President, and Sir Frederick 'irVil. liams-Taylor, General Manager; The Presidentdeclared that he was. satisfied "that a gradual improvement lethe trade 'situation is occur ring, Statistical returns support this view, and while there is irregularity in the movement, in the main the trend is upward." After pointing out the grati- fying erowth of a favorable balance of trade, the President declared that lie regarded this ,increase in Canada's foreign trade credit ;as '"an augury of a not distant improvement in domes- tic business!' omes-tic.business.' The President concluded his ad- dress with the following expression of confidence: "Ivry 'Hast word is a word of confi- deuce and encouragement. : The in- terests of your Bank are more closely bound up with those of Canada than ever before and unless Canada pros- pers the Bank cannot expect the prosperity it should enjoy. I believe Canada will prosper. It offers in- ducements to immigrants vastly su- perior to those of other countries' which are at present endeavoring to attract citizens. It stands third amongst the countries of, the world in natural resources.: "Yet cardinal virtues must be prac- ticed and I would 'again stress the necessity for hard work and' econ- omy, so often preached and seldom,. put 'into practice, and the need for immigration. Given these tlree things, i look forward with the utmost COp- fidence to Canada's future." Much to be Thankful For. T►ir Frederick Williams -Taylor, the general manager, in his addreses tQ the shareholders; said in part: "First and •foremost I , would Say that there muet be en end to the pre. .sent epatily, about public affairs.." In my opinion, those whowill not go to the trouble; to register their vote in municipal, provincial, and federal af- fairs should be penalized in some forxn for their indifference. "We all know that apart from the cost and defects of the war Canada's troubles are the accumulated result of what may be termed in mild and temperate language imprudence in affairs. "Good government is a hard prob- lem in any country. ;No government' can, move faster in these matters than public opinion will permit, and upon the. people lies the responsibility of voting for economy. "We, in Canada, have much to be thankful for. -If this were a poor country our case would be a bad one,, but we have richesin our forests, our fields, our fisheries, -and in our miner- als, also in our mighty water powers, and in,"the industry and ambition of our people. • "if Canada were a private business.. enterprise thesituation would pre - Sent ` no great ,difficulty, , for we are solvent, with wealth vastly' in excess of our 'liabilities; and a way would be found by following the chylous course of dutting down our overhead and, like a sane, capable and indus- trious people, putting our house in order.,, Surnames and Their Origin OGDEN Variations—Hogg, 'Hogue, Hogarth, Hogshaw, Hagman, Hoggart. Racial Origin—Middle English. Source—An animal. Ogden and the foregoing variations of this family name developed prob- ably through several different pro- cesses, 'but ro-cesses,'but in: all cases from the same. =.source, the name of an animal, which unfortunately has a savory name with us' to -day only when we think of it in connection with eating—namely, the hog, But if proof,, were necessary to es- tablish that this ancient friend of man held an honored position in the la n- . guage of the riddle ages, it would be only necessary to call attention to the great number of family names which have developed from him. Iiideed, King Richard III. was widely and will- ingly known as "Richard le Hog," and the}re's many a family among the no- bility of Europe which proudly bears the boar', upon :its crest, A boar, of course, is nothing but a hog, and abolish he' modern times it -has taken on the meaning of "wild hog,'" no such distinction .was made in the olden days, Ogden was originally spelled "de la Rogedene." The "dene"_of those days was a sheltered depression in the. woods. ° The modern word is "den." Hoggart, and in some oases Hogarth, comes from "le Hogeherde," "herder of hogs"; though in other cases Ho- Let Christmas Day. usher in months of pleasure with a O TIPHO] Radio Receiver.

A "schaw was very similar to 'a "dene." Hence Hagshaw. The vari- ations' Hogg and Hogue undoubtedly developed from the use of a picture of the animal by a merchant or inn- keeper on the sign before his place of business. PICKETT. Variations—Pigott, Pigot., Source—Personal characteristic: Racial 'Origin—French. It would be hard to pick a more Eng - fish -sounding ,name than Pickett. Yet its origin is not English at- all, but. French. • Those who bear the name of Pickett, however, can be sure of one thing, that the name has spent two or three centuries in England before being brought to this , countryfor while the origin of the name is not. English,its spglling. certainly is: This. points very strongly to the probability that it was transplanted from France to: England at some period before ;the spelling: of names, and indeedP: l o s i words, sgttIed down- n into what we mighttali a standardized rut. There's nothing new about "simpli- fied spelling." Most of the complexi- ties of the Englishlanguage to -day are the result of periods of wide open" simpifFed spelling in past centuries. Aid the name of Pickett is an ex- ample. 'It comes from the French adjective "picote," meaning pitted, as from smallpox. At the time of the Norman invasion family names had barely be- gun to develop ; and were confined 'at first to the nobility. By the time such an adjective could have settled down into a family name virtually every- body had very-body-had ceased speaking French in England. Hence it must have come over later. The pronunciation of "pi - cote," with the final , . syllable "e" dropped, was very naturally • repre- seted by the epeling Pickett. The surnames Pigott and Pigot show every evidence of having developed in France, and of being brought to Eng- land or straight: to this country at a later period. Free Paint Book for the Children.
