in respect of welch site may bo said to grand un-

Survey of Conditions.
Tho president proceeded to survey conditions
hs the loather and footwear Industry, In textiles,
iron and steel and pointed out the possibility of
a slowing down in Um building trades following a,
very active period. The notlooablo improvement
of business ham brought with 1t a doollno 1h
unemployment.
"The aggregate of Canada's foreign trade still
expands, laming bpd a value of 21,200,000,000 In
the seven months ending October 81st, or $42,-
000,000 more than in the eorrespoudlnu period
Iasi year. The character of the trade, however,
Is changing, importa having increased and exports
decreased, as a consequence of which the favor-
able
avorable balance has diminished."
Trend Upward.
neacribing prceent conditlonn In Canada, We
president drew the conclusion that the Dominion
baa anergod from the shadow of restricted busi-
ness, unsatisfactory earnings and indifferent bal-
ance abuts and We trend of business is now
rnatinctly upward In practically all lines of trade.
"•I cannot see any indication that thla period of
prosperity is soon coming to an end. I believe
tho underlying conditions are sound and the fu-
ture can be viewed with confidence."

Outstanding Facts,
Three outstanding facts regarding Canada aro
stressed in the report, Nath 3. view to Informing
Potential investors In Creat Britain who have We
Woltaro of We Empire at heart,
Firstly It is pointed out that lase that 00 years
ago the three, Prairie ;merlin:es wore Uninhabited.
To -day on the fertile plains Is a poptulatlon of
two minion progporous people, with millions of
rich and Idle acres awadtlna Bottlers. In 1000 rho
value of Wu field crops of then provinces is given
at 92 million dollars; uuw It 10 close to 700
millions.
a000ndly, although Canada is known as an
agrtoultural country, it may not be realized abroad
that the gross value of our manufactured products
In 1024, the last obtainable figures, was $2,005.-
000,000,
2,000,000,000, nearly twice the agrloultural production
for the SA 1110 Year.
Thirdly, such progress has been made in harness-
ing -iter power, that Canada is now the second
country per capita in this respect in the world.
"when developments now under way aro complete,
Canada will have In use 4,0000,000 .horse power,
representing a capital investment in power plants
and transmission lines of 804 million dollars,"
"Those throe facts alone," the General Manager
says, "should be enough to attract We .notice of
British engineers, promoters, investors, manufan-
turore and Intending emigrants,"
Sir Frederick rcrlewed (ho various services
rendered • by Jam 1351113 111 the Interests of the
general public and that of Canada, such as the

This trade treaty, together with the
advertiatln„ effected by the Canadian
exhibition train, which toured the Re-

Canadian exports to Prance and ap-
proach nearer apoint of at balon.ce of

tive year before the war, 1913, Canada
sold to Prance: only to the. extent of
$2,564,603 while purchasing from that
country to the value of $i5,532,144.
The Dominion's, purchases from the
Republic in the mast three twielve-

Surnames and Their Origin
MASSEY.
Variation -- Massie, Demasay, De-
massle.
Racial Origin — Anglo-Norman and
French.
Source.. --A locality.
With the exception of talose. in-
stances';. ill wlllch this family name is
traceable to Gaelic sources, it should
be classed, according to Its. forth, as
French, or else English and of Normals
origin. England slid America to -day
are full of family names which arra but
chang'e'd forms of place names inNor-
mandy. These names axle relics of the
Norman iuvasioo of England.
At Clue time of that Invasion: most
men, in England as well as among the
Normans, bore, but a single name.
When something more, than this name
was needed to differentiate between
individuals, the speaker would make
use of '00n'pe con'v'enient Surname, re-
ferring either to a man's trade or the
place from which. he had donne, to
show vrhieh "john" or "Roger" or
"Iiu:go" he was speaking of.
The meed for these ,surnames was
panti•outlarly stroug among the Nor-
mans after• their invasion of England..
Gathered front all'sections. of France,
the Nonman host had spread out in a
strange country. Conditions were un-
settled. Theme was much moving
about from place to plates. It was na-
tural, therefore, that these surname's,
referring ha the place from which a
mall had come, were. particularly oon
vendlent.
Massey was a town and feudal holds
ing near Bayeux, Normandy, The
forms prefixed by "de" represent
form's of the family name developed
in France. The others are lDngli'sth de-
velopments.
ORMES.
Variations- Ormesby, Ormeson, Orm-
skirk,
Racial Origin --English,
Source -A given name.
Here is a group of family names
founded on a given name whlcll Is
nothing unusuwl. Our directories to-
day eoutain a very heavy percentage
of family names which would be just

which they are composted remained as
popular with succeeding generations
1009 have the names of John, Richard
and Devipi•.
Yet at on'e' time the name of "Orm"
or "O•tene" was extremely popular
among the Northern Teutonic races,
it/elu'ding the Anglo-Saxons, and Da:an•e:s
(who aleo have left the impress of
their nomenclature in both the langu-
ages of England and Scotia/el) and
,,the. Normans. The last named, it must
be remembered, were a Teutonic race,
though they had adopted the Frenoh
tongue. (It would be more correct,
perbape, to say that they had them-
selves formed a • vartatlon of the
French tongue). But their nomencla-
ture remained predominantly Teu-
tonic. History shows that In ali .cases
where one race adopts the language of
another, it retains, however very
much of its, original -language in its
names.
So it will be seen that there are sev-
eral explanations of the exi'sten,ce in
England of this given n'aone.
Ormes is but a shortening of Orme-
son. Ormesby and Ormskirk were
place .names compounded of the given
name plats' the words for "village" and
"church." From place names they be
carne surnames.
Above the Heavens.

God's glory is a richer• thing,
And sweeter singing too.
Above the azure wide and high,

Illimitably true
Above the faintest, farthest star
In distant chaos wrought,
God's glory, infinitely far
Transoetn;ds our feeble thought.

A Needed Tool.
STOMACH TROLE
DUE TO THIN BLOOD
It Usually Disappears When the
Blood is Made Rich and Iced.
Thin blood is one of the most com-
mon causes of stomach trouble. It
affects the digestion very quickly. The
glands that furnish the digestive fluids
are diminished in their activity, the
stomach muscles are weakened and
there is a loss of nerve force. In this
state of health nothing will more
quickly restore the appetite, digestion
and normal nutrition than good, rich,
reel blood.
Da. Williams' Pink Pills act directly
on the blood, making it rich and red,
and this enriched blood strengthens
weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles
and awakene to normal activity the
glands that supply the digestive fluids.
This is shown by an improved appetite,
and soon the effect of the blood en-
riching pills is evident throughout the
whole system. You find that what you
eat does not distress you, and that you
are vigorous instead of irritable and
listless. If your appetite is fickle, if
you have any of the distressing pains
and symptoms of indigestion, you
should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pil•is and profit by the better condition
in which they will put your blood.
Thcee pil'l's are sold by all dealers in
medicine, or you can get them by mail
at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil -

Among many misleading generali-

No, the hold mar/stage has upon us
as a people is not weakened by ex-
posures of the exceptions to the rule.
These may excite our pity, our sym-
pathy, and sometimes our aversion,
but cannon threaten the majesty of the
stociei t•.ustom that is the common rite
of all. It is Meloiat•e, tenable so long
as the Anglo-Saxon conception of
civilization prevails. It is the 1'espeet-
e;d comnl•onplace in 'dadly life that fa-
miliarity does not asperse. And it is
expresseds perhaps most felicitously,
in those over -recurring inhiance5 in
which wedded couples on these
prattles have lived together, have
toiled fo•r• one another, and often
fought with each other, have drunk to-
