BANK SHOWS. INCREASE
The total Assets of the Dominion I3ank
at the close of the year 1917 amounted to
$109,456,145, A year ago there were
$92,069,692, The increase is a record
motor the Dominion Bank and exceeds
the combined increase of 1915 and 1910,
'the manner in which these increased
funds were disposed of war such as to
place the bank in an extraordinary post -
tion both for ready cash and for quick as-
sets of alf kinds. In fact not only the
whole of the $16,510,000, of new funds
but also about $3,500,000 which wds em-
ployed a year ago in current loans are now
found amongst the quick assets making
a total increase in quick assets of more
than twenty million dollars, These quick
assets are now GO per cent of the liabilities
to the public. whereas a year ago they
were 47.40 per cent. The strictly cash
items represent over 27 per cent of the
public liabilities, whereas a year ago they
were 24 9 per cent, The total quick as -
'sets now amount to $57,000,455.
Thanks to the fact that a large pro-
portion even of the `quick assets is now
productive of a good revenue, as in the
Canadian Government securities (Federal
and provincial) of which the bank ab-
sorbed nearly nine mi.IiJns during the
year, the profits also a very satisfactory
advance. These amounted to $1,005,002
an increase of $111,559, over 191G, and
sufficed for the payment of a 12 per cent
dividend on Capital, patriotic donations
and pension fund grants to tailing 55,500,
and the writing of $200,000 from bank
premises account. Altogether the year
1917 was one of which the directors, the
General Manager --Mr. C. A. Sogert— and

Ned had a friend who operated a

"13y tarring you to Roseburg In my

"But the reads tiny he tr,itehed,"

Here's the proposition; if you think
that striking Rosebury after dark by
an untraveled route you can manage
to reach this minister friend without
being disenvered, I'll get you there."
"Ton will 1"
"Without frit!"
"I'll make it 1.1w best day's work

"See here, friend, I'm not marrying
this jewel of an angel for money. I've
got more of it than site leas. It's a
ease of genuine, disinterested love and
a cruel, scheming guardian."
"k guessed that," nodded Neil In a
chipper way. "Now let me explain to
you. There's a half road west; no one
ever uses it now, It runs by the old
glass factory that burned down. It's
made up of refuse and cinders that
would ruin ordinary tires in ten min-
utes. I've got solid ones. Folks have
jeered at my 010 machine, but all the
same it can make that trip, and they
couldn't even begin it."
"Oh, Walter, this is dreadful!" pal-
pitated Gabrielle, as, an hour later, in
the dark the old auto humped and
skidded and thundered along over the
glass works road.
"Not when it throws you into my
arms!" cried Walt z inlsilently, "Think
of our good fortune i,t running acmesthis genui„e1y fine y;,,t„ti; f,.luw, witha heart big as the moon!”
With a whiz the automobile finally
rolled out into a smooth country lune.
"You've arrived,” announced Neil.
"What's the program? This is the
edge of Rosebury."
"I think," spoke Walter, after brief
thought, "that I'll take no risks. I'll
leave you two here, go for Mr. Both-
well end we'll get married before wo
venture into town."
He was gone an hour. He returned
with his friend. There, in the auto-
mobile, the solemn words were pro-
nounced that made the runaways man
and wife.
"For you," spoke Walter Young, tak-
ing Nell aside and pressing a folded
elip of paper auto the hand of their
gallant chauffeur. "It's n ehectr, and
good, and none too gig for a man who
has helped me with the best little girl
In the world 1"
When Neil Borden opened the check,
back nt Fairview, four hours later, ho
found it to be for one thousand dol-
lars. The adventure it commemorated
had awakened latent romance in his
heart. He could afford to think of a
Iife companion now, and did. His
choice fortunately fell upon a sweet
souled creature who did not disdain
riding in the old automobile, and Nell
made that the test of her worthiness.

John la Swart is not the man to be

someone was bold enough to intimate that
John could not buci.saw his own wood,
Of course such a bluff could not stand un-

last accounts more than half the pile had
succumbed to Mr. Sw•arts' staying powers.
It looks as though he would win the race,
and get a dollar a torts fur cutting his own
wood, with the muscular exercise thrown
into the bargain.

Battleships and Paint
Our battleships literally eat paint.
The initial color requirements for a
new battleship cost about $23,000,
wbich is the price of about a hundred
tone of the kind of paint the cavy uses.
In addition to this, according to the
Popular Science Monthly, it is custom-
ary to repaint the different parts of a
ship two or three tithes a year, so the
annual upkeep probably exceeds this
sum. Tbis brings the annual outlay in
paint for the entire fleet to $1,000,000.
The most important coating a vessel
receives is the paint applied to the snb-
erierged parts of the hull to protect it
from corrosion or barnacles.
