New Bank Open

(Special to the Guardian)

TORONTO, Feb. 2.-’I‘he Canadian Bank of Commerce opened for bus- iness at 10 a. m. today with a staff of nearly seven hundred ready at their various posts. One of the first to enter the great‘ halls was sir John Aird president of the institution, which now hasthe distinction of be- ing housed in the tallest structure in the British Empire. Briefcase in hand Sir John gave one look around the main banking room and then pro- ceeded to his ofllce on the seventh floor and was engaged in work a few minutes later when approached by a press photographer. Alert and quite taken up with their nlw sur- roundings the thres hundred and fif- ty employees of the banks head office staff were waiting on customers five minutes after the doors swung open for the first day oi business in the great thirty four storey sky scraper.

'I'hat same unostentatlon which has marked the opening of other units of the building was present when the bankinB quarters were thrown open to the service of the public. Attendants in brown liveries quietly directed new customers to the various banking departments.

Mr. Stewart felt. a danger lest the interests of one part oi the Dominion be furthered at the expense of the others. The welfare of the Maritime-l. he we- gggmd, might be improved by the consolidation of these units; but he realized that it might be many- Y0!!!" before local feeling in the east would agree with him.

A final spurt in the last five min- utes of play in a very fast game put the Y. M. C. A. quintet “" game up in the struggle for the basketball supremacy of the city. rhe first half ended 14 to l1, with the N-avy grad- ually overcoming their opponents, who were playing only four regulars and one substitute. In the last per- iod howevcr the Y had their full team and managed to come out with a. win by their increased efforts in the last few minutes. Mention must be made of the new uniform recently purchased by the Navy and worn the first time on Saturday night. They are a two-tone style, the colors be- ing light blue and dark blue, and present a most creditable appearance. All teams now have distinctive vari- “coiored uniforms which adds much to the game and makes refereeing s. much easier job

Coming from behind with the score reading l0 to 4 in the first half, the Abbie Sisters took a second game from the Amazonsin the last period of the game, which seems ai- ways to be the downfall of the Amazons. The presence oi Aggie Mc- Gee and Ruth Heartz on the Abbie team, after a lengthy absence, in- stalled more confidence and speed into their players than usual, and they are a squad much to be feared in the future.

u. s. FARMERS .liilliiESSE|l BY in. s. SHARPE

island Speaker S‘resses Practical Value of Fox Ranching.

Following is the text of an address delivered by Mr. G. Shelton Sharp, M. i‘... A., president Canadian rmticn- al Silver Piox Breeders l lotion at the annual meeting of the Farmers and Dairyman’: Association of New Brunswick, at Fredericton _on Jan. 29th.

Mr. Chairman and gentlemen.

1t is indeed a pleasure in the Cap- ztni City of New Brunswick to meet so many members of the Farmers and Dairymenb Associatio , an As- sociatiorrthat came into being over fifty years ago, before many here present were born. Our fathers in this case as in many others in the ccrly history of this Country, build- ed better than they knew, and to- day you have an organization that embraces practically every phase of the farming industry in this Province ‘and this is as it should be.

It is only by keeping abreast of the times, using the most up to date methods can we hope to mpete in the markets of the world with countries and nations who are today lending their best efforts to the ad» vnncement of agriculture.

The Mariitme Provinces were nev- er adapted to growing wheat as were the Prairie Provinces of the west and early found that her greater prosperity lay in using on her farms her raw products of hay roots and grain to proddoe the less bulky pro- duct and finished articles in eggs, butter, pork, beef, etc, retaining the fertility in the land and giving em- ployment at all seasons of the year to the best crop of all, the boys and girls that were growing up on that farm.

Tonight I am going to. speak of another phase of farming activity well adapted to our northern climate and now carried on in every Prov- ince of Canada. I refer to fur farm- ing, and especially to silver fox farm-

‘We are aho showing in the Canadian

numbers have increased from year to year until ‘this year we will have marked in Canada, some one hund- red thousand puppies and inlpcc‘ ’ some hundred and eight thousand adults. Fifty two Inspecfo working in Every province in Canada did the work between August 15th and De- cember 15th. Puppies to pun inspec- tion and, receive a certificate must be up to a certain standard of quai- ity or excellence, and all foxes und- er that standard must be pelted or may be retained by the owner for one year then if it does not pass it must be pelted and cannot in any case be sold. 'I‘o get that standard uniform in every province in Canada, We have in the past two years held schools of instruction where the In- spectors working both in the ealt and west received instructions by the same instructors, and while we have some criticism as to the severity of the inspection, we have also many letters commending our work. It is only by constantly weeding out infer- ior or low grade animals and keep- ing as sires and dames only the best, can we ever hope to produce the ani- mal whose pelt will command fancy prices on the fur markets of the world.

In addition to what our inspectors are doing, we have endeavored by assisting fox shows, to educate the rancher and encourage the breeding of the highest type of animal. For the past number of years, we have conducted the fox section of the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto and for the past two years have made a grant of 81000110 each regional fox, show, Amherst representing the Eas- tern region and Saskatoon the West- cm getting the grants this year.

During the past year, our Associat- ion has also given more attention to placing the quality of Canadian silver fox pelts before the fl:r_ buying pub- iic and in that connection has an exhibit of silver fox pelts both in the raw state and made up at the Can- adian National Exhibition, Toronto, at the British Empire Exhibition, Bue- nos Aires, March 14th to April 27th.

Liberty Movement In Saskatchewan

(Canadian Press)

WILKIE, Sask, Feb., 2--Rlse of the charter of liberty movement in northwest Saskatchewan is due to varied causes, according to divergent opinions expressed here. The char- ter, which more than 800 farmers have signed during a three-week drive, favors formation of a western free-trade commonwealth failing new Dominion Government move: for farm-aid. Business men in Wilkie contend that the move arises not from destitutloxi among farmers, but is due to active leadership and camp- algning.

the fur trade, likewise the French Voyageurs, up the St. Lawrence and across the Great Lakes were more in- terested in procuring the fine iurs of this northern land for mi-lndy than they were in establishing settlements , which was in most every case of sec- ondary consideration, so that Canada came into being principally on account of the fur trade and while Kipling has been condemned for conveying a wrong impression of our ciimatei when he wrote "Our Lady of thei Snow," no greater tribute has ever been paid to this northern land, for hero at times in a rigorous climate, we produce virile men, beautiful wo- men and magnificent furs, all duc no doubt to the breed from which we spring and the climate in which we live. '

As the settlements increased nat- urally animals became scarce, while increased prosperity and increased population created a further demand for furs.

Some forty or fifty years, men a- live to the requirements of the age, conceived the idea of ‘breeding silver ‘ foxes in captivity. For a number of years, no one knew much about the business but in 1910 and years fol- lowing it made rapid progress, while today it is a recognized business in all Countries where climatic condit- ions permit of it being carried on.

The, funner now in addition to his herdof milch cows, his flock of sheep, hens and turkeys has a few pairs of silver foxes in his garden or wood lot from which he derives more money than he even thought of getting by rdinary mixed farming methods. To procure value for his labor though he must get production and produce a pelt that will bring in the market price considerably in excess of what it cost him to pi-o~ duce it. In that connection, the Can- adian National Silver Fox Breeders’ Association of which I have the hon- or of being President. I have tried to be of some assistance.

Recent Developments

Now the breeding of foxes in cap- tivity, as I said before, has only been carried on to any extent for, say twenty years. Many problems of nut- rition and disease have been worked out and many are still to be over- come.

Recognizing early the value of this industry to Canada, the Federal De- partment of Agriculture established an Experimental Farm to study nu- tritionai and parasite problems and now have Dr. Wickware, one of Canada's outstanding Pathologists, who will address you this evening and who is working on disease pioblems l in Canada.
