Without eapital, brains and enterprise there is little hope of a man making more than the faintest impression. There are still opportunities enough for the man with money, nerve and pluck.

At this rate of saving we would soon pay off our inâ€" debtedness and have one of the best equipped fire halls in the province.

Mine host Seyler disâ€" tinguished himself by setting up a most sumptuous repast which would have done credit to Harry Webb himself. After disposing;, of the excellent things provided for the inner man, President Roschman opened the intel lectual . part of the programme in a neat speech in which he pointed out the various avenues of usefulness lying before the Waterloo Board of Trade, and closed by proposing the toast to "TheQueen" which,was honored as loyal citizens of Waterloo know how to do.

He locked forward to a time when the petty issues that seemed causelessly to separate people in provincial politics, would cease to divide, and our people would be less partisan and more patriotic. "The Governorâ€"General and Parliaâ€" _ ment of Canada," . was eloquently reâ€" plied to by T. E. Bownan, M. P. for North Waterloo. He alluded to the distinguished character with which the present incumbent of the Viceâ€" Regal throne comes to us, and praised the exâ€" cellence of our system of Government, under which the people really govern, while the strongtbut?flexible tie which binds us to the Empire as a whole is represented by the Governor General. Oune notable fact in our history is the enforcement of our laws, which are cavried out almost without friction or disturbance, showing that they are reasonable and wise as a whole or at Teast consonant with the wishes of the vast majority of the people. Speaking of local matters he said it was admitted by all commercial men that the busiâ€" ness men and manufacturers of the sisâ€" | ter towns of Waterloo and Berlin are in a thoroughly sound and healthy conâ€" dition, more so, indeed, in this time of general depression than those of any other towns or cities in the country.
