business man and farmer was not deeply interested in that frontpage article in the dailies recently announcing that loan com panies would cut their deposit rate in 1935 in some instances from 3 to what those who seek shortterm loans would appreciate would be an announcement by the heads of chartered hanks that the rate of interest would be reduced from 7 to at least 5 miss mac pbail mp is not overstating the position of those farmers who are seeking hank loans when she says they would need to own a whole township to give security enough to satisfy bank managers morgan baker mpp struck a popular note in his address at the whitchurch township nomination meeting when he informed the audience that he would have the honor of introducing a hill at the forthcoming session of the ontario legislature calculated to rescind the present legislation whereby certain organizations owning or leas ing farm lands might be tax free at the present time the vanostrand farm at vandorf bringing in a

protected by lightning rods it must be admitted of course that barns filled with hay are more easily fired when struck by light ning than ordinary warehouses or dwellings it has been proved that standard copper lightning rods when properly installed as provided under the lightning rod act are 99 per cent efficient since the lightning rod act be came effective in 1922 there have been 56110
