The â€" Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo _ Philharmonic Choir won fresh laurels in the concerts given last week in the Collegiate auditorium. It not only maintained but enhanced the highly favorâ€" able position which it enjoys in this musicâ€" loving community by reason of the merit of its work. The accomplishments of this choral orâ€" ganization which was formed three years ago under the inspiration of the Music Club of the Twinâ€"City, has again served to demonstrate the promising musical talent to be found in these two centres which is reflected in the splendid achievements of the choir. Capable and enthusiastic leadership on the part of its conductor, Mr. J. L.

Most of the 16 associations are well up with interest. Loans outstanding at the beginning of the year were $279,673.40, and during the year new issues were made of $53,750. .Of the principal $102,020.66 was reâ€" paid, and interest paid amounted to $16,622.83 ! out of interest due, $17,051.40. The balance of | shortâ€"term loans outstanding at the end of October last was consequently $231,402.74, or practically $50,000 less than at the same time the year before, in spite of the new issues. Some interesting facts concerning the operations of the Agricultural Development Board are disclosed in the report for the year ending October 31st last which was recently issued. * The report indicates that the deficits of former years have hbeen wiped out and that there was a surplus of earnings over outlay for the year amounting to $26,705.34. There has also been no loss of principal while there has been an increase in the number though not in the volume of the loans. During the year the Board passed 990 applications for loans, with total sums inâ€" volved of $3,582,150. The security for these loans was estimated at $7,871,026.25. In 1923 the number of loans passed was smaller, 953, but the amount was $3,729,350. Loans passed by the Board during its three years of operâ€" ation now reach over $9,000,000, but only a little over $7,000,000 has actually been paid out, as some loans are not yet completed. ‘«In old Ontario loans granted numbered 732, aggregating $3,126,600, against inspection valuation amounting to $6,737,902. The loans granted therefore averaged $4,271.31. In New Ontario 258 loans were granted, involving $455,550, against inspectors‘ valuations of $1,133,124.25. These loans avermged $1,765.69. The aggregate of loans is well under 50 per cent. of ‘the aggregate value, and very few individual loans exceeded this percentage. in addition to the applications passed, about :oneâ€" third as many were refused.

In this connection the Toronto Star has the following comment : . Of the sum of $105,807.12 due at the close of 1923 on long term loans, a little less than $3,000 remained to be paid in, and of the $106,609.77 due last May about $18,000, at the close of the board‘s fiscal year. In other words, less than 3 per cent. of payments are being carried over ten months, and about 17 per cent. over five months.

GREAT BRITAIN‘S NEW AIRSHIPS TO CARRY 100 PASSENGERS Another innovation on the ship will be a smoking Toom for passenâ€" gers, like that aboard an ocean liner.

In most of these cases a well chosen diet, fresh air and a tonic to build up the blood would do wonders. To all runâ€"down, mervous people the experience of Mrs. H. J. Cameron, Watervale, NS., will be of deep inâ€" terest. She says:â€"‘"About two years ago I was in a miserable, runâ€"down coftdition.

These subsidies will be ‘given iu the expectation that soft coal from Nova Scotia will be made into coke to compete with hard coal from the States and that. many industries based upon the byâ€"products of coked coal will be set up.
