and what was proposed at Geneva
in 1927. What was said in the Anglo
French proposals was: If you really
want these large 10000 ton ships to
go these long distances, then so long
as you do not arm them with guns
of more than six inch calibre you
can have as many as you like"
His Remarks
The first lord said there is in
America extraordinary suspicion at
tached to any offer we may make
them and as long as that exists do
not know If it is really of much use
our making any. We shall always be
prepared to listen to any proposals
they may make. We don't resent any
claim they may make for their own
defense and there is no reason why
they should not have navy second
to none in tho world. We say we
claim the same privilege. for we
must protect this island from STAR
vation."
Nothing could do such harm as the
rubbish" heard on liberal and So
cialist platforms about provocation
to war between Great Britain and
America, the first lord added. The
traditions, interests and history of
both countries We're against war.

MASONIC PLAYERS
SCORE IN COMEDY
Produce Mrs. Temples Tele.
gram, Delightins Audience

An auditorium which was filled to
capacity greeted the opening pro-
duction of Mrs. Temples Tele-
gram" by the Masonic Dramatic
club last evening at Odd Fellows
hall. 1t was the first appearance of
this group in public, and If flowers
and congratulations which were
showered upon the performers nfter
the play are a criterion, their sue
cess was beyond question.
George w. Mitchell as Jack Tenn
pie, the husband who was so mis-
judged that he solicited the services
of a friend 10 help him lie out of
trouble. acted the part like a mar
riod man who was inclined to have
his little fling. AS the tempermental
and jealous wife, Mrs. Mabel r.
Hall carried off the part of Mrs.
| Temple to perfection. winning the
sympathy of the audience for the
wife, even though the part she por-
trayed was that of foolish and
impulsive woman.
Miss Dorothy Smith as Dorothy
and Martin r. (Dick) Anderson, as
Captain Sharpe. acted the typical
lovers, with just trife less snap
than modern sheik and flapper
might do, but with quiet dignity
that seemed in keeping with their
parts. Al. j. Swoboda as Frank
Fuller, who got himself. his friend
and three families all tangled up in
d network OF deceit by his attempts
to become a successful liar. was very
good and demonstrated the folly of
trying to fool too many people with
hastily concoctcd story.
f. l.. Sandberg and julie P. Nor
ton as Mr.. and Mrs. John Brown,
and Thomas S. Macauley as Wig
son." the butler, were comedy char
acters who kept the audience laugh
ing most of the time.
The play was acted very we'll,
there being little if any flavor of the
amateur noticeable.
Dancing was enjoyed after the
performance.
The play was given under the aus
pices Of Martha Chapter. Order of
Eastern Star. and Harmony Quarry
club with the cooperation Of other
Masonic bodies. Members of the
Rainbow Girls sold candy and re-
freshments while DeMolay boys
were ushers.

Banking Facts
for Boys and Girls.
By John Y. Beaty Editor Of
the Bankers Monthlr,

MORTGAGES. like bonds and stocks. ars
often used Is security for loans from .
bank A mortgage Is q paper showing that
money has been loaned ON real estate or other
real property, and that the person who made
the mortgage promises to give the property II
the mortgage Is not paid. The mortgage heart
interest. That Is. 1t includes a promise 10 pay
q definite amount Of interest at stated time
So in this respect It Is like bond.
A mortgage can be transferred from cuh
person to another. The mortgage IS Ike u
stock certificate IN that it is made out % q
specific person and cannot be claimed by apy
one else unless the person to whom 1t has been
made out has assigned it to another.
A mortgage can be sold as q rule, but not
quite so readily Is . bond unless 1t happens
that the mortgage Is ON q well known property
and is one of q number Of mortgages
The banker Hikes q bond as security better
than stock or mortgage. When he has good
bond that Is well known ON the market it can
be sold almost On sight If the note In not
paid he can sell the bond and get his money
On the other hand, stock certificate Is NOT
50 readily sold. The income from stock Ger.
ufcate Is received IN the form Of dividends
which are shares in the profit made BY the
company Issuing the stock. II the company
does not make profit no dividends arc paid:
II the company makes only enough profit
to pay the interest On It's bonds the stock does
not earn anything. Because Of this dt6erencS
between STOCKS and bonds the bank usually
requires that the person Offering the stock aS
collateral security shah give q greater vAlue
than when he Oilers bonds
For exampse. Il your father owns $500 worth
OF stock he might not be able to borrow more
than $2S0. whereas On bonds with the SAND
company he might be able 20 borrow 500.
A mortgage b somewhat similar 20 stoeN
l.. kl,nks q "a
mortgages that are offered Ia most banks are
mortgages On houses or business blocks that ar6s
not known except IN the town where they
are located. Consequently the banker n he
found It necessary 70 seN the MORTGAGE might
have greater di6aculty IN finding buyer be:
cause no one but local residents would lmUR
the value Of the mortgage.

Jinmys Jaw dropped open In amazement.

Jimmy assured him that he would, and then
took his departure. He was stin breathless with

began to pound out the story he had secured
