HOME AND FARM FERTILE
FLAUE FOR FATAL ACCIDENTS
New Free Booklet is Amazing Re
volution of common Causes
of Preventable Accidents
accidents in this country actually oc-
cur in the home, ds designed to
awaken the people of the rural dis
tricts of Canada to the distressing
prevalence of preventable accidents
at home, and to show how easily
most of these accidents can be pre-
;vented.
Though it is full of good advice,
it is not necessary to read the book
let to discover how amazing fertile
the average home find farm is in the
things that make for accidents. The
whole story as to how accidents hap
pen and how they can be prevented
is given in actual photographs, over
300 of which are reproduced. There
is also a chapter on first aid reme
dies, telling exactly what to do when
anyone gets hurt,
Safety organizations have done
much in the cause of accident pre
vention in the cities, but hitherto
little has been done in the cause of
accident prevt ution on farms and in
country homes.
The Bank of Montreal by issuing
this booklet is doing its part. to
supply the deficiency. Get a copy.
It is free, and may save life or liml

JMd you ever look around your
home and farm, and note how many
preventable causes of accidents are
threatening th.e wellbeing and even
the lives of those who are near and
dear to you?
Perhaps many of those things are
so familiar to you that you would
not notice them anyway, and per
haps it never struck you that your
home and its surroundings may be
even more dangerous than, the traf
fic-crowded streets of a big city.

andtfw -Northern Electric
HE relationship between the Bell Telephone
Company and the Northern Electric Company is
direct and definite. It consists of:—•
1. ownership—the telephone company controls the
Northern Electric by owning 51 per cent of
Northern Electric shares.
2. contract—the telephone company has a contract
with the Northern Electric by which the latter
sells equipment to the telephone company at
favorable prices.
The telephone company thus has direct control of its
source of supplies. Without control there would be
constant risk of being forced to pay high prices for
apparatus or of being unable to Secure consistent
standard of equipment. . '
If either of these conditions prevailed the result
would be higher rates or poor service for telephone
users.
Apart from this protection there are two definite
results secured. These are; first, dividends; second,
low prices.
1. dividends from Northern Electric
Op HE Northern Electric has- developed ’from a small
beginning to an outstanding Canadian success.
In 1928 its total business was more tlian $25,000,000
which is four times its business in $914.
J .48 per cent of tliis total was with the Bell Telephone
Company. 11 per cent was wittf' other telephone
companies and 41 per cent was ir^general electrical
business in Canada and abroad.

lareholder. 51 per

In all this total of success, the
pany participates as majority

have come back to the telephoiu^company’s revenues.

way to India, was ordered. The
“war,” which lasted from May 3 to
May 28, 1919, came to a speedy con
clusion, when the Indian army occu
pied the Afghan town of Dakka.
Amanullah Khan saw the error of
his ways; he pleaded for peace, and
lost his annual subsidy. In the eight'
and a half years which have elapsed
eince the “fourteen days war,” he
has devoted himself to the improve
ment of his country. Schools have
been built. In Kabul, the capital,
he has founded a girls’ school where
some 2,000 students are enrolled.
Another innovation of his majesty
is a popular- assembly which he has

Strong drink does not find ■I^VOr
with Amanullah Khan. He is a strict
Moslem and keeps to the letter of the
law regarding liquor. In the royaL
•palace at Kabul no wines or spirits
are permitted under any circum
stances. Even perfume which con
tains alcohol is not allowed. Ama-
nullah Khan, however, has only one
wife, and unlike most Moslem ladies
she is not kept in strict Pudah, but
accompanied her husband on hid
European tour.
Politically, Amanullah Khan is
Liberal. Doubtlessly his visit to Eng
land will do much to enlarge his
mind, and will be reflected in fresh
development of his country.

The old English Yuletide Festival
held recently hi the Empress Hotel
in Victoria, B.C., proved to be one
of the most popular events of last
year. Carols and yuletide music
were rendered, the ancient “Ches

“Mrs. Wardle’s Christmas Party”
was produced. The festival cul-
« minated in a ball at which 'some
seven hundred persons attended. It
is- believed that plans are already
being made for a larger and better
celebration next year. v

A change in telephone numbers
has drawn attention to the train,
inquiry office in the great Windsor
Street Station of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway in Montreal. The
girls who are or. duty there handle
each on an average of 200 calls an -
hour, and as many as 300 an hour
during rush times. They carry
most of the information in their
heads and seldom have to refer to
a time-table. They are asked
queer questions somet’mes. Re
cently someone asked, "When does
the afternoon begin,” and the old
poser turned up. “What time docs
the four o'clock (rain leave.”
Ask us to demonstrate this wonderful combination instrument—the newest
idea in radio. No .attachments to connect, no connections to change, no
bother or fuss. Now it’s a’radio—click!—and it’s a phonograph—click!
—and it’s a radio again. Convenient terms, if desired.

COOK BROS.Hensall, Ont.Dr. Knechtol, a farmer residing
about four miles cast of Souris,
Manitoba, has about 6 COO bushels
of Reward wheat which he is go'ng
to ship out all over Western Can
ada in two-bushel lots, as soon as
the list of addresses arrives from
Ottawa—for the project is under the
supervision of the Dominion Gov
ernment. As is pretty generally
known, Reward wheat, matures
about a week earlier than Marquis
and, for this reason, can be grown
further north. This early ripening
means, roughly, that a new strip of
country 75 by 1.000 miles, is made
available for wheat growing.

Froof of this is seen in comparing costs of building

The average east of building other systems in Can

$227 pet telephone. The cost in Ontario and Quebec
has been $189 per telephone, or 17 per cent less
