Towt We heard a man say: "Let the Telephone Company use the profits they made in prosperous years, if they need money to build more plant." That's exactly what we have done! Shareholders of the Bell Telephone Company of Canada have been paid only a moderate return on the par value of their stock — no morel We have made no distributions of bonus stock, no 'melons' have ever been cut; no distribution ever been made of surplus earnings. Every share of stock has brought us its par value, or better. For forty years we have consistently used all surplus earnings, all idle reserves to buy more telephone plant. Every dollar has gone back into the business to extend it and serve new subscribers. What has this policy meant to the public? The Board of Railway Commissioners at our last rate investiga- tion found that if we had not pursued this honorable course of turning all surplus earnings back into the business we would have had to provide in the year 1918 alone an additional $908,000 out of revenue to pay interest on the plant so secured. This, of course, would have meant higher rates to subscribers. The fact is, we need millions of new money just beaus our funds have always boast work, keeping down our bond sod stack issues. and ensuringbow rates to our subscriber Bisset got iso through errors. Barlow singled. Webb was hit. Johnston grounded out. R. Bisset got on through an error. Pridham, at bat the second time in this frame, struck out.

Bisset got on through errors, was forced at second by Pridham, Sturgeon singled, scoring Pridham, Stur- geon stole second and scored when Wig- gins hit to left. which was dropped by Holtzman. This ended Goderich'a scoring. The features were the all-round heavy hitting of the Goderich team, Johnston's catch in the fourth, when he came from behind a car and made a one -handed stop of Weir s sure triple, and Wiggins pitching.

League Season Finished—What About Next Year? - The Huron County Baseball League games have all been played by the -differ- ent teams composing the fair -team League, and all reportsifrom the places represented indicate that all are satisfied with the first season of the League's or- ganization. Zurich wins the champion- ship. Crediton.second. Clinton third and Goderich fourth. Goderich's poor show- ing is attributable to several causes, the main one lack of pitchers.

The other three pitchers, Wiggins, Sanderson and Barlow, did some good work. land the fault of the team's low standing in the Leakur is not 10 be laid at their door. A queer thing about the Goderich tram is that the games they did win were won from the two leaders in the League, while the third-place tram took all, the games from them. One of these games had to be played a second time or, account of a protest entered by Gcderich. Now, what .about next treason ? Will the Huron County Baseball League be on the map next year' We think it should be. The tour teams have all cleared expenses. perhaps some of them have a little sur. plus. We hope they have, and that they will all see their way clear to remain in the League next season. Another town should be taken into the League next season. It would make the series more interestirg. The gond support given the team this season by the people of Goderich shows that the townspeople will support baseball if the town's players are capable of winning a fair proportion of their games Nobody expects them to win Il•outinued on page R► get good satin. this Big Clearin Sale a t t FINE REPAIRING Bring your tread -warn tires to -u and let us retread them for you anti get an extra 2,000 to 3,000 extra mile- age out of tires that are practically worthless, or let us reline your tire. which will strengthen it 50 per cent.
