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

This ended their scoring.
Goderich made their total fourteen in
the fourth. R. 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. After the fust innings, when
Crtditon reached him for hve hits, he
allowed only two more in the remaining
Ave. The local team made only one error
during the six innings played.

Murney, who was counted on as one of
the pitching staff had his leg broken and
at the close of the season has jtst been
able to throw away the crutches. 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
