Tom Watson emphasizes the fact that he
doesn't want delay, but intends to get the
answer right away, by Long Distance. So a
call is put through and a deal, which might
have hung fire for days, is closed promptly.
As Tom Watson puts it: `With Long Dis-
tance there's no room for misunderstanding.
It gets results. And the cost? An insignifi-
cant part of our operating budget, although
we do it so frequently!"
Reductions in telephone rates—local and long
distance — in 1935, '36 and '37 have a/Jetted
savings to telephone users in Ontario and
....Quebec of nearly one million dollars yearly.

WHAT IS
THE EXPLANATION
Millhills Ransom was the name
of the 315,000 bull imparted: from
Scotland for the 0,A10, at. Guelph.
le did not cost the province of On -
torte anything at all, the Merciless
,price having been put up by a
number, of interested gentlemen.
Jlnt this animal did' atrtract a great
deal of attention, and, It is quite
possible that, a good many People
had the idea, teat Ton, Duncan
Marshall, when Minietor of Agri
cuUture, had actually purchased the
aninr,n1 and the prion had been paid
out of provincial fiords, Not so.
But Mtlihifis Ransom is' dead.
The o'1io'latl announcement was to
the effect that the ,buil died front air
attack of acute gaetrttie, During
his life' there was Much monition of
this imapont. When• ,Mr, ,Mars'ha.11
was lest in Peterborough at the
opening of our fair there 'vas' some
good.nMured reference to tits prize
pull anal it was so elsewhere,
matter be investigated because
when a government starts lavesdi
gating It means' it ,begins eiso , to
spend more money. But it would
be well to know how `conte that e,
coan'pany of visiting politictane
should have had such a fatal influ-
ence on the famous. bill from Scot-
land. Until that point is cleerod
up It may be that if tile members
of the Legielaiture decide to have
picnic parties' elsewhere the folk in
'the'eannutnd4y to be visited, will
want :o gather In Meir livestock,
pmt a lrmdlock on the barn door until
the visitors have departed to some
vousidorabie distance.

They Said So
(By A. R. K,)
¶ A started Clown the street with
B, and shortly atter they met 0, no
need for them to think; they were
not headed anywhere and had an
evening free from cane, decided on a
drink.
¶ Now A said he had some at
home, henever took a drink alone,
they took a little stroll; A said he
feared he might get siak, and then
he'd' need some liquor quick, he ex-
ercised control,
¶ Then B said he 11ad quite
enough, .they better come and taste
.his stuff, be haat two bottles home;
he never took in much said he,
't'would be as easy as could be, to
leave the stuff alone,
¶ Then C told of some ancient
suggesting that 'they come with
him, it was of good report; be said
it was seldom that be drank, or
poured the snuff within bis tank,
just took a little snort.
And it was nigh to rtmelve
o'clock, when they assembled down
the block, their breath was rather
strong; they talked' of poltics and
trade, events that passed' in gay
parade, they tlhen broke out in song.
¶ Tbey all declared ere they went
home, that they could leave the
stuff alone, and be forever through;
and yet with C and. A and B, it was
an easy thing to see—that's what
they &ken'! do.
S" -...ft.—..
Be fair to him, too
In the discussions provoked by these
articles, one point comes up so often
that it deserves an article to itself .. .
"The brewers," we .are told,
"in their own interest should not
support beverage rooms!"
The reasons given for this amazing
statement are as follows:
" Dry sentiment in this prov-
ince is much more concerned
with what goes on in public than
what goes on in private. If there
were no licensed hotels," say
these councillors, "you'd sell just
as much, but people would drink
it at home. Extremists wouldn't
be scandalized. They'd switch
their attack to somebody else."
In other words, the Brewing Industry
is invited to secure itself to spare the
feelings of a cynical minority!
In order to make things easier for
itself, it is advised to deprive the poorer
man of his liberty, while the rich man
can still drink comfortably at home!
Worse, it is advised to drive the
working -man to break the law. For
that again would be the inevitable result
of closing the beverage rooms!
Under no circumstances will the
Brewing Industry take that kind of
advice. We support the beverage room
because the British nations have proven
out -in -the -open control the best way!
g ss>ttrm'a
o u PEAKINoas man who doeenot indulge
b S in any alcoholic beverage, it is my
• considered opinion that the results in all
▪ civilized countries in which Prohibition
• has been tried, have altogether failed to
�° come up to the smallest expectation of
what it was expected to accomplish.
Rather, it resulted in a crop of boot-
leggers, hijackers, and enormous quan-
tities of poisonous liquors, which caused
the death of thousands. It not only
caused a thorough disrespect for the
Prohibition law but attacked the very
foundation of our British system of
respect for law and order."
