During the fiscal year ended June 30, Canada's im- ports from the United States were valued at $802,000,000. Dr. Julius Klein, director of the U.

More American tourists spent more money in Canada this season than ever before. In 1900 the Canadian wheat acre- age was 3,600,000.

The devotional exercises of the af- ternoon sesion were taken by Cen- tralia Auxilary. "Dollars and Diens," a pageant presented by the young women of Zion Auxiliary, reading, given by Miss Jacques, of Exeter, and the exercises by the Mission Band of Main Street Church were certainly inspiring and let all present have some good ly eleven times as much. That is thoughts to carry home. something for the farmers in the Miss Chase, the speaker of the clay, United States to think about. They may torn to other and more profitable products when butter sells at 56 cents a pound in Toledo, beef at $17 per hundred pounds and hogs at $13 per hundred on the hoof. Producing something other than wheat, our farmer; will encounter less foreign competition and may make more money. But referring again to Canadian commerce, it is significant that there aree more than one thousand branch plants of United States manufactur- ers and merchants in the Dominion and American investments there 'total three billion dollars. The United States contributes en- ormously to Canadian development. That helps Canada to become our best customer. We both benefic by reciprocal relations. COMPLAINT BUREAU FOR ONTARIO SOON Motorist, Under New Plan, May Ba Traffic Officer and Can Lay Com- plaint. Toronto Stpt. 7 -Every motorist may be a traffic officer, under the plan of the new "complaint bureau" Which will commence operation throughout Ontario in a few day's, under the direction of the motor high- ways department of the Provincial Government. The new bureau is forwarding to MI police headquarters in the prov- ince supplies of cards, which will be available to all motorists desiring to report cases of reckless driving or other offenses against the highway laws of Ontario. Every complaint must be signed with the complainant's name. These will be forwarded to the cod tplaint bureau and the offend- ers against the regulations will be speedily brought to book.

Accidents Reach Highest Point In August Production records have been broken frequently by Canadian workers in the last several years and the reports to 'the Workmen's Com- pensation Board show that the ac- cident records reached a high point in August of this year when 8,022 accidents were reported to the Board. including 41 fatalities. This is over 1,000 accidents more than reported in August of last year and is the high- est point reached since 'the com- mencement of the Act. The benefits awarded during last month amounted to 3553,8.42.35, of which $96,298.69 was fon' medical aid. Benefits in Angst, 1928, were approximately $58,000 higher than in the same month last year. It will be remembered that the Wo- rkmen's Compensation Act of this Province contains a clause authorizing industries in the various classes to set up accident prevention associations and the statement has been made by those in authority that the experience of Oho classes taking advantage of this section of that act has been better. than that of the classes not organized for accident prevention work. Dealing with this phase of the sit- uation, R. B. Morleyfgeneral manager of the Industrial accident Prevention Associations, states that about 75 per cent of the death cases reported to the Workmen's Compensation Board involved some money payment. In the last four years'on which complete figures are available the number of death cases in the fifteen classes included in the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations has shown a steady decrease year by year being, 77-5462 and 45, The pay -roll of the Associations is slightly more than half of the total pay -roll tinder com- pensation, 45 death cases in the clasp ses included in that organization out of a total of 308 for all industries is indicative of improved conditions,- particularly onditions;particularly when it is remembered that 'cite death cases represent ap- proximately one-fourth of the total rest of compensation year by year. The Indu-tri tl Jaccident Prevention Associations have a membership of more than 8,700 industrial plants and the total pay -roll int the fifteen classes constituting :such membership, a c;timated for last year, Was over three hundred 'million dollars, 4. 4. 4.

Mere Were Women Constables Ono Hundred Year's Ago, Policewomen, about whom there gas been some discussion lately, are :bought by most people to be a com- )aratively modern development, be- longing to the last ten years. But there were policewomen long oetore the modern feminists demand- ed them, Women were appointed ^.onstabie as a matter of course 100 years ago. In those days the var- ious jobs in a village were filled in rotation by the people who occupied 'ertain lands, and if the occupiers were women, the law courts had de - :Med that they must take their turn. Exactly a century ago this led to e real state of 'petticoat govern- ment" in one Cheshire village, ittin- (hull Vernon, There the supervisor, or surveyor or highways, the overseer of the poor, and the constable were 111 women. To -day, we have our policewomen, our women councillors, and here and there a woman mayor. But id there any place In Britain which can show the same proportion of women in of - Oce as alinshull Vernon boasted In 1828? asks Answers. New Irish Betting Law. The Irish Free State Betting Act will expire in October and I under- stand that radical changes will be made in its successor to remove abuses possible under the existing system, writes the Dublin correspon- dent of the London Mail. At present malty betting races are large places in which hundreds of men, women, and children congregate and bet just as they would 011 11. race- course. The bookmaker writes the names of the hoses on a blackboard, shouts the odds, and takes the bets. The results are received by telephone and payments are made immediately. This causes many men to remain on the premises for hours at a time and squander their wages. It is probable that the new legis- lation will make it clear that no per- son must remain in a betting office after he has transacted his business and that the winnings shall be paid out on the following day. Fight New Observation Towers. The Ontario Department of For- estry has constructed eight new steel observation towers in the clay belt of northern Ontario and each of them will overlook a ratline of 20 miles. In staking the announcement, 19. J. Zav- itz, Deputy Minister of the Depart- ment, stated their erection means that the territory covered by the Spruce Falls and the Abitibi Pulp ec Paper Companies are now "tied up" with towers and telephones. 11ir. Zavitz stated further that 20 more towers will be built throughout On- tario this year, and when these are completed approximately 25,000,000 acres of timber will have boon brought under observation. l,tverpool's Fallen Soldiers.

WENDT JEWELER W !cIXSTEP UNDEVELOPED HMO HORSEPOWER OF CANADA IS ROOT 10,000,000 With All Available Power Developed and Utilized There Would Be Employment for a New Popu- lation of 6,160,000 Wage - Earners, Supporting Additional Population of 30,800,000 Souls, VALUABLE EVEN NOW. To -day, already, the part that power is playing in Canada in cheap- ening production in the expansion of industry, in the reduction of the cost of fuel, and in heightening the social and economic life of the peo- ple, is almost beyond computation: Fortunately, a$ if by Divine plan, our reat developed power resources are located in areas for distant from coal. Quebec and Ontario, for ex- ample, are barren of coal, but they are rich in Hydro power. The power developed by these two provinces supply the equivalent of 20,000,000 tons of coal per annum; so that it requires but a simple calculation to discover that Central Canada, which now imports 15,000,000 tons 0f coal each year, would have to import 53,- 4100,000 tons were it not for power, What that means in money kept in Canada, and what it means, too, to a part of the Dominion not infre- quently menaced by the spectre of tl coal famine, must be plain to the meanest intelligence. Development and installation of Ilyciro power in Canada proceeds at a tremendous pace. Consider, these figures : 1901 150,000 hep, 10)0 .1,000,000 -h,p 1020 2,500,000 hep. 1925 ...4,300,000 1927 4,833,266 h.p. During the first six months of 1928, according to official figures, de- velopment continued et an unabated pace, At the present 'date, indeed, it is estimated that the 'total instal- lation on the Dominion -is mere than 5,100,000 horsepower, which is just double the installation int the Do- minion at the end of the year 1920. Moreover, numerous undertakings .,..sem.,-qm4•414.44441., ,-,134, aro now in the initial stages of con- struction and others about to be com- menced, the result of which will be added at least 2,000,000 -horsepower more to the country's developed total by the end of 1930. I3y the end of the present year, it is safe 'co say, more than 81,000,- 000,000 will be interest in Canada in power. And this capital, let it be borne in mind; is mostly Canadian. We hear much in these days of the domination of our eneonomlc life by United States finance. That claim, whatever truth there may be in it, does not apply to the ownership of our power. The capital invested in it, by nations, is as follows: P.0 Canadian 65 9 'United States 15 British 6.3 Others 11.8 "Hydro development, in truth, has been Canada's greatest achievement during the past ten years. Mighty transformations are being made throughout the land. In Quebec small -sized and prosperous towns stand to -day where only a few years past, there was little but marshy land. A few miles front Ottawa the entire face of the countryside has been changed by a titanic dam across the Gatineau. This turbulent Laure- ntian torrent is now a placid river; water has been raised 20 feet; whole tracts of territory have been inund- ated. And out in Alberta, it is pro- posed to dam off glacial taxes, tunnel through a vast peals of 'the Rocklue to bring water to the Bow river for power purposes. The whole layout of nature is being challenged and clhanged." Toujours La Pdlitesse. Two flappers were discussing male acquaintance, and one of them stated that she disliked him.
