' TELEPHONE DEVELOPMENT IN 1923 The activities of the Bell Telephone Company of Canada in 1923, as des-. el`osed by the Annual Report received by Manager Eumball, were on a scale unexampled in the history of the corn- . pally-. Perhaps the most significant development of recent years is the changed attitude of the public 'to-. wards: the telephone, As the report says; "Service is now required oi as in homes and small places of busi- ness which a few 'years ago, court not have been considered a possible market.. , . Thus, within our present. boundaries, the telephone field is broadening daily; therefore, we are o- bliged to inset demands for a rapidly growing local service." Telephone revenues for the year a- mounted to $22,225,714.24 and expen- ses $18,044,455.,87, leaving a net of $4,181,258.87 from which to pay bond interest, dividends, allotment to the Benefit -Fund and provision for sur- plus.

These pullets are known as second genera-' tun birds.... It is from these pullets the offspring of the registered damns,` providing they qualify in tfrn, that the first cockerels eligible"for the registration will be liaised, and it is tot have as large a niunber of these cock- erels as possible that breeder's are anxious to enter their birds in the contests. For the past twd years fe- males trans Canadian Egg : Laying contests have been register•ecd, and now somg of these birds' are being mated for' their second breeding sea, son: When the pullets from these matings qualify in next year's Laying contests, and are bred to approved males, the cockerels from these mat- ings, if suitable individuals, will be eligible for Registration. • 'A female that is typical of the breed and has no standard disqualifications, that lays 200 or more eggs which average 2 oze. each in the contest year qualidsis-ter: Registration, It will be noted then fhatany'female that •can herself cjual- ify is eligible for registration„ but when it conies to the registration at the Males this is much more difficult, ' With the males- it is a question or' pedigree. In order to have 'a cock- erel registered the 'qualifications are that his dam end his .grand dam must each be•registered, and .'for .the first few years` hssire and his grand sire nest; each be approved, After 1822' the sire and grand sire mutt also be registered. ' In addition to this the individual cockerel must pass a rigor- ous examination for , stamina, type 'and standard qualifications, ` It 'will be seen therefore that a registered cockerel- must be 'more than' the off- spring ilea < good mother he t:; muse, have in his veins the combined blood. ofatleast two generations, of.regrs-. feted, and good (and later registered).; sires.
