Progress of the Dairy Industry In Canada—City Dalryie Achieve- ments The dairy filthier, In Canada has come into greater 1)1'0141nm:tee lately because of the increased number or organizatione In which the public Ine vestor has a direct interest. Some statistics relating to the leading coma panies, the shares of which are traded Ai the Canadian markets, are present ed. Theme include City Dairy Co., Farmers' Dairy Co" Hamilton Dairlea, Ltd., and Eastern Dairies, Ltd. City Dairy's dividend record has • been enviable, It paid par value of 7 per cent. in 1921 and 10 per cent. in 1922, with a bonus of per cent, in 1922. Dividends of 10 per cent. were distributed'in 1923, In 1924, the stock was split 4 to 1 and the par value changed from $100 to $25, and $3 per annum was Raid in dividends, equal to 12 per cent. on the old stock. The $3 dividend was continued in 1925 and 1926, with a bonus in each year of $1 per share. At the end of 1927 the stock was again split 4 for 1, the new stock be- ing of no-par value, and on the new stock dividends at the rate of $2 per annum have been paid since. By means of the two splits the num- ber of shares issued has increased from 5,775 to 92,400 shares, the origin- al shareholders who have maintained their stock are now getting the equiva- lent of $32 per annum in dividend re- turns. This is in addition to the bonuses that have been paid in recent years. During the years 1921-1927, in - elusive, original shareholders have re- ceived $80 per share on their holdings in dividends and bonuses. . The Farmers' Dairy Public interest in Farmers' Dairy was created less than three years ago, when stock canie on the market. Previously, the company had been pri- vately owned. In 1926 the company paid 6 per cent. in dividends on its original 7,000 shares of $50 par value and in 1927 7 per cent was paid. The stock was then spit on a basis of 10 for 1, the 70,000 new shares being of no-par value. On these shares 25 cents per share was -aid last February and 25 cents.last August, indicating a rate of 50 cents per share per annum, or equal to $5, or 10 per cent. on the original shares. Eastern Dairies Limited ST, VITUS. DANCE A Trouble !hat Usually Attacks Young Children St. von dance is the pains genet- allY given to a disease described MY medical men as chorea. Tale trouble usually attaeke young children, though older people may be afflicted with, it. The most comma symptoms are a twitching of the face and limbs, .As the disease progresees the twitelling takes the form or spasms, in which the jerking motion may be confined to the face or all the Willis may be affected. Frequently the patient is unable to hold anything in the hands or walk eteadily, In severe eases the speech is often affected. The disease is due to debility of the nervee and relief comes through an enriched blood supply. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been most successful in reaching this trouble through their sliecific action on the blood, which it enriches and purifies. The following instance proves the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in this trouble. Mrs. Thomas Bowen, Bath, Ont., says:—"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been in use in my family for years and 'always with good results. I believe •they saved the life of my, only son. At Qten years of age he grew very nervous and the trouble developed into St. Vitus dance. His legs and arms would jerk and twitch, then his speech was affected, and his condition was pitiable. Just then there came to me a little book tell- ing of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to give them to him. By the time two boxes were used there was an improvement in his 'condition and by the time six boxes more were taken all traces of thetrouble had disappeared, and he was well and strong. I have also given the pills to my growing girls, and I know of no better strengthening medicine. I may add that the same applies to grown- ups as well." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Eastern Dairies, Ltd., is one of the newer companies to come into promi- nence and established business in Montreal, Ottawa, Hull, Toronto, Win- nipeg and other smaller centres. It is capitalized at 0,500,000 7 per cent. preferred stock isseed and 69,099 shares of no-par coner-on stock, issued. Net operating profits •in 1927 amounted he $427,061. Preferred dlyl- dends per annum amount to $175,000, hence the residue left to apply to de- preciation and common stock was $252,061. This was equal to $3.65 on the common, before depreciation. The management prudently made a rela- tively heavy appropriation for depreca ation of $164,382, which, when sub- tracted from profits, left an amount epual to $1.30 per share on the com- mon. . Hamilton Dairies, Limited This company has outstanding $750,000 7 per cent. preferred stock of $100- par value and 26,000 common shares of no-par value. Profits in the year ended January, 1928, amounted to $135,744, from which $52,500 was absorbed for preferred dividend for the year. The residue left applicable to depreciation • and common stock Was $82,244, or equal to $3.20 per share on the common. The company, however, made an extraordinary ap- propriation for depreciation of $75,569, equal to more than half the net profits before dividends, so that the residue actually left In the balanoe sheet ap- plicable to common stock was rela- tively small. Expected That C.F.R. Will Make New Offering of Common Stock A further new issue of common stock by the Canadian Pacific Railway at a comparatively early date appears probable, according to advices from Montreal. It is suggested that an is- sue of $30,000,000 would be made, or on a basis of 1 new share for each 10 held. It ie also suggested that the new stock would be issued at $15b er $175, which would bring valuable rights to shareholders.

(Mr. Dunning has announced that ten million dollars will be spent during the next ten years on the abolition of level cross- ings.) The Railway Commissioner, who represents the Province of Que- bec in particular, Mr, Thomas suggested most opportunely some time ago that the Provincial Government might also contribute to this work of security. The suggestion is an excel- lent one. The published figures show that the contribution of provincial governments, which is voluntary, bas not been much in excess of half a million in twenty years. It has just been announced that the Government of our provinceivill spend a sum large enough to keep open through the win- ter the "bootleggers' route" to the 'United States. it is just as important to set aside a decent sum for the sup- pressiou of level crossings.

"it is yet to be proved that restric- tions on speed limit have insured safety," says an editorial in the De- cember issue of "Successful Farming." "The smaller the town, the slower must autos run on its streets, with seldom a car or pedestrian to be hurt by a passing car. The larger the city, the- greater the demand that ears speed up and get out of the way, with pedestrians safeguarded by traffic signals. A jay -walker is a menace in this age of swift travel, "Instead of speed limits there should be drivers' licenses issued only to those who can prove their skill at the wheel, and licenses should be revoked for careless driving at any speed, any- where, any time. Put the responsibil- ity where it belongs, on the driver and car, not upon some speed law. More attention needs to be given to brakes and headlights. They are the key- stone of safety."
