The total amount of life insurance car- ried by the people of Canada is at present about 80,500,000,000 or aproximately $050 far every man, woman and child in the Dominion. The United States with $750 per head of popeiation is the only country in the world the exceeds Canada in the amount of life insurance carried Miss Ada Stackhouse returned home on Satarday from a six weeks visit with her brother, Dr. Stackhouse, at Ridgeway.

He was created a deacon in 1028 890,000, compared with the present and assisted Rev, Frederick Robertson, $2,500,000, The practice was stopped of St. Phillips' Church, Weston. but prior entirely. Now there is some agitation to coming here he was engaged as assist- that the list be put into print at intervals aunt to Rev. Conon F. .1 Sawyers, of St. of five years, Matthew's Church, Toronto. An egg contains a large amount of wat- er and the hetes body is likewise compos- ed for a great part cf water. The hen should drink approximately twice as much water by weight, as she eats feed. One hundred hens that are laying should con- sume about four gallons of water per day. In view of these facts it is apparent that the water supply is particularly import- ant. more so during the winter months. Failure to supply water properly hinders digestion and will cause constipation, with a resultant curtailment of egg produ.tion. Cost of operating an average automo- bile has declined three and a half cents a rare; or 35.7 per rent. since 1924. Great- er fuel and lubercation economy as well as longer life of present cars and improved highways account for the reduced cost The items involved in the cost are gasol- ine, oil, tires and tubes, maintenance, de- preciation, license, garage, insurance and interest. One third of the accidental deaths in Canada and the United States are attrib- uted to automobiles in a statistical survey compiled by the Metropolitan Life. Mo- tor cars are responsible for as many deaths as the four pi incipal diseases of childhood, measles, scarlet fever,whoop- ing hon -ing cough and diptheria combined, the survey shows. There has been one auto- mobile fatality this year to every four deaths front cancer, to every three from apoplexy and every seven and a half from heart disease, the leading cause of deaths. Comentratiug these figures, Metropolitan Life finds that mute than two per cent of all deaths are'n,tw due to automobiles. • ,i.yearr,tart.„h.w tors1,M,ati000wer.r•,M.,,•..,,a.w„a*riI i..1. OM. DR.

Cutt Elected Reeve (EGGS AND by Large Majority IRVINE WALLACE, CHARLES BELL, GECRGE WHITE AND J. C. HEF- FRON, COUNCIL FOR 1930. One of the most hotly contested munic- ipal elections that has occurred in Blyth in many years was that on Monday, par ticularly so in respect to the office of reeve, as it was thought by some that ow ing to the fact that Mr. Cutt had no pre- vious municipal experience, his chances were not as promising as that of Mr. Mills, who had held a seat on the Council for the past three years. However, the result of the vote shows that undoubtedly the voters did not take this fact into con- sideration and the large majority rolled up for the new reeve can largely be attri- buted to the personal popularity of Mr, Cutts In the contest for the Council it was generally conceeded that Messrs Bell and Wallace would have seats at the 1930 board, but in the selection of the other two members it was more doubtful as it was frequently thought that Mr. Laundy would get a place. The contest throughout was clean,no personalities indulged in and all contest- ants should be proud of this fact. There were 317 votes polled, the largest in the history of Blyth, being 51 above that of last year. The 1930 council looks like quite a sat• isfactory body of representatives of the people and it behooves every ratepayer to lend every assistance in helping them to manage our municipal affairs to the best interests of the municipality as a whole. The vote cast was as follows:- tREEviri Jas. R. Cutts.... . J. W. Mills.... Majority for Cutt COUNCIL Irvine Wallace Chas Bell George White J. C. Helicon E. C. Laundy Two methods are adopted at the Cen• tral Experimental Farm to protect fruit trees from injuty through being girdled by mice and rabbits. The first one is to wrap the trunks of the trees with building pa- per, and the other one is to encircle the trunk with a wire protector with a small enough mesh to prevent a mouse from go- ing e1. case the paper through it. In elft i 1 or protectors met be put close to he ground, or better still, set in a shovelful of cinders, These fotms of protection should be put on now, particularly on trees up to six inches in diameter. Unclaimed bank balances in all banks in the Dominion aggregate 03,527 003 and the number of accounts is not far short of 100,00'3, the latest returns to the Domin- ion Government reveal.

The maintenance of a department to return lost mail, generally carelessly addressed, costs over a half million dollars each year. Never mail anything of importance without your re• turn address plainly mmked, is a good rule to follow.

Than Jobnston In deference to public sentitnent the Standard Oil Company of California has caused 1200 of its bill boards to be torn down It is beginning to dawn upon many bill -board advertisers that their highway signs which mar the naturnl beauty of the countryside are an eyesore and an irritation to the great army of motorists who hold the chief buying pow- er of the nation, Instead of making good- will for theadvertisers, these signs stake bzd will. and therefore represent good money worse than wasted from an adver- tising standpoint. Canada's victories at the International Live Stock Exhibition and Grain Show in Chicago have been the subject of many eulogistic remarks, Among the coveted honors won by the Dominion were the championship for wheat, grand champion Shorthorn male and female, grand cham- pion Clydesdale stallion and mare, cham- pion car lot of market iambs, numerous champions in sheep classes. and many prizes in grain and seeds secured by ex- hibitors from Ontario west to Alberta. Probably the outstanding individual vie- tory was the capture of first prize for the hest bushel of wheat by a hitherto un( known farmer from the foothills of Alber- ta. This impressive showing once again demonstrates that Canada's soil and clim- ate are -the most favorable in the world for producing the highest quality farm prodeiets.
