displayed.
How much of your wages do you fritter
away each week on trifles ?
If you reckon it up you will probably find
that at least five per cent. disappears thus
"like snow wreaths in thaw."
If your weekly wage is $15.00 you speird
easily 75 cents of that on "mere nothings"
before you know it-
But suppose you said to your employer:
"Each week 1 want you to keep 75 cents
out of my pay envelope and invest it for
me in War Savings Stamps. As you buy
each War Savings Stamp put it in my pay
envelope, and go on doing that for a year."
You will never muss that 75 cents. But at
the end of the year you will have over
$36.00 invested in Savings Stamps. By
then they will be worth considerably more
than $36.00, and by 1924 they will be
worth $45.00.
War Savings Stamps are guaranteed by the
Dominion Government. They have the
whole resources of Canada as their security,
the same as Victory Loans. And they bear
an unusually high rate of interest. You can
cash them at any time, however, if you
need to.

A BIG DEGREASE
IN PERTH'S RATE
At the closing session of the Perth
County Council at Stratford on Fri-
day a by-law was adopted for the
raising of $73,202 for the needs of
the county during the year. As the
equalized assessment is $32,533,800
the rate will be 2% mills. This is a
big decrease from Iast year when at

Memorial Hospital at Listowel. In-
creases of $100 and $50, respective-

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
REPORT
The report of the fourth year's
operation of the Workmen's Com-
pensation Act, which is now printed
contains much interesting informa-
tion concerning industry, workmen,
and aecidents in the province.
During the year $3,514,648.47
was awarded for compensation, or
$11,600 a day and $369$4a.ee' for
medical aid or $1219 :t day the num-
ber of cheques issued pe-' day was
248 for compensation and 139 for
medical aid.
Payment was made for 40,930 ac-
cidents 382 of these being death
cases 2549 causing some degree of
permanent disability, 25,446 caus-
ing only temporary disability and
12,555 involving only medical aid.
It is estimated that over 500,000
workmen are covered by the provis-
ions of the Act, with total wages a-
mounting to about $400,000,000 an-
nually.
As the disability in serious accid-
ents often contin-Hies into and some-
times beyond the following year,
complete statistics can only be given
for the prior year.
These show that about 75 per cent
of the injured workmen were British
subjects and 25 per cent foreign, 6%
per cent being Austrians, 6 per cent
Italians, 5 4 per cent Russians, and
2 per cent citizens of the United
States.
The average weekly wage of injur-
ed workmen was $19.06 and the av-
erage age 37.07 years.
The total time loss from accidents
during the year was 565,526 days;
the average length of temporary dis-
ability was 21 days.
Machinery caused about 32 per
cent of all the accidents; the hand-
ling of moving objects 28 per cent
and falls of the workmen 10 per cent
The most prolific individual causes
were saws which caused 892 accid-
ents; lathes 891; presses 813; hoist-
ing aparatus 785; abrasive wheels
781; belts, pulleys, chains and
sprockets 390; of which 7 were fa-
tal; planers, jointers and edgers 260
shapers, moulders and headers 121;
shafting couplings and set screws 75
of which 6 were fatal; Falls from
vehicles caused 260; collause of sup-
port 276; Hot and inflamable sub-
stances caused 1018 accidents; fall-
ing objects caused 1256 and runa-
way animals 98.
In the present industrial condit-
ions the existence of a law which is
just and satisfactory to labor and
not unduly burdensome to industry
is of the highest importance and the
success of the present Ontario Act,
must be a great satisfaction to those
responsible for its enactment, among
whom the representatives of labor
took a leading part.
While the amendments at the
last session have put the Ontario law
In the first place in regard to bene-
fits to workmen, the rates of assess-
ment are low compared with
other places. The explanation is in
the fact that Ontario has a collective
liability state system in which the
comparatively small cost of admin-
istration is mostly born by the Prov-
ince, and in the fact that the provis-
ions and methods of administration
of the Act are very simple, speedy
and inexpensive.
Statistics show that from 40 to 80
per eent of what is paid by employ-
ers for private insurance elsewhere
is consumed in expense and profits
and less than 25 per eent of what the
employer paid under the employer's
liability system actually reached
workman or his dependants, the rest
being absorbed in legal and other
expenses.
Comparisons of re les of assess-
ment are significant. The steel works
rate, for instance under the collect-
ive liability system is in Ontario
31.70; Nova Scotia 31.90; and 01110
$1.75, as compared with a rate un-
der the private or mixed system of
33.74 in Michigan and ,$5,02 in New
York. For mason work the rates are
Ontario 31.50., Nova Scotty 32.00;
Ohio $2.85. itiiehiean $5.41 and New
York 38.74. In Mbchigan the bene-
fits are ittle more than hall what
they are in Ontario,

ers was held in the town hall, McGill-
