FORTY-SIX LESS
In the first three months of 1925
there were 40 deaths due to industr-
ial accidents in Ontario. In the same
period of 1924 there wore 92 deaths.
This decrease is quite extraordinary,
especially when it is remembered that
the number of industrial deaths in
Ontario has averaged over 30 a month
for the past several years. The value
of these 46 lives can hardly be Gatirn-
ated but the reduction, at least, in-
dicates that there is a little more
care and thought being need by all
concerned.
The total number of aceid ents re-
ported to the. Workmen's Compensa-
tion Board in the first quarter of
1925 was 12,655 -also a noticeable
decrease from the first three months
of 1924 when there were 14,144 ac-
cidents reported to the Board. Ac-
• cidents in the past three years have
cost industry in this Province, fn eon
pensation payments alone, an average
of over six million dollars each year
and, in this manner, have added to
the tax burden that the Province must
face, Compensation lessee offer one
point of attack in the effort to lower
costs, 'Accident prevention makes
greater returns to the employee whose
life or limb is saved than to the em-
ployer whose compensation, costs aro.

Life Insurance in Canada Grows.—
Ordinarylife insurance nsurance sales in Can-
ada during June were the highest yet
recorded, it is reported. The total
sales of the reporting companies
which do 83 per cent of outstanding
business, were $44307,000. This is
23 per cent more than in June last'
year.
Scrub Bulls Reduced,—Scrub pulls
in Perth county have been reduced
82 per cent. since 1922 as a result of
the activities of the Perth Live Stock
Improvement Association. The first
canvass showed that 235 scrub sires
were being -kept. A review made re-
cently according to the secretary, M.
C. McPhail, showed that lit all there
are now only 42 being used, a reduc-
tion of 193 animals or 82 per cent.
.Has Been Off Duty. -The Kincard-
ine Review -Reporter reports the ab-
sence of the genial Conductor on our
Ryer:— Conductor Charles Cowley
left for Sarnia on Friday morning
last. They are holding an Old Boys'
re -union there and as that has been
his home town for many years before
he came to Kincardine, Ire will be one
of the leading figures among the home
comers.
Nearly: Reached.— It is reported
that the objective of $15,000 for the
purpose of completing the "Huron
College Diamond Jubilee fund," has
just about been reached. Said fund
is for the purpose of 'increasing heat-
ing and other facilities in Huron col-
lege, so as to make it more comfort-
able as quarters for Anglicanstudents
,attending the University of Western.
Ontario, as well as for theological
students in residence there during
winter months. St. John's Church,
Brussels, has contributed along with
the rest.
Baca Auto Spill.—Friday morning
the occupants of a Ford car had a
narrow escape from death on .the
north gravel road, just opposite the
house 'owned by, Ed. Lowry. It ap-
pears that three cars of young people
from Trowbridge vicinity were on
their way to the lake side when the
ear driven by a yoqq"rig fellow named
Banks, decided to pftss the others, the
car hit some gravel went into a ditch,
and when headed for the other aide of
the road, the car turned over, and re-
peated a second roll, The driver had
to have & few stitches put in his head
and the young ladies received medical
attention. The car—well it looks like
a junk yard.
A Surplus of Public School Teeck-
ers.--' The London Advertiser says
that there are now too ,many teachers
in the province of Ontario. It is
stated that there are 250 applications
from qualified teachers for posttions
on the London Public Schools staff,
and no vacancies. The Advertiser
criticizes the system which continues
to turn out new teachers when there
are so many at present looking for
schools with vacancies. It is evident,
however that the Normal Schools have
made the test very high this year, for
it is noticeable that those attaining
first-class certificates are fewer than
usual. It is only a few years ago
that the teaching profession would
dsappear entirely but teaching is now
like other prefessionsrand trades, not
enough jobs to go around.

the gathering.
Going Up.— It is expected that
Brussels' tire dealers will have to ad-
vance prices. Tires, not all rubber,
will probably go up from 10 to 15 per
cent. and tubes, which are nearly, all
rubber, are expected to increase from.
15 to 20 per cent.
Adolescent School Act to be Strict-
ly Enforced.— The Ontario Depart
ment of Education has insisted that
the regulations of the adolescent
school act be enforced, meaning that
working children up to 16 years of
age have to attend school at least 400
hours a year.

R. C. McGowan's horse which was
tied in fron of Mre. J. C. Wilson's
residence on Monday night, made a
dash for freedom. It left the buggy
in front of the rectory and dashed
down Dinsley street, knocking the sil-
ent policeman from its moorings, and
took a tumble just opposite the Com-
mercial House where it was caught.
Other than to the.jiarness, there was
not much damage done.

PALMERSTON HIKERS
VISITED BRUSSELS
35 Cars Make Tour of District Ad-
vertising Their Celebration
Last Wednesday evening Brussels
had the pleasure of a visit from the
citizens of Palmerston along with.
their Brass Band.
Word had been received that the
Palmerston Hikers were going to pay:
Brussels a visit and would arrive a-
bout 7.30 p.m, and sure enough near-
ly on schedule time, the citizens could
hear the auto horns coining down Mill
street. The cars turned at Elizabeth
Street and went up to Flora street
and then turned onto the main street,
At the Queen's Hotel eorner, the
Band played several selections and
Reeve Backer, on behalf of the citi-
zens, welcomed the Palmerston 'con-
tingent to Brussels. George Bowe
Chairman of the Committee, replier:
on behalf of the visitors. The male
quartette closed the short visit and
ears were soon headed homeward.
No doubt many citizens from Brussels
will take in some of the sports at
Palmerston Aug. 2,3, and 4, as a re-
sult of this visit.
. The Hikers visited Harriston, Clif-
ford, Fordwich, Gerrie, Wroxeter,
Bluevale, Wingham, Brussels, Atwood
and Listowel. , The Palmerston Spect-
ator published some notes by the way
and we clip a few:—"In one of tite
smaller towns visited, one of the
Palmerston party trying to locate the
chief officer of the town, went, up to
a man who was driving in a buggy-
and
uggy
and asked, "Where is your Mayor,"
The native replied; "0h, I haven't
got her out, she got kicked the other
day." — "Are the roads around Pal-
merston and Listowel the only poor
ones in the country?"
Herb. Cunningham, son of John
and Mrs. Cunningham, of town, had
his car in the�roce si n. 11
so His P
friends were glad to see him.

KITCHENER LEADS IN
ONTARIO MOTOR CARS
Has More of Then: Per Capita Than
any of the Other Cities
According to a report issued by the
Department of Railways and Canals,
Ottawa, there are .more motor cars
in Kitchener, Ont„ population consid-
ered, than in any other inland city in
Ontario. Only five cities in the pro-
vince have a higher per capita motor
registration. These five include the
three motor manufacturing cities of
Windsor, Oshawa and Chatham, and
the two border cities of Sarnia and
Niagara Falls.
In Windsor there is one motorcar
for every 5.80 persons of its popula-
tion„Niagara Falls is next with an
auto for every 5.95 persons, and
then comes Chatham with one car for
each 6.37 people. Oshawa is fourth
with one for 6.89 persons, and then
follows, Sarnia with a fiivver for
every '7.77 persons. Kitchener is in
sixth place, and according± to the
figure given there are 2,651 automo-
biles in Kitchener, which nteans that
if all Kitchener's population wanted
to go for a motor ride at the same
time 8.20 persons would have to be
jammed into every car in the city.
St. Catharines runs Kitchener a close
seventh place, however, there being
one motor car for every 8.24 of St.
Kitt's population. Then follow in

HARD TIMES
M 5
The following French story has a
moral all its own.
A portraia painter sat in his favor-
ite cafe in Paris sipping his wine.
His first small bottle finished, he was
about to order more when his eyes
fell on a headline in the paper "Hard
Times Are Coming,” so instead of
ordering his usual second bottle he
'called for his check.
"Is there anything wrong with the
wine?" asked the proprietor.
"The wine is good, but I did not
order a second bottle because hard
times are coming and we must econo-
mise," explained the artist.
"Hard tines," said the landlord.
"Then my wife must not order the
silk dress we planned, but must take
one of cotton."
"Hard times," repeated the dress-
maker when the order was cancelled.
"This is no time to expand. I must
not make the improvements I had
planned in the .place."
"Hard times, eh?" said the build-
er, when the dressmaker cancelled
the building plans. "Then I cannot
have my wife's portrait painted."
So he wrote to the artist and can-
celled his order.
After receiving the letter the artist
went again to his favorite cafe and
ordered a small bottle of wine to
soothe hint. On a nearby chair was
a paper in which he had read of hard
times two days before. He picked it
up to read more closely and found it
was two years old!
