The superiority of electricity for lighting: for driving. industria! ana mining machinery; for producing heat for industrial processes; for the manufacture of many chemical compounds such as abrasives and fertilizer; for supplying power on the farm, for cooking, heating and op- erating a variety of labor-saving devices in the home and for every form of transportation--the super- fority of electricity for performing all these tasks is recognized. Therefore the use of electricity in America is limited only by the amount of power that can be gen- erated and as our natural resources will here stand us in good stead, this generation and the next neea have no fear as to the "'glving out" of electricity. But there is a big job ahead just the same. The fo- | creased demand means that a truly vast amount of electrical energy must be generated for consumption. Electricity is like a thoroughbred in that it must be harnessed before it is fit for use.

The Dominion Government, not without some hesitation, went into the Ca- nadian investment market with a loan of $172,000,000, and in less than a week this was increased $200,000,000. With this investment demand for Government and muni- cipal bonds, the Province of Ontario succeeded in fipating $40,000,000 ot bonds. This issue was taken up' in about three days.
