There were no skyscrapers until the telephone came into use. Without telephones a high build- ing would need too many ele- vators. There would be too much running up and down. Two vey 'opposite things the telephone has done--it has concentrated the office buildings and it has scattered the homes in the su- burbs. It believes in getting the business men together and in affording ready access to families living in suburban parts of the city: This is the highest building in the British Empire--the Royal Bank Build- ing, King and Yonge Streets, Toronto. The Woolworth Building, New York, has 55 storeys and is 750 feet high. More than 230 miles of wire are concealed in cables running between the walls of this building, making habitable a renting area more than eleven acres. The demands upon the tele- phone today are most exacting. Besides the great volume of local telephone calls which must be handled quickly, and accur- ately, the demand for long Distance connection to distances unheard of a few years ago. Calls from Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and other Eastern cities to Vancouver, San Francisco, Florida--even to Havana, Cuba, are of common occurance. The extraordinary achievements in telephone transmission make conversation, over these great distances perfectly clear and satisfactory and ordinary con- nection is established in a re- markably brief time. Engineers have made wonder- ful progress in the field of wire- Jess or radio telephony. They recently gave a demonstration * of wireless telephony to the visiting members of the Inter- national Communications Con- ference at New York. } delegates from many nations, assembled at the * Wardorf- Astoria Hotel, were able to listen in to a conversation between 'the Captain of a ship cruising _ on the Atlantic Coast and a man on Santa Catalina Island, 37 'miles off the coast of California in the Pacific. The wireless telephone has already accom- plished a great deal in providing communication ¢ places where wire connection was impracticable, and with ships at'sea. It promises to so supplement and complete the system of wire-conducted tele- phony. in the near future as to reach ractically all the far cor- ners of the earth and sea. Wire- {ess is not a substitute for the : esent system, but rather a * complement and extension of it, that soon will leave no quarter 3 8 beyond reach of the 80 "considering the won- rful progress the telephone art has made in such a compar- y brief time and all that it as meant to the comfort and eing of the people, espec- n this side of the sea, I we are justified in regard- e telephone, as we said at sinning of the talk, as the ervant of the Age. riot of color unsurpassed? ~~ in Get a healthy rivalry started and |.

Readers of this col may still recall their startled surprise as they read the news. Mrs. E. Wagg is visiting in Port Huron for a few weeks. A young man who hasn't shovelled the snow off his sidewalk this winter, kicked like a steer when he got down town yesterday, when he found that someone had shovelled a path for him.

Mr. John Jeffrey, who has been visiting in the City and Weston, has returned home. » Mrs. Jas, Warren has returned home from Oshawa. Sorry to report the illness of Mrs. Russell Butson. We understand that Mr. William Midgley is seriously ill. A happy social hour was spent at the school last week when the scholars presented their teacher with a beauti- ful valentine. = A good program of choruses and solos were given, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Hope were visiting with friends on Scugog on Sunday. Mr. Alvin Hunter, Mrs, Jos. Peel and Robert Hunter were in Pickering on Monday attending the funeral of the late John Boyes, one of the oldest residents of that district, having reached the advanced age of 86, To quote the "Bingville Bugle" we have been having quite a spell of weather lately. However, a little bit of real Canadian weather won't hurt us, and if the amount of snow shovel- ling being done, is any evidence, the men of the Village are a muscular lot. { To run a newspaper all a fellow has to do is to be able to write poems, discuss the tariff and money ques- tions, umpire a baseball game, report a wedding, saw wood, describe a fire so that the readers will shed their wraps and make a dollar do the work of ten, shine at a dance, measure calico, abuse the liquor habit, test whiskey, subscribe to charity, go without a meal, wear diamonds, in- vent advertisements, sneer at the snobbery, oyérlook scandal, appraise babies, delight potato raisers, mini- ster to afflicted, heal the disgruntled, fight to a finish, set type, mould pub- lic opinion, sweep out the office, speak at prayer meetings, and stand in with everybody and everything.

Major C. M. Lamp- son, of London, England, one of the leading authorities on furs, stated re- cently at the Milwaukee Fox Breed- ers' Exhibition that there were only 18,000 silver foxes in the United States and that he himself could dis- pose of 10,000 silver fox pelts within two days if they were available. For 250 years silver fox fur had sold at a higher price than the fur of any other animal, the price tendencies were still upward. Dr. Albert Ovens, of Springfield, Ill, a pioneer fur farmer, is of the opinion that Canada will be the great~ est fur farming and producing country in the world, and that silver foxes and muskrats will prove im- The muskrat trade alone he estimates ax worth five million dollars a year, There are already in the Dominion, according to a return made by the Federal Bureau of Statistics, no few- er than a thousand fur farms, of which 960 are devoted to the raising of foxes. The stock on these farms total 21,438 silver foxes at the close of 1922, valued at $5,372,000. There were also 1892 other foxes, valued at $109,000. During. 1922 4512 silver fox pelts were sold, valued at $526, 408. Apart from the furs sent to market by the trappers of the north, it is not unr ble to pp that the muskrat and silver fox furs sold by settlers and fur farmers, and the beaver marketed by the Ontario Government from the Provincial parks, will return several mililon dol- lars annually to those engaged in the fur industry. --Toronto Globe, Feb. 16, 1924. 1 EI NOTICE The Arctic Silver Fox Ranch Co., is a going and growing concern with a splendidly equipped ranch, stocked with some of the finest foxes in the world.
