Deposits have increased from $1,083,316.58 in the preceding year to $1,235,009.35 which is a gain of 14 per cent. In the twelve months covered by the report 33 new branches were opened which means that penny banks are operating in 380 4 schools of the province. As pointed out by the ` president, M. A. Mackenzie, the gratifying re- sults obtained are due in large measure to the 1 continued co-operation of the separate agencies 1 that are at work-the Ontario Department of ` Education; various school boards and boards of education; chartered hanks and their staffs and, last but not least, the teachers. Every thought- ful person is glad to see the penny bank move- ment successful because it inculcates in the youthful mind a spirit of thrift that is retained after the earning power of_the individual be- comes important.

This is a world of strife. Now that the tumult has died away in Toronto the Nationalists of In_- dia are about to go on the war path. A Judging from Toronto papers recently the Maritime Provinces are not the only section where they take politics seriously. N0\v that the elections are over in Toronto readers of the daily papers from` that city willt once again get the news of the day. Hon. Rolbt. Fnrke is going to the Senate. To the genial farmer from Pipestone the Red Chamber will seem like port after stormy seas. Election of Major Bert S. Wemp as mayor,` of Toronto shatters the idea that the Toronto 'I`e1egram s influence in the city is on the wane. Those heavy snowfalls were tough on motor cars but were acceptable Christmas presents to the railways as far as passenger traffic was con- cerned. ' Once again confidence has `been noted in the French Government. Life of the French pre- mier these days seems to he one close shave af- ter another. Famous expressions of Torontoheadline writers during an election campaign: attacked, scored, denounced, refused, hit and rapped. A celebrated phrase: Mayor shouts and waves fist. ~ Headline in a Toronto paper says: Axes are wielded in wild. conflict. Readers glance hasf- , ilv at the subject matter below to learn if this refers to the mayoralty contest. l\Jl tin. .7(LlllL/ yulyuaty u if this means anything, it means that they are satisfied that their faith in advertising rests on a solid foundation, that they believe that every cent they spend on advertising will be returned to them an hundred fold, so that it will increase the prosperity of the businesses with which they are associated. What is sound policy for them is sound policy for all men in business, whether on a large scale or small scale. These men are winning success because of their faith in adver- tising`, and the man who does not think it worth while to follow their example is notlwide awake to the possibilities of development in his own business.-Oshawa Times. ` 9/\L Jvulu A demon wolf hunter up at the Soo has ta- ken 40 pelts this year. If he keeps on, what is the chap going to do who writes those hair- raising dispatches about wierd wolf operations and bears walking on the telegraph wires? Bert S. Wemp, newly elected mayor of Tor- onto, is a self-made man in the truest sense of the term. He entered the service of The Tele- gram years ago as an office boy and worked his way up to suburban editor and finally to the post of city editor. His connection with the pa- per gave him a particular advantage in the field of municipal politics and while he has disasso- ciated himself from active connection with the Telegram since he entered the mayoralty con- * test there isn't much doubt but what he is still a member of the staff. Under date of Dec. 21 The Lindsay Warder and the Lindsay Post collaborated on the pro- duction of a special edition of tabloid size the purpose of which is to boost the subscription campaign for the proposed maternity wing on the Ross Memorial Hospital. This hospital edi- tion, as it is called by the publishers, is a credit- able piece of work containing` articles dealing with the history of the Ross Memorial Hospital and the need of increasedfacilities and equip- ment for obstetrical work. It is proposed that the county make a grant of $50,000 to the en- terprise and that the rest of the money be rais- ed by popular subscription. Looking over the newspaper one would assume that nearly all the live-wires in the county are behind the move- ment which is a most worthy one. No doubt, with the support of the leading men of Victoria County, public organizations and the press the new wing will be a fact accomplished before; very long. Cornwall Freeholder-An Ontario judge recently com- mented that with the development of modern traffic, it will soon be necessary for pedestrians to wear tail lights when walking on the highways at night.

St. Mary's Journal-Argus-Looking over the congenial crowd at the Rotarx Club on Farmers Night, and listen- ing to the speeches, one was impressed by the fact that you can't tell farmers and townspeople apart as you could a generation ago; J. Lockie Wilson says the only di'er- ` ence is that the farmer has more intelligence. Lockie says it with a smile, but we have a hunch that he means.` nunrw mnr nf H: l Three or four inches of snow up in this coun- try causes little comment but in south-western Ontario, where winters are usually very mild, the effect is vastly different. Dispatches from Windsor this week state that every piece of snow cleaning equipment " was order- ed out the other day when three-and-a-half in- ches of snow fell in a few hours. For those who don't know Windsor this sounds like drastic ac- tion and one might opine that the snow would i melt away as it struck by an August breeze. Such is not the case, however. It is seldom the Border Cities are troubled with heavy snow- alls, and, as a consequence the public works departments there don t know much about Cop- ing with a serious storm when it comes their way. In New York City, Professor Barnes of Mc(}ill University has tried out his chemical method of attacking snow and it is said to work. If it is a success many thousands of poor fel- lows who now eke out :1 living` in the winter months wielding` shovels will find themselves up ztgxtitrst it. And as Windsor usually has an unemployment problem on its hands it is likely that the heavy snow-fall will prove a blessing for some of the workless up there. So it is an ill wind that blows nobody good. say: II; vuuu a only every word of it.

The university receives no aid from the city and yet in spite of this `Mayor McBride impudently declares that the uni- versity should be staffed with a. professorate that will continue to boost Toronto.

Now it turns out these nes were illegal. The other day a man was summoned for this offence but rather than settle he took the case to court. He had been doubly charged with reckless driving and not observ- ing the stop sign. Both cases were dis- missed when it was discovered that Bolton council had forgotten to pass the necessary bylaw to provide for the stop sign. ERIOUSLY BI'I"I`EN on their faces by a rat was the experience of the `ve-months-old twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. George Reid of Elmira re- cently. One of the children awoke one morning\ with a number of marks on his face which could not be accounted for by the parents and who attributed them merely to the child having acci- dentally scratched his face. The fol- lowing night, however, the parents` were awakened by the screams of the twin brother and the little one was bleeding profusely from some eighteen wounds and it was plain to be seen that the child had been attacked by a rat. for his face. principally about the eyes, was a mass of cuts where the teeth of the ferocious rodent had en- tered the tender esh. The first child bitten by the rat had some nine marks of the teeth on his face, and on the second night when the parents went to the cribside of their babes they found the little tot s night clothing saturated with blood. Both children were quite ill after the attack, but the injuries were not of a permanent na- ture. an 5: an GOLD RUSH has started on St.l Joe's Island, near Sault Ste. Marie, and a dressed turkey spread the tip; says the Sudbury Star. It all started when a prominent merchant donated a. number of turkeys for Christmas to deserving families. Mrs. J. B. Ham- mond, who dresscd a turkey presented by the merchant, found in its crop a gold nugget valued at $2.50. The tur- key was one of a shipment from St. Joe's Island and local prospectors are: busy trying to nd out which farm this particular bird came from. l HE COLUMBIAN, the organ of the l Knights of Columbus, has discov- ` ered the smallest Knight of Columbus in the world, and he proves to be a. former resident of Pembroke, says The Standard. The smallest Knight is Wee Joe Raymond of North Bay, who is not more than three feet tall and tips the scales at 52 1-2 pounds. He is now ` chief clerk to the master mechanic of i the T. and N.O. Railway and is said] to receive a higher salary, pound for! pound, than any other official of the road.
