That such a great newspaper should condesend to the pampering of the egotistical pomposity of these people is more a cause for regret than of surprise. The tendency to swelled head has, however, been growing more and more pronounced since.

The limit of purchase has been fixed at ten shares to any individual, so that the benefits of partnership in this substantial and growing utility comâ€" pany may be shared by the many inâ€" stead of the few. That since 1924, when the preferred shares were first issued, all dividends on them have been paid in full tells a convincing story of the soundness of the investment. Because Timmins has its own comâ€" munists there is perhaps special atâ€" tention given here to the recent affair in Toronto where the communists atâ€" tempted to hold a meeting in the park after being forbidden to do so by the police.
