Lougheed of the Provincial Police reported to The Ontario to-day that a burglary had occurred Monday night at Roseneath. The Royal Bank was entered by persons yet unknown by forcing the front door. An attempt was made to blow the safe and the front combination was blown off, but the robbers were unable to make headway against the time lock. The door was forced by a heavy instrument. There was no sound heard by the neighbours as a heavy electrical storm was in progress about the time the break-in occurred. No traces were left by the bandits as the' rain obliterated all footprints. The Provincial Police are investigating affair and all clues will be traced to the ground.--Belleville Residents of Durham and Northumberland Counties who visited the Agricultural Section of the Provincial Government Buildings at the C. N. E. had an opportunity of seeing a very a editable disiplay of the major products of the two Counties. This exhibit, which consisted of apples, seeds, eanned goods, cheese, butter, eggs and live poultry, was one of the most attractive of the County displays. Many favorable comments were made by those who passed by and several enquiries were received regarding the resources of the district. The County Council deserves credit for supporting exhibits of this kind and the local Agricultural Representatives, Messrs. W. H. Smith of Brighton, and J. Y. Kellough of Port Hope, also deserve much credit for skill and good taste in planning and arranging an excellent exhibit Blind River, Ont., Sept. 10th.--Six I d'e in crossing smash, one perh; j fatally injured, three of picnic party I an from Blind River, two from Ot-i tawa, and one from Cleveland._ School Requires £*A G 00a Eyes The effect cf Eye Strain is shown in the efficiency of the young student.

TELEPHONES and AUTOMOBILES The most recent authentic figures showing the comparative number of telephones and automobiles now in use in Canada, do not substantiate the common belief that the automobile has out stripped the telephone. According to an official announcement of the Canadian Government Intormation Bureau at Ottawa, the Dominion now contains 945,072 Canadian-owned auto-mobiles, exclusive of motor-powered farm implements. This total is to be compared with 1,265,869 telephones in actual operation in Canada at the end of December, 1927, as re-ported officially by the Bell Telephone Company of Canada. In telephone development among the Provinces, Ontario leads wth a total of 561,043 instruments in service, or a percentage of 17.46 per 100 population. But British Columbia's ratio is higher at 18.71 for 108,556 instruments. Quebec has 262,784 telephones or 9.99 per 100 persons. There are 436,12<l automobiles in Ontario, a ratio of 13.7 per 100 population, but Quebec's 128,459 autos, second as to number in Canada, shows a percentage of only 4.9. Comparative figures have been compiled as follows: Province Phones Autos.
