'.IT Ihe local Board or Trade or its grain committee is asked to provide cargo space it will at once gel busy and do so. Otherwise it is beating the air. It is good to know that the Edmonton Board is interested in the development of this port. It is to be. hoped that we sjiall be handling grain from the KdniOnloit elevator before long'.

It is gratifying o note from the reports made to the policyholders at the annual meeting on February 4th that the 192S operations of Canada's pioneer Mutual Life Company compare very favorably with the record results achieved in. 1924. The 56th milestone in Mutuality marks 56 years of unbroken prosperity. Our Policyholders who alone constitute the Company rightly judge the strength and progress of the Mutual Life of Canada by its sut plus earnings from year to year. The surplus earned by thjs Company during 1925 totalled $3.796,982,4 lr-an increase of $296,724.41 over the surplus earned in 1924, in which year all previous high-water marks were far surpassed. These remarkably favorable earnings will enable the Company to continue to pay dividends to Policyholders on the same liberal scale in 19i6 as heretofore, and, in addition, the free surplus available for contingencies has been increased by $607,981.91. The amount paid to Policyholders in 1925 was $7,201,403, an increase of $969,252 over the 1924 total. Steady, Safe Growth in Business Healthy expansion of the Company's business is again recorded for 1925, by the end of which year the total in force amounted to J322.529.23S. At the end of 1924 the assurances in force totalled $295,729,866, so that 1926 showed a net increase of $26,799,419. The total new issue for last year was $45473477 an increase of $2,249e0 over the 1924 volume of new business. Notwithstanding this very considerable increase the expense ratio already notably low was again reduced on 1925 business. The percentage of income required to cover general expenses was cut from 15.50'i in 1924 to 15.23 In 1925. This economy in administration was one factor contributing to the exceptionally high surplus earned for Mutual Policyholders. Very favorable mortality and an equally favorable interest rate on Invested assets were other factors. Low Mortality and Higher Interest An extraordinarily low rate of mortality was eiptrienccx! in 1924.. the actual death strain btine only 36.01", of the expected, so that although th death claims paid In 1925 exceeded thote of 1924, the mortality ratio 37.95',. was still very favorable. Although throughout last year the trend in bond prices was toward higher figures (with consequently lower yields), coupled with a tendency toward lower ru of Irterett on mortgage loans, the Company waa able not only to maintain the average rate of interest earned on its invested funds, but to make a alight increase to 6.42',i. Assets Steadily Increase ...Inilt.t,Te of ,ht hnpregnable financial situation of the Company it the J6,IS6,0 lncrc.it in accumulated suets, which now total S72.5I7.M4. at against 165,960,767 at the end of 1924. , Bi,'.TerJr x' the Prtneipl of Mutuality whereby the profit-particb pating Policyholders receive back the entire net profits justified confidence in the continuance of benefits to Mutualists in the coming years.
