• Record. •
The fifty-fourth annual report of the
Sun Life Assurance Company of Cana
da, now being published, once again
shows -• inspiring gains both in re
sources and in the spread .of the Com-
pany's operations. All previous re-
cords of the Company, outstanding as
they have been, have been greatly
overreached.
43;671 new policies were issued and
paid for during 1924,
rn addition, a large block of profit-
able British and foreign business has
been acquired from a big American
company by re -assurance, as well as
the business of a Colonial company
operating in the hast. The world-wide
organization or the Sun Life easily ad-
mits of the absorption of this business
to advantage. The policies of a small
Canadian company were also as-
sumed.
In earnings from investments the
Company's experience has been par=
t:icularly gratifying. Both in the in-
crease
n
crease in market value of securities
held, amounting to $6,331,377, e,nd the
profit on sales wherein the increased
value of securities has been capitaI-
ized, is reflected the wisdom of the
Company's early policy of investment
in longterm bonds and similar securi-
ties. While it is expected that this in-
creased value will be permanent, pos-
sible fluctuation has been amply pro-
vided for in the contingency account.
The rate of interest earned on the
mean invested assets advanced to
6.38 per cent. This is exclusive of
profits from sales and represents a
substantial gain over the previous
year's very satisfactory earnings.
Policyholders received or had al-
lotted' to then profits of $6,681,652
d
puring 1924.
That the future position of the Com -
any shall be even more solid and se-
cure, the reserves of its -entire life
assurance contracts have been valued
at three per cent., while a special an-_
iuity reserve of $750,000 has been set
1p beyond the amount required by the
overnment's standard.

Surnames and - Their Origin
CLAVER
,Variations= --Cleaver, Clevenger.
• ,Racial Origin—English.
Source—An occupation or title.
The original meaning of these family
names had 1 nothing to do with the
word "cleave" in either the sense of
cutting or clinging. The source is en-
tirely different, and lies in the new
obsolete word "claviger."
The "claviger" of the middle ages,
under the Anglo-Norman system of
government held a position similar to
those of the modern city or state trea-
surer and custodian of public docu-
ments combined. Technically he was
the "key -bearer," for that is what the
word "•claviger" meant. And the key
he bore was that of the public tree-
. sury.
He was the custodian of public
moneys and documents, the official
who was responsible for their safe-
keeping, though not for their collec-
tion or expenditure.
There was a Robert Clavynger on
the medieval parliamentary lists', but
the still older forms of the name are
to be found in such entries as "John
le Clavier," "Henry le Clover" and
"John le Clavour."
Public offices in those days general-
ly were held for life,° as the most usual
and effective way of removing an of-
ficial from office was to remove him
for life, Thus in many instances those
titles stuck long enough to the inclivid'•
nal, and were even paneled down with
the" office from father to son, to be.
• come fancily names,
H UTTO N
Racial Origin --English.
Source—A 'locality, also a characteris-
tic.
This is a family name, Which, if one
judged it by one of its meanings alone
should be classified as a variation of
the names Houghton and Haughton,
for in a large number of cases it is de-
rived from a place name which means
"high -town." Both the piece and the
name, however (which is Hutton),
have an identity distinct from those
concerned in the origin of the names
Houghton and Haughton.
But there le another derivation of
the family name, from the old Nor-
man-French word "hutain," meaning
"proud." The mention et such char-
acteristics' as this in ponnection with
a man's name, to distinguish him from
some other man with the sane given
name, was quite common in the middle
ages. At that period, just prior to the
development of family names and co-
incident with it, populations were in-
creasing so rapidly and shifting as
well, and the same given names were
applied to so many persons, that some
further method of differentiation, such
as mention of the place whence a man
had come, or of some personal char-
acteristic of his, was the rule rather
than the exception.
Those who can trace their ancestry
back 'to a form of the name prefixed
either by "re" or "le" will have no dif
fioulty in determining whether their
family names develop from the place
name or the nickname. The "de" in-
dicates the former and the "le" the
later.

A Warning to Ali Mothers!

Ralph likes to get hold of an old medi-

play that he is a doctor also. One day

"Somebody wants mel" and, catching
up the hat and case, hurried out the
door.
"Come back and shut the screen

Ralph obeyed reluctantly. When ho

"Well, how did you find your patient,
Dr. Ralph?" his mother inquired.

"Dead," the boy replied accusingly.
"Died while I was coming back to shut

Some diseases give immunity from another attack, but
rheumatism and lumbago (which is really muscular rhea-
RHEUMATISM AND LUMBAGO nlatism) work just the other way. Every attack invites
another.
ARE BANISHED BY There is soarcely any disease whrch physicians find
more difficult to treat successfully than rheumatism. Long
study, however, has shown that the Seat of the disease is
in. the blood. By maintaining the quality of the blood, you
are doing the best possible thing to prevent and combat
rheumatism,
That is why Dr. Wlll4ains' Pink Pills has proved sue
oessful in thousands of eases of rheumatism and lumbago,.
')`hese pills enrich the blood and enable it to throw off the
Poisons Of the disease. Andso long as the blood is kept

trouble..

No Brains Needed in Falling
in Love,,
Science makes another discovery.
No great amount of brains is required
for falling In. love. Most of us had
suspected It, but a scientist tries t�,
prove it. He used 200 pigeons. From
these he removed the oerebral cortex,
the partof the brain that is suposed
to do the thinking for folk. The pige-
ons recovered from the operation and
kept on billing and cooing. The
scientist advanced the experiment. He
removed more of the pigeons' brains.
lie found that of all instincts the love
instinct seemed to function on the
e
slightest amount of brain matter.
'Soo much far science and Iove. Lov-
ers needn't feel badly about it. While
the experiment indicates that no
brains are needed to fall in love it
doesn't prove that being in love indi-
cates a lack of brains. Love may not
lie amenable to reason, but it isn't
necessarily feeble-mindedness. If so,
it is a pleasant form of insanity--•
sometimes.
Will a Good Pure Bred
Sire Pay?
A bull will sire anywhere from one
iundred to several hundred calves
during his lifetime,
2.—Suppose we place the number of
c1ves al one hundred, and suppose
the calves by one, bull are worth an.
av rage of $5.00 per head more than
eali-os:by another bull, what would
tbis mean?
It would mean that one bull would
be worth to his owner $500.00 more
than the other bull, exceptthe small-
difference in interest on investment.
If the difference • in value ° of the
calves were $10.00 per head, the differ-
ence in the value of the bulls would be
$1000.00 and correspondingly greater
for wider differences in the value of
the calves.
There are cases where steers by a
good bull have brought $50.00 per head
more than steers of the same age by
inferior or scrub bulls.
These figures should make any man
pause before buying an inferior bull ,
merely because the price is low.
It is true that merely paying a high
price for a bull does not make hint a
good one, and excellent bulls are of-
ten bought at very modest prices; but
et is equally true that really good bulls
are always worth the money paid for
them, while inferior bulls are dear at
any price.
No man can afford to use a scrub
bull. A good bull at $1,000.00 is cheap-
er than a scrub bull received as a gift,
as the figures' given above amply
prow. '
It is also worth noting that steers
by good bulls have "topped" the open
market in Canada and the United
States, and still hold several open
market high price records.
Surely the thoughtful farmer will
See to it that the bull he uses in future
must be a good pure bred, and the
result will be more beef, more milk,
and more profit.

er as an antidote to solar catastho-
phes have worked. The Chinese have
been. handling eclipses for five' theus-
arid years, and there is no record of a
single instance in which the sun failed
to reappear. 'Very few laws of science
are based. on data that have stood the
test of anything like five thousand
