MUTUAL LIFE OF CANADA REPORTS PROGRESS For the half year ending June 30, The Mutual Life Assurance Com- pany of Canada with Head Office at Waterloo, Ont., reportsan increase in total assurances in force of over Seven and a Half Million Dollars ($7,500,000) thus maintaining the steady progress of over sixty years of business in Canada. The new paid Canadian business for the year to date is over ninety- six per cent. of the business for the same period of 1931, and in practi- cally every province the Company's proportion of the total life insurance issued in the respective province by all companies, is considerably higher than a year ago. Another outstanding feature is the fact that there is a decrease of over $1,000,000 in the net terminations through lapse and expiry. The Company's Officials attribute this satisfactory showing to the ef- ficiency of the Branch Office staffs and Field representatives. The edu- cational programme carried on by the Company in preparing its repre- sentatives to give sound advice to new insurers and faithful service to policyholders has had the enthusias- tic support of the Field Staff and the effect is apparent in the contin- ued progress of Canada's first and oldest Mutual Life Company.

He averaged more than 120 miles an hour on the second run, eclipsing the record df Gar Wood, United States driver, by about 10 miles an hour.

It was always • heavy. "You must be doin' ' weel," said the man frequently. "Oh, ay," the widow would reply, "it's a guid business!" But she did not disclose the fact that besides the moderate takings the bag contained the counter weights. The canny lover only -dis- covered that fact after marriage. * * * * A candidate for Parliamentary honors called upon a Scottish min- er and met with a hearty reception and assurance of his vote. After his departure the candidate of the oppo- site party appeared on the scene, and , received the miner's reply, "Oh, ay,- sir, y,sir, I'll vote for ye!"

"They don't compare with the ants I saw in the East," said an in- s offensive individual nearby. "The natives have trained them as beasts i of burden. One of them could trail a ton load for miles with ease. They work willingly, but occasionally they turn on their attendants and kill them." But this was drawing the bow a little too far. "I say, old chap," said a shocked voice from the corner, "what sort of ants were they?" "Elephants," replied the inoffens- es," was the wind up of the editor's, exordium.
