PAINKILLER LAKE CLAIMS MAY NOW BZ DEVELOPED M M THIS WAS A WONDERFUL COW, OR ELSE IT‘S ALL BULL, In the southeast corner of the front page of The Toronto Globe last week there appeared a ‘‘timely‘" story. It may be well to note that The Globe reserves this little corner for this sort of tale, religiously keeping such items from its news columns~ Too many newspapers in the cities place such tales all through their news columns, reserving a small corner on one page for what is true and good and sensiâ€" ble. Some days that particular page is omitted, owing to press of adverâ€" tising. To the Editor of the Southeast Corner: A certain farmer, who lives a few miles from Hensall, recently told me this story: Seven years ago he hung his vest on the barnyard fence. A calf chewed up a pocket of the garâ€" ment in which there was a standard gold watch. A short time ago the animal, a staid old mileh cow, was butchered for beef, and the timepiece was found in such a position between the lungs of the cow that the respiraâ€" tion kept the stemâ€"winde ‘wound up, and the watch \had loi four minâ€" utes in the seven ‘years." TIMMINS YOUNG.MAN WEDDED AT NORTH BAY However, to get back to the story in The Globe‘s southeast corner. Here it is in the form of a letter dated Hensall, Ontario, and signed Allan Soldan :â€" A despatch from North Bay last week says :â€" | ‘"The home of Mr. and Mrs. 6. L. Banner, 938 Worthington street east, was the seene of a quiet midâ€"winter wedding on Tuesday evening, Feb.

This litâ€" tle lad had never enjoyed the best of health, and at the time of the last Dominion e«lection here it was reâ€" ported that the child had passed away, this report arising from the fact of the child‘s illâ€"health. In The Ottawa Journal on Thursday last the followâ€" ing reference is made to the death of the little lad :â€" ‘«Many friends of J.

The high quality and profitable character of our investments has again been demonstrated. As a result of continued reduction in prevailing rates of interest, and of satisfactory industrial conditions, there has been a further rise in the market values of our longâ€"term bonds and of our preferred and other stocks. The appraisal of our securities made by the Government Insurâ€" ance Department shows that the excess of market values over cost has increased during the year by $6,894,266.26. In addition, the sum of $1,729,364.52 has been realized as net profit from the redemption or sale of municipal debenâ€" tures and other securities which had risen to high premiums. The rate of interest earned on the mean invested assets has also risen to the remarkable figure of 6.69 per cent, as the result of substantial dividend increases, bonuses, and The new policies paid for. . . . almost double the figures of two years ago.

RACTS FROM DIRECTORS‘ REPORT stock privileges received in connection with many of our holdings. The quality of the investments listed in the assets may be judged from the fact that on 99.55 per cent of the bonds and on 99.71 per cent of the preferred stocks, not one dollar of inâ€" terest or dividend is in arrear for even one day. On our common stocks the dividends now being received are greatly in excess of the dividends payable on the same stocks at.time of purchase. The total surplus earned during the year amounted to $20,457,077,28. From this the following appropriations have been made: The sum of $2,000,000 has been deâ€" ducted from the official valuation of our seâ€" curities to provide for possible fluctuations in market values. This raises the amount set aside for this purpose to $5,000,000. In other words, the value at which our securities are carried in the balance sheet is $5,000,000 less than the appraisal made by the Government authorities. _ The account to provide for unforeseen conâ€" tingencies has been increased by $1,000,000 bringing the total under this heading to $11,000,000. 265,889,000 The book value of our Head Office building has been written down by a further sum of $250,000 though it certainly could not be replaced at even its original cost. 9 9 One man, at least, who has gotten his name in the daily papers in an article with which wolves were conâ€" neceted, does not pretend that wolves are likely to attack men. Rather, he shows how a man may attack wolves on occasion and make some honest bounty money. A despatch from Hornepayne, Ontario, published in The Ottawa Evening Journal and other daily journals, tells the tale as follows :â€" ‘*Erik Smolander, Seandinavian trapper, was not a bit seared when he informally encountered a of wolves near his trap line a few days ago. Instead of fileeing for Ius life, he calmly prepared baits, and shot no less than six of the animals. Proof of his story was furnished when he reached this town and brought the six wolves, large animals, to claim sCANDINAVIAN TRAPPER UNDERSTANDS HIS WOLVES the Government‘s bounty. One was a black Siberian, measuring seven feet six inches from nose to tail, and another, a beautiful grey timber wolt, measuring six feet nine inchos. Smolander said he was going back for more ‘‘bounty certificates."‘ The Englehart correspondent of The New Liskeard Speaker last week says :â€"‘‘*The mining lectures are now over for another year and those that have been attending the interesting lectures the past week or more under the able divrection of Dr. Goodwin will know more than they ever did before in connection with the mmeral and mining posstbilities of our wonderful north land."‘ The Louisville Times is worried beâ€" cause although women are now wearâ€" ing only about oneâ€"fifth of the elothes they wore ten years ago, hooks are still as searce for husbands as ever. After making these deductions and allocaâ€" tions an addition of $5,371,564.56 has been made to the undivided profits. The surplus over all liabilities, contingency accounts and capital stock, now stands at $34,011,565.25. For six years in succession we have increased the profits to participating policyholders. Durâ€" ing this period our profit scale has been doubled. While the assurances in force have multiplied two and a half times since 1920, the amount paid or allotted as profits to policyholders has multiplied five and a half times. Weare gratified to announce, for the seventh consecutive time, a further increase in the scale of profits to be distributed to our policyholders in the ensuing year. An additional amount of $400,000 has been set aside to provide for greater longevity of annuitants. The total held under this headâ€" ing in excess of Government requirements, is now $1,500,000. The reserves on the newly acquired busiâ€" ness of the Cleveland Life, and on other reâ€" assured policies, have been‘raised to the same high standard as that used for the valuation of liabilities under our own contracts. To our policyholders, profits have been paid or allotted during the year to the amount of $9,235,526.80. *"Let the Clark Kitchens Help You""‘ CLAREK Thursday, Feb. 17th, 1927 delicious
