The record of the Mutual of New York
for 1908 is truly a remarkable one. The
great decrease is the expenses of the
company during the last three years
will stand for some time as a record
among life companies. Accompanying
this decrease in expenses and as a
result of it. has been a lalGe increase
in the dividends paid to policy holders.
The sum appropriated for 1909 as a fund

holders is over eleven million dollars.
That this should be the result of the
drop in expenses to $3.50 per cent of the
total income-a rate that is most re-
markbale in a large company-points the
way to all companies in the business.
The great life company of the future
will not be the company that writes the
largest volume of business, but the COM
pany that by dint Of economical and
capable management gives the best
returns ia its policy holders. The future
will not praise volume but it will laud
efficiency. The Mutual Life of New
York in 1908 and the preceding two
years has provided a record for other
to strive to attain. The re-
cord is a result of one Of the greatest REL

Labrador.

DR.. Wilfred Grenfell who has Ia
bored so long, so unselfishly and to
such good purpose in Northern lati-
tudes has startled the world by stating
it to be his honest belief that Labra-
dor, hitherto considered little more
than barren waste, can be made to
yield its share OF the worlds food
supply; that it can be made to support
vast herds of reindeer, and that the
hardy cereals will flourish there. This
means that Labrador can be made to
support a much larger population than
it is now supporting, and that the So
cial advantages of the inhabitants can
be greatly improved.
No man knows more about Labrador
and its people, its resources, it's his
tory and it's possibilities than does DR..
Grenfell and any statement he may
make regarding Labrador will be &C
cepted by the civilized world as au-
lucrative DR.. Grenfell believes that
Labrador can be made to supply large
quantities of meat, cereals and fish
He believes that a million reindeer can
live in that country both summer and
winter without artificial feeding. He
describes their flesh as having a
splendid food value and the flavor as
being somewhat similar to that of any
other venison. He states that barley
oats and other hardy cereals flourish
there in spite of the fact that the
summer season opens late, because the
growth is very rapid. 1t may be that
among the results of DR.. Grenfelrs
noble work will be the opening of Lab
rador to development and that in time
it will become as great a country as
the Canadian Northwest.

The Life Savers.

The terrible storm of December 26th
served to remind us Of the noble work
performed by the life saving depart
ment during the past year. 1t Is on
inst such nights as that of Sunday.
when the wind is blow ing a gale and
flying spray freezes as it strikes. when
the air is thick with snow and sleet,
that the men engaged in the life saw
ing service are most active. 1t is
then that the long reaches of rock and
sand along our coast are patrolled
with the greatest care. 1t is on such
nights, when all of us who can, SIT
close to our firesides and congratulate
ourselves that we have the privilege
of doing so, that these men don their
heavy clothing and pace back and
forth in the most exposed places. ever
watching for vessels in distress.
It is not always on these clustering
nights that the service of the life saver
is performed, for last year, among the
MANY rescues, was that of woman
about TO be hurled over bluff, that of
an intoxicated man who was about to
fall off q dock, that of man who lost
his way in a marsh, that Of two men
who had climbed 100 feet up the face
of a cliff and We're unable to descend,
attempted suicides, automobiles
caught in quicksand, in fact every
conceivable branch Of rescue work.
During the year there were 1886
disasters, involving the lives OF
s 900 persons, all of which called the
life saving service into action. or
the vessels endangered but - were a
total loss and but 80 people lost their
lives in consequence. The property
involved in these disasters was worth
SIG, 1OS,0S0, while the property lost
was but s2,295,3S0. OF the 1876 ves-
sells meeting disaster, aid was rendered
to 1919, valued with their cargoes) at
$1s,316.S15.
The Life Saving Service is made up
of the least known, most efficient, and
most retiring body of men in the SER
vice of the people.

Trespassers Killed.

The Railroad Age Gazette, in re-
cent issue. called attention to the large
number of trespassers killed by rail-
road trains, stating that in the 10
years which ended December 81, 1908,
47,416 individuals lost their lives while
trespassing upon the property of rail-
road companies. In 1898 the number
killed was 4,O63; in 1908 the number
killed was 5000 and in 1907 the num-
Der rose to 6,512, more than Is per
