The Canada Life funds are largely in- vested in Bonds, Debentures and Mortgages, rate of interest being assured for a term of years, with the safety of the prineipal ._ carefully guarded. The large interest returns, together with economical management and careful selection of lives are the principal factors in the earn- ing of the record surpluses of recent years. In 1915 the surplus earned was $1,480, 866. The full Report of one of the most success- ful years in the Canada Life's history is being printed and: will gladly be sent you. Hetbert C. Cox, : * President and General Manager, » + 3.0, AUTTON ° General Agent, Kingston, eo (Continued from page 8.) Few people understand what a loss the 9th Kingston Artillery Brigade is to Kingston. This brigade of 700 men has been either recruiting in the city or im the district and receiv- ed all its training at Barriefield camp or in the garrison. In the first eon- tingents there were a large number of "rovers'---men who were going overseas for the adventure and hop- or as well as the discharging of. the public duty involved. Most of the men of the 9th Brigade enlisted be- cause they felt it their duty to be'is uniform te defend Canada and the British Empire. They have shown this by every part of their work. On the field, in lectures and everywhere it has been a case of mutual! under- standing between the men and the officers that every person must work hard to make the 9th Kingston Bri- gade the very best, The batteries during their training here, partly due to "esprit d'corps" brought by the competition of having batteries on an equal footing and partly the earnest desire of every man to properly fit himself for the oversea work, gradually made themselves into machines. They to-day batteries in every sense of word and though mot as much gun- drill as could be desired was given the men know their places and the work Completely- equipped with horses znd guns, the brigade when reviewed in England will cer- tainly be a credit to Kingston and to Canada whout four to are the In the place of four of the batier ies of the 9th Brigade there are four new batteries in Kingston ready and waiting to be organized and trained so that can be sent over in fu- ture contingents to take their places along side of those which have gone The 46th Battery, which has been stationed in the Old Collegiate build- ing and which was made up of Queen's students, graduates and they their friends, is being replaced by t 50th Battery The 32nd Battery which was made up for the most | part of men from Ottawa and points | east of Kingston is being replaced by Battery. The 23rd King- stor and Peterboro Battery is replac ed by the 52nd Battery and, the munition column, better known the 24th Battery, is being the 51st am replaced | light, by the 53rd Battery. The 53rd will be recruited in Toronto, as was the 34th Battery The officers commanding. the new batteries have not yet been appoint- ed but a list has beén sent by the Di- visional headquarters for formal ap- proval, The first: parade of the 146th Bat- talion. was held on Thursday morn- ing under Major C. H. Gray, and this new Kingston unit certainly created a favoralge impression. Although practically.everyone is a recruit, ne- vertheless eaoh has received the ru- diments of military drill and march- ed well. By next week for the carni- val all of the men in outside places will be in the city for the event and battalion parades are planned every ddy. This will given the citizens an opportunity of seeing a strictly King" ston production in khaki and it will certainly live up to the highest ex- pectations of Lieut-Col, C. A.
