ST on rE GAGE * ~ CORPORATION. '| The Standard Rellance Merteten Corporation of Toronto held its annual meeting of shareholders on Monday, March 2, 1914, in the offices of the Company' at 84-88 King Street East, 'Toronto. ~The following - report was submitted and approved: -- Your Directors have much pleasure | I in submitting herewith the first An- nual Report and Statement for the past year accompanied by the Balance Sheet to December 31st, 1913, show- ing the result of the Company's oper- ations, The Directors are pleased to submit the. First Annual Report and Balance Sheet of the Corporation for the per- fod ending 31st of December, 1913. The Order-in-Council approving of the merger of the Standard Loan Com- pany and the Reliance Loan and Sav- ings Company of Ontario was passed on the 21st day of April last, and the actual merging took place on the first day of May. It will 4 noted that after paying all fixed charges and expenses, in- cluding outlays consequent upon the amalgamation, the balance available for distribution has been sufficient to allow of payment of the usual divid- ends to the Shareholders, and an ad- dition of $100,000 to the Reserve Fund, which now stands at $400,000, * We are pleased to be able to report a substantial increase in the Deben- tires placed by the Company, and also in"the Savings Accounts. By reason of this our total Assets now stand at over $5,100,000, or an increase of over $300,000 - since the merger, and the net earnings of the Corporation are greater by over $30,000 than the com- bined net earnings of the two Com- panies prior to the amalgamation The shares held by the Corporation in the Dovercourt Land, Building and Savings Company, Limited, represent assets consisting of real estate having an actual value largely in excess of the par value at which the shares are now standing on the books. To fill. a vacancy in the Directorate since the amalgamation, Dr. H, Jessop, of 8t. Catharines, a large and influen- tial shareholder in the Company, was elected. Since the last Annual Meeting of the Standard Loan Company, now an integral part of the amalgamation, the death of one of the most distinguished Canadians, Lord Strathcona, has taken place. We feel sure that all our share- holders deplore the great loss which the Dominion of Canada has sustained by the passing of one of the most not- able figures in the history of our coun- try. He was, at the time of his death, p Director of this Corporation. We take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the efficiency displayed by the officials and agents of the Cor- poration in performing thelr respec- tive duties. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Board. (Signed) N. H. STEVENS, President. Dated, Toronto, 13th February, 1914. Balance Sheet as on December 31st, 1913.

Head Office ee "ARSON SQUAD* BUSY. Parish Church of Village of White- kirk, Scotland, Destroyed. A despatch from Dunbar, land, says: An "arson squad"' o militant Suffragettes on hiring burned to the ground the historic parish church of the Village of Whitekirk, near here. A large quantity of suffrage literature was left, strewn about the scene. The church was erected in 1207, and contained many relics of the battle in which the Scots were routed by Oliver Cromwell's forces in 1650. In the vicinity is the famous battle- ground of Dunbar, where the Eng- lish totally defeated the Scots in 1296 and caused John Balliol to give up the crown of Scotland. Many of the priceless Scriptural relics and curios from the Holy Land were de- stroyed by the fire. The incendiar- ies apparently had sprayed the in- terior of the church with in ble oils. They also used explosives, as several massive slabs of stone were shattered. Women with Sallow Skin Here is a Good Treatment! You Get Results Quickly. After ad holders elected H. Greene.

Fall Pruning and Mildness Ad- vanced Them Too Rapidly. A despatch from St. Catharines says: The unusual warm December, followed by an unprecedented spell of zero weather, thus killing the peach buds, will have a more dis- astrous effect upon the growers that take the best care of their or- chards th n upon the more care- less ones, according to Prof. Ma- coun, horticulturist of Ottawa, who addressed the Niagara District Fruit - Growers' Association on Thursday afternoon.
