Mr Ecker pointed out that one of the principal changes In the asMts during the year had been an Increase in the bond holdings chiefly govern ment, state and municipal bonds and In the cash Item, thus giving the company an even more liquid post tlon. Willie policy loans continued to Increase, he said, the rate of In crease was considerably less than that shown In the preceding year. The ratio of real estate acquired through foreclosure to total real estate mort gage holdings continued relatively small, he declared.

The amount reserved for dividends payable In 1034 was 95,230.453. The regular scales of dividends on premium-paying policies are the same as those of a year ago.

They will be spec ially fed under the personal direction of Verne Brophy. until March 20. when they will be butchered and placed In our refrigerated meat room until Easter. This aging, under uni form low , temperature follows the usual Groceteria procedure In handl ing meats and adds to the rich flavor of the meats. In feeding and caring for this meat, Mr. Brophy Is closely co-operating with Norman Bond, manager of the meat markets In the Groceteria Suuper-Pood Markets."
