the Court of Appeals of Ontario affect
ing the validity of a divorce granted in

Farmers, who are carrying mortgages
OF from $500 to 1000 on their farms,
can, by this system, fund their indebted

the maturity of the principal mortgage

the shape of monthly payments, and re-
lieve yourselves of this debt in an easy
manner, and leave all the profits at
home.
To the man who does not wish to build
