the leaves are made up Of oval leaf

always responded to calls for assist

will do SO on the evening of Dec.

The sale Of tickets for the portrait

FARM
| LOANS
On the Best I erms Offered
BY any Company.

We are prepared to make loans on
farms for term of ten years,
with interest payable annually. We
will give the borroWerer the privilege
of making a payment of as much as
one-ffth of the principal at any time
each year, thereby stopping the inter
est on the amount paid. By this
method the borrower is enabled to pay
of the full amount of the loan in i've
years. The privilege to pay one-fifth
each year is optional with the borrow
err He can, if he chooses, keep the
loan for the full time. No extra charge
for this privilege. which enables the
farmer to be out Of debt in five years if
he chooses. Should the borrower con-
clude to pay on ~ one tenth Of his loan
each year, he would then be out of
debt at the end of ten years. As most.
borrowers pay the agent a commission
for their loans, it is very easy to see
the advantageeof the above plan. 1t
enables the farmer to save che expens-
es Of making a new loaGs every three
or five years. Our mortgages have no
gold clause.
sIf you want a loan, in Yestigate our
plan before going elsewhere. Address
