you have paid in, and you will find
you have $4,000 farm paid for which
has cost you only $1.4O2.56. This you
have had twenty years to pay, with
the absolute guarantee that If you
die at any time the mortgage will be
cancelled and the homo freed from
debt
1t is needless to say Mr.. Jones
bought both the farm and the life in
surance. This brief illustration of
what Jones did shows what you can
do. If you are a renter, or have
farm and are in debt-a young man
just starting in life, or salaried man
who would like to own farm, permit
our agent to explain how you can buy
a bond on twenty years time without
any security on your part, guarantee
ing you the results of the average
farm if you live, and your family a
home if you die.

Facts For PopuIists.

Cdu pOpullSI pIluClplcS Ue proven!
Are they. or have they ever been, put
to the practical test of actual trial?
Yes. They are in daily operation,
and they are completely successful.
They are abundantly proven by years
of the most glorious results.
Why should pOpulistS talk theories
when they have proven facts to sus-
tain their claims?
Panics can be prohibited by the gov
eminent, because it has been done in
New Zealand.
Government loans direct to the peo-
ple-not to the banks, but to the
masses of the people-at reasonable
and uniform interest, is practicable,
because it is being done in New Zea-
land every day, with profit to the
government and help to the people,
