the future. have a population of 100
100000. as many people as the United

places have been taken by, women will
not be content to return to these en-
Payments. I'VE have been trying
women during the war and they are
much better than men," says the bish-

the great families and that those who
have learned in the stress of war to
lead the lives of men will refuse to
have any other than a mans life af-
ter the war. He sees, after the war
these men going across the sea to the
great dominion still uncolonized and
says that he will never be satisfied un-
til Canada is nation OF 1oo,0o0,000.

stock of the twenty-seventh series
cost $4,000; cancelled stock, ST.

$7,436; borrowed money repaid,
SO, 300; salaries, 1912; interest on
borrowed money, S282.82, small

The assets of the association are !:
Loans outstanding, $50,572; loans
made during year, $7,436; arrears,
$397.73; cash on hand, 1862. 80;
total, $60,268.06; less loans paid
during year, $685.; advance pay
ments, $2.40, leaving assets of
$50, 710.66.
The New Hope Building and Loan
Association possesses the unique dis
tinction of being a seven-year loan
organization, instead of the usual
twelve, thirteen or fourteen year
affair, but, of course the payment
on the shares is twice as great per
500 Of valuation. Shares are now
maturing in six years and eleven
months, and 500 shares cost $S4,
total payments. The new series of
stock, known as the thirty-ffth, will
be held open until the August
meeting.
Under the seven-year plan, where
the borrower could not well afford
to pay the whole loan off in seven
years, half the amount is taken on a
first mortgage, and the other half
on a second, maturing with the
shares. A second series of stock
will clear off the whole thing, and
the cost during the first seven years
will be about the same as in other
building and loans, with a less cost
for interest on the mortgage during
the second seven years.
