THRIFT
We came across a farmer who has about one hundred fine
Maple trees planted around his farm. The previous owner of this
farm .had done nothing with these trees apart from enjoying
their .leafy loveliness. This present occupant decided to make
use of the trees this-spring. However, the expense of providing
pans or evaporator was excessive. The cost of fuel for the evap
orating was high and the farmer hesitated to try maple syrup mak
ing. At last he made up his mind to use .for his purpose what he
had a’bout the farm to imake a venture. He cleaned up an. old
sugar kettle by the elbow grease and old brick and plenty of water
route. A foot-deep hole was dug in the ground for a furnace bed
and the walls were made of old bricks and sods. Some useless
tin was found and worked into a door for the firebox. An unused
rain conductor pipe was impressed into doing'the work of a smoke
stack. Some rough 'blocks, too large for the house stove
were secured for firing purposes. Various receptacles
farm were used to catch the sap. The spiles for the

WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS
The following almost incredible circumstances have been re
lated to us: A few years ago a young farmer mortgaged hie farm
to a local Shylock. Interest was paid up till 1932, as the record
shows. After that no interest on the farm mortgage was paid.
About the time of the first .failure t'o meet the interest on the
mortgage the money lender secured a chattel mortgage, telling the
farmer that giving the chattel mortgage was a means of
preventing .his chattels from being sold for any debt outside the
(mortgage. The farmer said that for this chattel mortgage he re
ceived no consideration. Last week this farmer was sold out
under- the chattel mortgage. Before the sale he appealed to a
government official .to have his affairs adjusted, only to find that
■his case was not provided for and that, his only route to relief was
by the ordinary process of law. Of course the whole thing is a bad
mess, but it is a mess baised on ignorance and false secretiveness.
In view of this our readers will recall the suggestion that' we
offered recently that there 'be a body of men appointed to whom
farmers and others may go foi' advice before taking any consider
able loan, a loan of, say $500. Further, money lenders would do
well to have the imprimatur of this body before making any loan.
We have said farmers but that was because a farmer’s case was
up for consideration. Other folk are on all fours with farmers, in
the matter of making loans. We know whereof we speak. Few
people realize till disaster stares them in the face the danger of
borrowing money or of loaning money. There are those who have
done well on borrowed capital. Such are to be congratulated. But
what of those to whom life is a long nightmare because of debts
so- easily contracted but so tragically difficult to liquidate?

S Brake requirements are severe in Toronto.
Yet this stock model Hudson-built Terraplane
stopped so quickly that the brake testing meter
could not record it. Again and again, in suc
cessive tests, Terraplane brakes spun the meter
as far as it would go. They stopped the car
smoothly — all four wheels tracking straight
ahead.
Before you buy any new car, see if it can
match this safe stopping record. Test them
all. Compare other features, too, with what
Hudson and Terraplane offer—then decide.
