But now you may need money to meet an emergency or oppor­ tunity, and the question is whether to sell those bonds. Jim Hendry, _ the Bank of Montreal’s branch manager at Exeter, strongly advises against it. “Bonds represent money you’ve already saved,” he says. “If your proposition is sound, you can Keep ycl/r hest-egg intact by simply borrowing against your bonds at the B of M, When you’ve repaid your loan in easy instalments, yon 11 still have your savings in reserve.” You’ll be in good company if you take Mr. Hendry’s advice. Many thousands of people, he says, use their bonds to borrow at the B of M every year. The entire cost of a loan against Govern- ’ment Bonds is exceedingly small, indeed, it is little more than the interest you .receive on the bonds themselves.

A few years ago U remarkable old lady, Elizabeth Haldane, passed on in the north of Eng­ land. She was born in April, 1825 and died in May, 1925. She was the mother of Lord Haldane, wh0 was for a time Chancellor of .the Exchequer. The old lady was remarkable, not only on ac­ count of her great age, but be­ cause in the closing years of her life she wrote a book which was a record of the hundred years through which she had lived. In that book Mrs. Haldane wrote of the , changes of that' century, 1825 - 19 25. It was a period of great change. She spent most of her life in Newcastle-on- Tyne where George Stephenson invented the first locomotive and was busily engaged in improving it when she was a girl. She could recall the determined opposition to the first ‘‘travelling engines.” Later, she saw the introduc­ tion of other methods of trans­ portation; tricycles, bicycles, motor oai*s and airplanes. It was a century of progress and dis­ covery. She was keenly interest­ ed in radio which made its ap­ pearance not long before her death. Her mind was clear to the end. The Archbishop of York, who visited her often, said: “Old age to her was not of increasing weakness, but rather one of ever- growing spiritual power,” Lying on her back, for she became bed-ridden towards the epd, she surveyed the century through which she had lived. In her book she asked and answered the question: what was the most wonderful change she had seen in one answer titude ren.” She and brothers being severely flog­ ged for minor 0 f f e n c e s. She wrote: ‘‘I have known my boy cousin., return from school black and blue from bruises inflicted by the cane,‘while a school chum lived for three days hiding in a chimney, in fear of his master’s treatment. ,A girl cousin of mine was punished by being locked in a barn and fed on bread and water.” The Haldanes were quite well-to-do people so we can only guess at the treatment handed out to less fortunate children. She goes on to say that the same severity was used in relig­ ious training. It was a “wedge of torture and an instrument of cruelty. We were watched con­ tinually and our actions strued to mean what we had never dreamed. At family wor­ ship prayers were directed jat us, rather than to the Almighty.” When she was fourteen Eliza­ beth had a.sharp attack of rheu­ matism and later she still doctor’s visit. room and St. Mr. sevent-five years remembered the He entered the wearing a bright green coat with brass buttons, corduroy trousers, top-boots and carrying a riding-whip in his hand. • He asked her if she would like to be “bluided.” She meekly answered “yes”. He bound her arm tightly and with very old and crude instruments proceeded to bleed her. After two unsuc­ cessful attempts he finally suc­ ceeded in getting a basin of blood. She did recover but there was no babying during convales­ cence. It was not thought the proper thing for young people to use warm water so, although it was a severe winter and water froze in her room, she had to break the ice and do her best. There are depressing things in modern life but there is an en­ couraging fact. It is a far world for children than ever been. Elizabeth Haldane was The most important discovery of modern days is tli^e discovery ,of the child.

Farmers don’t choose their machines by whim or fancy* Such a high preference for Massey-Harris is proof beyond doubt that Massey-Harris combines give them the best all-round performance . . . in fast harvesting, clean thrashing, freedom from field delays, low cost of operation. If you were to visit the Massey-Harris Combine factory and watch the long train- loads of combines pulling out of the railway siding, you would see something else that is noteworthy. Many of these train-loads are destined for United States points, because Massey-Harris combines are as popular in Kansas, Texas and the Dakotas as they are in the Canadian West. And if you observed further, you would find many carloads destined for far-away countries like Argentine, India, Turkey, Tanganyika. All over the world, the Massey-Harris self-propelled combine, is known and recognized as the Piaster mach­ ine for modern farmers. Wherever you find modem agriculture, you find Massey-/ Harris combines in use and in demand.
