That isn't -a very original statement I'll ad- mit, but at the same time, the fact of the case seems to rear up and smack you quite hard. The thing I have in mind at the moment, this being on to- wards the end of July, is paying the mortgage. When my grandfather had a mort- gage on his place he used to drive in- to town with a load of wood, a side of pork and a few bags of potatoes and , well other items of farm produce. He would go around to see Isaac Smith who was a retired private bank- er, and the one who held the mortgage on the farm. Mr. Smith would offer him a drink and they would sit and chat for awhile. My grandfather after a half hour of pleasant conversation would bring up the matter of the mortgage. Mr. Smith would be almost apologetic about having to send him a notice. grandfather would tell him bad things were on the farm and Mr, Smith would nod agreement, but would at the same time have his own opinions. Presently they, would get around to settling the mortgage. After a half hour or so of pleasant haggling ft would be settled and Mr. Smith would have some cash, some potatoes, a side of pork and some other farm produce including a quart of sweet cream which my grandmother used to send along on the express Understanding that it was not to be included in the deal. All in all it was a pleasant ex- perience for all the ;parties concerned. My father used to settle his mort- gage with the local bank. Ed, Mey- ers was the manager of the bank and he was quite reasonable and the kind of fellow it was never difficult to deal With. Sometimes my father would be a little shy of cash and he would tell Ed and they would fix it up so that the mortgage could be settled when a load of pigs went to market, I am stow iii the predicament of having to deal with a mortgage tont- pany. The estate which handled illy Mortgage has always been a rather decent otte. The Matter has now been turned over to the mortgage depart- inent of a big Trust and Loan Cott- pany. My mortgage came due in the Middle of haying and I just put it aside figuring oil going in to see them a lit- tle later on. I got kind of a nasty letter but that didn't make any difference. / put a bag of 15otatoo8 and a couple of dressy ed thickens in the back of the car and went to toWn. Taking the notice of the interest due and the nasty letter I Went Iunto a big place that looked as if it might have bon an old goniatt ternPle. r WORLD WIDE NEWS IN CONDENSED FORM 11•2 UM W . I was passed from secretary to clerk and back to stenographer. Then I went out to an anteroom and sat down. Somebody beckoned me and I stood at a little railing and she passed me out a form to fill in. It was headed "Mort- gages Overdue". I had to fill in a lot of vacant spaces and practically sign my life away. I filled in forms and signed others and all in all had quite a time but I left with my pota- toes and dressed chickens and a .dis- tate for this modern form of commer- cial life. • ..!,2 2 Yes sir, times certainly do change.
