PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By'Harry J. Boyle
Times have certainly changed. 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

. 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
