When a Farmer
Pays His Taxes
Why are farm taxes payable in
one lump sum in the late fall? 1t
is because this was the most con-
venient time to pay 50 years ago?
If ho, we can only conclude that the
present generation of farmers is be-
ing very seriously inconvenienced
by the continuance of a mode of ta:c
collection that has outlived its use-
fulness.
A FINE TIME
"Come and have ,a sleigh ride!"
It was a bunch of young Canada,
none over tvelve who issued
the unceremonious invitation. We
were on serious business bent, but
we laid aside cane and overcoat and
clown the hill we shot, wondering
meanwhile it our accident and title
ineurance .premiums were paid. We
had little hope of ever seeing wits
or child again, but the more we
thought the faster we sped and the
louder young Canada cheered and
yelled. The very spirit of velocty
was in the air. And scat! there
we were! tanvbled in a snow drift,
no one knowing which was which
nor whose limbs belonged to who.
",Mister" young Canada reminded.
us "we have to clime) the hill! and
climb it we did only to slide down
again. And so on and on for one
brief, joyous hour. Our worsted
was a mese. Our tie was gone.
Cur sea's was with the bomelese
winds, Oft' dignity? It had va'1-
1:ked forever. The Missus was
<listrought. But that eupper? We
hadn't bad the like for years. We
did not aatend that committee Meet-
ing that night, we were sound
asleep and such a dreamlee *sleep.
The next morning every hair and
each several joint and sinew was
the home of .pains. Real pains.
Yes, but they were grcwing pains,
we were ten yceis younger, Con-
tact with ytnth, young Canada,
vital, glowing, playing, capering,
mitech ief-makinv and fun -loving
young Canada, is the fountain of
yeuth, We know, for we have just
'drunk of its Healing waters.

evening a bright light was noticed
in Roe's Church by L, Frain and

Half a century ago the farmer got
the major portion of his cash 'u.

then that the cash crops were sold.
Then, too, the steers and hogs found
their way to market, Even the
dairy farmers—largely cheese fat•
tory patrons at that time—settled
with the factory only after the la:,'
of the season's make bad been sold.
They would scrimp and save all
summer long in order that the
cheese money would be theirs rn a
lump sum in November. This gave
the dairyman a very substantial
sum with which to pay taxes, imple-
ment notes and a slice off the mort-
gage.
The situation, according to The
Herald and Weekly Star, Is now en-
tirely different in all mixed farming
communities. Some grain is soil
sold In the fall, notably wheat, but
the most of It is manufactured at

Hound Dog
* * * (By A. R. K.) * * *
i I can't help liking dogs I
claim, of any breed or any name,
they're friendly in their way; my
hound has lots of common sense.
and never seems to take offence, 110
matter what I say,
IT It he does things I know are
wrong, why I can talk at him quite
strong, I think he understands; 1
know by looking at his eye, before I
leave the house he'llltry, a spell of
shaking hands,
If And if he wants to play a bit
when I desire to rest and sit, the
hound don't seem to care; he'll
juts lie still and look at me, and
wonder when the time will be, when
I will leave My chair,
IT And if I say that be can't come,
when I've an errand to be done,
he'll go back home and wait; I
know for certain without fail, that
he'll be there to wag his tail ,when
I come through tile gate.
11 Nor is he picky on his meals, na
matter hew he looks or feels, he'll
always- cleans his plate; he won't
complain of :being on time, nor will
he start to yap and whine ,10 feeding
time is late.
11' On days when things have not
gone right, and I am cranky by the
night, and when I'm feeling sore;
the hound don't seem to mind at all
for be will greet me in the hall—
and wag his tail some more.
