ANNUITIES GROWING POPULAR crm 7F WheAT Tremendous Increase of Pur- chasers Noted in Recent Years Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 12--The old gospel of 'sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" is being greatly modified by the Canadian people according to recent advices. People throughout the Dominion are tak- ing an intensified interest in com- panies and institutions that aid them to secure financial protection for their old age. This awakening of interest has been particularly noticable in the rush of purchasers of Covernment annuities during the past few years, Away back in 1908 this sys- tem was inaugurated by the Do- minfon Government to encourage thrift among the people and to pro- vide for their old age. The small regular payments required then, and even at the present time were HON. PETER HEENAN, MINISTER OF LABOR practically nominal, In return. In return for these payments every purchaser at the age of 656 became entitled to an income for life that would provide comfort and security in old age. Scheme Popular Ever since its inception, this gcheme has been popular, The num- ber of purchasers of annuities has mounted steadily, The whole-heart- ed interest, however, taken by the Honorable Peter Heenan in the scheme has resulted in a tremen- dous increase of purchasers during his administration, The Government annuities sys- tem, indeed, has been the pet child of the genial minister of labor, The close contact he has enjoyed with the wage earners has given him a rare insight inte their needs and ascuming office in 1926 he realized the possibilities of good embodied in the system. It was not long before his influ- enco was felt. More offices were opened and representatives install- ed throughout the country. The radio was pressed into service. More intensive advertising was launched through newspapers and other periodicals. Postmasters in rural centres were urged to co-op- erate in the scheme and point out its advantages to the people of their communities, New High Records The result of all this publicity established new high records in the annual number of purchasers. In fact, the number of applications and the amount of purchase money received during the past three years has almost equalled that re- ceived during the preceding 18 years. The total number of con- tracts from 1908 to the present day is nearly 12,000 the total annuity purchasers amount to the stupen- dous total of $24,000,000. It is significant that nearly half this total has been paid in since Mr. Heenan assumed an active interest in the expansion of the annuities system, = To Benefit People The annuities system is designed primarily to benefit the people. All administration costs are borne by the Government and no charge is made against the annuity pur- chaser, Operating without profit, the government is enabled to al- low extremely low rates and the Dentists Attention!

UNITED STATES TAKES ACTION TO Provides $10,000,000 Credit for Purpose of Buying Grain OTTAWA CONFIDENT Report of British Boycott of Canadian Wheat Is Denied Toronto, Feb. 12--The United Sta- tes Government joined with the Can- adian west yesterday in the move for orderly marketing of wheat, Washington, through the federal farm board placed a credit of $10,- 000,000 at the disposal of the Grain Stabilization Corporation--a farmers' co-operative body--to be used for buying grain in the market and hold- ing it. Shite despatches from the United States brought comfort to the 140,- 000 Canadian farmers who make up the pool and the thousands of others whose grain is handled by the private trade, hoped-for assistance from Lon- don failed to materialize. Plans for a British Import Board expected to be outlined before thc Parliament at Westminister were not | forthcoming and questions asked in the house produced no definite ans- wer. Charges made Sunday that Brita was campaigning against Canadian | wheat brought indignant denials from the Motherland. It was also denied | that placards tantamount to a boy- | cott of Canadian flour had been post ed up by restaurants and bakeries, The Winipeg grain market re mained dull but the different quota tions scored gains ranging from a | fraction to more than one cent. | Farm Board to Provide Credit (By Ken Clark, Canadian Press Staff Writer) | Washington, D.C., Feb. 12--The! United States will buy wheat, The Federal Farm Board will provide an initial credit of $10,000,000 to the Grain Stabilization Corporation for | the purpose of enabling it to buy up- on the open market. Any profits which the corporation may make will accrue to the fund of half a bil- lion dollars placed under control of the farm board by the Agricultural Marketing Act and that fund will co- ver any losses sustained, The farm board announced today that it was prepared to recognize the Grain Stabilization Corporation, an organization of co-operatives as a wheat stabilization corporation and would provide that body with suffi- cient funds to carry on its initial operations, The announcement said: "This is simply another step in the program of the grain co-operatives and the farm hoard for a unified national sys tem, of marketing grain and has been | under consideration by the board for | several months." Further Bonds Forthcoming | The wheat stabilization corporation | as its name indicates, will buy wheat with government funds on the theory | that temporary removal from the | market of part of the visible supply will raise the price. The wheat bought | and held would be fed back into the maket in such quantity and at such times as seemed advisable, having regard to the price. The loan to be made to the Wheat Stabilization Corporation is the first fund made available by the farm board to a co-operative for the pur- pose of maintaining price by pur- chasing on the open market. Ten million dollars is to be the "initial" amount, but if this sum is insufficient further funds will undoubtedly be forthcoming. Aside from the effect which im- mediate operations of the stabiliza~ tion corporation may have upon the market, the point in the present sit- uation is the commitment of the farm hoard in line with a policy ratified hy congress and with the resources of the Government behind it to maintain the price of wheat, British Wheat Import Board London, Feb. 11.--Rt. Hon. Noel Buxton, Minister of Agriculture, in reply to questions in the House of thing to add to the recent statement that the question of a wheat imports board was being examined by the Government, 'Boycott Denied (By Thomas rT Champion, Canadian Press Staff Writer) London, Feb. 12.~Emphatic. depial of a statement published in Canada that they were active-in a boycott of Canadidin wheat, was made yesterday by Lyons, Limited, large chain rest- aurant firm, "Most certainly we have announ- ced nothing of the sort or anything like it)" said a statement issued by the company in reply to rumors cir- culated in Canada that placards read- 8" "We use no Canadian flour," Yad been displayed in their windows nd on their wagons and trucks, "We cannot imagine how such an asser- tion could have arisen." Officials of the company also added they knew nothing themselves of any anti-Can- adian® wheat campaign in Great Bri- tain. "We use Canadian flour when the rice compares favorably with the ritish market," the statement said. "Our practice is to use British flour first, then colonial."

SHAW HELPEDLABOR T0 GOVERN ENGLAND Noted Actor Claims That Irish Playwright Aided Socialism : Toronto, Ont, Feb. 12--Bernard Shaw is as responsible as any man for the Labor Government being in office in Great Britain, in the opinion of Maurice Colbourne, actor and author, who recently played a return engagement Shavian comedies in To- ronto, Mr. Colbourne maintains Shaw is a serious man with a mes- sage, "a puritan with a bug, a prea- cher-philosopher administering sugar- coated pills." And, as an example of the Irish playwright's purposeful- ness, he refers to the Fabian Soci- ety. "With the creation of the Fabian Society, Shaw and Sidney Webb (Lord Passfield) made socialism re- spectable," Mr. Colbourne comment- ed. "And 1 believe consequently Bernard Shaw is as respongible as any man for the rise of the Labor party to power. 1 'think he is a preacher, really, a preacher philoso- pher, who is incidentally an artist, but is so keen on his message that he will do almost anything to make people listen to him and to put his message across."

His determin- ation is to administer mental and spiritual purgatives to mankind, but he can't help putting so much suga coating on his pills that people suck them, and when they have sucked the sugar off they throw the pellet away. "People go to see plays and they laugh, but they don't pay any attention to what Shaw so seriously calls his mission." "But," asked his interviewer, "He says himself that he is like the ancient mariner, he has to hold his audience entertainingly. He is really a puritan with a bug. He wants people to be true to them- selves, not human-bugs and hypo- crites." Mr. Colbourne described him as a successful man who had to pay for his popularity the tremen- dous price of not being taken seri- ously.
