As in previous years, subscribers will be given a choice of maturity, fiveâ€"year bonds, due Nov, 1, 1924, or 15â€"year bonds, due Nov. 1, 1934.

The farmer who farms has some joys all his own, Some plans and some beautiful schemes, He‘s kingâ€"yes, & monarch; _ that farm is his throme; Success is his sweetest of dreams. He studies, he labors, he plans with delight; To him every day bas its charms; He‘s guiding Old Nature, who works day and night, He‘s happy, if really he farms. Arrangements have again been made with the banks for the purchase of bonds by small subscribers on the instalment card system, spreading the payment over ten months. Up to their capacity the banks will also accept bonds from small investors for safe keeping without charge for a period of one year â€" The _ 'aubscriptions lists â€" opened October 27 and will close on or before November 15, 1919. W 0h As previously intimated by the Minâ€" ister of Finance, the bonds of the new issue will not carry the tax exempt privilege which ‘was attached to the issues made during the war. â€" This means that in computing his Dominion income tax the holder of the new seâ€" curities who is subject to the tax will be required to include the interest as part of his taxable income. In this wonderful, populous world of ours, How countless in kind are the folks. There are some who are noted as huâ€" man flowers, ~â€" And some who are known as mere jokes. They‘re scattered abroad over cities and plains, There showing their follies and charms; But no Some farmers ape neighbors, and sow what they sow, f Much speculation has been ventured as to the origin and significance of the unique trade mark that swings above every pawnshop, says a writer. The most popular misconception is that the three gold balls stand for the money loaned by the pawnbroker. The first pawnbroker in England was an agont of the Medici family of Florence, and the three balils which he adopted as his sign were the coat of arms of that famous line. For the history of the adoption by the Medicis of this heraldry there is a fantastle tale. It has been said that it was apâ€" propriated by an early Medici, one of the generals of Charlemagne, who, afâ€" ter slaying a certain terrible giant, took off as a souvenir his great club which had nailed to it three iron balls. Enlightening if true. It is not true. The fact is that the original balls of the device were blue, and representâ€" &d nothing more romantic than the pills formerly administered by the Medicis, who were physicians before they were moneyâ€"lenders. The«blue balls were gilded only about 70 years ago. % ”T‘Vl-;rom the sublime to the ridiculous," may say the disappointed reader. But truth will out. l it no ;:;;;1'101'3 surely has need of his brains Than the farmer who truly farms. Then jieware the gilded pills! The Three Gold Balis.

Simply because, when you ars scared or frightoned, the blood almost leaves yourface entively. Under norâ€" mal conditions, the red blood whick is flowing through the arteries of your face gives the face a reddish tinge, and your face becomes white wher you are frightened, because then the blood leaves the face. It is quite singular, but when you are really frightened, whatever the cause may be, the human system receives such & shock that the heart just about stops beating altogether. When your heart stops beating of course the flow of the blood from the heart stops, and then there is no supply of fresh red blood coming through the arteries under the skin of your face. Therefore you look whiteâ€"the color your face would be if no blood ever flowed through your arteries and veins. Some people have faces so white they look as though they were scared all the time. This is not because they have no blood flowing through the veins and arteries in their faces, but because their sup ply of blood is less than other people‘s and sometimes because the walls of their arteries and veins are so much thicker than the average that the color of the ‘blood. does not show through. There are also many people who have so much blood in their sysâ€" tems all the time, and the walls of whose arteries are so thin, that they look atâ€"all times as though they might be blushing. â€" > Chaplain (to soldier trying to get a donkey on the ship)â€"*"You seem t« boina&fficultu,mum Can 1 he@p you?"
