These merchants took advantage of the
fact that the association was against
price cutting and advertised to the
world that they were entirely indie
pendent and believed in giving mer-
chandise to the consumer at prices
that would not rob them. This sort of
advertising helped them for while
and gave them prestige over the more
legitimate merchant. He wished for
the closer union of all the merchants
Mr.. Lawrence OF Lake City, does not
believe in cutting prices. He says he
would rather work less and make q
reasonable profit than work hard at a
small profit.
Mr.. Meneilley, of Minneapolis, would
have everybody in one big association
and that each member should help the
other That the officers would help
and give advice to all those asking and
needing it.
A. J. Leonard, of Norwood, then
threw a bomb into the audience by
stated that he had repeatedly cut prices
with great success. His talk was very
practical and caused much general dis
custom More theoretical brothers
were not pleased with the talk, and
j. j. Robb and Mr.. Dingman both an
swered Mr.. Leanord, endeavoring to
eliminate the great harm resulting
from price cutting
This general discussion was followed
by paper on Credit System" by S.
j. Anderson, of Belgrade. He said that
the people of today all live beyond
their means, that a majority are very
extrava CANT and careless-all of which
he claims is due to the credit system
used by many merchants over the
country. He says, also, that many enc
mics ara q result of this practice. He

Dodging a Debt.

The citizens and council of Attica,
Kan, are discussing the question
whether it would be better to arbi-
trste with the bondholders or to
move the town The town is and has
been for several years carrying an
Indebtedness of about $685. 900, in
Guiding old sugar mill bonds and
interest. It was decided that if the
matter cannot be adjusted for the
amount the town is able to pay the
citizens will move their business
houses and residences to a piece of
ground about a quarter of a mile
south of where they now stand. The
leading business men are in favor Of
moving. Ness City, the county seat
of Ness County, has also decided on
this method of unloading her burden
of debt. A contractor, has consented
to move every building in Ness City
to a new site nearly a mile away for
half of the city's Indebtedness. Half
a dozen other Kansas towns are now
debating whether it will not be
cheaper to move than to pay bonds.

Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as a kind of insult to be asked
i they have weak lungs. All seem to
have a solid faith in the soundness OF
their own breathing machine. In cases
of trouble they will admit there is a
heavy cold" "a touch of bronchitis
or even "a spell Of asthma but as to
weak or unsound lungs. never. NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive, who scarce
ly speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush of doom, will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far
We may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles Of those near and dear
10 US. 1t is also a sad thought that we
may hug a delusion as to our own health
that we only get rid Of when lite itself
must pay the forfeit.
Nobody can afford to think lightly
of lung troubles. Nobody can afford to
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford to neglect
them, or 'let them wear OUT or get
better in the spring" or any other TOM
foolery that leads only to wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back

the tubercular growth, while it also
builds up the patient so that his system
