Promr Payment Of Small Debts.

We want 10 say good word Tor the
man who promptly pays all his small
obligations. There is too few of him
and the breed needs encouraging, Most
men will pay some time, but only the
few promptly. Almost any business
man doing credit business will testi-
fy that, counting time, postage, book
keeping, interest and the like, il costs all
some accounts are worth to collect them
and still the man owing it to them is
perfectly good in financial way. 1t
very often happens that the worst sin
ners in this particular are the men best
able to pay, We have known more than
one case where man having money on
deposit in the bank drawing interest,
made poor little storekeeper wait and
wait for his pay nearly year, SO that
the debtor might get the benefit of the
four per cent interest which his bank
deposit drew. God bless the man who
is uneasy just as long as he owes man
n dollar and who, when he has the
money to pay with, viii hunt up his
creditor with as much energy as some
creditors are forced to use in hunting
up their debtors. The every day bust
uess Of any community would be inn
mensely benefited by the prompt pay
nent by all Of the small obligations, for 4
dollar can id lot Of business in twenty
TOUR hours when it Is on the road and
travelling. The slackness of few mel
n this particular in community makes
harder for all TO carry this plan int.

Cooperation

Cooperation means Co-operation-just
that, to-day, tomorrow, next daylight
along all the time so long as any organ
ization based upon it exists Selfshness
and cooperation can't work together
Sacrifice and cooperation make full
team. As a great and fundamental
economic factor, if rightly applied, it is
full OF splendid possibilities; il used by
the individual for purely selfish ends it
invariably results in astupendous failure.
Where men will hang together and stand
for their mutual interest, even for the
time being at personal sacrifice, cooper.
alton always succeeds, but when self and
individual interests rule, it always fails.
These are plain, homely truths it is well
to keep in mind in promoting any sort
Of cooperative scheme.

friend asks how it is that birds
which migrate tc the south in the fall,
going perhaps thousand miles, Will
return to their old nesting places the
following spring. This is one Of the
mysteries OF bird life. The sense of
location is abnormally developed in
nearly all birds and in many animals
On it is based the development Of the
carrier pigeon. Wild geese, partially
tanned, escaping with their wild brothers
in the fall will almost invariably return
to the locality where they were raised
in the spring. A dog shipped by express
800 miles has been known to find bis
way back home. So with horses. We
once carried month old little pig in a
box three miles and had it escape the
next day and find its way back to its
mother.

Poor Laws.

Our game laws, and laws for the pro-
lection of our birds as applied to all
birds of migratory character are a
wretched fraud. For instance, the
mourning dove, the meadow lark, the
'obin and yellow hammer. or high hole,
are vigorously protected by law in Iowa
md We think also in Minnesota, where
they breed, and cannot be killed at any
season of the year. In the fall these
birds, raised and fattened to quite an
extent on the grains and fruits of north
srn agriculturists and horticulturists 90
south and are slaughtered by the mil
ion in Texas. Arkansas, Mississippi and
other southern states as game birds.
This is not right. We need concert of
action between the states touching
game laws, or rather it is really sub
lect for national legislation.
