Keep Out of Debt.

From indications we believe that
the dealers in general merchandise
throughout this county are in a more
sound and healthier condition than
they have been for years, and in a
large measure have curtailed the
ruinous credit system which proves SO
disastrous to them and their patrons.
No business firm with a limited
capital can do safe business when
their assets are upon their books by
way Of accounts against their custom
ers. While the credit system is unsafe
for dealer, 1t is equally bad for those
who buy. When payment is exacted
from a person for that which is pur-
chased, they are limited to the extent
of their means and are therefore COM
PEELED to deny themselves many things
they would otherwise go in debt for.
The merchants who have brought
their business to practically cash
basis are to be commended for 1t. BY
so doing they have not only benefited
themselves but helped their custom
ers. We should be glad to see a
further restraint put upon the people
of this county in other kinds of pur-
chases, besides that of general mer-
chandisc. We refer to the purchasing
of spring wagons and buggies i'm par
ticular, in this the people have gone
rampant. Now a days young man Is
years Of age feels that he is not fully
equipped to call upon a young lady
unless he can sport horse and buggy.
This Is alright If the boys have paid
for their outfit, bul If an iron-clad
note has been given with 10 per cent
interest after six months, and Is per
cent after maturity, it is all wrong.
The latter position is the one occupied
by many of our boys throughout the
valley. We venture to say if cash had
been called for when these buggies
were bought, not half of the vehicles
would be in use today. We do not de-
sire to interfere with anybody's trade,
but wish to call attention to some of
these reckless purchases which have
an evil tendency by way of extrava-
gance, The fall of the year is the
time when notes usually become due,
taxes and other current expenses of
life makes, the burden of debt heavy.

About one third Of the area Of the
United States Is now covered by rural

1t is expected that the whole country
will be covered in three years. The
service when completed will require
27,OOO men and will cost annually

recommends that city free delivery
service be extended to towns having a
population of 5000 or gross postal
receipts of 5000 the limit now being
$4,000 people or $4,000.

To the YOUNG.

The care for the aged is sometimes
thoughtlessly overlooked. Those of
younger years, now enjoying the vigor
of manhood should not forget those
who have Travelled the stony paths Of
life and become hoary headed and
bent in form; if nothing more than
shake OF the hand and an inquiry as
to their welfare, wishing them con-
tinued good health and longevity.
The rustling young man in business
is liable to forget these little
duties that we owe to the
venerable ones who possibly in past
years have gone through the hardships
of pioneers life and made it possible
for the younger ones to own and live
in comfortable homes surrounded by
the comforts Of life. BE affable, kind
and loving. Cultivate disposition of
this kind especially to the aged and
in small way try to relieve them OF
any bnrdens they may be carrying,
thereby lending helping hand TO
make them happy, remembering
always that true happiness consists In
making Others happy,

with government aid that whole re.

Duty Of Parents Toward Children.

"And again, inasmuch as parents
have children in Zion, or in any of her
stakes which are organized, that teach
them not to understand the doctrine
of repentance, faith in Christ the Son
of the living God, and of baptism and
the gift of the Holy Ghost by the lay
ing on of the hands when eight years
old the sin be upon the heads of the
parents" Doctrine and Covenants
Section So Verse %.
The Latter Day Saints have heard
this quotation repeated many times
In their worshipping assemblies; they
themselves are better prepared to
judge as to the extent this has been
carried out in their immediate fami-
lies. No church has better Organiza-
lions than the Latter day Saints have
for the training Of their children in
Primaries, Religion Glasses, Sunday
Schools, etc. All of them equipped
with efficient officers, teachers and
aids of various kinds doing their work
for the labor of love. The question
arises whether or not there is not more
of a laxity on the part of the parents
then there should be owing to these
numerous advantages for the training
of the youth. The above organizations
must be remembered are auxilliaries
only to aid the parent, not to relieve
them whatever from their responsible
tiles towards their offspring. Support
of every kind should be rendered the
officers and teachers of children when
called for. Parents should visit the
various gatherings as much as possible
and thereby manifest an appreciation
of what is being done in the proper
training of the young, and at home
call the children around the fireside
and have them repeat what they have
learned which will have tendency
to strengthen their minds and prove
interesting toothers. Interspersed with
proper Instructions this will have a
good effect. Doing this from the Pri-
mary on up through all the higher
grades. If these small things are neg
lected by the parents, to some extent
the work of the teachers are neutraliz-
ed and through this indifference sorrow
and regrets may be felt when it is too
late. Parents train your children in
the way they should so and when they
become old they will not depart there
from. This Is the rule, there may be
exceptions to it, but do your part, after
which If children 60 astray "the sin
will not be upon your head" otherwise
1t will. The signs Of the times should
indicate to each and every parent, 1t
is their imperative duty to give such
parental care and guidance to their
children, that they may be preserved
from the pitfalls Of sin, which are so
prevalent. If parents through this
means can be successful in raising their
children Alright, what joy to be achieved
If on the other hand through indifrer-
ence they go wrong, then sorrow and
remorSe OF conscience will follow.
Parents, now is the time, not in the
future, to attend to these suggestions
then you will feel justified within your
selves that you have complied with
the requirement Of the Lord.

A LARGE FORCE AT THE SHOPS.
seaboard Forces Are Doing Heavy
Business Now

The Seaboard shops is easily the
busiest place in Americas at present
and has been for several weeks past,
owing to the large amount of car build
ng and repair work sent here from all
)ver the Fourth division. 1t is indeed
interesting to see the busy army :of
men employed there.
just now, 1t is said, the mechanical
'orce is larger than at any time within
the past three years.
This is especially true in the machine
shops, where large complement of
men are at work, while in the car
building and other departments as we'll
the forces have been materially in
creased
Quite a lot of repair work is coming
into the Americns.shops now and this,
with increased work in other depart
ments, keeps the number of men en-
oloyed up to the highest point. All

there is probably need of more.
Several months ago it was announced
that in future much of the coach repair
work would be done in the srnandina
shops instead of in Americas, but all

SSSkiled artisans are required to do it,
and the best wages are paid.
As evidence of the amount of work
now in hand at the Americas shops, it
may be stated that the forces in the
machine shops work every night until
8 o'clock or later.
The Seaboard shops is prominent
among the industrial enterprises OF
Americas, and every citizen is proud
of it. Outside of Portsmouth it is the
largest shop on the entire system, and
is thoroughly equipped with the most
improved mechanical appliances. $50
1t is busy hive of industry that
pours vast sum annually into the
