IN these days of good times every man ought to make an at tempt, at least, to pay his debts. Much of the hard times in small communities is caused by peo- pie who abuse the credit which has been extended to them. If the credit system affected only one person, it would not be so bad, but every slow paying debtor causes trouble along the line. Pay your bills, and cur really good times will be much better, and will be felt throughout the entire community. It is the man who has money, can pay and will pay, but who negIects to do so, that unintentionally thrusts hardships upon concerns of both small and large capital. When you can pay, do so, and thus help the other fellow who is waiting on you to pay him that he may pay some one else.

Although it was at one time placed
with the bears, it is now regarded

not hard to please. When opportuni-

When these cannot be secured it will
support itself on fruits. and in cap
