:" am dealing In real estate all over
Pennsylvania" said a Pittsburg man,
"and thus 1 have a fair chance of
knowing how most of the towns are
getting on. Give me a house and lot
to sell in a village where things are
kept trim and neat and where the e
pie have public pride and are always
to the front, and / am sure of making
a cash sale without delay. On the con-
trary, ask me to sell property in a
village where the principal attractions
are mudholes and t~umbledown build
ings. and ! may carry it on my books
for three or four years and never get
an offer. I know some towns where
real estate is just as salable for cash
as If in the heart of New York city,
but In others the owner of $4,000 worth
of real estate couldn't borrow $3.50 on
it at even 10 per cent interest. A
town either goes ahead or begins to go
backward, and once it gets the name
Of being a dead and alive place It will
require the biggest sort of an effort to
restore its lost reputation"

E OF A TOWN..
When Clean and Well Paved They
Are a Splendid Advertisement.

When Clean and Well Paved The
Are q Splendid Advertisement.
Poor streets will do for q dead com
munity, but no town that has any en-
terprise about it will neglect its streets.
Good pavements, OF course, cost mon
ey, but they r a splendid investment
In the end, as has been proved in hun
dreds Of towns in the land. A town
well paved becomes clean and beauti-
full, and the value Of property is i'm
mensely enhanced.
Secure good streets and then keep
them clean. Much Of the dirtiness of
the streets could be prevented II the
citizens would be a little more careful.
A greater use of ash barrels or rubbish
cans would keep from the streets q
large portion Of the litter that now dis
figures them.
Nothing gives more agreeable first
impressions of a city or town than the
cleanliness of its streets, stores and
public places, and It may draw to them
many inhabitants and large invest
ments.
1t doesn't cost much and is very little
trouble to keep a town clean If the cit
izens will cooperate and do their share
in the matter, and there is no better adj
vertisement for a town. Home seekers
will 60 to a clean town just as one will
go to a clean store to buy his goods.
Poor streets discourage those who
would improve and b~eautify their prem
iseA, while clean, well paved streets
force many improvements, and there is
a general fixing up of residence front
ings.

THE WAR AT

The North Americans Chart
Will Enable You to Keep
Track of the Conflict.
THE CHILDREN
Every Move of Troops or Battle
ships Can be Instantly and
Accurately Reproduced.

What means have you at your disposal
keeping pace with the daily march Of
events that go to make up the fascinating
history of the great conflict that is being
waged in the Far East between Russia
and Japan2
How do you permanently fix in you
memory the losses and victories of the
striving nations, the movements of their
troops and fighting craft, the vessels that
have been disabled by the japanese, the
Stations of the fleets as they are sent
hither and thither by orders from st. Pet
ersburg or Toxic, or at the wills of their
commanders?
What strategic endeavors, contaminated
in the investment of this town or that, OF
the transferring of a raval or land base
from n point to another, did Japan or
Russia make last Friday, the Tuesday be-
lore that, or during the preceding week?
To unable its readers to answer what
has been suggested in these questions-in
a word to transfer in miniature the the.
atre of wal from Korea, Manchuria, ia
pan, or wherever it may extend, into the
home-The North American next Sunday
will provide the necessary equipment.
This will consist of a full-psge map in
colors of the territory embraced within
the area involved or likely to be involved
in the war. With the map will be pro-
vided fac SMILES of all the Russian and
the Japanese battleships, each correctly
named, together with groups of Russian
and Japanese soldiery.
By FASTING the battleships' and the
groups on bits of pasteboard and provid-
ing every n with a pin they are ready
for service at once. Red is the distin.
gushing color Of the Japanese troops and
ships and blue that of the Russian forces
and vessels.
The map should be mounted on a flat
surface, preferably after having been
fastened to heavy.cotton cloth. The use
of the cloth will prevent the paper upon
which the map is printed from being east
ly torn or mutilated.
There is no possible action OF either
side that the cable will report that can
not instantly be duplicated upon The
North Americans war chart.
Used in conjunction with the war maps
given away last Sunday, the war chart
will provide an infallible index to all that
goes on in the East.
The war chart will be printed on the
first page of the magazine section Of The
North American on Sunday, March g..
The edition is limited, and your order
should be filed with your newsdealer
without delay. This war chart can be
obtained with no opher newspaper.

made for the payment Of debts long due
a TRADE of v%irulent abuse is frequently
the only response the indulgent creditor
gets. II storekeepers, owners of houses,
doctors, undertakes, newspaper men,
dressmakers, ~tailors, and others were
asked: care your bills paid promptly ac-
cording to agreement" Must they not
answer: "Our books show many debts
months and even years overdue. Some
who owe us old debts deal in other
places. They become indignant if we
ask payment of our accounts. Others
who owed us bills moved away without
even calling to see u.s." People get in
dignant and abusive when asked to pay
their just debts long overdue! Is not
Such conduct most reprehensible and un-
christian? If such people call themselves
christians, how great the odium and dis
grace their dishonesty heaps on the
church There is another class who con-
tract debts without any intention of pay
ing them. They go from one store to
another, getting credit as long as they
can, they borrow money from this one
and that one, they owe bills here and
there, and pass their creditors by as il.
they did not owe a cent. The thief takes
your property stealthily and carries it
away. This class, coolly asks you to give
up your goods and deliver them too.
What a disgrace to the church if such
dishonest people call themselves chris
tians! Who does greater harm to the
church, who gives greater scandal, who
inficts greater injury on a community,
than the so-called christian who culpably
refuses to pay his debts?
v.
CONCLUSION AND REFRIGERATION.
Never do to others what you would not
wish to have done to yourself. Observe
this divine law when buying, borrowing,
trading and paying your bills. Be strict
ly honest and prompt in paying your
debts, no matter what others do. Let
your rule of business be Gods law. Hon.
esty wears, and secures esteem and con-
fdence. Dishonesty brings evils sooner
or later. Debts must be paid or all hope
of salvation abandoned. Tears of re-
pentance are unavailing unless all lawful
debts are paid. st. Augustine says: "No
sin is forgiven till you have restored what
you appropriated fra~udulently." Our
Lord declares: s'The unjust shall not
possess the kingdom of God" 1 Cor. VI
8. The conscientious christian breads
the least sin of dishonesty. Shun foolish
expenses, live within your income, and
don't contract debts that you can have
no hope Of paying when due. In nearly
every instance of people who owe debts
here and there and do not pay them,
mismanagement, spend thrift habits, liv-
ing beyond their means, or Incidence is
largely the cause. Hundreds of people
have the same work, receive about the
same wages, derive the same income
from business, and yet meet their obliga-
tions promptly. Where there is a will
to be honest there is a way to be honest.
The above sermon was preached by
Rev. Father Lyons, in Salem, and recent
ly published in the Sunbeam.
