MERCHANTS MUST HAVE CASH

The merchants of the county are to
hold a meeting here today, Saturday.
for the purpose of agreeing, if possible,
upon some plan by which they can
protect themselves against bad ac-
counts. Their leniency in the mat
ter of credit is abused by so many
people and to such an extent that
some sort of an organization for mu-
tual protection is fast coming to be
regarded by the merchants as neces-
sity. No disposition is likely to be
manifested to press any man unreas-
onably. but on the other hand it is
unreasonable for any customer to ex-
pect merchant to ''carry" him for
month after month. especially when
the merchant knows that the customer
could pay if he would. Almost every
where throughout the country jobbers
are calling upon their customers for
prompt settlements. Nowhere is the
credit OF wholesalers or country mer-
chants better than it is in this state.
and yet it is said that eastern goods
are arriving for some of the leading
jobbers of Seattle with bills of lading
attached, meaning that the cash must
be forthcoming on short notice. In
order to get the cash the jobbers are
obliged to require prompt payments
from their customers. and the latter.
IN their turn, must look to their Gus
toners. the consumers, for money.
In the language of Ex- President Cleve-
land. sit is condition and not a
theory that confronts Them" A few
days ago the writer happened to hear
a local merchant remark that his sales
for the day amounted to 1925. Of
which less than $40 had been paid in
cash. Under the circumstances the
merchants can hardly be blamed if
they reach the conclusion that they
would rather keep their goods in stock

upon which they cannot get cash.

One day Mr.. Hill rolled into town

Of the little club at East Sound is

had pinned their faith absolutely to

and good will is most cordially appre-

There are many people through

glad to do everything in their power
to enable their merchant friends to

certainly wishes the merchants sue

linquent and establish their business

striking personal resemblance
in these two ladies, but also in
their acting. Miss Hayes Lam
bert, like Miss Bates, has adopt
ed the modern school of acting
which has won for the former
such removed fame, and is fast
bringing Miss Lambert up to
the standard of high class me-
tropolitan attention. In "The
Girl and The Stampede" Miss
Hayes Lambert wins your ad-
miration. In the second act,
she simply intensifies and
thrills one with her wonderful
personality and admirable act
ing; the second act would be
termed the stronger of the four
great acts, yet in the writer's
opinion the third act brings
Miss Lambert nearer to the
audience, in her simple girllsh-
ness she cleverly brings forth
cheers of approval by her ex-
cellent, clever intensity by
which she compels her uncle
to produce the evidence of her
fathers forgery. The gowns
worn by her are simple but
very becoming, in fact, the
simplicity of her costuming
and acting are so in keeping
with her part that she simply
stands superb. once seen, never

THE FLAMING ARROW,

Lincoln J. Carter's border
drama, "The Flaming Arrow"
will open an engagement of
one night, Wednesday, Sept.
9th.
1t is said to posses the true
western melodramatic flavor
depending for its success upon
it's brisk action, exciting
climaxes and stage mounting,
togather with an adroitness of
dramatic conception and an
excellent plot. An exciting
race is the feature of the first
act. Interest is increased in
the second act by a realistic
council fire pow-wow and
ghost dance by the Indians of
the company. The third act
contains a number of humer.
specialties including a brass
band. The company is said to
be one of the largest that will
appear at the Wahpeton Opera
House this season, number
some thirty people. Much
care has been given the piece
and an excellent mounting
aboev the Carter standard is
promises.
