PAY BILLS PROMPTLY.
The Way to Equalize Things in bus
mess.

There has been general complaint
by banks and individuals In the very
recent paat Of the scarcity OF money.
There is one way In which this strin-
gency may be alleviated to an appre-
ciable degree. The remedy Is the
simple but eminently practical one OF
paying bills promptly. The expedi-
lures for Christmas have been made
and In another day the New Year will
dawn upon the world. If throughout
the length and breadth Of this great
land men and women should resolve
to pay their bills promptly and adj
here to their resolutions. the effect on
financial conditions would be pro-
nounced and salutary Every man
and woman who can should con-
tribute in this WY to the relief Of the
monetary stringency The result will
be to put IN circulation great vol
ume Of mcney and thus give slim
nlus to business and enterprise. BAL

WORK OF FIENDS

GARDNERVILLE. July 20.-Last
Sunday night an aggregation of
toughs invaded the town and during
the evening one of their number COM
mited a daring hold-up. Tinker
Pete was the victim and while labor
iously making his way down the
street with a load that he could have
carried in two trips mu h easier than
one, a fiend threw red pepper in the
eyes of the harmless old man and
took Sc or 81 from his pockets. No
clue has been found hat would lead
to the apprehension of the author of
the crime.
The old tinker's eyes are still in a
frightful enlamed condition from the
red pepper and he has suffered great
pain.
