There is one thing that every young

to keep his credit good. All business
men regard their credit as very val

beyond their income. We have several
cases in this vicinity where the young

will refuse to sell them anything with
out the cash. Some of them seem to
have the idea that 1t is a very smart
thing to beat the merchant out or
few dollars and consider themselves
that much ahead. And that is just
where they are making the biggest
mistake of their lives. The few dollars
are not going to force that merchant
into bankruptcy but just the same he
will always remember the fact that the
young mans word is absolutely unrc-
liable and some day the young fellow
may require references as to his char
acter and honesty in order to secure a
good paying position. Do you imagine
that the merchant will recommend him
to anyone? Not for a minute. The
merchant will simply tell the plain
truth regarding the young man and
that VIII be sufficient to prevent him
from securing the position. Or the

HUNTERS AND THE LAW.
While chatting with a farmer the
other day he reported that some hunt
er had shot the best brood SOW he had.
Another farmer reported that he had
lost fine young heifer from the same
cause, and there are probably many
other similar losses or will be before
the season is over. Here is another
case of too much law and not enough
enforcement. Hunters have absolute
ly no right to go upon the premises of
another without a written permission
nor can they legally shoot in the pub
lie highways. The law is ample but
the enforcement is weak. Under Kan
sas laws there is no place in the state
where any hunter can shoot game legal
ly unless he has written permission
from q land owner or owns the land
himself. Farmers have the remedy in
their own hands if they will force their
officers to do their duty.-Kansas
