The first method is ex- cellent PROVIDED you can pay by bank check later on The second method sounds sensi- be but is not always practical, convenient or de- srable Bills paid with cash sometimes turn up later unpaid. It isn't pleasant to pay bills sec ond time Even when receipt has been given unless it has been preserved and can be produced, the bu urden of proof lies with you. The third me- thod, the Pay-By- Bank Check way. is the best way,-because the check you write in payment is a complete record, to whom, when, amount. The other persons endorsement is receipt.

HAPPINESS A DUTY

To be happy at Christmas time is Duty The way to be happy is to make others hap py. Have you heard it said, "Christmas is only for the rch? It is not true. It Christ, born in manger of poor parentage brought true happiness into the world. The wise Men of the East who brought their gifts, sought no gifts in return, favors The gifts we be- stow upon others this year will bring pleasure and happiness only when given in the spirit of unse fshness The unwritten law of compensation in life says, We get what we give" The same mea sure of joy and happiness comes to us that we give to others Christmas is at hand. It is time to be happy by making others happy. And happiness is not measured by the money value of gift so much as by the spirit in which it is given. Let all do Duty and be Happy.
