There would never have been jackpot legisla-
ture in Illinois if the farmers had been at the polls
on the 9Th day Of August 1908 They were then
threshing their oats and could not be persuaded to
leave the fields sufficient length of time to go to the
ballot box And SO there is after all, vital connec-
ton between oats crops and ack-pots. The stay-at-
home vote is sufficient to win battles for decency and
for temperance The farmers of the state must come
to understand that where the sowing the harvesting

their home interests, and their community interests,
these greater things must have the right-of-way.

The Rev. j. Frank Norris, pas
tor of the First Baptist church, of

What Is The Merchants
Protective Association

1t has been asked many times,
What is this Merchants Protec-
tive Association9" What is its
purpose2" What do the members
of the Association propose to dol"
To answer these questions is the
purpose of this article.
The Merchants Protective As
sociation of Montgomery county is
composed of large majority of
the business men and firms of the
county and many more are expect
ed.to take membership in the near
future. The purpose of the organ
izstion, primarily, is to protect its
members from losses from bad
debts and to assist in the collection
of accounts.
How does the Association pro-
pose to operate9 Answering this
question briefly, once each month
each member will prepare a list of
his past due accounts, classifying
them as SLOW" doubtful or
bad" depending upon the length
of time each account is past due.
These lists are forwarded to the
general Office of the Association
where the delinquent debtors are
listed in record kept for that pur.
pose. When all the members lists
are in and posted a bulletin is com.
piled of all delinquents according
to the above classification, and 8
copy of this bulletin is mailed .tc
every member of the Association,
and thus each member knows how
many firms have past due accounts
against every delinquent.
What is SLOW" accountY
The time was when merchants
were allowed six months and fire
quently a year, in which to pay
their wholesale bills but that time
n S long since past. The term.
upon which the merchant nov
buys his goods are cash, or in ,
few cases, thirty days. He can
not pay interest on past due &C
counts and run them but must dis
up the cash and pay the bills wher
due or be sued and lose his credit
If your merchant allows you TIVE
months, four months or six months
credit he is merely lending yol
that much money as he has to pay
his wholesaler long before you o !
your account. Therefore ''slow
account is an account that is no
paid when due. A doubtful" &C
count is one the merchant hope
to collect sometime" A bad
account is like and over ripe egs
lit needs no explanation.
There are people who, becaus,
they have a plenty of this world.
goods, feel that they should be al
lowed to settle their accounts, no
when they are due, but when these
well to do customers get good anC
ready to pay. The merchant needs
this money as he cannot discoun
his bills with his customers mer,
ability to pay. Good intentions dc
not pay bills. Money talks.
In few words, the Merchant,
Protective Association is a loca
Bradstreet or Dun. If you expect
a merchant to credit you, that mcr
chant is entitled to know whether
or not you are delinquent in your
payments to other merchants. Il
you are reported to the Associa
ton as Slow, doubtful" OIL
"bad", don't blame the merchant
but place the responsibility where
it should rest-upon yourself.
