Business Changes.

Among the business changes
may be noted that of John Sci
ders at Cito, who recently sold
his store to Cam Mellott, a son of
G. Wesley Mellott, who now has
charge of the business, and Mr..
Seiders has retired to his farm
near Cito. Hon. D. Hunter Pat
terson, of Webster Mills, has also
retired from the mercantile busi-
ness and sold his store to Mr.. d.
E. Grouse. Tom as he is famili-
arly known has been in the store
a long time as a clerk, knows
every inch of the yard stick and
is popular with the patrons. Har-
ry Duffy, the well known miller
at Webster Mills, has decided, as
they say about the doctors, to
take life easy, and he has sold
his mill to his sons H. A. and G..
R. The boys have grown up with
mill-dust in their hair, and are
entirely familiar with the ins and
outs of the business. Here's sue
cess to the whole bunch.

A Laboratory Of Thought.

Kansas and Wisconsin are now
running neck and neck when it
comes to freak legislation. The
odds are all in favor of Kansas,
the unique state of the nuion,
Wisconsin has asserted a claim
which must be recognized. There
is, according to the Postal Guide,
a town near Lacrosse which is
indexed Waukon. In this little
town an ordinance has been pass
ed and is being enforced which
might interest the rest of the
country. A day is set aside every
year and is designated Bring
It-Back- Day." Those wh o
borrow money, those WI o
borrow property, those who
borrow anything of a bor-
rowable nature, are supposed on
this particular day to bring it
back, and if they do not comply
with the municipal edict the town
marshal goes after the borrowed
articles and brings it back any,
way that is, if he can get it.
In Kansas the PAY -Up-Week"
celebration has been a fruitful
success and this week of the 81
almost everybody who is in a
position to make restitution does
his and her best to do so. Debt
is the secret foe of thrift. The

People who have credit and do a
credit business buy more than
they need. To keep clean in the
eyes of the world, operate on a
cash basis. This is not always
possible. Some people have to
depend on credit to exist, but
when they are in this position
they must understand that they
are standing on the brink of dis
aster. In these two laboratories
of thought laws have been enact
ed which may seem foolish, but
there is logic in both. In neith-
er case will the laws be held con-
stitutional, but at the same time
they encourage some people to
do the right thing and pay up.
A small debt, many argue, pro-
duces friend. This is why
credits are so easily obtained, but
it must be remembered that a
large debt creates an enemy.
The pay-up-week idea and bring
it-back day in Wisconsin are not
so foolish after all. There is so
much method in such legislation
that is should not be ridiculed.
The first step in debt is like the
first step in falsehood. 1t must
be followed up until one is hope
lessly involved. Pay up, bring it
back, keep yourself clear. The
way then will be free of obsta-
cles.
