A Laboratory of Thought.

Kansas and Wisconsin are now run
ming neck and neck when it comes to
freak legislation. The odds are all in
favor Of Kansas, the unique state Of
the union. 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 passed and is being enforced
which might interest the rest of the
country. A day is set aside every year
andi designated "Bring-It- Back Day"
Those who borrow money, those who
borrow property. those who borrow
anything Of borrowable 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 article and
brings it back anyway that il, 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 position to make
restitution does his aud her best to do
so. Debt is the secret foe of thrift.
The debt habit is the twin brother of
poverty. The great trouble of the
country is the credit system. An I'M
known man with scarcely any trouble,
obtains credit. This encourages many to
60 wrong. People who have credit and
do credit business buy more than they
need. To keep clear in the eyes of the
world, operate on q 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 disaster. In
these two laboratories of thought laws
have been enacted which may seem
foolish, but there is logic in 10th. In
neither 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. produces friend. This is why
credits are so easily obtained, but il
must be remembered that large debt
creates an enemy. The pay-up week
idea and bring-it.back day in Wiscon-
sin are not so foolish after all. There
is so much method in such Legislation
that it should not be ridiculed. The
first step in debt is like the first step
10 fslsehoOd. 1t must be followed up
until one IS hopelessly involved. Pay
up, bring il back, keep yourself clear.
The way then will be free Of obstacles.

Now that men of unquestioned
character have been elected to member
ship on the state election board it is
confidently hoped that fights within the

sides seem happy over the election of
Capt. ]. M. Brackin of Dyersburg and
L. j. Pardue of Ashland City to fill
the vacancies on the board. And for
the first time since party strife began
the board is composed of two bona fide

The Falcon feels particularly proud
OF the unprecedented growth in its adj
vertising patronage in the past year.
For more than a month we have been
carrying about as many inches of ad.
vertising as was printed of the whole
paper in the local Office when the pre-.
sent manager took charge. six years
ago. The growth of this end of our
business has been steady and rapid.
And we believe it is due to two prin.
cipal reasons; Advertising in The

same to every customer who uses our

double the advertising we carried the
corresponding week five years ago.
