WEEK A
NATIONAL IDEA
Example Of Iowa Town Has Be-
come Nation Wide in Scope.
FEBRUARY 2l.26 HAS BEEN DESIG-
MATED AS PAY.UP WEEK
Idea Suggested Might be Tried With
Good Effect In This City to Clear
the Docket.

What promises to become an annual
national event has been inaugurSted
as National Pay-Up Week, February
21-26, inclusive.
Credit is one of the great assets of
our present-day system Of business,
but like many another good thing, 1t is
sometimes abused and overdone; and
because SO many people are careless
about paying their accounts, there are
millions upon millions of dollars in
outstanding accounts in this country
today that could be paid without In
conyeniencing the debtor, and II all
these millions of dollars were put into
circulation during one week, there
would be the greatest week of pros
perity ever known in this country.
National Pay-Up Week had its be-
ginning in the little city of Waukon,
Iowa, county seat of but little over
1000 population at the end of little
railway in the northeastern part Of the
state Of Iowa. Waukon is a beautiful
little city, and busy business center,
but the people Of that community are
like the people in many another town
and communicated is, some OF them
have, during the past years, bought
goods for. which they never paid, until
the week of January 9-16, 1915, the
principal of the high school, who hap
pens to be secretary of the CONNER
cial club suggested that it would be
a good. thing for Waulen to have day
of reckoning, or rather, a week OF
reckoning. The idea appealed to the
business men of Waukon, more par
,ticularly to. the merchants who had
eQnsiderable money in outstanding &C
counts. So the week of January g.
IS was advertised as Pap-Up Week
. and during that time in that little city
Eover $50,000 in old accounts was wfp-
| ed off the books of the local bust
ness houses
| Everybody seemed to Join in the
/ spirit, and consequently all found Il
easy to- pay their debts. And It i.
needless to a say, that. ,prosperit,
reigned in that town, for, it means
something to a town Of 1000 popula
ton to lift a debt Of $50. 900 In on
!. weeks time, and especially when par
Of the debt is SO old that it has beel
considered uncollectible.

BULLS new CLUB ROOM
New Home of Commercial Club Form
ally Opened Wednesday Evening.

The Commercial Club rooms over
the Citizens State Bank were form
ally opened Wednesday evening with
an informal reception to the business
men of Buhl, their wives, the school
faculty and large number of farmers.
Secretary Bradley had completed the
work of arranging the rooms in the
afternoon and they presented an in
ylting appearance. Geed did himself
proud with the painting and tinting,
and numerous pictures, some the prop
erty of the club in years gone by, and
others recently donated by enterpris-
ing business men, decorated the walls.
A center table, over which hung a
Cornucopia, and upon which was a
large fruit dish full of choice fruits of
Buhl, was an object of admiration and
the subject of much favorable COM
ment. In different parts of the rooms
We're vases of flowers, carnations and
roses. and each lady was presented
with a carnation by the Secretary of
the club
There were sandwiches and punch
for all and after the ladies had gone
home, cigars for the gentlemen
S. B. Fritz, the photographer, very
kindly consented to run the series of
| colored slides of the Buhl Cuntry and
Idaho, and this proved very pleasing
diversion.
The Commercial club rooms are fix
ed up most attractively and once again
Buhl has a place where the business
men and farmers can meet for the
discussion of mutual interests and for
recreation. In this connection it is
worthy of note that the electric fix
lures were presented to the club by
the Great Shoshone & Twin Falls Wa
ter Power company and were installed
by Captain ]. G. Sloan and A. E
Dickey.
