MAKE 1T A PAY UP WEEK

Why not make the first week in January PAY Up
Week" for this town and this community? y
Why can't we all make the rounds and paw ,lp all
our bills pay at Least much possible on each one
of them?
Why can't we make this town where credits are a
pleasure, and where bad debts and slow pay and ind
ference unknown?
We would all feel better and the people we paw
would feel even still better and they would then be able
to pay what they owe.
Bills have to be paid some time or other, and the
beginning OF new year is OppOrtune time to wipe
them out and start with clean slate. But il allowed
to run they will drag along from month to month and
in the end everybody will be wishing everybody else
wouldn't be so everlastingy slow about paying what
they owe.
The man who pays his bills promptly and starts the
new year free from debtcan always get credit when he
wants it, and he won't have TO 60 hunting around for
an endOrser His face and his word will be good enough
for any business house.
But the fellow who allows his bills to run indefinite
y and is Indifferent to the needs of his creditors is an
unsafe risk at best and his reputation for honesty and
reliability does not improve with age.
This is pretty good town and our people are gen.
orally good on pay but make it better if we want
to. Let's oil pay up

CORK FORESTS.
Money Making Trees That Grow In the
Poorest Kind Of Soil,

Money Making Trees That Grow in the
Poorest Kind Of Soil.
The cork oak is a kind Of Jack at all
trades among trees, and its service in
dcates well the kind of new freedom
that trees may give US by their new
helpfulness If we will just give them
a chance. If the garden of Eden story
had been written in Spain or Portugal
l think the fortunate couple would
have been placed in possession of a
cork forest If a man in either of
these countries has a forest Of good
cork trees you will find him in Madrid,
Lisbon or Paris. His cork forest works
for him, and he stays in town.
Cork trees grow on the rocklest and
poorest land. The poorer the land the
finer the quality of the cork. Every
eight or ten years the outer bark is
stripped from the trees to furnish the
ever more highly priced cork of COM
MERGE. By dividing the land up into
blocks this decenntal harvest will pro-
duce fairly regular income.
These same oak trees produce acorns,
often heavily, which are sold to some
farmer, who drives his herds of lean
hogs into the forest, where they har-
vest the acorns and turn them into
saiable meat. A Portuguese hog is eX-
pected to gain two pounds a day for
ninety days when aco-ns are ripe.
More than this, there is beneath the
oak trees some heritage fit for goats to
eat Thus the cork forest owner in LIS
bon gets income from three contrac
tors-the cork stripper, the pork raiser
and the goat raiser. And with care
the forest lasts forever. The individual
cork tree is good for hundred years
or more, after which it is a fine big
salable tree, with enough young ones
near it to take its place when it is
gone to market. In Portugal a cork
tree, ready for its third stripping, is
considered worth $25. When in full
bearing an acre of these oaks will
yield from one to three tons Of cork
at a stripping, now worth about $40
ton to the grower. Most of this is
profit. The pork is profit. 1t is the
common rule that the income from
the pasture pays the small cost Of
caring for the forest-J. Russell Smith
