This plan is to adopt a constitu.

This will, in the first place, prevent

Every nation has its curse.
Ours is the overworked credit sys'

If every. business and professional
man in this community we're asked as
to whether he would rather sell for
cash at a considerable discount in

we believe the vote would be unani-
nous In favor of cash and reduced

The credit system is a nuisance. 1t

Every merchant who extends credit
gets taken in by the deadheads. He
loses not only his profits, but the cost
or MS goods as We'll.
And what then does he do? Just
what you or any other sensible per-
son would do-raises the prices sufi-
GENTLY on his wares to protect him
against such losses. And the man
who pays his own bills also pays the
bills of the deadbeat.
If a person can pay at theend of
every thirty days it would require but
little retrenchment and sacrifice to
enable him to reach the point where
he can pay cash where he goes.
When the merchant carries your
account he virtually lends you his
money, and this should not be. The
bank is the proper place for such
transactions.
By paying cash for his goods the
dealer can get a substantial discount
from the wholesaler. and this dis
count, coupled with the saving of the
usual deadbeat losses. would make q
material reduction in the cost OF SUR
plies. But he can hardly stand the
strain of a cash transaction himself
while he is extending from thirty to
ninety days credit to Dick, Tom and
Harry and all of the little Harrys.

TEN THINes ZOE FARMERs To Do
His Co cooperation with wife WIN Re-
move MANY fife nrudUarios

move Many Farmlife Drudgeries.
While this improvement in mental
attitude may be the first thing to en-
.phasize, however, there are numerous
lps6ctical ways for the farmer 10 help
make Mrs. Farmer happier. And since
! Secretary Houston has pointed out ten
kpractical ways for the government to
help, we are now going to point out ten
ways for the farmer as an individual
to help.
/. We would emphasize first of all
| the need for an improved water supply.
Every farmer IL out of debt should be-
Jgin putting aside money to get water
works and il not out of debt should be-
gin looking forward to getting out so
that he may put in water-works.
. Thousands of farmers, however, have
not even dug wells, even when a we'll
for all time to come might be dug with
less labor than it takes to tote water
from the spring for six months.
2. He should have his wife join
some Woman's club-the United Farm
Women or something else-so she may
meet with otker women at least twice
a month. And then help her to get to
the meetings even If the horses are
lat other work The man who goes to
town once or twice a week and talks
with friends or passers-by nearly every
day, doesn't understand how hungry
a1s wife gets for an exchange of ideas
with other women
8. He should put his wife and fam
lily in touch with the outside world by
means of the telephone if there is any
telephone system in the community,
and if not, he should keep everlastingly
agitating the matter until the farmers
of the neighborhood get together and
organize a cooperative line.
4. He c2n provide at all times plen-
ty of good newspapers magazines and
books for the home-and as good mus
-ical instruments as he can afford.
5. He can build a small, comforta-
BILE, properly designed kitchen where
everything is made as convenient as
possible.
+, 6. He can arrange for Mrs. Farmer
to get away from the daily grind for a
genuine vacation of a week or a month
each year.
z. He can provide a good range,
which will make the work of cooking
u Od6AO1 LII A4O4 = 6oL40AdSIOIy
8. See that she has a ~fircless cook

to bake over a hot stove for long and
unnecessary hours in the summer, be-

the cooler weather as well.
~ g. Give her neutrality-suspicious., |
cows, a truck patch or somethtng-out
Of which she can make some money or
her own to be spent in her own way.
10. See that she has a good sewing
Llachine. and the best arrangement you
can afford about the laundry work, in
certainly a good washing ma
chine If she does her W washing.
OF course the average farmer cannot
provide all these facilities at once but
he can decide, which should be put in
first and then add the others as fast as
he can to them. And meanwhile look
