of the business side of the federation
and referred to the recognition which
is coming to club women in this state,
the governor having appointed several
club women to important positions.
Miss Lee Bowers gave some va
cation Notes which were full of in
terest. Her youthful enthusiasm and
clever. description carried her audi
ence with her on her vacation trip
across America. With her they jour-
neyed to Chicago and viewed its won
derful shops and boulevards, travelled
through the busy west, visited the #ex-
position in California, stopped at Cat
alma Island, at Los Angeles uni

abused. The man who does not pay
his debts pays penalty or tax every
time he buys a dollars worth of mer-
chandise; but not only must he pay
this tax, but the man who pays his
debts is compelled to bear his share
of this unjust taxa tax collected in
increased price on the commodities of
life occasioned by the failure of the
debtor to pay his bills.
1t is often said that the customers
of the retail merchants who pay cash
pay more for their merchandise than
they should, because they have to pay
for what a deadbeat gets without pay
ing, and there is much truth in the
statement, too-the man who pays his
bills, pays cash, does really pay more
for the commodities of life than he
should pay because so many do not
pay.
National Pay-Up Week had its be
ginning in the little city of Waukon,
Iowa, a county seat of but little over
1000 population at the end of a little
railway in the northeastern part of the
state of Iowa. Waukon is beautiful
little city, and busy business center,
but the people of that community are
like the people in many another town
and community-thati is, some of them
have, during the past years, bought

ing their debts and urged business
men in other towns to give greater at
tention to their collections, and soon
other towns began trying the plan
all with splendid results And now
the entire country seems ready for
this extraordinary event of National
Pay-Up Week
A good slogan to be used from now
till National Pay-Up Week would be,
You pay your bills-I will pay mine,

How to Tell If Il Is Silver.

To distinguish silver from white
metal the Jeweler and Metalworker
gives the following directions: Rub
on a piece IF slate, wet the streak
with dilute nitric acid, by which it is
dissolved, and then add drop or two
of hydroo-loric acid from the end of a
glass rod, when a curdy white precipi-
tate is formed which does not disap-
pear on the addition of small or
large quantity of water. being, in fact,
indissoluble in this, while most other
metals will not be thus affected.

the week of January 9-15, 1915, the
principal of the high school, who hap
pens to be secretary of the CONNER
cial club, suggested that it would he
good thing for Waukon to have d
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
considerable money in outstanding ac-
counts. So the week of January o.
Is was advertised as Pay-Up Week,
and during that time in this little
city, over $4,000 in old accounts was
wiped off the books of the local bust
ness houses.
Everybody seemed to join in the
spirit, and consequently all found it
easy to pay their debts. And it is
needless to say that prosperity
reigned in that town, for it means
something to a town of 1000 popula-
ton to lift a debt of $4,000 in one
weeks time, and especially when part
Of the debt is so old that it has been
considered uncollectible.
The results of Pay-Up Week at
Waukon were so good that the Mer
chants Trade Journal, a national mag
azine read by retail merchants in ev
cry town of any consequence in the
entire country. told its readers of the
success of the Waukon people in pay

amendment, either in the present

Two leaders of the national society
opposed to suffrage argued that the
party already had declared that suf-

that moreover a majority Of American

SOME SCENES OF DISORDER
Militia Summoned to Take Situation
In Hand and Martial Law ls Pro-

Hopewell, Va.-This mushroom town
or $4,000 people, grown up since last
summer with the great new guncotton
plant of the Dupont Powder Company,
was completely destroyed by fire
which started in a restaurant and did
property damage estimated at from
one to three million dollars. The Du-
pont works outside Of the settlement
was undamaged. but was once SER
iously threatened. Villages A and B.

families Of married employees Of the
factory. also escaped.
Scenes Of wild disorder accompa-
MED the fire and citizens lynched a
negro for looting. There was no loss
OF life otherwise and only few minor
injuries were reported.
Martial law was proclaimed with
the arrival Of six militia companies,
rushed from Richmond by order Of
Governor Stuart. The thousands Of
homeless men, women and children
had been sent to Petersburg and
Richmond, but many men remained to
guard what little property they had
been able to save.
The fire was said to have been
c, .sed by the overturning Of an oil
stove, though there were rumors that
1t had been incendiary. These ru-
mors first were given credence in
many quarters because of the ar
rest at the gun cotton factory of a
man whom, factory officials said, had
attempted to put charge Of nitro

and had been under surveillance for
several days

we shall have guarantees that it will

WOULD ACCEPT PEACE PLAN
Germany Disavows Responsibility for
Continuation of War

Continuation of War
Berlin-(By Wireless to Sayville, N.
Y)-"1f our enemies make peace pro
posals compatible with Germany's
dignity and safety, then we shall al
ways be ready to discuss them" said
the Imperial Chancellor, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, in addressing the
Reichstag.
The chancellor made it clear that
in his opinion 1t would be folly for
Germany to oppose peace "as long as
in the countries Of our enemies the
guilt and ignorance Of statesmen are
entangled with confusion Of public
opinion"
Conscious Of her military successes,
the chancellor said, Germany declines
responsibility for a further continua.
ton of the war. Germany, he declared,
could not be charged with the purpose
or fighting on to make further con-
quests.
THE war can be terminated only
by peace which will give the certi-
tude that war Will not return" the
chancellor declared.
we all agree about that"
he asserted Germany's food sup.
plies were sufficient and that her i'm.
mense stores OF copper were ADEQUATE
for many years.
