satisfy himself he decided to max {
his regular trip to Tacoma Sunday
night, and to get off AZ the next sta
ton and come back.
This he did, h tod me, getting
back to his home about o'clock. He
remained out in the yard for a while
and saw some man, whom he did not
know, enter by the front door of the
house. In a few minutes he walked
around and tried the back door, but
hearing someone leaving by the front
door, he rushed around, saw a man
and shot at him. He was confused
as to what happened after that"

Deputy Jack Clifford, the next and
last witness, testified that Miller had
told him practically the same story
while the two had walked over to a
neighbours, Mrs. Baker, to get her to
stay with Mrs. Miller and the chill
dren Sunday night. Attorney Vance
had asked Sheriff McCorkle if Miller
had said anything to him as to
whether the house was lighted or
dark and McCorkle had answered in
the negative, but Clifford testified that
Miller told him the blinds were
drawn to the windows and that he
thought there was no light in the
house, except in the bedroom.
With the conclusion of Gifford's
testimony the state rested its case
and the defendant, offering no testi-
mony, was formally arraigned and
bound over. His trial will be held
some time in June.

NATIONAL PAY-U9 WEEK
Such an Event is Timely, as there are
Few People Who do not Owe Debts
To Some 0ne-FeW Who Could not
Pay ii They Would.

What promises to become an annual
national event has been inaugurated
at 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 it 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
conveniencing the debtor, and if 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.
While credit is a great thing, it at
the same time becomes tax when
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 dead-beat 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 town Of Waukon,
Iowa, a 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 beauti-
full little city, and busy business CEN
ter, 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 goods for which they dover
paid, until the week of January is,
1915, the principal Of the high school,
who happened to be secretary of the
Commercial Club, suggested that it
would be a good thing for Waukon to
have a day Of reckoning, or rathf d
week of reckoning. The idea . =
ed to the business n ~ IN,
more particularly t. ~ ANTS
who had considers. y III ont
standing accounts. Of wee.. Vi
Jan. els was advert 5edSas 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
business houses.

Milford chronicle., 1915-12-10

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 populo-
tion to lift a debt of $4,000 in one
weeks time, and especially when part
of the debt is so old that 1t 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-
ely town of any consequence in the
entire country, told its readers of the
success of the Waukon people in pay
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.
Our credit is national in its scope.
The manufacturer extends credit to
the jobber, the jobber carries the re-
tail merchant, the merchant in turn
extends credit to his customers, and,
therefore, every business interest
should be interested in a National
Pay-Up Week. If local people in towns
would make it a point to pay the
doctor. the preacher, the grocer and
all other merchants, and the merchant
made it a point to pay the wholesaler
and the jobber, and the wholesaler to
nay the manufacturer during this
week, February 2126, there would be
more dollars put in circulation in this
country than were ever started NOV
ing during the same length OF time.
A good slogan to be used from now
till National Pay-Up Week would be,
you pay your bills-I will pay mine,
February 1926"
