WILSON CABINET: <. LIKELY REMAIN
 ALMOST INTACT
Excepting Possibly MT. Gregory, All Members Ex-
 pected to Remain.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Every mem-
 Der of Preside1t Wilson's cabinet, with the possibility of Attorney-G Gen eral Gregory, is expected to remain in office after March 4, when the presidents second term begins. It was learned today that all of them have been asked, or will be asked, to retain their posts.
 Secretary McAdoo, Secretary Hous- ton, Secretary Baker and Attorney General Gregory. It has been taken for granted that Postmaster General Burleson and Secretaries Daniels and Wilson would remain, and an indefi nite rumor that Secretary Redfield would resign, was denied some time ago.
 Secretary McAdoo has personally denied that he had any intention Of resigning Regarding Mir. Houston, it is stated that officials of the Uni-
 versity of St. Louis have extended his leave of absence as chancellor of that institution, so that he can continue as head of the agricultural depart
 ment. Because of the investigation into the high cost of living under Secretary Houston, the president is known to consider his continued ser vice in the cabinet as highly desir- able. Although Secretary Baker has been credited with the desire to leave the cabinet, it is! understood he may be shifted to the department of justice if Attorney General Gregory should resign, and that Vance Me- Cormick will be placed in charge of the war department.
 In the reports of the intention of the attorney general to resign there have been circumstances tending to
 confirm the matter, and the report has been generally accepted as true, although he has given no positive statement. The president has of fered MT. Gregory seat on the su- .preme court bench once, and should another vacancy occur during the administration, it is thought probable he will be seriously considered for the place again.
 Washington, Dec. 12.--Attorney- General Gregory has no intention of resigning, it was said authoritatively today.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
PAY-UP WEEK.

Waukon, little town of two thou sand people in Iowa, with the usual quota of churches, schools, business houses and banks, made the discovery year or so ago, that the merchants of the town had on their books about S50,000 of unpaid bills, and so set apart week last January as "pay-up week." when the debtors were asked, as a matter of duty and of civic pride and good business ethics, to settle up, The chamber of commerce took the campaign in hand and the results were so satisfactory that the event is scheduled again for next January, ii is hoped with even greater success.
 Those who are unacquainted with the ways of business little realize how much debt exists in every conn munity in the form of book accounts, carried along from month to month, tied in full. 1t/is so handy to shop with a book and to use the telephone, that the ease with which charge ac- counts can be utilized often leads to |overbuying and the creation of debts that prove burdensome if not disast- rous.
 It is we'll known that those who pay pay for those who do not pay. The merchant must make his profit ol fail, and this profit must be sufficient to offset the bad debts that necessar- fly accrue in the course of every busi- ness. And if in a little town of two thousand there are outstanding $50, ,O00 of unpaid bills, what must it amount to in larger places? Even if the larger part of the outstanding debts are eventually paid, the merchant can not use his book accounts to purchase goods. He must pay his bills as he expects his customers to pay theirs Our whole business structure rests upon the retailer. If he pays prompt. ly, the jobber can pay promptly, and likewise the manufacturer. If the re. taller is backward, extends credit un- f.wisely, pays slowly or not at all, the whole business structure suffers. Only as the consumer pays his bills can the retailer pay his.
 We have had a lot of observances introduced during the past ten years We have Flag Day, Mothers Day Apple Day, Thrift Day, Cleanup Day
 Rose Day, Candy Day, Gas Week anC a host of others, all of which arc worthy. Some of these days lay par. ticular stress upon waste and saving and preparation for the future, but few have in them the possibilities fol constructive and beneficial results as will follow an annual pay-up day
 when bills are settled in full. '. The Chinese have custom of cele.
 brating the advent of New Years either by paying off old debts, or, il

LIFE INSURANCE IN ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Dec. 12.-As an evi- dence of the tremendous volume of life insurance business in Arkansas, atten- tion is called to the fact, as shown by the annual report of the state insur- ance commissioner, that there was in total of $133, ,727, ,704.26 insurance in the legal reserve companies, of which there are 56 doing business in the state. At the same time the frater- nal beneficiary societies were carry ing total in force of $132,110,388.8S, making an aggregate of $265 ,83S ,093.- IA, or more than a quarter of 9 bil- lion dollars in life insurance carried by the people of Arkansas.
