PAY UP NOW


This is pay up week, all over the
country.
National Pay-Up Week has become
an institution that should live.
The object is to get people to pay
up those old outstanding debts that
have been misfiring for SO long.
1t gives the business man a chance
to clean up the old ledger, and open
a new one, if he sees fit to keep a
ledger.
When you figure on it a little,
there are few people who would be
unable to pay their accounts, if 9TH
ers paid them. Then this is a fine
time for all to get together and pay
up, for once during the year. 1t will
not mean much money out of the
average mans pockets, for when the
spirit of pay-up spreads. some man
who has been owing you a long time
will likely pay up his bill.
Therefore, make special effort to

1t has been stated-on what au-
thority we do not know-that Editor
Callahan, of the Fort Myers Press,
sold his paper because his religion
was not approved of by "the best
people" of Fort Myers. If this is
true-if "the best people" of any
community are so narrow minded
and bigoted that they would allow
any mans religion, no matter what
1t might be, to make any difference
then God help that community!
The quicker all Christians and de-
cent people get out of such a place
and leave it to "the best people" the
better. We cannot believe such a
Islander on the beautiful city of Fort
Myers, and have no doubt that Mr..
Callahan sold simply because he got
his price. We do not know what
his religion is, because. like every
real newspaper man, he never al
lowed sectarianism, or any attack on
any church, to appear in his paper;
but, If he had any religion at all, it
was far better than that of any
Pharisee who would deny him the
right to it.

KILLED AT OATMAN.

J. A; Lilies, for many years a resi-. dent of the Warren District during which time he helped sink the War ren shaft, was killed in one of the Oat- man mines several days ago. This word was received in Bisbee yester- day. Lies was better known as Abe and had a large acquaintance in this part of the state. Mike was with his brother when the accident took place. He lost the sight of his right eye and may lose the other eye. He was taken to Los Angeles for treatment. The accident occurred when the two men, operating a machine in the United Eastern, drilled into a missed hole.
