TALKS ON THRIFT
YOU AND YOUR CREDIT

r cry man should be jealous of two
things: his good name and his cred
- it. A good name helps his credit
and good credit helps good name. He
should value his reputation as his choic-
est possession, and he should guard his
credit equally as WE'LL if not better than
he guards his money. He can protect his
good name by keeping good company,
avoiding questionable places and bad hab-
it's in general. His name is what he chooses
to make it. He can build up and protect
his credit by one course borrowing and
paying as he agrees-buying on time and
paying on time.
The greatest force in the business world
is credit-the power to borrow; to get
trusted; to obtain the property of another
to use as our own on mere promise to
pay Credit" says Webster, "has done
more thousand times to enrich the ma
tions than all the mines in the wo1 Id. !"
Credit spans rivers, opens mines, builds
railroads, moves commerce and wages war.
Our whole business structure rests upon
it. For every extension of credit there
must be debt and there can be no credit
where there is no debt
Debt is not dishonorable; the abuse of
credit is. The man who runs in debt is
not business offcast, but sensible man
provided he uses his credit right There
are some forms of debt to be encouraged
there are others to be avoided To buy a
house with a mortgage on it is commend
able; but to buy an automobile from the
proceeds of a mortgage on your house
ought to be disgrace. To run grocery
bill is no crime; to fail to pay as you agree
ought to be. To furnish your house on
the installment plan may be the best thing
you ever did-some people could not have
a home any other way; but to buy clothes
on dollar week installment plan is fnan-
cial suicide
Strange as it may seem, those who have
operated on the ay-as-you-go-or-don 't-go-
plan find it difficult when they must ask
for credit. The trouble is, they have done
nothing to establish their credit. This is
particularly true in large cities where ones
habits are not well known, but in small
places a reputation as a cash customer
soon gets to be common property. At any
rate it is good plan to deal on credit for
the sake of the time when you may need
accommodation.
One of the best known public account
ants in New York states that early in life
he saw the time coming when he would
need to borrow, and concluded to establish
his credit beforehand. He knew that if he
borrowed and paid promptly, he would

READING NOTICES
FIGURE THE COST

\ MEXICAN farmers have begun tC
II figure the matter of roads little
4 differently than in former years
When the good-roads movement was in it's
infancy, they used to ask themselves, "How
much will good roads cost me-" Thanks
to the intelligent propaganda Of daily and
country papers, as we'll as other agencies,
farmers are now asking themselves, How
much are bad-roads costing me?'
According to government experts, the
cost of hauling a ton Of farm produce a
mile varies from seventeen cents, in local
tiles where fairly hard gravel roads exist,
to thirty-fve cents per ton in parts of the
country where the roads are in bad con-
dition. On the other hand, in those Euro
pean countries where hard roads prevail,
the cost is as low as nine cents per ton
per mile. The Department of Agriculture
has estimated that the total haulage ex-
approximately S500,O0O,O0O. And every
dollar comes from the farmers pocket, for
he is the one great producer who cannot
add the haulage expense to his wares, for
the prices he gets are on delivery basis.
If every farmer would take pencil and
paper; figure the amount in tons Of the
produce and stock he markets in year;
multiply it by the number of miles he must
haul it to market; multiply the total by
twenty-five which is about the average
haulage cost per ton per mile, and then
consider that he could save nearly half
of this amount every year if he had an
improved road all the way to his Market
he would become an earnest good roads
worker.-Current Events.

Notices were received by the Leader this
week from the wholesale paper houses to
the effect that all prices on paper stock
had been withdrawn and that all orders
received pending the issuing of new price
lists would be filled at advanced prices

and coloring materials. While we have
not yet made any advance in the prices
of printed matter we will be compelled to

Stewart Edward White writes as fol-
lows to his Congressman in letter dealing
with the great issues before the law-mak
ing American body now in session. "Only
occasionally does Public Opinion become
strong and practically unanimous. It is
so now It is more voiceless than usual
because it is very deep, and when we
Americans feel and think deeply we do not
talk about it. We wait grimly to see what
will happen This is pity, but it is large
ly your fault We have lost confidence in
you. We believe you will talk, and wrangle
and stray into side issues; that you will
filibuster and waste time, and finally at
the very last will rush through some sort
of an unsatisfactory compromise. That
is your usual method"
These are frank words and might we'll
be written by any United Statesman to
his representative in the national body
Mr.. White concludes his letter with an
other statement, equally frank and
straight forward;

paredness against war. We know that un-
less we can defend ourselves we are
temptation to attack. It is up to you; and
