AT|0NAL PAY-UP WEEK WILL , s0QN DESCEND UPON THIS C|TY

National Pay-Up Week. with all it's beauties and advantages will soon descend upon Phoenix. Many mercan- tile and business houses have place, posters and signs in the windows in forming the public that from Febru- ary 21st to the 26th, everyone is eX- pected to pay their bills.
 Credit is one of the great assets of our present-daY system of busi- ness, but like many another good things. it is sometimes abused and overdore; and because so many people are careless about paying their ac- counts. there are millions upon mill lions of dollars in outstanding ac- counts in this country today that could he paid without inconveniencing the debtor. If all these millions of dollars were put into circulation dur ing one week, there would be the greatest week of prosperity ever known in this country
 While credit is a great thing, it at the same time becomes a tax when abused. The man who does not pay his debts pays a penalty or tax every time he buys dollar $ worth of merchandise; but not only must he pay this tax, but the man who pays his debts is compelled to bear his share of thia unjust taxa tax collected in increased price on the commodities of life occasioned by the failure of the debtor to pay his bills
 It 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 it's be

 Mr. Campbell reports that despite the fact that the winter just past has been rather d hard one on the stock in laV9pai county things are looking pretty good for the cowmen uf the section. A brisk demand for steers has put new life into the in dustry there. While there is some thing of d drcp in valuations at the present time, the fact that the de nand is good offsets the sag in prices
 Mining matters are in prosperous condition, according to Campbell, the demand right now is for ore ready for shipment rather than for proper ties which can be worked in the future.
