At this meeting further discussion

any one wishes to ask will be an
swered The rating information
blanks will be distributed to members
OF this meeting. These blanks will
call for the following information on
the party who is rated: Name, ad-

whether same is past due, the mer-
chants opinion as to the integrity of
party rated, whether party rated
meets installment payments, whether
he is financially good or prompt pay
or safe to credit but slow pay, or pays
but risky limited, or demand cash.
Each member of the association will
be pledged to give a complete rating
upon each Of his credit customers

bad. Each member of the association
will be recognized only by secret code
by the ecretary-manager and his as
sistants, and the information given by
each member is treated strictly conf
Dental insofar as the members name
is concerned
For the information of the people
at large, let it be understood that a
credit association is not formed to do
any one harm. 1t promotes nothing
but what is absolutely fair and just
to all. Should any differences arise
between the debtor and the creditor,
the secretary-manage will be glad TO
assist in bringing about a thorough
understanding and settlement of same,
the motto Equity and justice to all
and special privilege to none" best

Credit Association have pledged their
confidential treatment of all informa-
ton and that no one not so pledged
will be given any information con-
corning any one. 1t should be fur
Their Understood that this is strictly a
business proposition and plays no ia
vorites; a persons rating will be
just exactly as the experience of the
business man designated; what is
black will be black and what is white
will be white
The public service companies and
several of the banks have already
promised TO cooperate with the Cred
il Association with view of making
the association a great success. No

Treatment Of Walla.

II molding is liked from which to
hang the pictures that do so much to
make our rooms homelike, the best
height for the molding is in line with
the top of the doors. The modern idea
seems to be to bring the window wood
work to the floor by using a paneling
beneath the sill, and to carry the tops
OF doors and windows to a fixed line
the molding line. Thus the walls are
divided into rectangular spaces, and
the decorative effect Of a good paper
Is enhanced. A plain paper has the
dignity of a panel when so used.

THE LA5oRER's HIRE
(By Herbert Kaufman)

The man whose first thought is to
make his dollar-mark in life seldom
has any others. Money is secondary
consideration In big careers. But be-
cause deep thinkers can find no in
terest in projects of limited scope and
utility the benefits they bring to pass
frequently result in enormous person
al advantage.
No far-reaching idea ever sprang
from mere desire for riches. The
ambitious of avarice are too low for
fortune and distinction.
Pioneers. experimenteps and inven-
tors are more or less idealists. A
scheme without a dream behind it
HASN'T much before it.
Imagination is not a cash register
but it conceives them.
Huntington and Hearst visualized
farms in the wilderness, goves on
the desert and cities upon the prairies.
They gave before they got.
Rockefeller's pipe lines reduced the
cost of oil for countless millions and
so produced flock for himself.
Edison saw great light afar and
followed it into the very jungle to
solve it's secret.
Old Aston hurled his confidence
four thousand miles and set it to
building trading posts along the Ore
gon.
Anybody who has added to the
worlds efficiency is welcome to a
share of his findings and foundings.
Men who never take the pounds and
pence out of their eyes can't see the
great profit in service.

Visiting other societies is a very
popular fellowship plan this summer.
1t would be good one for all the
year, only in winter folks seem to be
too busy at home for cultivating the
exchange plan often. Recently the
DeLand Endeavorers, of East Central
district, visited Orlando Presbyterians.
And the latter enjoyed it so much
that they began right away planning
to go down to Sanford and see how
they were getting along.
