MERCHANTS CON-
GRATULATE us
Upon Article Uurging the People to
Promptly Settle Their January
Accounts.

Last week we had an article urg-
ing the people to promptly settle
with the merchants and quite a
number have called our Office and
congratulated us upon the article.
We were struck with the following
editorial from the Lexington Lead
er, of last Saturday, which we re-
produce:
Pay-Up idea Becoming Widely
Popular.
About year ago The Leader
started a local campaign to induce
people to pay their January bills
early, and with good results.
The merchants said their collec-
tons we're better than they had ever
known them to be so early in the
year. 1t was found that much Of
the delay in settling January and
July bills was not due so much to
the inability to pay as it was to the
tendency Of many debtors to neglect
their duty to those who had accom-
modated them during the year.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
has been making survey Of the
'pay-up" movement throughout the
country and makes the following
observations
"The Business Mems Association
of Flushing, N. Y, is working on a
plan to make the first seven days in
February 'pay-up week for the
community. Not only new debts,
but those of long standing, SO long
that some of them are 'outlawed,'
are to the objects of the campaign.
"The first step in this movement
was the issuing by the association
of circulars setting forth the details
of the plan. And these circulars
were capped with this sentence in
large red letters that refused to be
overlooked:
"Man is dust, and dust settles.
Be a man.
'Under this in less glaring type
followed: 'Pay-up week-Feb. 1 to
7. Live and let hve.'
"The campaigners are making
direct appeal to conscience and the
innate sense Of honesty, A man
who has enjoyed benefit and has
not paid the legitimate and agreed
price is a defaulter to both his own
better nature and to his obligation
of honesty. This pay-up week is a
call to his memory and a summons
to his conscience.
'Last year Flushing tried a sim
liar plan of settlement, but unfor-
tunately got embroiled in a lawsuit
with a man whose hame was put
down in list of delinquents.
Whether the man owed debt, or
whether he sued because there was
no law to legalize the publishing of
his name is not stated. But the
suit broke up the operators of the
association. This wear. however;
no such blunder will be committed,
for the committee is on its guard,
and the whole business association
is hoping, with great enthusiasm,
for a complete success.
"Other towns in the same state
and several in New Jersey are
watching the result in Flushing with
the purpose of adopting it if it is
successful. Lexington, KY, has
asked for a copy Of all plans and
specifications.
"To punctiIous people it seems
strange that men and women should
need reminder to pay just debt.
They do not understand the mental
or moral condition that allows a
person to put off paying for some
thing that has been acquired on a
credit--a trust to their honesty and
genhiity by the yender- But there
are many people who are acciden-
tally forgstful of such obligations;

6 1,1OO-pound bulls at 51a cents,
and 2 1,0OO-pound cows at 5%

Harry Adams sold s 6OO-pound
heifers to Hiram Long, of Clark
county, at 8 cents.

Sam Keeton sold % 50O-pound

Everett Wilson sold bunch Of
65O-pound heifers to VIM. Whaley

MULES
About $50 mules were on the
market and they were booming. We
have not seen as much stir in the
trade for months. A buyer from
South Carolina bought 2 cars at
from $3.50 to 5000. He bought "a
head from Greenwade & Razor at
$50 to $1S5. They also sold to
Thompson & Co., of Lexington, a
pair Of 1,4OO pound mare mules at
1925. Another pair was sold to
a Paris buyer at $465. 1t was un-
usual to see good pairs selling at
$400 and higher Some army horses
were sold at 800 to $40.

RURAL CREDITS: An epoch-mak-
ing legislative measure which will re-
lieve the farmer of the incubus of the
short-time loan at extortionate inter-
est. This measure alone, when in
full force, will save the farmers of the
United States one hundred and fifty
million dollars annually in interest
charges.
GOOD ROADS: Seventy-five mil

| development of roads from the farm

will prevent wasteful use of the money.
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION:
The passage of the Smith-Lever Act
brings to every American farm,

the business problems Of the farmer.

GRAIN STANDARDS: A law en-
acted last August authorizes the Sec

working. The farmer who has been
robbed through juggIed grain grades
for years will appreciate its value.
CROP MOVING: The surplus funds

placed directly in the banks Of the
South and West to aid in moving crops
during the customary season of money

Federal Employment Bureau
But One of Many Achieve
ments of the Wilson
Administration.
MONEY FOR CROP MOVING
Rural Credits, Federal Reserve Act,
Good Roads, Grain Standards
and Many Other
Benefits.
BY FRANK g. ODELL.
Editor Of the Nebraska Farm Magazine

Do you know that your post office
is now an employment bureau? That
is one of the new things Uncle Sam
has started during the present Adj
ministratiOn. Secretary Wilson Of the
Department of Labor has tackled the
task of bringing the jobless man and
the manless job together, and now
every post office is an agency Of the
United States employment service.
The postmaster is equipped with
blanks for listing applications for la
Dor or for employment and Is instruct
ed to help get the worker and the job
in contact.
While this might appear to be prin-
cipally in the interest of the worker,
1T Is really one Of the numerous far
reaching things started for the bene-
tit Of the farmer by the Administered
ton Of President Wilson. The increas-
ing scarcity of farm labor has become
a problem to the farmer, especially
in the wheat-growing and fruit-grow-
ing sections. This labor, which is of
seasonal character, necessarily must
be performed largely by itinerant
workers. Some agency which will
meet this demand and relieve the la
borer Of the graft of employment
agencies is necessary. Uncle Sam has
started it.
A single illustration will show how
the system works; in the Willamette
Valley of Oregon thousands Of tenn
porary workers are needed in hop
picking time. On August 20 the Ore
Il On Journal Of Portland printed a
news article about the new govern
ment employment agency, stating
that six hundred families could OBJ
tain immediate employment in the
hop yards by applying at the Portland
division Of the Federal employment
service.
This is another item added to the
mass of accommodating evidence which
shows that the Wilson Administration
has tried to give both labor and the
farmer square deal. For the first
time in history, this Administration
has placed the needs Of rural districts
squareIy before Congress as Of equal
importance with the interests Of finan.
claI centers.
And why not? Financial centers
would not amount to much without the
nine-billion-dollar crop Of the Ameri-
can farmer. But the interests of the
farmer have not always been so promi-
nently and favorably considered by
Congress as they have during the past
three years. The record of Democrat
ic claims for farmer support is rec
ord of accomplishment. 1t reads like
this in the passage Of laws and admin
,istrative acts:
What Has Been Done for the Farmer.
fFT1RRI1NCYa REFORM: The Fed.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1916-10-27

Editor does not care to use his col
umns for discussion of economic ques-
tons and government policies that
vitality affect the interest of the farmer.
Mr.. Lubin said: "In the applica-
ton of business methods Of distribu--
ton, America, until the present Adj
ministration, was about $50 years be-
hind Germany and several decades be-
hind the rest of Europe. And yet in
the very thing in which America is
backward, she should lead the world.
She does not, because a clique of spe-
cial interests dictated public opinion
and controlled legislation through the
bosses of the Republican party. So
cleverly have they worked that the
average man is hypnotized, his criti-
cal faculties dulled
president Wilson is neither fooled,
less, patient, far-seeing. He has al
historic sense of the past, a sympa-I
thetic sense of the present and o.
prophetically spiritual sense of the fu-
ture. While his head is above the
clouds, his feet are always upon the
earth. He is idealjstic on the one
side, on the other practical. He is
