HARMONY IN
NEVADA DEMOCRACY.

The meeting of the Democratic State
Central Committee last Saturday even
ing presages success for Democracy
in III: State of Nevada.
Notwithstanding the attempts that
have been made to spread the report
that there was detention in the party
fold, there was no evidence of it on
hand at the convention.
The recognized leaders of the party
were in attendance and also the lead.
ers of the so-called factions. While
there may be honest disagreement as
to some candidates, and methods of
procedure on some measures, 1t is OF
that nature that ii brings out 10 the
fullest extent the arguments that will
tend to the good of the party.
Firmly entrenched behind Wilson
and his administration. the Democratic
party will march shoulder TO shoulder
to the polls and will cast their ballots
as unit for their party candidates.
Whatever of differences there is will
be settled at the primaries. And we
might here state that there is no ami
mostly existing in the party. The diff
ferences are, rather. as to the choice
of candidates. Some favor one, some
another. The ones that are success
full at the State convention, will find
behind them a united force of party
voters that are in the campaign to
carry their candidates through the
battle of votes to the offices they are
seeking.-Sparks Tribune.

Be able to look the whole world in the

At least to make a settlement Other
motives were appealed to among
which was, you expect to pay some
time. why not now and perhaps win
a prize"
The window advertising was in the
form OF large cards calling particular
attention to the $4,000 in prize money
to be paid during the week to those
paying their accounts. On the first
day of the pay up week we were very
careful to have all merchants, etc.
I settle with one another. The first
move was to get the pace and when
| farmers and mechanics saw a general
movement among the merchants to
settle with one another. they realized
| that the movement was undertaken as
a settlement day and not a means OF
inveigling the poor farmer into some
scheme.
On payment of an account in full.
the customer was given a ticket which
was made in duplicate so that each
merchant held a duplicate of all tick.
cts given out. This ticket was the
chance on the prize money. At the
close of the week drawing was held
and the lucky individuals were mailed
checks with the thanks and apprecia.
ton of the Commercial Club.
The week netted over $4,000 to the
merchants Immediately concerned and
many others paid as a matter of senti-
ment that we could get no clue of. II
was a success because the merchants
took hold of the matter earnestly and
followed up the plan. Those that did
not, got small and slow returns. That
our appeal was correctly directed was
evidenced by the number OF men from
long distances that would come to
town. go to the bank and draw out a
large aniybt. go from merchant TO
merchant to settle and then straighten
up and say as l heard one of them,
There, l don't owe dam'd person
in the world" The tickets are a
great help and the worst offenders do
the most good. Some man will have
whole handful of tickets and exhibit
then proudly, saying that the big
money is coming to him and remarks
of the same kind.

ORIGINATOR OF "PAY.UP.
WEEK" DESCRIBES PLAN

WAUKON, Iowa, Feb. 23.-"Pay-Up-
Week" which started in this town last
year is now being taken up enthusiast
tically by cities throughout the coun-
try. So many inquiries come to
Charles F.. Pye, Secretary of the Com
mercial Club and a prime mover in
the first "Pay.Up-Week" ever known
that he has written form letter de-
scribing the plan. In part. It is as
follows:
BY CHARLES r. PYE.
Pap-Up-Week as we carried IL on
was planned with two ideas mainly in
view-1st to remedy a bad case of
credit accounts. End, to assist in
building up community habit of an
nual settlement. Incidentally il caused
merchants and others to sec the value
Of community organization in such
work.
The method OF procedure was very
simple. The first move was to enlist
the merchants themselves. II they are
not dead in earnest any effort will
fall flat. Having secured their coop.
Grafton the next step was = census of
the book accounts. The secretary of
the club went to each merchant and
asked him for the number of book &C.
counts being carried. Based upon these
figures We had little slip printed
which was TO be enclosed with the
statement of account TO each custom

Commercial organization from becom.

The next move was an appeal
through the newspapers to all debtors
TO settle. In order to keep II on az
high plane as possible little was said
about the price feature of the week.
The appeal was to honesty ard square

sible for high prices, and to some ex.
tent for the differences In price be.

merchant. 1t is unfair to growl about
high prices when you owe every man
