Talks on Thrift
Pay-Up Week

Waukon, little town of two thou
sand people in Iowa, with the usual
quota of churches, schools, business
houses. and banks, made the discov-
cry, year or so ago, that the mer-
chants of the town had on their
books about $4,000 of unpaid bills,
and so set apart a week last January
as "pay-up week." when the debtors
were asked, as a matter of duty and
of civic pride and good business eth
les, to settle up. The chamber of
commerce took the campaign i'm hand
and the results were so satisfactory
that the event is scheduled again for
next January, it is hoped with even
greater success.
Those who are unacquainted with

counts can be utilized often leads

debts that prove burdensome il not
disastrous.

pay, pay for those who do not pay.

Clarksville.-The Welch Manufac-
turing company last week finished for
the Sage-Allen company, inc, Of
Hartford, Conn, an order which was
the most elaborate in design and
manufacture of any order ever fur
nished by this company. The order
was furnished in solid mahogany
throughout, the finish being dark
tuna mahogany and French grey for
the interior Of the dressing and fit
ting rooms. The special feature will
be the French room which the Sage
Allen company will use exclusively
for their aristocratic trade. This
room, when set up, will be 36x22 feet
and will be fitted with ground glass
canopy top. The entrance, which is
IL feet wide, contains two double
doors of special design, and outside
Of the large mahogany columns were
two sunken French sash which with
the doors included eighty-four lights
of bevel Clipped glass. 1t was evident
from the appearance of this piece of
furniture that every workman in ev-
cry department through which this
passed had done his very best to make
this the most beautiful piece of work
ever turned out at the factory.

town Of two thousand there are out
standing $4,000 of unpaid bills, what
must it amount to in larger places?
Even il the larger part of the out
standing debts are eventually paid,
the merchant cannot use his book ac-
counts to purchase goods. He must
pay his bills as he expects his GUS
toners TO pay theirs.
Our whole business structure rests
upon the retailer. If he pays prompt
ly. the iobber can pay promptly, and
likewise the manufacturer. If the
retailer is backward, extends credit
unwisely. paws slowly or not at all,
the whole business structure suffers.
Only as the consumer pays his bills
can the retailer pay his.
We have had lot of observances
introduced during the past ten years.
We have Flag Day. Mothers Day,
Apple Day, Thrift Day, Cleanup
Day. Rose Day, Candy Day, Gas
Week and a host of others, all of
which are worthy. Some of these
DAYS Law particular stress for the flu
ture. but few have in them the pos
sibilities of constructive and benefi-
cial results as will follow an annual
pay-up day, when bills are settled in
full.
The Chinese have a custom of cele-
brating the advent of New Years,
either by paying off old debts, or, if
they are creditors and the debtor is
unable to pay, then by cancelling the
debt. Thus the new year begins
with clean slate. Communities
are all alike in many respects and
the problem of Waukon is the prob
lem of thousand others. We have
too many unpaid accounts on our
books. Why not profit by the Wau-
kon idea, and have pay-up week the
country over, when the slate shall be
wiped clean and the new year started
free of debt?

A Serious Condition

st. Louis.-The water condition in
st. Louis is likely to become serious
and Mayor Mey, has issued the fol-
lowing order: All who read the
daily papers know something Of the
coal situation and know that every
city is suffering more or less from the
shortage. Until now there has been
plenty of water for all power pur-
poses, but the steady cold weather
has locked up all supply sources and
the water in the river is very low.
On Tuesday the use of coal was
begun and the supply is limited. With
the great scarcity-almost impossible
to obtain any, in some cases-it will
be very advisable to economic in ev-
cry way in the use Of light and wa
ter until such time as the situation
is relieved, so as not to place the city
in position to be at the mercy of a
fire.
Get your kerosene lamps out and
have them ready for use in case Of
emergency and remember that at
HOO o'clock this evening the cur
rent will be shut off, until 4:30 in the
morning, and will continue the same
each night until conditions change.

experience there evidently did not

served two years at Ionia and five
years at Jackson, and from the pres

little house across the road from the

Lentz Table factory. Friday morn
ing he went around to the Office with
a hat on his head and another in his
hand and asked for job. When the
manager tried to convince him that
he already had one he became quite
violent and brandished both hats. An
officer was called and he was brought
to this city and found insane and sent
to the hospital at Kalamazoo for
treatment. He is about twenty-five
years of age.

Has Been Successful

Clarksville.--The many friends of
Byron Goodsell, who moved to Lake

the hardware business after having
started in the vocation here, will be
glad to learn of his further advance
ment on the ladder Of success. His
latest move makes him sole proprie-
tor of the Goodsell Hardware store in
Lake Odessa. A Lake Odessa exchange
has the following to say Of Mr.. Good
sell: "The new year brings at least
one change in the personnel of the
local business firms. Thursday Of this
week, it was announced that Byron
Goodsell, junior partner in the firm
Of Goodsell & Elliott, had purchased
the interests of his associate, Wilson
Elliott, and had become sole proprie-
tor of the firm. Byron is pretty well
known to local folks, having been in
the hardware business in one way or
another for a number Of years. Ev-
erybody knows his as capable work
man and square upright business
man; and we wish him success in his
latest venture"
