pAY-UP WEEK

Waukon, little town of two
thousand people in Iowa, with
the usual quota of churches, busi-
ness houses, schools and banks,
made the discovery, year or so
ago, that the merchants 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 busi-
ness ethics, to settle up. The
chamber of commerce took the
campaign In hand and the results
were SO satisfactory that the
event is scheduled again for next
January, it is hoped with even
greater success.

The Chinese have a custom of
celebrating the advent of New
Years, either by paying off old
debt, or, if they are creditors
and the debtor is unable to pay,
then by cancelling the debt.
Thus the new year begins with a
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 Waukon idea, and have a
pay-up week the country over,
when the slate shall be wiped
clean and the new year started
free of debt?

The birds which remain with
us in the winter are always in
imminent danger Of starvation
during periods of deep snow and
low temperature. Many birds
live on food obtained from the
ground-others from weed tops
and plants that are covered by
deep snow. Much can be done
to supply the birds with food
and many bird lives can be saved
by a little care and attention at
this time.
Feeding stations should be es-
tablished near residences for
such winter birds as the downy
and hairy woodpeckers, chicha-
dees, nuthatches, brown creepers,
evening grosbeaks and other
winter residents or visitants.
Suet, seeds Of various kinds,
ground meat scraps, ETC., placed
in artificial feeding stations, or
in any suitable place, will at
tract the birds in large numbers.
Suet, may be fastened to branch
es of trees, grain may be scatter
ed on straw or litter in sheltered
places which may be protected
by boughs to prevent covering
with snow.
| Prairie chickens gladly accept
corn and sheaf grain when their
natural feeding places are buried
in snow.

densome if not disastrous.
1t is we'll known that those
who pay, pay for those who do
not pay. The merchant must
make his profit or fail, and his
profit must be sufficient to offset
the bad debts that necessarily
accrue in the course of every
business. And if in a little town
of two thousand there are out
standing $4,000 of unpaid bills,
what must it amount to in larger
places? Even If the larger part
of the outstanding debts are
eventually paid, the merchant
cannot use his book accounts to
purchase goods. He must pay
his bills as he expects his custo-
mers to pay theirs.
Our whole business structure
rests upon the retailer. If he
pays promptly, the jobber can
pay promptly, and likewise the
manufacturer. If the retailer is
backward, extends credit unwise-
ly, pays slowly or not at all, the
whole business structure suffers.
Only as the consumer pays his
bills can the retailer pay his.

vances introduced during the

PORTLAND, Feb. 21.--A loss to
the government of $162, 3s6 in timber,
forage and young growth was caused
by fires on the national forests in

by the forest service. OF this loss
| S35, 900 occurred in oregon, Wash
ington and Alaska Although there
was more than the average number
of fires. the Loss is the smallest that
has been sustained from fires since
the national forests were established.
A favorable season in the regions
where the most severe damage is usu-
ally sustained is given as the chief
reason for the relatively small loss.
/. A total OF 29s.S77 acres of govern
ment land was burned over. In ad-
ditIon TO this, the fires covered 1873.

There was a slight increase in the

HIGH PRICES KILLING Off HOGS

PORTLAND. Feb. ga note OF
warning was sounded during the day
by william II. Daughtrey. president
Of the Portland Union stockyards. re-
garding the selling OF breeding hogs.
There is even more danger to the
hog industry at the extreme high
price now in effect" says Mr.. Daugh-
trey, than in lower prices. This Is
due TO the fact that hog raisers can
secure so much money for even Their
breeding sows that they are inclined
TO sell everything in sight. Such a
thing would be a calamity to the hog
Industry, and the raisers themselves
would be the losers.
1t Is a very serious situation and
hog raisers should by all means re-
tam their~breeding stock"
Hog Market Strong.
Market for hogs continues strong
at North Portland. The best stuff
available here during the day sold at
S12.4O, but on the basis OF heavy
packing stock of quality, the market
would still be around $3.50, the ex-
treme price secured on Monday. In
fact. with all outside markets firmer
and Chicago showing the highest
price for swine since the civil War,
when saies were made during the daH
at SI2.q5, the local situation should
be aided thereby.
