NATIONALPAY-UP
FEBRUARY 1924
Third Year for National Pay-up Week.
When People Pay Their Bills
All Will be Happy.

February 10 to "a has been desig-
mated as pay-up week throughout the
United States. It has worked success
fully in other states and can be sue
cessfully worked and carried out in
River Falls.
The month of February is time of
settlement in full for all obligations
contracted of either short or long
standing.
The Journal desires to call attention
to the following article that appeared
in recent issue of the Winona In
dependent, and suggests that its pro-
visions. be inaugerated in River Falls.
winfield, Ia, furnishes an illumin
ating illustration Of what happens
when a citizen pays a debt. The citi-
zen probably looks upon that painful
act as an isolated transaction which
concerns only him and his creditor.
But he's wrong. It's link in great
chain of social benefaction. Here's
the proof:
Winfield has an annual institution
known as 'Pay-up-week," inauguarted
couple of years ago. During that
week every citizen is expected to make
special effort to pay his debts. 1t
has been recognized in Winfield that
such general loosening up of cur
rency is good for everybody-that
when a few people begin paying their
debts it becomes suddenly easier for
other people to pay their debts. But
nobody knew exactly how it worked.
And so Winfield merchant under
took to find out.
Monday morning he paid debt with
a SIS bill. Attached to that bill was a
memorandum asking every other per-
son who used it in wiping out an obi
cation to make note of the transact
ion. At the end of the week it was
found that SO persons had received the
bill in payment of a debt.
One S. note had discharged, in six
days, 1920 in indebtedness. And in the
course of its adventures, that note had
twice returned to the man who started
it on it's journey. His act of launching
it on it's debt-paying career had enabl
ed two of his own debtors to pay him.
That's the way it always works.
Most people are solvent-other peo-
pie owe them as much as they owe
other people. But they can't get what
is coming to them, and so they can't

High School Notes

The program last Monday was one
Of the best which has been given this
year. Mary Lunger's article on the
life of the Indians in this vicinity
about so years ago was we'll prepar
ed and contained some very interest
ing facts about the names Of the
different towns and their origin.
Next Friday the basketball team
plays Ellsworth on our own floor.
This will be one of the best games Of
the season. Ellsworth has not been
defeated, by high school team this
season, and they have played some
strong teams We haye yet to re-
ceive our first defeat so the game
ought to be a hummer. The team
this year is fast and we hope the
fans will turn out in goodly num-
bers next Friday and help the team.
A new and novel way of giving the
school paper was presented by Billy
Smith, Robert Gorden and Charles
Hunter. Billy Smith as the Scout
had the most to say but he was ably
assisted by Big Chief Hunter and
little chief Gordon. M r. Wright
sang two of the group of four
American Indian songs by Cadman
and was enjoyed as much as ever.
Other selections were just as good
and as we'll rendered. Miss Smith
should be complimented upon the
thoroughness in which the program
was prepared and given.
Mr.. Ensign has sent/out call for
debate candidates. About ten can
didates responded. The question this
year is a very important issue and
should interest everyone. The ques-
ton as decided upon is, Resolved
that the Federal Govt. Should own
and operate the steam railways of
the i. S. Out of the group of can
didates, s students will be chosen to
make up two teams and an alternate
for each team. Of last years teams
there are four boys left, Charles
Cox, Orson Pratt, Philip Snodgrass
and John LINER. With four expert
enced debaters we should have two
excellent teams and we hope to win
both debates in order to make up
for last year. The debates will be
held March 18th, one team debating
here and one at Ell sWorth.

MRS. TOENSFEtDT IS
 TO SING AT CONCERT
Philip Memoli, Cornetist, Will Play Solo at Community Singing at the Bijou Sunday Afternoon

Mrs. Nora Hughes Toensfeldt, so- prano, and Philip Memoli, cornetist, will supply the solo features for the twenty-frst community singing pro- gramme next Sunday afternoon in the Biiou theatre at o'clock. Mrs. Toens- feldt is an artist that has been very sparing with her art since coming to Birmingham, having been heard by comparatively few people. Her appear ance next Sunday will offer what will probably be the last opportunity the music lovers of Birmingham will have of hearing her fine song interpretations, as she is leaving the city very shortly
 for an indefinite stay. Philip Memoli plays his instrument with a rare deli
 cacy seldom heard in cornet solo play
 ing and his numb CTS Sunday afternoon are expected to bring out a great num- Der of his admirers.
 The Philharmonic orchestra will ren- der some very attractive numbers on the coming programme, the selections to include an overture and three light CT compositions by well known com posers.
 The campaign for raising the $So0O needed to finance the orchestra for the winter concerts is progressing fairly we'll. Up to o'clock Wednesday night there had been over 5000 donated.

Aside From Patriotic Duty in Buying Liberty Loan
 Are Straight Goods and Sold On Pure @ Merit Alone Alone

Abroad it is very different. Nearly ey- erybody who has any funds at all has some government securities. our gov ernment bonds are as good almost, Tor any purpose, as heady money, in fact, they are better, because they bear in- terest, and money in safe deposit against a future use does not grow Government bonds kept for six months grows cou- pon which can be spent, the bond being worth it's market price, nevertheless, and growing still other coupons. If money is wanted, the bond is saleable any day with it's coupon which is not lost because sold.
 ..It is remarkable to note how America has sat up and taken notice of govern ment bonds" MT. Caheen said, since the first liberty loan campaign, why, people who didn't know a bond from q bomb now talk about them as if they were their dearest and most intimaN friends Women who never knew any thing at all about investments, and leax- of ali about investments in bonds, now point with pride to one, two, three, five, ten liberty loan bonds that they own. with the pride of Rothschild or a Pier pont Morgan. Why? Because they know it's real money. I believe that after the war is over, liberty loan bonds will in crease in value, so that bond now bringing $100 will sell for S115."
 ''So much for the purchase of liberty loan bonds as an investment said Mir Caheen. "Now, let's look at it from a patriotic standpoint. We are not now contributing to the funds for ammuni- ton and things of that sort for our sol diers, but we are contributing in this second liberty loan bond movement to the actual every-day necessities of our soldiers-food and clothing. We no longer reckon in millions for the maintenance of our army but In billions. and we must have cooperation and loyalty to carry on what we've started. I believe that Birmingham will do her part as she always has, and in my opinion the word stacker will never be written opposite inc name of any man, woman or child in this great district of ours who can possibly see his way clear to respond to the second liberty loan call"
