SETTLING Up WITH NEW YEAR
TDubuOun Times JOurnal1

! dubuque Times Journal
For many people any pleasure that
may attach to the New Year season is
marred by the shower of bills that US
ually comes in at that time. II is a
period when creditors are unusually
active. They look over their books
with the beginning q n twelve month
send out statements for every delayed
account, and write a great many dun
ming letters. II is a period of storm
and stress for debtors.
Many persons throw anything thar
they recognize as a bill into the waste
basket unread and unopened. They
are naturally sanguine and have little
conception Of the obligation OF a debt.
They intend to pay som etime" but
that Sometime" never comes. They
always have buoyant hopes that some
good fortune will turn up enabling
them to satisfy all creditors and start
lanew.
These strokes Of good fortune. how
ever. do not turn up for happy go
lucky people. They are the logical Sc
quence Of hard work and methodical
business methods. The preparation for
them is laid long time beforehand by
persistent dpplIcdlIOn anu luuuStiJ anu
by rigid fulfilment Of obligations. Debt
paying people are the kind that strike
unexpected windfalls
Therefore let everyone start out this
January to make d better record. II

dition of practical bankruptcy ought to
