Pay Your Bills Promptly!
1t S a Patriotic Duty

G The welfare of the country depends upon sound
business. The sound conduct of business depends
upon cicuation of money. And the constant cir
cuation of money depends upon prompt payment
of bills.
g Now, more than BEFORE is your help needed
in this direction.
q Producers of raw materials have cut down dis
counts and credit terms to the manufactures -
the manufacturer to the iobber the iobber to the
dealer - and the dealer must look to you for
cooperation.
q And upon the promptness with which you pay
him, depends his prices to you For If you delay
and he is Obliged to borrow money to pay the Job
Der for the things for which you owe him, his cost
of doing business is going to 90 up, and he will
have to get more for his goods to meet the in
creased expense
q Of course you are good for the bill you receive -
you have the money in the bank to pay it - and
you'll send check zone of these days" - but
that doesn't help the dealer.
al Get check off to him right away-keep the money
in circulation - do your bit toward sound busi-
ness help preserve the welfare of the country
q And if you want to 60 a step further - arrange
for shorter credit periods - tell your dealer to
render bills every week or two weeks instead of
monthly.
q But above all else - pay your bills promptly.
q It's a patriotic duty,

Potato Patches in Franklin
Co. Ruined by June Hail

Waynesboro, Pa, Aug. 14.-It is
said that the potato patches deVas-
tated by the hail storm June 6, will
not yield anything like full crop
not even a half crop. Some planters
have taken up some of the spuds
and in many hills find but single
potato, and OF inferior size and quail
ity. This cannot be accounted for
except in a general way by charging
it up to the hail, which whacked
off the first growth of tops when
they were four or six inches high.
But this leaves the cause uneXplain-
ed. Nothing like it ever happened
in anybody's experience III this vicin-
ity.
After the bombardment of mis-
siles on that Wednesday afternoon,
when the potato, like all other grow
ing plants, was sheared off to the
ground, everybody supposed that
that was the last of poor Murphy.
But soon afterward the tops began to
shoot forth and there never were
larger ones and it was thought that
a tremendous crop would be the re-
suit, but not so. A very small crop
will be harvested.
