CHICAGO, H., Oct si.--It was inter
Agting to talk with Clarence Eklund, the
Wyoming wrestler, Just after he had left
the ring In which Earl Caddock gave
him a severe lesson at Carroll Iowa. As

ali alone in his little tent, while the win
ner 100 feet away was surrounded by a
bowling mob OF Iowa fans.
Eklund was blue, figuratively and III

of final head scissors that Caddock had
put on In murderous fashion; his ears

Never Spend 1t Till You Get It

/
The credit system may be all right
in it's way. but the wise man in thi:
world will pay as he goes. The sigr
on the street car is signifcant-"Pay
as you enter"
Where it is easy to obtain credit q
man or a woman finds the situation
so easy that they buy more than they
want and more than they need, alto
gether forgetful of the fact that
some day they must pay.
The man who figures on the future
will never spend dollar until he has
earned it.
There is serene satisfaction in pay.

necessitate a bit of self-denial. You
may have to 60 without some things
you would like very much to have,
but in the end you will congratulate
yourself that you can look the world

satisfied feeling that you are inde.
pendent, that you are under no obi.
cations to any man.
The credit system has been dually
ruinous. 1t has sent manv merchants
into bankruptcy. and it has ruined
the financial standing of the custom
er who buys beyond his means be-
cause he can get what he wants and
have it charged.
The man who never spends a dol.
lar until he has earned it stands q
very fair chance of ending in the
long run with a bank account. He
realizes just how much he has got to
spend, just how much he should
spend, and just how much he can
spend.
OF course there are occasions when
a man must go in debt, but debt is
an awful burden to carry. 1t means
weight and worry. The mere thought
of what you are obliged to pay and
what you can not pay is a sting that
disturbs your peace in life.
The great trouble with most of
the American people is that they live
beyond their means.
If there was no credit system man
could only buy what he had money
enough to buy with. He will then
enter a store with so many dollars.
He knows that this is the limit of his
capital. He must buy within his
means. and in doing this he saves
himself from many a luxurious folly
that he might commit if the smiling
clerk casually remarked, Go as far

 Fred kain, who, with James Hardie, led the sons of Tucson to the front in Europe as members of the French Ambulance corps, reported from Paris in a letter to J. s. Ebert, which was printed in the Arizona Star.
 Apparently Kain found Paris a wet place for an Arizonan.

 "We did not have the satisfaction of seeing a periscope," he said, '1et alone a submarine. The last two nights the captain advised all to keep on their clothes and sleep on deck near the life boats.
 "This was during the time we were passing through the barred zone. The AdoL AASnL We SdWy UT IdLQeI some Frenchmen lying near us saw, a sky rocket shooting in the air. That was enough.

 To-day large United States bat tleship arrived and the boys are all over town taking in the sights. They are some sights, too, Billy. Some of them shock even Jim and me.
 "The darndest thing though, we can't get what we want to eat.
