and disappeared with the shotgun.
Mrs. Backus and their two children

two men, so far as known, were on
friendly terms, and no one in Kiowa

Backus suddenly became insane.
Deputy Sheriff George Farhion and
two citizens, hastily sworn in, left

took up the trail of Backus.

PAY YOUR BILLS

A man sent over to a local mer-
chant this week and ordered a bill of
goods, promising to make payment for
the goods within a short time. It
developed, however, that the customer
was on the merchants books for more
than a year and had not settled his
former Indebtedness. He had prom
Used to do SC and, though he had
plenty of money at various times, he
did not think of calling around and
settling his old bill. Nor had he even
been to the store to trade since that
time. Naturally, the merchant re-
fused to honor the order and sent
word to the customer that, if the lat
ter would not pay the old bill, no fur
Their credit could be given.
This is but one instance. Many
poor accounts are being carried on
nearly every merchants books. They
figure a certain per cent of losses
through bad accounts each year and it
seems that such is the penalty of con-
Quoting business. A travesty on prin-
ciple, civilizing principle. If a mer-
chant is sufficiently helpful and &C.
commodating to extend credit to a
man, then appreciation should be man.
ifested as soon as possible by payment
of the obligation. When a dealer ex-
tends credit, he is loaning his money
without interest because no more is
charged a credit customer than is
n who pays cash. If more people
made quick response to their debts,
there would be fewer bankrupts, larg-
Ell credits extended and a more mutual
feeling of fellowship between trades
mar and customer.
