Discount the amount taken off your bill for prompt payment.
1t is based on the fact that money works. When YOU do not pay
or is losing II. Hence he is willing to pay you something if yu will
remit quickly. ~, aassy VI
Discount is in use aA down the line Of busness-almost. The
manufacturer OF a stove, for instance, pays discount to the jobher OF
wholesaler. the johbcr gives discount to the retail store. but here the
line breaks, for the retailer gives no discount TO Mrs. q Grady who
buys the stove and cooks with il
An enterprisng company has been formed to stop this gap in
other words, TO give the ultimate consumer also a discount.
For this purpose the system aims TO secure the cooperation Of
four parties the storckeeper, the savings bank, the customer, and the
company that engineers the project.
The storekeeper goes 10 the bank and buys a ulantity Of alum
mum checks, Of denominations ranging from half a cent 10 a dollar
When the customer buys II broom or a hat the storekeepcr says,
If you wish to pay cash for this and take it along with you we give
YOU a discount of 10 cents
With "a little extra inconvenience the customer sees an easy way
20 make a dime. He pays cash and carries away his marcel putting
IN his pocket the little metal check worth 10 cents.
When he gets a small collection of these checks hc takes them to
the savings bank and opens am account.
Thus the customer is helped to save, the storekccper is advan.
tagged by getting his money in cash and in not having to make delivery.
and the bank has another savings account
II is Il good scheme and wish it well.
mere Is II % reason why the ultimate consumer should not proGt
from prompt pay ss well as the jobber.
II would encourage saving, Bank, would extend their usefulness
Thrift would be promoted. The discount would not be- givcn iu a
form Tor spending, but only for saving.
Many attempts have been made to remedy the expense Of credit
accounts liner" are stores that sell for cash only, and others that

People VIII 20 on BUYING for credit, because il is ca,ier and inst u.
cheap as paying cash. But IL II be made to ones profit ia paw down

Discount IA IN" aggregate is am enormous factor. A Chicago

RECEIVES BRONZE MEDAL

Rae Best, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert
Best, S0S Randolph street, this city,
received a bronze medal from the
state of Wisconsin last Friday for
federal service in Mexico during 1916
1917. The medal has inscribed upon
it Wisconsin National Guard, Mexi-
can Service" On one side of the
medal are three palm leaves, and on
the other star with a wreath around
it, and "1916-1917." Attached to the
medal is red, white and green rib
bon, the colors of the Mexican flag.

pany supply sergeant. He has had
three promotions sergeant
and lastly supply sergeant.
Supply Sergeant Best was on the
Mexican border from June %, 1916. to
November, 1916. He then went with
Company G to Ashland, where they
remained for some time. They have
now been stationed at Camp MacAr-
thur, Waco, Texas, and it may be that
they have now left that place. as il
has been reported that the boys are
leaving that camp every day.

RELIEF SOCIETY To BE ESTAB.
LISHED IN WkUSAU

The National League for Woman's
Service has been established in this
country, and branch called the Wau-
sau Business Woman's Service for
Overseas Relief, is being established
in this city at 511 Third street.
The slogan for this movement is,
cone garment week for France"
The object is to clothe the mothers
and children of eighteen devastated
viii ages in France through distribut-
ing centers of the American Fund for
French Wounded.
In this city group of women under
"a leader may take over a workroom
a definite night each week. There
are garments, already cut from the
French patterns to be assembled, al
so machine and hand sewing. Cut
garments and sample models will be
given to any responsible person, from
the American Fund for French Wound
ed, to be made at home.
The American Fund for French
Wounded makes a fiat rate of twenty
five cents each for a garment of a
mixed lot. The plan of service is
to have two groups of women-one
group to pay for the material and one
group to make the garments.
Anyone desiring to know more about
this may inquire of Miss Mary B.
Mooney, Mrs. j. w. Coates or Mrs.
Thomas Jacob. Miss l.. NJ. Kabke is
secretary.
Letters, circulars and pledge cards
have been sent out to the business
women of Wausau the past week, and
the cards are to be returned as soon
as possible in order that this re-
lief work may be started at once.

100000 IN CLASS NO. 1

Under the new selective service
plan, the fighting men of our country
in future drafts will come from Glass
No. 1. This means young men who
have no families and not skilled in
necessary industrial or agricultural
work. Provost Marshal General
| Crowder in his report says that class
| one should provide men for all mill
tary needs of the country, and to ac-
complish that he urges an amend
nlent of the draft law to the effect
that all men who shall have reached
their 21st birthday since June 5th,
1917, shall register for classification,
| and that there NAV be a fair dis
tribution of the military burden he
proposes that the quotas of states
and districts be determined hereafter
on the basis of the number of men in
class one and not by population. Fig
ures indicate that at the close of
classification period which ends Feb
18th, 1 100000 will be found in class
one, which includes single men with
out dependent families, married men
who have habitually failed to sup
port their families, who are depend
ent upon wives for support, or not
usefully engaged, and those whose
families are supported by incomes
Independent of their labor; unskilled
farm laborers, unskilled industrial
laporers, registrants by or in respect
OF whom no deferred classification is
claimed or made, registrants who fail
to submit questionaires and in respect
of whom no deferred classification is
claimed or made, and all registrants
not included in any other division of
the schedule
In summing up Gen. Crowder shows
that 9,5S6,50S men between the ages
OF u and 81 years registered 5,S7G
sought to evade the registration and
of these 2,263 were released after
having registered and 2,O95 cases
were to be prosecuted
Of the total registration of $3.50, sos
the number called and examined was
3,0S2,949 and of these 1,057,353 were
certified by the boards for military
service. Since the first call was for
only $4,000 men there now remain
37O,365 men awaiting summons to the
mobilization camps.
OF all men examined 730,756 or 23.7
per cent were rejected for physical
reasons. That, it is pointed out shows
an encouraging condition of the young
men Of the nation since the civil war
day, for at that time the draft au-
thorities rejected 80 per cent of all the
men called on physical grounds.
About one half of all men called
claimed exemption.
Tables accompanying the report show
many striking results of the draft.
Taking the total of 1,243, ,S01 aliens
registered, it is shown that of the 457,- :
us called up for examination, 76,545
were certified for military service,
having waived their right to exemp-
tiop as aliens and in effect volunteered
for the battle of democracy. Even of
the 1851 exempted, 40 per cent went
out on other grounds than their alien
status.
Montana led the states in the men
who filed no claim for exemption-S0
per cent were ready to go to the front.
