PROMPT PAYMENT.
Business Development Requires Bus'
ness Methods.

ness "ctHooos
The subject OF credits in our tinan-
cial life should be given more atten-
tion. In our commercial transactions
all the terms and details are generally
definitely expressed and understood
and based OH sound business expert
ence except only the credit arrange
ment. Under the present methous
credits are placed in open book ac-
counts, the date of payment OF which,
while understood and definitely stated
Is left wide open and in many cases the
date of payment Is postponed ana
ignored.
The open book account, with us
losses of interest on overdue accounts
of waste and loss from bad debts, mas
been a defect in our business system
and has made the cost of distribution
from manufacturing to consumer un-
necessarily expensive.
When q buyer fails to pay MS Diils
al q specified time he Is forcing the
seller to carry the account on MS
capital with no compensation for TINS
in the selling price of the articles sold.
Each day that passes after maturity
means a shaving down Of the sellers
profit. "a generous credit granting In
this country has dulled commercial men
regarding the importance OF meeting
obligations promptly" 1t Is well for
the business man, In considering the
value of the trade acceptance In Its
relation to his own business, to bear In
mind the bigger and broader view and
not to limit his horizon to his own
affairs.
The signing Of a trade acceptance by
the buyer Is no different in its moral
effect than the signing OF the order
specifying the kind and quality OF the
goods. In signing an order. whether
Iby letter or otherwise. the buyer obli-
gates himself to purchase the quality
and quantity of the goods specified
the date of shipment and all the Other
details: and in signing the trade ac-
ceptance he simply confirms the agree
ment as to the terms of payment.
Mr.. w. F. H. Koelsch, president OF
the New York Credit Mems Associa'
tion, says, in speaking Of trade ac-
ceptances and better business: "Tht
general proposition Of the trade ac'
ceptance Is characterized principal,
by its simplicity. 1t is strange that the
great economic value and the tmeli'
ness OF this movement have not beer
more readily recognized by business
men generally, and bankers In par
ticular."
The trade acceptance Ia form oi
commercial paper, the use Of which
will do more to increase American n
nancial efficiency than almost an,
other factor, whereas the open boob
account system is wasteful and inef-
ficient. Competition has. In the last
few years, been extensive and seems u
be growing, leading often to unsount
business methods, while the cost ol
doing business continues to mount: al
of which emphasizes the necessity fol
better business methods and more
lcareful consideration and less waste.
Besides, we are now living In thu
midst OF most unusual conditions
caused by the war, and too great EN-.
phasis cannot be laid on the import.

to be applied will be made public
later. after congress has acted upon
proposed legislation providing for the
registration Of youths attaining the
age Of 81 years and for basing state
district quotas on the number Of reg

statement on the subject, however,
General Crowder assures the country
that no sweeping withdrawal Of large

The Parson.

At an Ashland avenue home they
have the fashion of giving names to
chickens and other creatures about the
place. Some days ago the mother
bought fine black rooster in market.
"We1l name him the Parson,'" said
the mother.
A few days later the new preacher
and his wife were invited to dinner.
They were in the parlor awaiting the
event. Margaret, age six, came hur-

mother ndmOnished her to be on her
good behavior, "for today" said moth

Growing that the black or stem rust

carrying on work similar to that start

this year, namely-propoganda that
will lead to the eradication of the com

To safeguard this years much need
ed wheat crop, all common barberry
bushes should be destroyed as soon as
possible. This was done in Denmark
in 1903, and since that time black or
stem rust that was common has been
eliminated.
While q large number Of bushes in
the state were destroyed by last years
campaign there are doubtless many re-

bushes last year. are urged to re-ex-

see that none were missed and that no
new growth has started from the old

appreciable damage only when the
weather is favorable for its develop

common barberry, sendsa specimen to
H. =. Bolley, Agricultural College, N.
D., or Department of Agriculture, at
Bismarck, N. D., for identification.
The common barberry; the one that
must be destroyed is bush or shrub
growing from three to seven feet high.
The most common characteristic Of
which is three spines growing out
from q common base, one upright and
the other two at right angels to the
one. The leaves are smooth but spiny
edged, green or purplish in color; the
branches are arched and the twigs a
grayish color green. The flowers are
yellow, berries when ripe are scarlet.
Both flowers and berries are in
reemes, that is, they are borne similar
to the flowers and fruit on the COM
mon currant bush.
Do not destroy the japanese bar
berry as this does not serve as a host
plant for the rust. This differs from
the common type in that it is q SINH
lar shrub, single spined and the edges
of the leaves are smooth.
In accordance with Senate Bill No.
1879, Commissioner Of Agriculture anu
Labor, ]. N. .Hagan, has appointed
special agents to cover the state for
the purpose Of identifying this pest SO
that it maybe destroyed as required
by law.
