Paying Up

We lately had Pay Up Week,
when folks squared up their an
cient bills, and coin was flowing
like a streak, to all the local mer-
chants tills. I settled for the
wooden leg l bought nine years
ago last May, and Jones and
Smith and Brown and Gregg paid
up for groceries and hay. l long
had Stunned the busy streets, and
through the alleys took my way,
consorting with a lot of beats who
couldn't or who wouldn't pay.
Alas, l lacked the nerve to face
the men | owed for fountain pens,
for calico and Irish lace, for
poodles and for setting hens. 1t
filled me with dread intense to
see the tailor just ahead; and l
would hide behind a fence on
hearing links, the butchers, tread.
l owed this man and that pound,
to one a bone. to one mark; in
furtive style l slid around and
made my journeys after dark.
But Pay Up Week brought strong
from merchants who were
dust; they handed out
most potent spells to men who
had abused their trust. And so,
by conscience we'll advised, with
cash to creditors l sped; the mer-
chant princes were surprised, but
only one fell over dead. And now
l proudly walk the street, there's
nothing Sinking now in me; no
matter who | chance to meet, l
do not hide behind tree.

AN EXPLANATION.

We are due to our readers, and to
our correspondents as well, an ex-
planationof why so very many very
Important matters have been left out
of this paper this week.
The law makes allowance for a
physical impossibility" and to get
out our paper on time this week and
carry anything like the full service
was a physical impossibility. In
these days the linotype does all the
type setting in the modern office,
and we have lost our linotype man.
Mr.. Stanley who has been our de-
pendence for so long, has joined the
Marines. We would not have let any
one else have him but Uncle Sam. We
know that good many of our far
mer and business friends appreciate
our position just now, when SO many
men are being taken. At any rate,
we could not get another man for
love or money in time to get out the
current issue on time, so wehavedone
the best we could without help this
week leaving out so much that was
really very important, but getting out
on time, which weconsider virtue
at any rate.
Some important matters will be
in next weeks issue that are left out
of this, but of course much loses all
it's value by the delay.
One of the matters which we are
forced to leave out is our account
of the most interesting and successful
Red Cross Advertising Party of last
week of which we had prerared a
an interesting account.
In this connection we wish to eX-
press our appreciation and thanks
for our representation In the parade
by Miss Minnie Lou McNeel, whose
simply arranged costume, was most
charming and effective.
We ask our friends not to discon-
tinue sending us the news because of
our failure to getit in this time.

GERMAN NATIONAL DEBT
REACHES THIRTY BILLIONS
Taxpayers Soon Will be Crashing
Their Teeth.

New York, April l9,-Germany
will have to observe the greatest
economy, for her national debt now
is l24000,000,000 marks ($30,00000O-
OOO), and the hour OF reckoning will
come when there will be gnaShing
of teeth on the part Of the taNpay-
ers. This reflection on the German
financial situation was made in the
reichstag March |, by Count Ar
thur Won PodSadowsky Wchner, for
mer vice-chancellor, according to
the Cologne Gazette, copy OF
which has been received here.
The count, who is not a member
of any political party, said that when
he was at the head of the imperial
treasury department the national
treasury department. the national
debt was l,750,000.0O0 marks, and he
had considered that amount as ter
ribly high. Schemes to decrease the
debt through new taxes were not
approved at the time, and the gov
ernment continued to increase the
debt instead OF taking up the battl,
