SLOGAN OF
MERCHANTS
Campaign of Week for Liquida-
tion of Debts Opens To-day;
Result Getter from
Kickoff.

"Pay-up week opened in Chickasha
this morning with every indication
pointing to its complete success de-
clared Arthur Ersland, secretary Of
the Retail eMrchants' association
this afternoon.
"In fact" Mr. Ersland continued,
"Payup week has already proved its
worth in this city Many debtors
have responded to the call of Pay-up
week and many Of the merchants
have been paid debts that have been
lingering on the credit books for
many moons. Every Chickasha mer-
chant is more than satisfied with the
results already CLEANED from Pay-up
week, and this is only the opening
day,
Contrary to the opinions Of many,
this statewide movement is not to
set forth or renew the attack upon
those who are over-burdened with
debts, or those who are unable to
pay The functions of Pay-up week,
in it's simplest FORM is to promote
the idea of quick payments by those
who are financially able to meet
their debts every month, but who
overlook the necessity of prompt
payment and sometimes let their
bills go unpaid for months"
The r. M. A. has spent a sum OF
money in advertising Pay-up week
and this city is strewn with window
cards, placards, etc. The movement
is being pushed all over the county
and in every vicinity is securing re-
suits.
Pay-up week extends through Feb.

Recent favorable action taken by
the board of officers at Camp Gordon
to recommend officers for permanent
commissions in the army will proba-
bly, mean that the army will secure
the lasting services of a competent

unusual attention about the city,

whether the name was correctly

liked at Gordon.-Atlanta Constitu

PARIS, Feb. 5.-The peace dele'
gates are working today on the diff
ficult problems involved in the
creation of the League of Nations,
as to the force with which the
league will make its decisions ef-
fective.
Opinion seemed to be divided as
to whether the force should be
moral or physical Many plans have
been submitted ranging from the
complete abolition of armaments to
the organization Of an international
military and naval police under
single commander
The plan finding the greatest sup
port among the responsible dele
gates, however, provides for no such
radical departure. It proposes mere
ly a reduction in each nations ar
mament to a point consistent with
the maintenance of domestic tran
guilty.
The league itself is to be the ulti-
mate Judge of the size Of army and
navy needed by the members of the
league. The manner Of raising the
armies is to be left to the individual
countries. Great Britain and the
United States almost certainly
would reply on volunteers, attract
ed by good payC)i is believed.
France and Italy it is almost posi-
tive would return to conscription.
Frances army would probably be
much smaller than before the war
while that of the United States and
Great Britain would be about the
same as their former standing ar
mics When the central powers are
taken in the league could fixe the
size of their armies.

The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1919-08-21

The famous libel trial of Henry
Ford VS.. The Chicago Tribune has
come to an end. Mr.. Ford was VIC
torious. The jury awarded him six
cents damages. The plaintiff cares
very little, we presume, about the
verdict Of the court, in its legal ca
pacity, and six cents as a monetary
consideration will probably be as sat-
isfactory to him as a larger sum. But
as to the greater court composed Of
his countrymen, who read the testi-
mony from day to day, he will ex-
tract no little satisfaction from the
fact that he got the truth home to
them and that they must vindieate
him Of any imputation of anarchism
or disloyalty. That, we take it, was
his object in starting the suit. Per-
sonally we believe he would have
been happier and perhaps wiser if he
hal 'aot started it at all, but the testi-
mony, most of it, showed that he has
been a patriotic, generous, helpful
citizen, who made much better
showing than his opponents in all of
these important particulars. We are
not approving of all Of Mr.. Ford's
ideas, although we confess admira-
ton for many of them, but we are
paying a little tribute to his human
ity, his courage and his honesty of
purpose.
