 Halifax

Halifax. N. S. December 14.-Abandon- ment of the British steamship Messina. reported yesterday as in a sinking condi. tion 4SO miles eff the New Foundland coast, was announced in a radio message received here tonight.
 The message said that another vessel was standing by awaiting a favorable opportunity t. take off the crew" This was taken to indicate that the crew had not actually. left the Messina, but that the men were preparing to get off as soon as possible, in the belief that the steamer could rot be saved.
 It is thought that the rescue steamer probably is the MapIemore. The Messira is owned by the Gulf Line, Ltd. She sailed from St. John, N. B. for Antwerp December 5.

To weed out the men and the women who do not pay their bills-who do not value their honor-THE MERCHANTS CREDIT ASSO OCLATION was formed The association consists of practically all the retail merchants in the city. They have clearance house, through which they clear credits In an instant is possible for any member of this association to find how "a customer has been paying his bills with any other member. It eliminates the undesirable customer who makes habit of buying first from merchant then another, without meeting his obligations If you pay your bls you don't every merchant in this associa ton knows it-and credits you accordingly.

"A Stitch in Time
 SaUes Nine'
 An old saying, but a truer one was never said. It applies to everything where PROMPTNESS COUNTS-and promptness counts in everything. It's the STITCH IN TIME THAT SAVES CREDIT.
 It also saves HONOR, EMBARRASS- MENT AND SELF RESPECT. The man who pays his bills anlook the whole world in the face And, better still-the man who pays his bills can buy again-and say Charge it."
 PROMPT PAY CREATES CREDIT, and credit is the most valuable thing in the world.

LIBELS ARE FILED
IN NUMBER LIQUOR
SEIZURE CASES

The federal authorities have taken
over the dozen quarts of Cuban cognac
which the police captured several
weeks ago from barge captain Soren-
sen, and which was held at the Jail
when Sorensen was released. The
anxiety in some quarters as to whether
or not this liquor would reach the Gus
tody of the county officials or not has
thus been relieved.
Other liquor seizures were also Of
ficially made yesterday when District
Attorney John L. Nicely filed ibels
against the following:
F. Banks, master of the schooner G.
H. Hackley, 81 gallons of liquor. This
was seized by the sheriff Of Bay coun-
ty at Panama City several weeks ago.
NJ. NJ. Yates. master of the schooner
Beatrice" LIZ gallons Of rum.
Skipper Vulcanizing Company, of
York, Penn. 81 gallons OF whiskey.
This is the whislSey which was seized
few weeks ago at the plant OF the
Mccain Vulvanizing Co.
Investigation which was conducted
at the instigation of the management
of the local vulcanizing plant revealed
that no one connected with the bust
ness was in any manner responsible,
but that the name of the business had
been used by some one else who had
evidently intended calling on the ex-
press company for the shipment in the
name of the concern which was the in
nocent victim.
Upon receipt of the shipment the
express company sent it Immediately
to the vulcanizing concern here before
the party who had really ordered it
had had time to call for it, it is as
serted, and upon receipt at the place
of business of the vulcanizing company
the management Immediately notified
the u. s. marshars office of the con-
traband goods.
