Retail Credits.

AT the regular December open
forum of the Chamber of Com
merce, Monday evening, W. A.
Masters, st. Joseph, Mo-, cover
ed the subject of credits, espec-
tally during this period in our
economic history. He stressed
the point of the value of conf
dence, and cited an instance
where, instead of closing out a
business man, he was given a
chance to pay out on a pro rata
plan. He is making good on that
plan, where to have compelled
him to have met his obligations
dollar for dollar, he would have
been forced to the wall.
Mr.. Masters emphasized the
work that the Chambers OF
Commerce are doing thruout
the entire country, and assigned
them the leadership in eacf
community, where they properly
function. He referred to the
high standard of training a
Wentworth, which has had tn,
task of educating three Of hi
sons.
After the talk, a number re
mained to MUNICH apples, and
discuss community affairs.

Saturday morning Sheriff For
sha arrested a young man who
had left a Nash car at a local
garage for repairs. When he
came for the car ne rendered a
check in payment for the re-
pairs, which the garage man re-

Later it was found that the car
had been stolen in Rowland,
Kansas. He gave bis nero y
Teddy Myers, which, in a meas

A Wise PrecautiOn.

1t is a matter of general inter-
est to the people of this commu-
nifty, as we'll as to all people who
would have been drawn here by.
the convening of the criminal
court, that the jury has been dis
missed and that no court viii be
held in December. This was
done through the opportunities
of some of the jurors, attorneys,
witnesses, and physicians of
Lexington and other towns in
the county, on account of the ep-
idemic of smallpox in some To-
calities.
The physicians here began a
campaign of education soon
after the epidemic appeared in
Kansas City, and as a result on
ly one case has so far develop
ed. This was made possible by
the hearty cooperation of cit
izens and authorities of the city
and county, and it is believed
that with a continuation of ordi-
nary precautions the disease car
be kept out entirely. AT least
every effort should be made tC
avoid an influx of outsiders, es.
pecially from infected localitie:
until the epidemic has disap
lpeared. With this in view, th'
physicians of Lexington sub
mitted to the Court the follow
: ing memoranda:

Temptation Window.

In small Indiana town the Metho-

on the bottom panels Of which are
printed verses Of Scripture. One TINT
six-year-old Willie has been able to
decipher, and from the effort relnem'
bers well, goes: "And lead us not
into temptation"
Not long after, his mother took him
to visit an old friend who had built
an expensive new home. Now, In the
hall there were two high windows
and both Of them we're made OF
orange-colored glass. When they en-
tered that room Willie stared and
stared but said nothing. But that
night when he told his father all about
the new house he remembered the
orange windows and said: "And oh,
dad, they're awfully religious. They've
got those windows that keep out temp
