CROMWELL HAD LIGHTER SIDE
incident Recorded Of Him Seems to
Prove That He Could Enjoy a
Practical Joke.

It Is told OF Oliver Cromwell, the
English leader and soldier, that he
had great love of fun, which he
would indulge often at the expense Of
Others, according to the impulse of
the moment. An example OF. this trait
is shown In the following incident.
Cromwell had very beautiful daugh-
ter, and at the time he came into
power in England one Of his attend
ants took fancy to this young lady.
One day Cromwell went into his
daughters room and was surprised to
see his page on his knees making a
declaration Of his love to hts daughter.
What does this meanT' demanded
Cromwell. sss "a .,4tsn
MAY it please your worship" STAN
mered the frightened page, II am in
love with yonder waiting maid
pointing to her as he spoke-'and
have been beseeching your daughter
to use her influence in my behalf"
Are you willing" said Cromwell to
the waiting maid, ITO have this fellow
for your husband?"
"Yes," she answered.
WELL them" said Cromwell, wen
have minister called In and you two
shall be married immediately" and It
was no sooner said than done Phila-

WAS MARRIED TO BEST MAN
Odd Happening Recorded at Wedding
Bridegroom Willing TO Allow
Bride Time to Consider.

Not so long ago strange error
occurred at a church wedding. In
some way the bridal party became
confused and at the close of the cere.
mony 1t was discovered that the bride
had been married to- the best man.
Further complications arose from the
fact that the best man was already
engaged to- the brides younger Sis
ter. The register had not yet been
signed, and there was nothing for
1t but to perform the ceremony over
again. The mistake had arisen
through the best man undertaking to
make the necessary response for the
bridegroom, who was so nervous as
to be unable to remember them him
self. At wedding which took place
in a country village a few years ago
the bridegroom, on being asked the
customary question, swift thou take
this woman to be thy wife?" scratched
his head reflectively, and, turning to
the bride, asked: "Win We clean my
boots?" The query was met In the
affirmative, and the ceremony pro
ceeded A laughable incident once
occurred at village wedding. When
the bride had reached the church she
had forgotten her gloves, and fatty
refused to be married without them,
adding: "Be quick, lest change my
mind!" Two hours later the bride
groom was discovered seated In the
local Inn, calmly putting away at
cigar, waiting, as he explained, to see
II the bride really would change her
mind.

CRED|T ASSOCIATION REPRE SENTATIVE LAYS
 BEFORE BUSINESS MEN LOGIC OF BUSINESS

What is credit? When did it origin ate? How does it effect business Credit Is money or merchandise loan ed to an individual or corporation for a given period of time. Vt is not based so much on the security, ot the credit seeker, these are only intended as safe guards. The principal factors really are; The moral character rell- ability and His ability to Pay as well as the practicability of the proposition involved.
 It originated in the very early days of colonization when adventures were "s,rub staked'' in return for share or profits of their discoveries In later year Manufacturers were given ere dit on raw materials in order to give time to manufacture and market the finished articles. This in turn has been passed on to the wholesale Jopper then the retail merchant" who was given 30, 50 and 90 days to sell the gods and get the money. It was never intended that the retainer should gram unlimited credit for an almost unllm- tied period to the General Public, es- p,cially on foodstuffs and actual cost of living. For as a rule they draw a regular weekly or monthly salary, tc take care of these items.
 In 1887 the immense losses incur rod hv the merchants in the East, es- pecially in New York, caused by Wlio- cat money, mushroom banks, and lax cradit methods forced these merchants to devise some means to protect them selves in the future. This was the birth of Credit Associations and Credit Rat ings.
 The Credit Rating today of Retail Customer is not so much as to Wha' he owns. How much money ln the bank. etc. But does he pay his bllls What is his income? Does he live wltf in his income. How and when will ne be able to pay for merchandise taken on credit. Will he keep his promises Can he do so? How much does he owe now?
 It is very important that the mer- chant should secure the full name ana address present income, occupation, and previous occupation and any other information, especially with the view of tracing the debtor should he leave town for Address unknown"
 Not only does thit protect the mer- chant but it educates the customer and makes him realize that. When he is buying on Credit, he is actually spending money which must be paid. In the past here in Alaska, the puphc has been educated to buy, and not to pay.
 Some merchants are too busy giving away. their merchandise to bother about sending out bills or waste tune collecting." In some cases they will in sue cheques or drafts to their whole salers some distance away, trust to good luck, that by the time it returns to the bank they will have enough cash to meet it. If there is not, when the bank tells them so, they rush round to their best paying customers, collect enough cash to meet the cheque, and let the old accounts ride till some other time.
 This merchant gives almost unlimit- ed credit to anyone that asks it, per haps does not bother to even get their | full name or find out how much they already owe in town.

and is never asked to pay, forgets the value of Money, buys more than he can ever hope to pay for without realizing it at first till it becomes a habit. Rais- es his standard of living far beyond his income gets the habit of promising to pay rnext week" (when is next week, please?) Now MT. Merchant, if man earns $150 per month His cost of living is $200, (not saving a cent for sickness or accidents, reduced wages, etc., at the ent of year he owes $500 plus doctor bills, etc. Now if he continues to live at this rate, How is he going to pay up his old bills this year and get square if he still continues to live at s200.
 You say, oh he's good for it He will pay someday But how and when?
 But what does he do? When he owes every merchant in Seward naturally he will not spend his cash in the stores where he owes money instead he sends his cash out of town, to the mail order houses Cover 65 per cent of the mail orders sent out of Alaskan Towns are from those who owe heavily.
 The Public has been educated to buy, not to pay.
 How does this effect the Merchants and the progress of Seward?
 It costs the merchants:-
 First-Cost plus overhead expense of goods supplied and not paid.
 Second-The cost to replace this stock on his shelves.
 Third-The loss of this customers cash business, goodwill and very like ly his friends business.
 Fourth-As a rule very old account becomes a disputed account, resulting in loss of money and creates bad feel ings.
 The city of Seward itself loses:-
 First-The money is being sent out of town to mail order houses. Second-The merchants ahe not CO., operating amongst themselves.
 Third-The public are not cooperat- ing with the merchants.
 Fourth-The tremendous amount of capital (money) tied up in old ac- counts. Bad debts makes the overhead expense so heavy that it keeps the prices up, and that money could be used for further developments in this town
 Fifth-That amount of money owed by people who have left the country is a dead loss both to the merchant and the city.
 The amount of money written of as bad debts in Uniteds States in 1921 ex- ceeded the fire loss by 15O per cent.
 A great many people vii talk of CO., operation, but it is comparative few who will actually do their part. They say ssure that's good idea, but let the other fellow go first, l will do It tomorrow" Did you ever see or hear or anything being done. tomorrow? The only cooperation that counts is what you, yourself, as an individual, will do today. Do Your Part, never mind the other fellow.
 The merchant should not blame the  public for not paying. It's up to him to collect. To educate the public to pay. Theories ideas and excuses are fine. But the only thing that counts IS RESULTS. A store whose collection | methods are lax do an injury both tc the customer and the community fol it results in a like carelessness on the 1 (continued on page p
