Expert on Credits in
 Wrangell
R. I. Robertson Is Discuss ing Collections and Bad
 Debts With Local Mer- chants and Businessmen.

R. T. Robertson. special rep resentative of the United Creditors Association, arrived on the S.S. Queen last Saturday and will be here until the S.S. Alameda calls in port northbound when he will take pas sage for Cordova. Mir. Robertson is touring the whole of Alaska, visiting every town with the object of organ izing the merchants into more stable methods of granting credit and col lectng accounts. So far as he has gone, every merchant and bank has become a member of his organization which is international and is the largest credit association in the world.
 Mr. Robertson has had a very wide experience in his work, having been practically twice around the world giving the credit problems very close study, and delivering many lectures in various cities.
 Mr. Robertson was a guest of the Wrangell Commercial Club at it's weekly luncheon last Monday. When called upon for few remarks on the subject of collections and bad debts, he said in part:
 Theories, ideas, and excuses are fine, but the only thing that counts is RESULTS.
 "The merchant has to pay cash for the expenses of his business, and for his stock of goods from the whole salers, who won't accept excuses, but demand cash for their payment. But the customer very often expects the merchant to accept his excuses instead of payment, and to continue supplying him with merchandise which he cant pay for, forgetting thatthi merchant must not only pay for those goods supplied on credit but must replace his stock as well.
 Some of the excuses offered for non payment are sickness (Haye they really paid their doctor and druggist cash for their servicesD Will pay next week (When is next week ? Have to pay some other bill first (Because some one else is a better collector and doesn't ac cept excuses.) Am hard up and have no money now (But very likely this customer has not been trading with the merchant he owes for long time and is spending his cash in other stores or sending out to mail order houses)
 When a man is in debt the best possible thing for him to do is to pay little on account today, little ev- cry week on a definite and set date and continue to do business with that store-THAT ALONE SHOWS HE IS HONESTLY TRYING TO GET SQUARE.
 When an account gets old the debtor does not want to pay He may try to dispute the account, and finally, when he owes a great deal, finds it cheaper to leave town-ad dress unknown.
 "The United Creditors association is not hard on those who show hon. est effort to pay, but the accounts of those who will not pay are adver- 'tised in the town in which the debt or is now living, and is sold to the highest bidder, so that some cash is realized on the account. This ap- plies to outlawed accounts, iudg- ments, and checks, which are all treated as the personal property of the creditors and sold as such. This is perfectly legal in Alaska, every State in the union, and in Canada

Roberts, drummer of the Kilties Band, who has few superiors These two popular entertainers will appear on Wednesday afternoon and Friday evening at the Chatauqua.

Chautauqua is a community en-
 terprise, and is maintained in a town or city by the combined effort of group of citizens who assure the Chautauqua of the sale of a suf- ficient number of tickets to cover approximately sixty percent of the cost of the program, the company de- pending upon the sale of single ad- mission tickets to meet the remain der of the expense. The local com mittee stands no chance of profit from the undertaking; it is entered into with the sole purpose of bring ing good entertainment to the town, entertainment of a class which can not be secured in any other way, for it is only by the union of a number of communities to form circuit that these artists and lecturers can be secured. The price of the season ticket in each town is determined by the number of tickets the committee think they can find sale for The total value of these tickets is the same in all towns, so that every town on the circuit receives the same program and on exactly the same terms. Citizens of Wrangell who appreciate the efforts of the To- cal Chautauqua committee in bring ing these programs to the town should give their assistance by pur- their tickets early in the week from some member of the con- mittee whose names appears else where in this paper.

Wilde and Villa
to Clash for Fly
Title Of America

New York, Sept. 17.-Jimmy Wilde,
Of England, worlds flyweight boxing
champion, has accepted terms for a
title contest in this country with PAN
cho Villa, Filipino sensation, who cap
tured the American fyweight title
last Thursday night by scoring
technical knockout over Johnny Buff,
the former title holder. This an
nouncement was made tonight by
Dave Driscoll, matchmaker for the
Ebbets- Mckeever Company, which
operates Ebbets Field. Villa already
has agreed to terms.
The date for the contest has not
been set, Driscoll declared, but he
considered it doubtful whether Wilde
could reach this country and get into
condition before the outdoor season
closes. He gave no indication where
he would stage the bout if held in
doors. The weight has been agreed
upon by the principals as 112 pounds
at o'clock on the afternoon Of the
contest.
Villa, Driscoll said, also has signed
an agreement to box Joe Lynch, of
New York for the worlds bantam
weight title, held by the latter. The
Filipino is confident he can duplicate
