Borrowing is a bad habit, especially
II YOU don't pay back agen.
If you borrow often enough without
paying back, nobody won't loan you any
more, and then borrowing becomes @
useless habit
It takes 2 to make q dett, the one
that borrows it genrelly doing all the
hard werk, and it often takes the same
topay it back, ony then one that
lent it is libel to han to do most Of the
Werk.
If you owe another fellow q cent he
u always gladder to see you than what
you are to see him, altho on the other
hand you are genrelly more cheerful
than he is about the chances of him
getting it back agen.
Its more fun to borrow than what It
is to lend, but then on the other hand
its more fun to get q dett back than
what it is to pay 1t back. This proves
there is plezzure for everybody, ony
some of it is more unexpected.
The best way to get q dett back Is to
keep on asking the fellow every time
you see him If he's got that cents or
whatever it Is, thus making his life
more mizzerble while he still owes It
to you than what it would be If he
dident.
Sometimes your relations, such as
ants or grandmotherS, borrow you for
q few days to stay with them, being
one of the few detts where people are
Just as glad to pay back agen as what
they are to borrow.

BILLS ARE DUE

The first day Of the month arrives,
and can brighten many lives by pay
ing up my bills; I'll pay the plumber for
his plums, the dentist who repaired my
gums, the druggist for his pills. When
to the grocers repair. and buy a
kippered Goldfish there, bid him chalk
it down: 'T1I pay" tell him, ION the
LIST for all the fish and tripe and wurst
that may buy in town." The grocer
trust me for a while; he thinks my
word Is good, that when the promised
day appears I'll not be tagging in ar
rears, I'll pay up as I should. The
grocer needs his picayunes, he has to
pay up for his pruneS and keep his
credit fair; and II his patrons fail to
dig for what they bought of ported pig,
his soul Is in despair. He counted on
the promised dough, so he can pay what
he may owe, and If it doesn't come, he
thinks am an empty fake, my word
Is only good to break, my credits on the
bum. Much grief Is caused by needless
gents who do not pay the so cents they
owe to Tom and Dick; they wish to
burn up gas and ride, and so they let
such matter slide, and make good mer-
chants sick. The tailor has q careworn
face, the butcher sighs around his place,
because of unpaid bills; they trusted
John, they trusted James, and find
them playing stand-off games, and
empty are the tills. I will not cause this
sort Of grief, I'll pay the butcher for
his beef, the nnonger for his shears; I'll
pay up all bills on the LIST, so that no
merchant prince may burst into flood
Of tears. WALT MASON.

to drink beer If they want to. He has
had 1t proven to his own satisfaction
that mans capacity Is too small to get
drunk from drinking 2.74 beer. And he
thinks with profound conviction that
such beverage is the only thing that
can make possible enforcement OF the
eighteenth amendment.
Dyer has been crusading for beer q
long while-since the time the eight
zenith amendment was put into effect
He now believes that he is about to
see the fruition of his efforts.
Dyer represents part of the city Of
st. Louis in Congress. With the ex-
ception Of about one year. when he
lost in an election contest, he has
represented this district for the past 19
years.
His attitude is based on his observa-
ton of conditions there.
Before prohibition" he says, my
constituents had no use for hard
liquors. They were perfectly content
with beers and wines. Now those same
people patrontze SpeakeasieS and boot
leggers where they buy the vilest of
whisky.
And those who do not have the
money to buy whisky, have beer crock
going in their homes at all times, turn
ing out beer with an alcoholic content
that runs from 8 to 10 per cent. And
every member of the family from the
old man to the baby helps with the
brewing"
Dyer has his ITS beer proposal be-
fore President Hoover's law enforcement
commission. A few days ago he ap-
peered before this body and for an
hour and Q half explained it to them.
The Missourian believes that his pro-
posal for AIS beer viii bring the modi-
fcationists and those who insist on out
right repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment into the same camp. But If beer
u denied, he sees the modificationists

going over to those who would repeal
the amendment in great numbers.
"T@en," he asks laconically, where
will the drys be?"
Dyer says his proposal for light wines
and beers is the only possible way in
which the Volstead act can be nodi-
ned. He thinks 1t is the only plan
that can weather the courts,
known on the hill as one of the
sanest members of the wet bloc, Dyer
looks to the future with confidence.
His name Is familiar to many in
the United States who never heard of
his fight for ais beer. The national
automobile theft act bears his name.
The Dyer antl-lynching bill has kept
him in the public's eye for years.

These ferneries are made in three
