I'VE heard not long ago that a
friend of ours in business, had been
swooped down upon by his creditors, all
sales stopped, and the key turned in
the front door.
TOO bad" said his friends. "We
expected that" chortled his enemies.
No doubt both were right, with neither
realizing the part they contributed.
For our friend was a shrewd business
man. He bought carefully and sold
reasonably. He was not given to riot
Gus living. He was on the job all the
time, all day and far into the night.
What then, had brought disaster upon
him?
We began looking around, and We're
not long in finding the cause. Upon
the books of his business, were charge
accounts to total several times the
amount this man owed his creditors
He had, perhaps, been a poor collector.
But the real trouble was that he had
too much heart. He trusted man for
groceries because he knew the fellows
wife and children were hungry. He
gave credit on machinery because he
hoped its purchase might put the
buyer on his feet for greater ac-
complishments. It was not the mer-
chants fault that his patrons did not
pay their bills. But now he must bear
the cross, and probably endure the
sneers of some who contributed to his
misfortune.
Oh no, bless you, these good people
are not thieves, they would never
have thought of breaking through
and stealing. They would not think
of going into the store and picking
up an article and walking out without
paying for it. But they would have the
merchant put it on the book and then
never pay for it. In few cases the act
was probably Intentional. It was a
matter of getting, not of paying. You
tell us the difference, we haven't the
heart.
There is no finer trait of human
character, than that of never forgetting
that debt honestly incurred should
be paid. Credit extended is a mark of
confidence in the purchaser, and its
abuse black mark hard to erase
During the depression period, the
business man has been the unsung hero
of the hour. He has helped the needy
beyond reasonable expectation. He has
fed and clothed hungry little children.
Each year he has marked off his losses,
seen his savings capital dwindle, and
hung on with a grim determination,
hoping for better day. It seems
about to come. Those who have sur
vived the storm, need no further COM
mendation. Our friend didn't fail!
His patrons failed him!-Deer River

handling the car-all of these add to
the dangers of Sunday driving.
More oars are crowding our highways
on week-ends of course, but because
OF this added congestion we should pay
more attention to our driving habits.
1t can be done by careful handling of
the car and paying strict attention to
road conditions and watching the road
at all times.
Believe or not and strange as it may
seem, the Sabbath is the most unholy
OF days when it comes to deaths from
automobile accidents.
