AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
A PAYING POLICY
While the program for nation
al thrift week set apart only
one day for the observance ol
“Pay Your Bills Promptly,’*
business interests in one city
considered this phase of thrift
so important that they turneo
over the entire week to preach
ing this creed of good credit.
The week was also re-christ
ened “Pay Your Bills Prompt
ly Week.”
This campaign was not con
ceived and engineered as a
collection scheme. The busi
men sponsoring it expected to
benefit from it, but they also
saw in the plan profit for their
customers. Creditors financed
the campaign to the mutual
benefit of both creditors and
debtors.
Mercantile accounts are no\
carried for thirty days or long
er without expense to the busi
ness holding them. Until paid
every store account represents
an investment by the mercham
and is the equivalent of a cash
loan to the customer. Unlikt
other loans and investments,
however, these accounts do
not bear interest or pay divi
dends. This loss to the mer
chant is ultimately paid by the
public through higher prices.
Credit statistics indicate that
the great majority of people
pay their bills promptly, bui
the “good pay” must pay the
same prices as the “slow pay.’
It is another case where th$
many suffer for the few.

THE FULL PAGE AD.
As the newspaper man~looks
over exchanges coming from
various parts of the country,
he is impressed with the great
use that is being made of ad
vertising. The advertising
space used in newspapers hat
greatly increased.
Take the big city dailies, foi
instance. If you took the news
paper which before the war
used to run an average o'
about 16 pages, the chances
are that that paper will be run
ning today from 24 to pages
to 32. The enlargement is net
primarily due to the use of
more news, though the space
given to reading.matter has in
creased. The big share of the
increase is due to advertising.
It is interesting also to see
how many concerns and inter
ests there are that are taking
big ads of a half page or full
page, of two pages. The fact
that so may concerns are will
ing to put up the money for
this big display shows how
thoroughly standardized ad
vertising has become, and how
much it is depended upon foi
.•esults by those who use it
persistently and with judg
ment. Fortunes are being made
2very day through advertis
:nk, and by this means a multi
tude of business mean are ris
ing out of small and inferior
oositions into leadership in the
business community.

BETTER NOT SAY IT.
Bad news travels faster than
?ood news. There is an old say
ng, “No news is good news.”
Let a man be converted at a
:hurch service and there is
tot much of a stir, but let a
•esident be convicted of crime
ind the news leaps by word of
mouth from one end of the
community to the other.
How thoughlessly unkind we
;ometimes are when acquaint
mces of ours suffer misfort
me! Troubles are bound to
•ome to us all in some shape
>r form, and what we say
ibout others today may apply
o us tomorrow. News is no
•espector of persons.
We are prone to consider the
vays of others not our ways
when we should be watching
>ur own step. What folks say
>f one another sometimes
mrts more than anything they
:ould have done. News, either
rood or bad, grows and be
monies exaggerated and dis
torted with peddling. When
the news is good it makes no
material difference how it is
exaggerated or distorted-it can
never do anyone any positive
harm. But bad news given
wings, may bring sorrow and
ruin upon people who certain
ly are not deserving of a pun
ishment beyond the penalty of
their mistake.
More charity for others will
mean charity for ourselves
and we will gradually come to
tgke a keener delight in re
porting something good of
some person than something
bad. Good is constructive, bad
is destructive. Just before you
are about to let out a bit of
"bad news,” stop and think a
moment. See if you can’t think
of something good to say in
place of it. The chances are
ten to one that you can and
that you will.
Just for Fun
Now and then you see a fel
low who expects to become a
howling success by nothing but
howling.
Only a short time now until
we will be too sick to work
and too well to stay home from
fishing.
Only thing you can tell by
some watches is what time
it isn’t.
Gasoline was never so plenti
ful, so look out for an increase
in price.
Gold is one of the few things
.n the world that can be either
a disease or a remedy.
There have been candidates for
the “big job” who didn’t have
religion enough to embarrass
anybody.
It would be interesting to
know just what is considered
“ladylike” these days.
The present styles may have
their faults, but at least a
woman doesn’t have to spend
nearly so much time ironing.
The people who try to get a
good five-cent cigar, says the
Blueberry Kid, naturally get
roped in.
A “dull headache” may be
the result of a dull head.
When she was young
She got lots of kisses
But now she gets none,
For she is a Mrs.
“A lot of men, says Pete Wil
son, who graduated from the
school of experience, are still
paying their back tuition.”
People laugh at false faces
but false hearts are a tragedy.
Dave Mulcare says flattering
a fool only makes him more so.
An Up-To-Date Ode By The
Village Nut
Again the calendars appear,
Show all the week-days and
the Sundays;
Folks, why not a new kind
next year,
One on which all days are
“Fun-Days?”
How would you like to sign
up with me for a life game?
was the way the baseball fan !
proposed.
I’m agreeable, replied the;
I girl; where’s the diamond?

Some factory girls don’t
make any more money than
school teachers.
An easy loser takes from the
winner two-thirds of the joy of
victory.
Take it from us-the Gold
Dust tTwins know all the dirt.
Reading is to the mind what
exercise is to the body.
START TODAY
To economize on the time
spent in complaining.
; To mix a little more charity
: with your judgments.
I To spend more time getting
the other fellow’s viewpoint.
To depend more on yourself
and less upon others.
To look for the good in the■
most unpromising people.
To give your enemies credit j
I for good intentions.

| how soon life grows sweeter.

After all , all liars are not
golfers and fishermen.

A chicken never stops
scratching because the worms
are scarce. There’s a lesson in
that for some of us.
If you have real merit it will
get out on you, so you needn’e

freely than tlreir mothers did,
but appearances are against
him.
The man who thinks he can
not be foole^d already is.

takes cheerfulness for ignor

Sometimes the hit dog howls
and the hit cat growls because
they are hit by something they
saw in the paper, even when
the humble editor never so
much as thinks of them.
Gold won’t take the place of
baseball as long as most men
think golf scores are typo
graphical errors.
With eighteen hours a day to
worry about everything, some
people spend it all worrying
about how they look.
Here’s a bit of refreshing
news. The United States eats
almost $300,000,000 worth of
ice cream every year.
