CREDIT AND BUSINESS.
'Modern business is based in
great part upon credit. Big
u; I ness and a’l branches of
business are conducted on a
ci\ dit basis. It therefore fol- j
■: 'v.. u.at when credit fails
i i,’s ss will fa'l It is in j
i/w.'iiie.ss secret thu the chain'
credit ex'end3 all the way
down from the source of raw
materials to the ultimate con
.“timer. Everybody uses credit.
The manufacturer, the mer
chant, the farmer, the custom
er, all are borrowers.
Business benefits from credit,
of course, or it would not
grant it, but the public also
reaps rich benefits from lio
eral credit. Automobiles, fine
furniture, good clothing radi
os. pianos, phonographs and
many other quasi luxuries are
possible for most people oniy
through credit. If the credit
method of merchandising is to
endure those who receive tut
benefit from it must fulfill
their contracts. That this has
been done is evident from the
fact that he great majority
of peopie who buy on credit
pay their debts promptly.
A cardinal virtue of the
American peopie is the honesty
they exhibit in their relations
with their fellowmen. rCo
greater insult can be heapeu
upon the American than to
brand him “deadbeat.”

LESSONS OF LIFE.
A philosopher once said that
every person should go to the
cemetery at least twice in life.
Once at the end of life, and
first early in life to reflect on
the brevity of life and the in
sufficiency of worldly gooas.
There is no place like a quiei
graveyard for meditation and
there is room in every life foi
more serious thought. The
mmbr,tones hold a moral for
all living. There is inscribed
the human virtues, but among
the inscriptions there is no
record of estates left behind, “
fortunes made and spent and
worldly fame attained. The
magnitude and sculpture of
the stone or the vault alone
remain to remind the world of
"the boast of heraldry and
the pomp of power.”
Why should human beings j
worry and struggle through
life’s fleet span in pursuit of
wealth, fame, luxuries, vani
ies and all those other evanes
•ent things we choose to can
•iches? The poor are distress
d by too little money, ttu
moderately wealthy by the
hought that others posses*
more wealth than they, and
‘he rich by too much money, j
The Garden of Paradise was
naradise only so long as Adam
md Eve entertained no
hought of worldly things.
There were no pestering bans
Accounts, troublesome serv- ;
ints, expensive automobiles, I
business worries and social I
and fashion detractions in'
Eden. Few people have learn- j
Ad the secret of living well.
Most of us measure content
ment in terms of dollars and
?ocial position. The number is i
negligible which views life as
a gold opportunity to work
ind think and be joyful.
MANLY PULCHRITUDE.
Women have become accusi
; imed to the charge that they
! ire spoiling their beauty, eith
i 2r by paint or powder, or by
trenuous exercise, which is
] destroying their roundness and
oftness of the feminine con
our. They have heard these
hings so often they have be
ome indifferent to them and
eep right on decorating
hemselves in whatever way
>ncy dictates.
3ut men have been indiffer
at to more facial beauty, the
eneral opinon being that
hey have no time for such a
' rivial consideration; and this
| indifference has been increas
ed perhaps by a tradition
that the uglier a man is the
more he appeals to woman
kind— perhaps through their
pity. So it must be a rude j
awakening for men to learn
that in the opinion of one of!
the best known clergymen of I
England, Dean Inge of St. |
Paul’s cathedral, the degenei- j
ation of the male countenance
is such as to cause alarm. The
dean asks what is the matter
with the faces of our men to
day, and he adds that they
seem more at home among the
pygmies. He compares the
countenance of the leading
men of today with the “mag
nificent countenances” of the
Victorians. Of course there
hae been men to come to de
fense df the masculine pulchri
tude of today, but so far the
'dean seems to be having the
best of the argument.

DIG DEEP.
Dig deep if you would have ;
the richest treasures. One may '
wash fine gold dust from tiit
surface sands, but the heav^
nuggets are found buried deep
in the gravefe. Those wrtu
would find diamonds niusi
move mountains of earth.
The profoundest beauty in t,
great painting,(or the work oi
sculpture, and the raresi
•ewel of wisdom on the print-1
id page will not be found or.
the surface. Art does not sur
render its true self to those
who will not “drink deep.” I
One may wear gold and jew
ils without descending to “un
fathamed caves” or burrowing
mdergi'ound, but for the ricn
ist treasures in literature,
minting, music and sculptuie
me must do his own prosperi
ng. Others may create it, but
he individual must discover n
or himself. Art is the one
absolute commonwealth. Tno
he common property of all, n
is enjoyed by the few. Num
bered among the natuarl re
iources of the earth are coai,
?as, and the various minerals.
Vrt is an artificial resource
but of them all, it alone is in
3xhaustible.
What applies in the field of
art and treasure-hunting is
equally applicable to more
workaday affairs. Deep dig
i ging pays in business, industry,
labor, housekeeping, farming
or study. In modern phraseol
ogy this universal truth is
; expressed in the counsel of the
experienced to youth to “get
out and dig” if it would ac
complish something in life.

A Ketchikan store in printing

Speaking of holidays, as some

While having tea one day,
father was explaining to the
family how, when he was a
boy, he only got cakes for tea
once a week and what long
hours he worked and so on.
Little Tommy listened attent

“Well, it seems to me daddy,
you have had a pretty good
time since you came to know
