ARE YOU SURE YOU OWE IT ?
You have h^d bills presented that you thought you
had paid, or for goods you know you had never
bought. Nobody but a Bill Collector realizes the
number of disputed bills there are the first of the
month. Of course, it’s somebody’s mistake. Goods
are often charged to the wrong customers; the mer
chant failed to credit your account when you paid
him. No matter what the reason, you don’t like to
have these things occur. Just try the Cash Plan in
the future and avoid all the objectionable features of
the credit business.
You pay a big interest for all che “accommoda
# tions” you get at the credit stores. Even when you
pay cash at a store doing a credit business, you
have to pay Credit Prices. The merchant charges
the losses from “bad accounts” to his cash cus
tomers by doubling his profits. That’s the only way
he can keep even. It payfe to pay Cash.

SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed
through man’s handi-work alone.
In this valley which is now com
fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
canals and open to settlement.
This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the\ acre of
large size and fine variety. Wheat
yields from 40 to 70 bu shels to
the acre with an averag ■ weight
sf 63 pounds per bushel. Three
•rops of alfalfa are rais ed each
season in the Snake Riv< r valley. ;
fhe climate is superb and of ^
freat value as a tonic I ,r mind j
and body. Home-seekers’ low
rates to the Snake River valley
are in effect via Union Pacific,
the only direct route. Why not
! visit this district in person and
| fully realize its great possibili
ties? For full information ad
