GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO “GANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IT ISN'T SO EASY. PAY-UP WEEK. The best cure for the man who al- ways thinks that he can do things better than they are being done. is to try. At a meeting of the Bemidji Mer- chants’ association a short time ago the idea of having a Pay-Up Week in Bemidji was discussed. e Such an idea is excellent and should [ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ & ¥ & & X X ¥ X X ¥ X ¥ ¥ be carried out immediately after the | ¥ TALKS ON THRIFT. * holidays.

Everybody was surprised how busy that little round dollar was. It paid hundreds of dollar debts and finally got back where it started. If one dollar kept in cir- culation at home can do so much for a community, what if all the dol- lars are kept busy that way? Think it over. If you have fifty dollars in your pocket and you owe fifty dollars you know that the fifty dollars you have in your pocket are not rightfully yours. If you cannot afford to pay all of the fifty dollars that you owe, at least pay part of it. If you think that when you have money and you owe it, you have a right to retain it until you are good and ready to pay it, men who owe you money have a right to think the same way. It is this general proposition that Pay-Up week seeks to remedy. If you promise a merchant, if you promise a friend, to make good a certain sum on a certain date you should mean what you say. A man who would not think of breaking a social engage- ment will break a financial engage- ment or promise and think nothing of it. For years it has been consid- ered all right to take your time about paying a debt. This theory is all wrong. Pay-Up Week is a start in a gen- eral remedial plan. If worked properly it will prove one of the best things that this com- munity ever has had. Start today to talk ‘Week. Unless all signs fail, the one cer- tain result of the European war is going to be a general stimulus to [American industry. Our mills are running to full capacity; our crops are bumper ones; our banks are gorg- ed with money; our people employed at good wages and constantly shorter hours, making things for Europe to eat, to wear and shoot. We shall have great prosperity. ‘With prosperity comes the pro- moter, trying to get some of that prosperity without working for it. He will have great schemes to make you (and himself) rich. You first— then himself; (or vice-versa). Fakes by the thousand will follow the wake of prosperity, all seeking to separate you from your money. The warning is particularly opportune now: Be- ware the promoter. If you are offered any scheme to make money, take it to your banker. 'If it offers over six per cent, turn it down on general principles. The promoter finds poor picking when you take his proposition to the bank man. Ask the banker: Would you go into this with the bank’s money? And if he wouldn’t—don’t you. Years ago a Western concern or- ganized a bank and offered the stock broadeast. It was a clever scheme— a good scheme, and a profitable one. It had much merit and should have come to a better end. But it was too good, and the promoter could not stand the prosperity it brought him. Two hard working miners got in- terested and sought the advice of their banker. He advised against it. “But it pays ten per cent, and you only four; and besides, they say the stock will double in value in a year.” up Pay-Up MINNESOTA OPPORTUNITIES. (By Minneapolis Journal.) ‘When land in the cultivated part of Minnesota sells at from one to two hundred dollars an aere, there is a reason. The reason is produc- tiveness. The state has a little over two million people, of whom six hun- dred thousand live in Minneapolis and St. Paul. There is room for a quick placing of five hundred thousand people in the northern part of Minnesota, if the state would rouse out of its lethargy and get busy. The years pass—one, two, three, four, five, ten —without any practical move. The politicians twitter about drainage and other things, and that is all they do —twitter. How long: will the people stand it? The state needs leadership. The killing of parties has killed leader- ship. We send : individuals to the legislature who have no adaptability for leadership, and they pass on these great questions. The mind of many legislators is centered more on the breweries than on serving the state. ACT QUICKLY Delay Has Been Dangerous in Bemidji Do the right thing at the right time. Act_quickly in time of danger. In time of kidney danger Doan’s Kidney Pills are most effective. Plenty of evidence of their worth. Mrs. D. G. Miller, 313% Second St., Bemidji, says: “I don’t know what brought on the complaint I had, un- less it was hard-work. ‘I had back- ache and dull pains across my loins, which bothered -me- day and night. A tired, languid feeling robbed me of energy and I was-caused annoyance by the kidney secretions. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at Barker's Drug Store, -quickly relieved me of the pain in my back and toned up my kidneys. I am a poor hand to take medicine, but, when I feel signs of kidney complaint coming on, I use Doan’s Kidney Pills, and they do good work.” Price 50c, at all dealers.

To- day that stock lies somewhere in tin boxes, mute evidence of what hap- pens when you go against the advice of your banker. A certain steamboat captain never earned more than a hundred dollars a month, and yet in the course of twenty-five years he was able to raise a family, dress and educate them, provide a handsome home, clear of debt for them, and leave his widow with enough to support her in com- fort for life—all this on hundred a month. He saved half he earned. The secret may have lain with the wife, or with him, or with both; but the. result was there just the same. ‘What this man did you can do. He stuck close to the bank; bought his home and paid for it by degrees, car- ried a fair amount of insurance, never tried any schemes, and held fast to what he got. The really big things are not hawked about the streets like vege- tables. The .big deals are not for the ““dear public.” Henry Ford never offered his stock broadcast. A cer- tain New York undertaker (now bankrupt) did. Standard Oil never went with hat in hand, seeking those who would buy. Big things are for the few; little things for the many. You worked pretty hard for your money, and it ought to work for you; not overwork, but just keep comfortably busy. - It will work right faithfully, for compound interest grows apace; but if you work it too hard, it will, like- the faithful old horse, keep going for a time, but eventually fail you. Do not try the Corn Limpers! Use “Gets-It” and Smile! Corns Come Right Off, Clean and Quick ! You Needn't Limp, or Fuss With Your Corns Any More !
