Everybody get in line for Pay-Up Week to be held in Bemilji Feb. 21 to 26, during National Pay-Up Week. The neglect to pay a bill, in nine cases out of ten—yes, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred—is due to carelessness. Very few men mean to be dishonest. The country has had its Clean-Up ‘Weeks. It has had its Paint-Up Weeks. It has had its go-to-church Sundays. Now there has been in- £ stituted in many parts of the country a Pay-Up Week slogan. The idea 1 seems to have hit a popular chord. Do your part in helping along the good work. Communities which have taken up this slogan and carried it out to a finish have marveled at the results. It has brought unusual prosperity in its immediate wake. What has been accomplished in other communities can be accom- plished in Bemidji. Everybody pull for Pay-Up Week. Look your neighbors in the eye. Get the dollars in circulation. Pay up every penny you owe. A You’ll find that if anything is owed you it will be forthcoming. Paying up, paradoxical as it may appear to some, will be a cheerful process. Your conscience will be clearer. Your slate will be clean. There is nothing like setting a good example, ‘When you pay your debts, others will pay theirs. Prompt payments stimulate business. Be a business stimulator. Do your part to make Week a success. Pay up your debts, Others will pay theirs. A long pull and a hard pull for Pay-Up Week in Bemidji, Feb. 21 to 26. Pay-Up A BOOSTER’S CREED. ; “I believe in the efficiensy of boost- H ing. i “I believe that I live in the best | state in the bets country in the world. “I believe that it should be my duty as well as my desire to boost my state whenever opportunity of- fers. “I believe that I should let others know how good it is. ) “I believe that to boost my state is one way of showing my apprecia- tion for my enjoyment of its great resources and advantages. “I believe that the best way to meet the knocker’s knock is with a boost. “I believe in boosting my friends. “I believe that one way to do good in the world is to boost. ‘“ ‘Boosterism’ is my creed.” i = i GOOD APPOINTMENT. Governor J. A. A. Burnquist yes- terday made the first appointment since becoming chief executive of this state and it was a good one. In fact for the good of the office he could not have picked a more cap- able man. The appointment was for the 19th judicial judigeship and J. C. Nethaway, assistai.l citorney general was the man named. § 4 i | Gasoline is going up. Gasoline men place the burden of responsi- bility on the crude oil men. An in- vestigation is asked for by Congress- man Steenerson. He is on the right track and should be supported in his move against this evil which af- fects all sections of the country. Must be another Indian treaty or a treaty of some kind. A ban by Henry Ford has been placed on the drinks for his peace party. Colonel Roosevelt describes him- self as the kind of a man which the water wagon' o] will not be nfle%fl} gasoline, J. W. T. Mason, United Press staff correspondent, writes that Great Britain’s con- scription bill is not the re- sult of failure of volun- tary enlistments. KK AKEKK KK KKK KK KKK Great Britain’s conscription bill cannot be regarded as the result of the failure of voluntary enlistments in the British democracy. The vol- untary system has not failed and it would be a serious mistake to inter- pret the conscriptionist measure as a criticism of democracy, reluctance to offer itself freely for the sacrifice of the battlefields. Nearly six million Britishers either have volunteered for the army since the outbreak of the war or. have at- tested their willingness under the Derby scheme to respond when called to the colors. In all the other bel- ligerent countries compulsion has been used from the beginning of hos- tilities. Only in. the British empire has service been left to the free choice of the citizens. The millions who have volunteered responded to the British call compare fully with the size of the conscript armies of the other warring nations in proportion to population. The conscriptionist measure now before parliament will add compara- tively few men to British military strength. A maximum is 500,000 and this number may dwindle to 250,000. The main purpose of the bill is not to make decisive increases in the size of the British fighting forces. It is rather a measure to enable Premier Asquith to keep his promise to married men that if they volunteered to enlist, they would not be called upon to serve until the supply of single men had become ex- hausted. If the conscription measure be- comes law, the drafted bachelors will be sent to the firing line before the married men who have volunteered under the Derby scheme. It may turn out in fact that conscription ap- plied to single men will make it un- necessary for the elder heads of families who have volunteered to serve at the front. Conscription, in reality has not been proven essential as a military measure for the British empire and whatever danger exists of the defeat of Mr. Asquith’s bill centers in this fact.
