Credit is one of the great assets of our present-day system of busi- ness, but like many another good thing, it is sometimes abused and overdone; and because so many peo- ple are careless about paying their accounts, there are millions upon millions of dollars in outstanding ac- counis in this country today that could be paid without inconvenienc- ing the debtor, and if all these mil- lions of dollars were put into circu- lation during one week, there would be the greatest week of prosperity ever known in this country. While credit is a great thing, it at the same time becomes a tax when abused. The man who does not pay his debts pays a penalty or tax every time he buys a dollar’s worta of merchandise; but not only must he pay this tax, but the man who pays his debts is compelled to bear his share of this unjust tax—a tax collected in increased price on the commodities of life occasioned by the failure of the debtor to pay his bills. It is often said that the customers of the retail merchants who pay cash pay more for their merchandise than they should because they have to pay for what a deadbeat gets without paying, and there is much truth in the statement, too—the man who pays his bills, pays cash, does really pay more for the commo- dities of life than he should pay be- cause so many do not pay. National Pay-Up Week has its be- ginning in the little city of Wau- kon, Towa, a county seat of but little over 2,000 population at the end of a little railway in the northeastern part of the state of Iowa. Waukon is a beautiful little city, and a busy business center; but the people of that community are like the people in many another town and community —that is, some of them have, dur- ing the past years, bought goods for which they never paid, until the week of January 9-15, 1915, the principal of the high school, who happened to be secretary of the Commercial club, suggested that it would be a good thing for Waukon to have a day of reckoning, or ra- ther, a week of reckoning. The idea appealed to the business men of ‘Waukon, more particularly to the merchants who had considerable money in outstanding accounts. So the week of January 9-15 was adver- tised as Pay-Up Week, and during that time in this little city, over $50,000 in old accounts was wiped off the books of the local business houses. Everybody seemed to join in the spirit, and consequently all found it easy to pay their debts. And it is needless to say that prosperity reigned in that little town, for it means something to a town of 2,000 population to lift a debt of $50,000 in one week’s time, and especially when part of the debt is so old that it has been considered uncollectable. The results of Pay-Up Week at Waukon were so good that the Merchants Trade Journal, a national magazine read by all retail mer- chants in every town of any conse- quence in the entire country, told its readers of the success of the Wau- kon people in paying their debts and urged business men in other towns to give greater attention to their collections, and soon other towns be- gan trying the plan—all with splen- did. results. And now the entire .country seems ready for this extra- ordinary event of National Pay-Up ‘Week. Our credit is national in its scope. The manufacturer extends credit to the jobber, the jobber carries the re- tail merchant, the merchant in turn extends credit to his customers, and, therefore, every business interest: should be interested in a National Pay-Up Week.. If local people in the:preacher, the grocer her merchants, and the it a point to pay the \d‘ the jobber, and the | wholesaler to pay the manufacturer during this week, February 21-26, there would be more dollars in cir- culation in this country than were ever started moving during the same length of time. A good slogan to be used from now till. National Pay-Up Week would be, “You pay your bills—I will pay mine, February 21-26.” Bemidji Pay-Up Week, Feb. 21 to 26. NATION-WIDE BABY WEEK. The ‘number of communities that are seriously attacking the problem of infant mortality should be greatly increased in 1916 by the nation- wide observance of March 4 to 11 as Baby Week. Successful baby weeks have been carried on in several cities since the first one was held at Chicago in April, 1914. But never until now has there been a nation- wide movement for a baby week in cities, towns and villages, in every state in the Union. In every case the local baby campaigns. have re- sulted in more active and enlighten- ed community work for infant wel- fare and in a wider understanding by mothers and fathers of the fun- damental principles of infant care. The state health officers of forty- one states have expressed their in- tention of co-operating in Baby Week. Many of the state health de- partments already have admirable pamphlets and traveling exhibits for use in their own states and circu- lars of information concerning the practical details of a baby week campaign may be secured free of charge from the Children’s Bureau of the United States Department of Labor at Washington. “What is spared in money is spill- ed in blood.” This utterance by David Lloyd George in the House of Commons is a complete statement of the meaning of preparedness for national defense. England was not prepared when the war was started and has had to pre- pare while fighting. If old Uncle Sammy is to look around for a new manager of his business for the next four years. it would seem that it would not re- quire much reflection to decide that a republican administration is pre- ferable to the present regime in the ratio of 16 to 1. DOGTOR SAVES A BLAGKSMITH Some time ago I was taken with kidney trouble which caused me to give up my work as blacksmith. I lost my appetite and could not sleep, from the dreadful pains that would come over me, from my kidneys. I was treated by a physician for about three months. He could not help me so finally he preseribed Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. I started taking same and before I had finished taking the first bottle I began to eat and sleep better than I had in a long time. I continued to take same until I was entirely cured and took on consid- erable weight. I am now back working at my trade again and never felt better in my life. I appreciate what Swamp- Root has done for me and will rec- ommend it to anyone who suffers with their kidneys. When physicians fail to give relief and then prescribe Swamp-Root, they sure know of its merits. I am, Very truly yours, S. A. HALE, Henrietta, N. Y. State of New York ) )ss County of Monroe ) S. A.
