XEW YEAH RESOLUTIONS PAY YOUR DEBTS FOR ninny Coos Ray persons tho happy Now Year's day is turned Into ono of mourning by tho flood of January 1 bills, Whila nomo people overy month clean up nil accounts, yet a largo number of tho Jnnunry 1 reminders will bo thrown Into tho wasto basket, many of them with envelopes un broken. A habit, ot paying builds up a community. Sottling tho grocer's account makes him nblo to pay tho butcher tho 'latter can then pay tho plumber, and so on. Tho nim bio dollar onco rclensod from tho tardy lmnd of tho debtor flics around tho business soctlon, creat ing hopo nnd confidence. With old accounts cleaned ut. merchants feel liko undortaklng now ontorprlscs. This moans inoro work to do, moro peoplo to rccolvo wages. It Is surprising to know tho num ber of peoplo having plenty of mon ey who mnko It a practlco to let bills drift along for months or years, whllo tho struggling merchants whom tlioy owo skimp nnd shift to keep their heads nbovo water. GOOD NEW YEAR'S RESOLU-TIOXS I WILL bo good, but not so good thnt my neighbors will wnnt no thing to do with mo. , I will bu Industrious, but not so Industrious that I shall havo no time to bo interested In tho wclfaro or tho neighborhood. I will bo Boclablo, but I will not eosslp, nor will I tolorato gossip In my prosonco. I will bo genorous, hut I shall not oxpoct recompouso In kind from ov ery ono of my neighbors. I will bo cnutlous, hut not suspi cious. ', I will bo kind, but will romombor that kindness somotlmcs hurts. I will bo truo, but I shall romom ber thnt, thero is much truth which is to bo kept to myaolf. I will bo honest, and will romom bor tlinn houosty moans paying back tho monoy borrowed from wlfo or children. I will bo prudont, but I will novor mnko prudenco an exctiso for cow ardlco. I will bo Interested In politics, but I will bo tho political slavo or no man or party. I will lovo my homo, but I will nlso consldor tho comfort or my Hir ed man's or tenant's family. M. 0 Rambo, Swear otf tho pompous nlr of pride, Swear off tho truthless art -of posing; Swonr on opinions, big nnd wide, And with tho grim old year that's closing. As bigots, let us ccnBo to bo Held fast by self idolatry. Swear off tho narrow thoughts that bind, And hold us as tho oxen's collars: Swear off tho littleness of mind, Tho narrow worship or tho dollar, And come to sco, as como wo must, Thnt lifo Is but n common trust. Swear on moro patience with tho slow, And moro or kindly toleration For thoso who may not chnnco to know Tho wisdom or our higher station, Dcliovliig that in every test Tho weakest mortal does his best. Swear off tho haughty, scornful snoer, Tho cynic hnblt of derision. Tho thought thnt wo nro norrcct horo And othors lack such flno pre cision; Swcnr on n creed that wo can use, And still respect nnothor's vlows. Anon. ,, A DVKKTIS1NG pays.

"Tho man who does not advertise is tho ono who bears tho expense of thn ntlmi- fnllmv'n rnnnmlmi: that is to sav. that ndvertlslnir ho reduces the cost of distribution that tho advertiser sells moro goods nt less expense than tho non advertiser. These wero some of the statements of Charles F. Morg, of Portland, who spoko boforo tho class In advertising at the State University. "The Economic Justification or Advertising" was the title of Mr. Berg's discourse. "Does advertising pay?" This was the current running through tho theme and tho spenkor back ed each romark nnd statement with an nbundnnrn of fnrtn u-iilnh nmvmi Lconcluslvely that advertising through tho columns of tho daily newspaper, i-'unouicai nnu magazine is promnuio- ror tno ndvertisor. Tho valuo or an advertised brand, n trade mark, a nnmo that has been p'need bororo tho public In such a way that overyono knows tho nrticlo and knows that it stands for superiority in that particular article, was one or tho values or skillful advertising on which Mr. Borg inld great stress. The success or largo companies who had put tholr wares on tho market was given nB nn illustration ot consistent ndvortlslnir. Annually millions or dollars' worth of labor-saving machinery nro sold through tho medium or tho press." In pointing how valuablo Is advertis ing to tho man or rural districts, through tho columns or his weekly nnd his metropolitan dally, plus tho pages of periodicals and curront maga zines, Mr. Borg said: ' "Farmers havo growing needs to bo supplied nnd thoy havo money to spond, yet thoy can neither supply tholr needs nor spend tholr monoy at !n , f ft nmm,fftct"r,cr t0 "d salesmen to call upon tho farmers would bo slow and expensive, but tho press brings the manufacturera' mes sages to millions or farmers and the mails take tho orders to the rnctory, Whero tho sunny and demand lo rn.ni..ii1,.,1 .- .. .......

YOU KNOW HIM to got down to work early ho would Just ns soon do It. Tho fact that n Coos Bay man Is downcast doesn't necessarily mean that ho Is In troublo.
