Whoever coined the "Let George do it" stunt hit the Ameri can people in a soft spot. Right in l,a Grande and Union county, where the best people in the world live, there is a "Let George do it" spirit that is decidedly shocking. Duck the responsibility mid get in the clear.

By this we mean the man who has the courage to stick through adversity; the fellow who can see his granary, with wheat melt away in value like a piece of ice in Florida sun; who can see the interest rates advance and bis principle go downward; who can see the days of blissful enjoy ment turned at once into days of work, with a period of several years ahead of him in toil before he can expect to gel even and pay up everything.. That, readers, is the .''hold on" man, and he Is going to be worth his weight in pure gold to this nation. He is going to he. the man who saves the country, who rises to the emergency, who makes the shrimps of nothingness, scamper along and either go to work or sail for foreign lands. The "hold on" man is the safe farmer, the safe merchant, the RaTe hanker. To him these debts mean something of a. serious nature and he takes the stand at once that they have to be paid Inil he demands time in which to pay them. 'I'd him there is no such u thing as repudiation, there is no such a thing as bankruptcy. He is Ihe man who shoulders ihe load. and with weaving knees and scooped shoulders plods on his way while Ihe dapper little cuckoos, anil the dear boys of. ease, ; fly like a band of butterflies when a wind storm arises. The Observer doubts if the "hold on" man is much of a smiler. We' think he is a serious chap, but, so safe and essen tial. Vc cannot imagine him a chattering, smiling, giggling monkey man, playing pranks like a jester for lliti king, but. on the other hand, we see him in remarkable firmness, with teeth closed tightly, .a kindly light of hope in his eye, li udging on, car rying civilization'", load. . .
