The man who started this annual affair was a -genius. He did the bus iness world a real service. . He ap preciated the (act that every fellow likea- to do t what the other fellows are! And he knew how much mora valuable a dollar Is to any community if It is kept going, kept at work. The aame dollar that you may use to pay one of your bins today, can be used to help settle a score of outstanding hills, by each recipient passing It on to one of his. creditors. The man who -pays his accoqnts monthly at regularly as the first of each month 'comes around, Is for tunate. He . has acquired a good habit. And .the man who takes ad vantage of this nation-wide move ment to square" up outstanding ac- counts once a year,' Is obly a little less fortunate. Nothing could help the general tone of. business in this city more than a wide observance of "Pay-Up Week" iy her citizens. And helping business -is helping -everyone In the city, helping the stafY.and n Hon. After all It Is the little things done by the multitude. - that eonut The single outstanding act, shrinks Into insignificance when compared with the aggregate results when a " large portion of the people do common thin. And what could -be more helpful both to the Individual and to the community, than a gen era! clearing up of outstanding debts? FIRE The fire at the Harvey home yes terday emphasizes the fact that Grants Pass depends. In a large mess ure, upon a volunteer fire depart ment. That It does Its work well speaks volumes for the personnel of that force. The time will come when the city must provide more generously for pitch an Important branch of Its service. The fire loss of this country Is appalling. Such loss Is entire waste and Is largely preventable by proper fire preven tion measures and sn adequate fire fighting equipment. That Grants Pass has not been visited with a moRt destructive con flagration is due largely to the zeal and faithfulness of a few young men who make np her Inadequate fire department. 8BCOMI LTIIKKTV BONDS ARK SFXMNt; AltOVK PAR New York.
