, A GOOD THING
Wa all know that thla U "Hoover
Week." But do wa all know that
It Is also "Pay-Up Week."
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.
