(June a bunch 01 newspapers
are making a feature of publish
ing tne news 01 the war a year
ago today." But the public ia so
blamed busy reading of -the war
today that it has no time to waste
even on that of yesterday.
It is quite true that it takes
money to make money, and it
also-takes a wise man to get the
money to make money with. Mas

Of course you are thoroly post

Of course we are all ' subject to
certain lapses of memory, but
there is one subject close to

February 21 to 26. .inclusive,
will be pay-up week all aver this
country, and every citizen is
presumed to walk in to his credit
ors and square up his accounts.
The good citiien will do this if
it is' within the bounds of reason
able possibility. The man who
fails to square up because he
doesn't care is not. worth furth
er credit and should not receive
it Business men are not allow
ed by their creditors to. wait
until Feb, 21 or 26V They must
forward their checks every
thirty daya or. their credit ia
shut off. It therefore becomes
a great hardship to the business
man when he ia compelled to pay
his own bills promptly and yet is
required to carry the accounts
of hundreds of people for inde
finite periods. We liave a lot of
faith in our people and we believe
they will walk right up and
square their little accounts" bet
ween the 21st and the 26th, and
we don't for one minute think
they will forget the editor in
their rounds. We have faith
that this will be one time when
they will not fail to think. 1
The World On Fire

on fire, and the conflagration fa J

thsn diminishes. With this fact
staring og in the face, one is
forced to five serious considerat

defense.. To do otherwise would
he like leaving one's wife and
babies at the mercy of s blood
thirsty mob. The American1
people do not want war, but)
there may cornea time when it

to place the country in s reason

it without a lot of political wire
pulling filibustering. If this
country IS fa danger Of invasions
this is not the time for senators
and congressmen to play politics
or build political fences. Action
ia what we need, and ' quick
action and to a definite purpose.
Congress has been fairly warned
of the dangers ahead, and the
man who trifles with the welfare
of hiacountry now will have s
fearful bill to pay when the day
