The odds are all in favor of Kansas, the unique state - of the nuion, Wisconsin has asserted a claim which must be recognized. There is, according to the Postal Guide, a town near Lacrosse which is indexed Waukon. In this little town an ordinance has been pass ed and is being enforced which might interest the rest of the country. A day is set aside every year and is designated "Bring-It-Back-Day. " Tho s e who i borrow money, those who borrow property, those who borrow anything of a bor rowable nature, are supposed on this particular day to bring it back, and if they do not comply with the municipal edict the town marshal goes after the borrowed articles and brings it back any waythat is, if he N can get it. In Kansas the "Pay-Up-Week" celebration has been a fruitful success and this week of the 52 almost everybody who is in a position to make restitution does hia and her best to do so. Debt is the secret foe of thrift. The debt habit is the twin brother of poverty, The great trouble of the country is the credit system. An unknown man with scarcely and trouble, obtain credit .

To keep clean in the eyes of the world, operate on a cash basis. This is not always possible. Some people have to depend on credit to exist, but when they are in this position they must understand that they are standing on the brink of dis aster. In these two laboratories of thought laws have been enact ed which may seem foolish, but there is logic in both. In neith er case will the laws be held con stitutional, but at the same time they encourage some people to do the right thing and pay up. A small debt, many argue, pro duces a friend. This is why credits are so easily obtained, but it must be remembered that a large debt creates an enemy. The pay-up-week idea and bring-it-back day in Wisconsin are not so foolish after all. There is so much method in such leg;slation that is should not be ridiculed. The first step in debt is like the first step in falsehood. It must be followed up until one is hope lessly involved. Pay up, bring it back, keep yourself clear. The way then will be free of obsta cle's. Miss Alda Sharpe of Pleasant Ridge is spending this week in the home of her grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Sipes near Hustontown. TO PEOPLE Bring your brains here and turn them loose in our GROCERY department.
