THE CASH HABIT.
Many people who complain of high
prices nnd other business diilicultics,
help exaggerate those conditions for every
one by their persistent buying on credit
Tlio credit habit adds to tbo cost of living
— it tie* up the country’s resources, nnd
in a drng on all business.
If evoiy person in Nownan would pay
bla debts for homo nnd personal sup
plies, "nnd hereafter pny cnnli, it would
. release n lot of local money now hold
up ui! credits, Tlio merchant who has'to
’borrow heavily to offset the debts tlio
public owe* him, could ,pay off those
loans. This would out out the charge
for'interest nud bnd debts which he now
bus Vo add to tlio prieo of his goods.
But even more Important, tt would ro
lonao many thousands of dollars to be
•nsed right around homo for business eu-
'.terprises, building houses, helping far-
hi era finance their next crop, etc. If
more money were available for loans nil
over tbo country interoat rates would
•Como down, which would reduce one 1m
•portant expense of production. Facto
rio* thnt had slowed up on account of
"high interest rates could go ahead with
tfull force.
The business disturbances of the past
year were due principally to a shortage
of capital. There was not enough money
in the country to do it* business on the
inilntcd price level. Conditions ure es
sentially sohud, since there is a good
banking nud currency system which pro
tects solvent business men, and stocks
«f merchandise are not heavy. Business
could go ahead with greater confidence
if the peoplo will provide the loanable
capital needed for maximum production.
There are two ways for such capital
to be provided. First, everyone to save
-anoney and deposit it in the bank; thnt '
Iway* nori-wtnry. Second, CTeryono to
quit buying on credit and pay eaih, so
ns to release unnecessary loons. Con-
ilering how this credit business costs,
it in a wonder people don’t »eo it. When
.oil make the dollar* work faster, you
accomplish n* much a* if there were
more of them.
EVERY READER °HAS A HAND IN
MAKING A NEWSPAPER.
Sometime*, perhaps, tho reader* of
Tho Herald think there i* nn item mim
ing from the paper which should be
there. There i* Just one reason why
it la not there—because the editor did
not know about it .
There is nothing that an editor likea
better thnn suggestion* which will make
hi* paper n better paper. Of course,
these suggestion* must be constructive
and not somothlnif like this:
An ir^o subscriber enters tho office
tho day after press day,'and fixing hi*
beady eye on tbo oil tor demands an ex
planation of why his wife’s sister’s
cousin dliln't get a w social notice.
She’s been in town three days,” he eon
eludes.
Yes, it does look liko a bad case
against tlio editor. Of course, no one
told him said “couain” was in town;
but ho is nn oditor nnd should have
known It; tlint’s wbnt he's there for,
to.
Remember friends, an editor is just
liko tlio rest of you, and bound to mnke
mistakes now ami then. But granting
thnt, no human ticing could cover nil tho
flniil which an editor is expected to covor
nnd not miss something occasionally.
Hniil n society editor, ‘‘Wo try to get
nil the porsonnls, but if somebody's
wifo’s sister’s cousin doosn’t arrive un
til about 10.30 at night, we can’t be ex
pected to know it unless you toil us about
it.”
Hore’s a suggestion to the reader:
If you have n party on tho same day
thoro happens to bo a funeral, a foot
ball game, nnd a runaway in town, just
to mnke sure thnt tho oditor knows it,
call him up and glvo .him the details.
The editor U just as desirous to have
ills paper full of nows as you nro to
find it that way.

By tho death of Mrs. G. W, Byram and

in sympathy to thoso whoso homes were
thus made desolate.
In April our president. Miss Laura
