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. GftANTVILLE.
