WHAT IS CREDIT
• ♦M IH1H I ♦■>♦4 4 -H-H-M-M-M
Credit is the power to obtain jcoda
or Mr%ic« by giving a promise to P*>
Mt a specified date in tbe future. 1>*'
ut ttaeiefore undenttood that after a'l. I ^ ^ra
credit is only us good as the person
upon whom It pUe?« tbe obligation
to nuke future payment. The busi
nes« men of Drumright ®re co-ope rat
ing in the matter of extending credit
in order to protect people who pa>
their bills when they agree to
eliminate the ones mho do not. You
nerer miss your credit uutil it is
gone, so go alow. The wheels of th«*
collection department grind slowly.
but w< e to hiiu who must need* be
ground- A past due bill does not iffi
prove with age: so rid yourself 01
It. When in doubt, tell your merchant.
It lfl wiser to admit inability t me-
terms, than to make glowing promis-
es. Don't put off until tomorrow what
you can pay today. A receipted bill
is a sood recommendation; uiako It
a practice to get them regularly.
Prompt payment of bills by the gen
cral public will do much to resure
normal business.

$150,000.

stated Thursday. Nearly 25.0 '0 bush
tls of grain and fifteen cars of flour
were destroyed by the fire.

through dust explosions soon spread

before Bolotuon The l e*r thing about
America Is uot a mountain or a river,
a magnificent cliy. or a renowned ««*-
• ade, a noble building or even a great
man; th<* beat thing is the chance it
offers to en<-h oo a le\H with all to
make his way to the front and to win
a success «f th* right sort. (Hie who
Is sware of America and the privilege
of an American becomes very weary
of the talk of |M'M*lmi<its who rail at
fate l ecuuse their lot has been cast
iu with the manifest destiny of this
glorious land of ours. Jf they would
but look abroad, and If they could hut
realize how others yearn for tbe
blessed boon they acorn! To stricken
raees and to ) coplos (tending low un-
der the yoke of the bun lea of life
from day today It 1* Inconceivable that
an Amerh-aii abould he blind to the
blessing of his heritage.
In Switzerland they are learning to

gonaut. It is found that a man «hji

When a man t egiu* to dodge and
mold employment or shirk his normal
ll«ks he is llife« te<| with the germ of
sloth, lie bus nn ailment disea«e
that threaten-* to become chronic. So
ihe authorities step In, much as a due-
or would. They diagnos** tbe case,
rudy the symptoms, and endeavor to
place the man In some employment
where his capacities can be of service
to himself and his fellows. The germ
f lazineM is stunned with nn ax and
the patient is given a treatment In In-
lustry and thrift. a paternal govern-
ment is not to l e highly commended,
hut a country which could provide that
all citizens should work—nud at ta«k«
to which they \% re lie*t fitted—would
never have to worry much al out Its
future. Why not vaccinate against
idleness?
To some of our p«-« ple the ^tatlstl^a
f American Illiteracy are a little em-
bamissing. It seems that we an- the
only one atuong the gr -at nations in
which there is n high degree of Illit-
eracy. One man out of every twenty
iu tbe vast army we raised to mak**
ihe world safe for democracy—or de-
mocracy safe for the world—could
neither read uor write, whereas there
\as only one Illiterate in every
of the Gentian army, says the Indian-
apolis Stsr. Statistics a* gathered,
manipulated and doctored in some
quarters are far from being accurate
or dependable, it has been demon-
strated, lime atid again, that there art
occasions when- figures arr made to
lie. IWore accei tlng the "one out-of-
twenty" clasaitlontlon It may not coiue
amiss to confess hnving some lukliog
of Missouri Incredulity.
There Is something about th * cli-
mate of America that produces beauty
—beauty that surpasses nil known
elsewhere in the world. Our women.
Mlmost one and all. sre wonderful. In
some of our industrial centers the ev-
olution of beautv is well seen. Peo-
ple who come over to this country as
l ea*anrs, traveling in the steerage,
themselves not much to look at, have
b*ft n« heritages to fortune sons and
daughters who stand a« the highest
type of American manhood and wotu-
anho<sl. The peak of perfection seems
to be reached In the third generation
horn In this country, no matter wltat
the race. It Is at this stage that the
American beauty blooms.
It is said that the degree of doctor
of medicine has been conferred upon
General LudendorfT by a Oenuan uni-
versity, "because he saved so many
livei during the war." The Pittsburgh
christian Advocate remarks somewhat
• aiistlcly thn* the Xohel |>enee prize
has not yet been offered to him.
The American Par association
would institute requirements of two
years college work and three years
in a recognized law sclu o| as essential
to admiaslon to the bar. This might
not be so bad, provided that .'Id months
of the in la▼v school were concea-
trated upon ethics.
Farmers find tbe so-called "govern-
ment whitewash" excellent for feoeei
and outbuildings and very durable and
cheap. This, however, is not the same
whitewash u«ed by congressional in-
vestigating committees.

Plymouth. Kng , Feb 25—The Am
erlcan brand of prohibition is to*
revolutionary for the human race, ac
cording to a statement attributed to
George Harvey. American ambassa
dor to Kngland. by the newspaper
Western Morning News Friday. Ac
cording to this sheet, the sudden stop
age of all traffic in all akoholk
drinks was too violent for the habits
of the people in the oj r. n of thf
American diplomat. The statemen-
was attributed to Mr. Harvey that
"prohibition would lead to modifica
tion before it could be reconciled to
public opinion
Tbe ambassador was quoted as say
ing he preferred England's way of
dealing with the drink problem
through temperance, although he
would never vote for repeal of Ameri-
can prohibition. /Time and regenera-
tion will establish prohibition as one
of the inalienable principles of the
American government. Mr. Harvej
was quoted as predicting
Somehow, evcTy time we see the
expression about the freedom with
which a cat may look at a king, we
tjhink—trying hard not i f Mrs.
