He Broke Out of Debt Mr. Hittem Hard wound up in bankruptcy last week after a 7-year struggle with adversity and all U. quiet around his little store since the sheriff called. Mr. Hard went into the mercantile business in 19 and 23. At that time, he owned a 75' acre farm, but conditions became so bad in 19 and 27, he sold the farm to h'? wife for "5 dol- ( lars and love and affection."' His creditors never did learn what he did with the 5 dollars. */ N . Mr. Hard has nothing left now except his wife and*her automobile and her household goods and her children and her house and lot?which she bought with the money she made in the store. (She clerked on Saturdays.) The future looks dark for him, but he thinks mebbe they will move back to the farm. The oil company sent and took up his tanks. The scale agent reposessed his 2 pairs of computing scales. The cash register salesman levied on the cash register onner count of Mr. Hard skipping 2 payments. Bill Holdem claimed b months rent ami got that. The tax collector quizzed lolks and otherfc about the past due pledges to the Tax Commission. " i . ??
