Hopest Men Pay Their Bills Promptly (II. W. Crouch in Balud* Standard) Some people make debts or borrow money to aid them in their bugincsl. j Probably all, when they make debt* or borrow money, mean to be honest and pay in full. Sometimes our plans miscarry ojf hard luck befalls us and makerf n impossible to Ik* prompt in ttya payment of what we owe. But no HONEST MAN ever becomes indifferent to what he owes. If he is really HONEST he will never stop doing his best, (and that means a great deal) to wipe out every honest and just obligation. Framing excuses does not satisfy an HONEST MAN. No EXiCUSK ever pays the debbs of such a man. Only the c<iin of the realm, and one hundred cents on the dollar, will satisfy him. Others may be satisfied with an excuse, or with dodging, or grow indifferent, but no HONEST man will ever be found in that category. And then, too, can a man cpunt^ himself honest who owes money and is not willing to work harder, live on less, sacrifice and cut to the bone, and do without, even until it really hurts, in order that he may meet his obligations ? Some people are facing the test of their lives. They owe money and are trying to smother their consciences with some excuse. They are unwilling to-ride less, to spend less on themselves, to quit burning gas, to do on less in the way of clothing or for pleasure. And then again, the statutes of limitations never run against the debt of an HONtEST man. Such a man's debts are never outlawed. He may have to make sacrifices, many and for a long time, in order to pay what he owes, but he is willing to do it, and will do it, rather than go through life with a conscience lashing him and accusing of being dishonest! That there has been a "slump" in recent years in regard to debt-paying by a large class of our people, is one of the'terrible revelations of the present day. Thexe are those who owe for their groceries, their shoes, their clothing now worn by the members of their families, their obligations to some bank, who are spending what they make buying gas and oil and keeping up an automobile, running about the country, and' are apparently utterly indifferent to these obligations. Are such honest men? Can they claim to be honest? Old Pope said: i u I i i "An honest man is the noblest work of Cod." It would be a mighty timely doctrine for our preachers to thunder from their pulpits; for perchance it might be that some old rascal, who ever and anon takes his place in the front pew, might be brought to realise that he is as big a sinner as some poor devil he denounces for making or selling bootleg whiskey. Hold Evening Classes at Blaney j Blaney, 8. Sept. iit>.?The farmers of the Blaney community, under the direction of P. B. Waters, the agricultural teacher of the Blaney I school, have been studying small grains for the past three weeks. The varieties of oats, the date and the | rate of seeding, and the treatment for smut were studied. The appler or some strain of the appler gave the highest yield of any varieties in the test and the Fulghum was the next highest variety. The yields when the oats were planted on October 16 were trie greatest. In a 10 year test at Athens, <ia., the yield on this dats doubled the yield when the oats were planted on November 15, From i to 3 bushels per acre gave the highest yield for rate of seeding. The conclusion was drawn that there was i no doubt but that smut could be controlled on oats when they were treated with formaldehyde and ihitf' at,/# very small cost. The cost of treat-' ment being less than two cents per bushel. ( i i . ? The fact that some of the 5S| practices could be changed tie or no coat was one of thi|H standing pointa in the* jjlp Such changes aa varieties, planting, and treating for amutlfe be made at very little-coat snBfc may increase the yield oati*ffi siderably.
