The Other Fellow 1 Most of our worries are caused y the short-comings of the other I and you and I are the other I jAw. A large majority of the Ijople have forgot how to meet a [jromise. If every man's word was l< bond and his bond always fetched [ptr, this old world would indeed be ifit place in which to live. . I If we would carry out our promise wheh we say: "30 days after date, I promise to pay," wouldn't the bankers be sitting pretty ? Think how happy a merchant and his family would be if every customer paid his bills according to his word, and the preacher could and would preach better if we would do what we agreed \o do when he moved into our midst. When I>ick promises to meet an obligation, you can look for him a Mr. J. A. White Says, "If You Have An Automobile, Keep Rat-Snap/' "If I knew about RAT-SNAP last Winter, would have saved $120. My car was in the garage for a few weeks during the bad weather; when I went to take it out, found that rats bad eater, great holes In two hew~ tires. Got them later with RATSNAP."

A large majority of the deadbeats are deadbeats from choice: they prefer to get their "eating" by misrepresentation rather than thru the "sweat-of-the-brow" medium. Some folks think that they are too good to be asked for a settlement of an account. There's not much difference between the guy who pays "when he gets good and ready" and the. simp who never intended to pay. at all. If you want to find out who pays his debts, ask the filling station keeper or the meat market man. Lots of so-called good citizens evidently think it is a sin and a shame to pay gas and meat bills?and possibly coal bills. And another young fellow who knowjs all about your credit or your luck of credit is the little newsboy who totes your paper to you every evening or every morning, rain or shine, sleet or snow: if you won't pay him, you won't pay anybody else any better. And the milkman can tell you a little of the debt-dodging proclivities of your community too, if you happen to want to know. (Any person who ever had to fool with a Tmhch of old cows ought to pay Lhcr milk-man first.) Some real good people can't pay their honets debts. Sickness and calamity interfere, as well as lack of employment* crop failures, ?tc. Hut the man who is able U> meet radioH-ar-refrigerator installments, and tun ride everywhere he wants lo go, and doesn't pay Vis honest debts is just about as ^ood a citiaen as u chipmunk is a bull-fro*. My Life's History (Gainesville, (la., (Jet. ID, 1930. Dear Mr. McGce: 1 read your pieces every day. My mother and I live alone on a farm, and we enjoy all of your old-time experiences because they ring so true to life. Won't you please write u short history of your life and have it printed at an early date so that we may know you better. Your friend, Mrs. O. L. K. IJear Mrs. K.: 1 feel so sorry for anybody that lives on a farm at this time, 1 am going to oblige you by giving you a short sketch of my life. 1 was born on a farm, but that wasn't my fault, t was very young for several weeks and then took the hives. 1 had a cradle and 2 little dresses and knew how to suck my thumb in almost no time, I started off bow-legged and fairly good-looking, but out-grew both of these deformities. My hair was dark at first and then disappeared, but came back white, and remained white till I was 13 when I entered the fourth grade where I stayed till I was 16. And then pa moved too far from the school house. I was just an ordinary boy, but must have been rather bright as some of the older folks called me "smart Aleck," but my name was Gee from the very start. I followed plowing and hoeing and reaping and sowing till we got so poor somebody had to leave home and as I was the,sorriest hand on the place, they ran me off. > ?J kept on growing till I grew up. When I was 19, I made 25 cents a day working as a scare-crow in water-melon patches, and will make a much better one now, but water melons ain't famous like they useter be. I finally got married to a strange girl who knew very little about me and my past history, and we have got along fine as she is a brunette and good humored and has some sorry kinfolks too. Everybody works at our house except the baby and it takes both of us cleaning up after her. I have only 1 wife and 1 child at home now. I get up every morning about C and work about 12 hours as a wholesale merchant. And I go to bed at around _JJ?Pi?.Hi ?That's?all,?as I am now ready to go to bed. I hope you will like me better now, as you know me. Your true friend, Gee McGee.
