AKE YO!'GOINCVX) JOIN VHKMI There are evidence? gathering tbat many farmers* arc going U> venture into the field of living at home this year, by which i? mount that they are wing to engage in the effort of trying to produce at home much <?f the food and foodstuffs that in the jxist they have been purchasing ami relying on cotton to pay the bill. One of the valuable features of this program U, that it also appears that they are going to have in a measure the hacking of bankers and merchants who are beginning to feel that their support is needed tp bring about this desirable revolution in the method of farming, Certainly the banks and merchants cannot hope to fare quite so well when the producers of the products of the soil are steady losers from year to year. Too much of other business is dependent upyn successful farming, and in the proj?ortion that funning results in failure, so there must l>e loss from other business as well. ,J It terms that it has been quite -uf ficientiy demonstrated through a long succession of years that t^ie uurrl av? of food and feedstuffs for use upo': I the farm instead of producing ,Uicm j there, is a ..it tidy li.-ing pr.-posit i< n j an<l t vnnot U- w >rk otluo.

PAY VOIR DEBTS Many people arc taking advantage of the financial depression by not paying1 their debts. Some ace not even trying to pay them'while otheis caitiKit. It more Colics Would pay their debts, business would be better. It's like a link in a chain, one pay-, Smother jmys. etc. It's a sad 1 ct that people as a rule are not a> prompt about paying their honest obligations as thev were ten or fifteen years aco. We need more common everyday honesty. The time is fast eoming when practically all busine-ss that deals with the public generally will be forced to go on a cash l?asis. This might be a good thing for bot'h merchant and < u>U>mer. Ask any retail groceryman who has gone "broke." about his accounts and see if he does not tell you that: "Too much credit ruined iftin." It will rum any business. No firm can meet its obligations that does nvt collect its accounts. When we srn folks dressed fine, riding in high priced cars, having servants, radios and many luxuries wo usually want to sec the books of tiherir groetpTyman, church treasurer and others to whom they might owe honest obligations. ?
