What is the explanation for the
failure of so many shop keepers all
over this country, at least tlie ureal
number of suits brought against
such people by creditors? That
there are more of such than normally
took place, is proven by a search
of the court records, where judgments
have multiplied lately.
In most of such cases it is found j
that the business was run for the
last two years on the credit plan,
more or less. In cases where sales
were made only for cash, or good
security, there is no hint of failure
so far as investigations went.
During the last two years, let us
say until some time this year, everybody
had a good credit. The shop
Keeper Mad the best credit with the
wholesaler. The keepers of the
shops extended this to their customers,
and when accounts became due
they could not enforce the collection
of them. In r'l cases where the
merchant put out too much in proportion
to t'ip amount of cash business
done, there was a great shortage
of money, in his case, and a I
great shrinkage in the value of assets
as hook accounts in the best
of times should not he valued at
more than twenty-five per cenl
where they have been running on
the books for a long time and are
badly mixed up. Where the coun-i
try or the town retailer, either ,put
out too much on time accounts, al - |
though secured by crop movt
the loss was too much for him to
stand, and in cases where ho had no
resources outside of his little store,
the result is a failure, or at least a
judgment.
Tn all times there are men who
will take all of the credit that
another wiP extend them. Just the
same way there are men who do not
need, or do not want credit. Those
who have money ahead to tide them
over a hard time, hardlv ever go to
the time man for supplies out trade
at the stores where goods are sold
only for cash.
In these facts we think we have
found th? reason for the large number
of failures and judgments. The
trouble extends of course to other
classes of men as well as merchants.
In some instances "farmers
nave prone too far into debt and find
themselves unable to pay. The result
is a lot of judgments entered up
against them already, or it may be
that in the eases of some, the suits
have been started and will result in
judgments finally.
The inflation of war times has
brought this about more tlvxn anything
else. It will bo a number of
years before normal times will return
for some of the people in this
country.
o
AVhen tiir.es are good there are
men who will ask you to endorse
their notes so they can cot money
to carry out some wild scheme
which they represent as b-'iruv the
only thing in their lives that will
bring them out of thp ruts. When
times are hard tho same thing occurs.
There is not onr? man in a
thousand, who is ever benefitted bv
the endorsement of m friend. Rather
he is permanently "n'ured. for be is.
encouraged in denepd'pg up* >t'ier
for ready eash that needed and
made to save it no from his own
efforts and labor. It is bad for both
parties when a n-?te is endorsed.
Don't a sic it on the one side, and
don't do it. oven it. is jmkcd on
the other side. This is tin' host
rule to follow and if it is it will
slop many a difficulty.
There is plenty of business for
those who want to do it and mean
to do it. Thor-? is none for the man
who doos not want it :,,->d th"?vc

class of man w ho i aN ay hard un

Luck of appreciation has caused

'the appreciation, is there but it 's j

there is but little time left for acclamation

There are some people who take
the view that a newspaper is a garbage
bucket into which anvtliing
may be dumped. Mistake No. 1.
There ire some people who think
that a newspaper is puhli>hed only
to serve their selfish interest and
?hrow the lvrrpoon into the other
fellow. Mistake No. 2. Theiv are
some people who think that a n?wsoaner
should print what is obviously
advertising matter without a sinI
jrle cent of compensation. Mistake
\'n. There are many other sim?'iar
mistrkes with regard to the nub
lication of a newspaper, but these
will answer for the moment.
A newspaper is not duty bound

want to print. There is 110 rule that
ro.M'ir^s it, to print something of absolutely
no news value iust because
j somebody wants it printed, it is not
obliged to effusively laud some perj
sen whore laudation is no4 earned
: nor to lambaste some individu0-'
wlieije adverse criticism is not doI
served. It is not printed for the
1 purpose of satisfying selfish motive?
There is not the remotest reason
why it --should give awav its space
in somebody who is ru^inng something
for monetary benefit.
i The mis-io" of a newspaper is to
print news of general interest. Ad
vertising is not news. Something
concerning a sing'e individual is
not news. An article skinning some
; private en<Muv or ooponont is not
. nows. Numerous other things of
a like nature that find their way into
newspape offices are not news. It
is not hard for a trained newspaper
I man to draw 1he distinguishing line.
1 It is not hard for anybody to draw
, tho distinguishing line if they v ill
' ston a moment and give the matter
logical thought.
I True it is that a newspaper gives
away much, especially where charity
is concerned, but it does not follow
that the publisher should adopt charity
as an established custom and open
the door freely to all copiers. Space
is the only thing that a newspaper
has to sell and the publisher who
gives it away is no wiser than tho
merchant who gives away a hat or a
suit of clothes to the man who comes
into his store and asks for them.

both, that is well worth considering,

sawing machines are comparatively
inoNpensive. One outfit can do the
work for several fafnilies and may be
bought in partnership or operated for
hire. With power machinery it is possible
to reduce much of the expense
and make the gathering of the wood
supply comparatively easy, says the
United States Department of Agriculture.
Timber is so valuable for lumbei
that comparatively few logs are usee
for fuel * nowadays. If it should be
advisable to cut large logs for wintei
fuel, a drag saw will be found useful
Kffective drag saw outfits are expensive.

the machinery is somewhat more comn'icat3d

Best Location for Sawing Outfit
If possible the wood sawing1 ri.e
should he located tit the foot of a slope
and the logs hrtu'ed to a pile above it
where they can bo rolled into position
Portable drngsaw outfits which wil
carry the s/iw from cut to cut are als<
in the market for large operations.
It will probably be found economi
cal. however, to save the trunk of th<
tree for timber, cutting off the toj
and large limbs for fuel. The circu

ting these into stove wood lengths. 1
will usually be best to cut the wooc
into lengths by hand as long as tw<

size to cut through at one operation j
the largest pieces of wood commonly
handled. Blades from 24 to 30 inches
in diameter are the most popular. It
is economy to got a large enough
blade. A speed of about 1,200 revolutions
for a 30-inch or 1,500 for a 21
inch blade is recommended. A flywheel
will help to preserve momentum
when the saw is going through
the wood.
An engine of (> to 8 horfcoji&tfer'"is
sufficient for th?\ heaviest wood, a fid
?ne of 4 horsepower will suffice if only
small poles and limbs are to be cut.
Four Men Handle Job Quickly
, The number of men required for
most efficient oper.atuffl of a buzz saw
varies, but four men make a good
r??n\v. Ono man does the actual sawing,
one helps hold the logs and poles
1,-?e table and push them forward
for the successive cuts, one removes
and piles the blocks and a fourth
keeps the logs and poles up to the
saw. Under average conditions such
an outfit should saw about twenty
cords of wood into 12 or 1(> inch stove
lengths in a ten-hour day. For small
wood, three men should lie able to
keep the saw busy. If the wood is
piled near the saw, one man ordinarily
can keep the saw supplied and the
sawyer will need no helper.
In sawing poles two men can work
effectively, and even one man alone is
hnt'nr off for having a power saw
outfit.
i However, under ordinary conditions,
I with the limited amount of wood ne|
I cessarv to keep one family through
. the whiter, a good nlan is for several
farmers to club together and buy an
outfit which can be moved from one
place to another. The original cost
