that he cut down his own salary in 

 order to have more with which to pay 

 bills. At last it became impossible for 

 him to take any salary at all. The busi- 

 ness was getting into'debt and his home 

 expenses were running behind. Nat- 

 urally he was much distressed, as he 

 saw nothing ahead of him except bank- 

 ruptcy. 



He was convinced that there mnst be 

 a change and that, too, at an early 

 date. He had no money to waste, but 

 he determined to consult a business doc- 

 tor or expert and he argued rightlv 

 that he couldn't afford a cheap one, 

 whose services would be of doubtful 

 value. 



When he had located the right man, 

 he told him the whole storv, concealing 

 nothing, and laying before him a com- 

 plete financial statement of assets, lia- 

 bilities and accounts and figures for the 

 previous year. 



The business doctor said pleasantly, 

 but firmly: " 



"Man, you arc traveling on the 

 wrong principle altogether, and as a 

 result you are on the edge of failure. 

 Even yet, though, we may be able to 

 save the day. As soon as vour credit 

 began to fail you, business suffered and 

 you ceased to be self-respecting. 



Unfair to AIL 



"You have put in twice as many 

 hours as anyone else, have worked 

 harder and carried the responsibility. 

 Consequently, your salary was as hon- 

 est a business debt as that of any other 

 creditor. You have done yourself an 

 injustice to ignore it. It is necessary 



Are Some of Us 

 Like Old Sam? 



Along in' April, when spending a few days with some Georjiian 

 friends, an amusing thing occurred. 



While at dinner one night we kept hearing Old Sam, the 

 "kitchen nigger," praying something powerful, 



Heiprayed for to ".send the Angel of the Lord down and take 

 Old Sam home." 



Over and over he prayed, the same thine each time; over and- 

 over he prayed, growing louder and louder. 



Finally my friend got up on lip-toe, and going around to the 

 kitchen door, gave three measured knocks. 



Promptly Sam stopped praying, and called out in a hoarse 

 whisper: "Who dat dar?" 



My friend answered: "TJie Angel of the Lord come down to 

 take Old Sam home." 



Promptly Sam yelled his loudest: "Go 'way from dar, Angel; 

 ain'tjnojonejby name Sam here." 



Every time since then, that one of our boys kind of gets a 

 notion in his head he'd like to do something that I just plain 

 know he isn't ready to do; remind him of Old Sam. 



Which in turn reminds me that we are certainly appreciative 

 of the line lot of F. T, D.'s you good friends all over the 

 country sent us for Decoration Day. 



Never had the like of it before. 



Which, of course, is the kind of a like that we particularly like.

for you to live and for your family to 

 live. When you got into debt, with no 

 prospect of paying, you were not fair 

 to the butcher, the grocer, the coal man 

 and the milk man. It was as broad as it 

 was long. You should have taken your 

 salary and paid your living expenses. 

 As it is, you have let these accounts go 



and have paid others which had a less 

 claim. 



"I find that you are solvent, although 

 you have not suflBcient liquid assets to 

 handle your business. The thing to do 

 is to go to the bank, put up some col- 

 lateral security and borrow money to 

 tyipe out these outstanding obligations
