Show What is the Reason? Two or threo bulsness men were discussing the local llnaucial situation on the street today. All agreed that wc had had a ery prosperous season, and that there are a great many people peo-ple In the community that arc pressed for money to meet their obligations and wondered what the cause -was. One of them wasof the opinion that the people had not been economical enough but had over reached themselves. them-selves. Another stated thst the real cauw; was the Implement houses and the Life Insuianco men, that the people had been talked Into pniehas-ing pniehas-ing machlneiy, buggies etc that they could hae gotten along eiy well without, that they had given their notes and assumed obligations that they could not now meet without borrowing, and It was causing them a good deal of trouble to raise the money. There Is no doubt but what there is more tntth than poetry in this statement, but it seems that the bulk of the people will never learn how to say no, and mean It. They can usually be talked Into almost anything and if they were not tied up with implement imple-ment notes, they would be investing on a rubber farm In Mexico or South America somew here. If any ono has money to Invest there arc Just as good openings right hcic In this alley as any where else on earth' and the returns will be just as large and Just as sure. We wish the people would consider these things for their own good. Debt is an awful buulen at best, if wc would be happy wc must keep out of bondage. |
