Priced - $1.50 ----------------------------------- M — POWER OF INTEREST Copied from a speech of Pres. J. Reuben Clark, Jr. given at the 108th Annual Con­ference in Salt Lake City. ”It is a rule of our financial and econ­omic life in all the trorld that interest is to be paid on borrowed money. May I say something about interest? Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; it never goes to the hospital} it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation; it never visits nor travels; it takes no pleasure; it is never laid .off work nor discharged from employ­ment; it never works on reduced hours; it never has short crops nor droughts; it never pays taxes; it buys no food; it wears no clothes; it is unhoused and without home and so has no repairs, no replacements no shingling, plumbing, painting, or white­washing; it has neither wife, children, father, mother, nor kinfolk to watch over and care for; it has no expense of living; it has neither waddings nor births nor deaths; it has no love, no sympathy; it is as hard and soulless as a granite cliff. Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you can­not shun it or slip away from it; you can­not dismiss it; it yields neither to en­treaties, demands, or orders; and whenever you get in its way or oross its course or fail to meet its 'demands, it crushes you." Mr. C. C. Spahear left last week for a two week’s business trip up the Pass for the Alberta Sugar Beet Producers. Beet sugar is not very popular outside of • Southern Alberta." Even in Calgary most sugar sold is cane sugar. To the Storekeeper C. C. is just one among 25 or 30 unwelcome salesmen per day with some unpopular line. In Magrath Clyde was rather domineering.
