A large business house hay

A large business house having headquarters in Rochester, N. Y., has undertaken to conduct its af- fairs entirely without the use of money. Instead of currency, it in- tends to use checks, trade accept ances and travel checks to make payments of every kind. including it's payroll. As the concern deals with more than 800,000 individual customers the result of the experi- ment, writes a correspondent of The Associated Press, will be watch ed with interest.
 The company's reason for adopt ing this method is given as an ef- fort to demonstrate a means of ending the epidemic of payroll rob- berries and ito show that modern business may be conducted most efficiently without the use of small change, thus leaving the nations money where it belongs, in the banks, to serve as the basis of credit"
 The announcement says even car fares, hotel bills and railroad fares for the company's force of several hundred salesmen, and other sum- dries are to be paid by checks. All petty items even to one-cent postage stamps will be paid henceforth by check and mo currency of any amount or denomination is to be carried in any form as company property.' ,asa

The Nenana Commercial club has come in for lot of criticism late ly from the Fairbanks News-Miner and Chief Propogandist Robinson, of the Alaskan Engineering commission forces, both of whom have accused the club of responsibility for recent criticisms of the manner in which the railroad work is being carried on.
 Ire Nenana Commercial club has been wrongly accused of many things in the past, but just why the Fairbanks paper and the per sonal representative of the chair man of the commission are seeking to tie this latest story onto the local organization is quite beyond understanding. and not at all fair.
 As matter of fact, the Nenana Commercial club had nothing what ger to do with the meeting at which the head of the commission was accused of being incompetent; nor with any of the communications which were forwarded to Washing ton subsequent to the meeting re- ferred to. The action which offended Colonel Mears and the Fairbanks editor was taken at 2 public meet ing of citizens of Nenana, of whom there were present many more than are enrolled as members of the Commercial club.
 The News has no apology to make for the action taken at that meeting, nor is this an attempt to "cover up" for the Commercial club. It is simply a statement of fact for the enlightenment of those who are too ready to blame the club for the things of which they do not approve, and never ready to give the club credt for good ac- complished for the community.

FAMINE RELIEF

As a practical relief for the chief famine district of China, the Chinese government has elaborated a plan to construct highways from Peking to Honan, to Shantung and to various parts of Chihli province for the purpose of giving employ ment to the sufferers in those dis tricts. It is estimated that part of the work to be started as soon as possible, will give employment to upwards of million men. The necessary funds are to be raised by supplementary collections of salt tax and increases in post and tele- graph rates.

Texas Veterans Draft Bill Like

Prevents Immigrants From Nip
pom From Owning Land.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 1I8.-A bill
designed to prevent Japanese from
owning or leasing land in Texas is
now being drawn up by American Le-
gion executives for introduction at the
January session of the state legislature.
It was learned here.
The bill will be introduced by a rep
resentative- acting for the legion, it
was said.
American Legion officials say the
bill is the result of several weeks in
vestigation of threatened immigration
of OrientaIs which caused many meet
ings and threatened for a time to start
real warfare in the Rio Grande valley
between the American Legion and
land men who were reported to have
sold several hundred acres in the fer
tile valley to the Japs who were leav-
ing California because of agitation
against them.
The anti-Japanese bill is modelled
partly after the California anti-alien
land owning amendment, it was said
1t carries the provision denying the
right for japanese to lease or own land
for their children, besides making 1t
unlawful for the elders to possess the
land it was reported.

1t would be impractical to- route the

Senator Harding had previously ad-

the south to support the protective

to the sugar industry which has met
reverses in this section recently.

DEMAND is beaten
Soft Coal Producers Now Piling
Up Surplus.
Drop in Prices Sure Soon, De-
clare Operators.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The bitum-
inous coal supply is outstripping the
demand, production promises to reach
new high records and prices continue
dropping, coal men and government
officials agreed today.
Officials of the National Coal OPP
orators association today said the sup
ply of bituminous coal is steadily inn
proving and production for the pres
ent week may set a new record.
Prices at the mine, they say, continue
to drop and there is no shortage ex-
cept sporadic cases in scattered To-
calities.
The United States geological survey
today cited figures to show coal pro-
ductfon so far this year is rapidly APP
preaching the production at this time
in 1918, record year, when, in face
of heavy demand, there was a sur
plus carried over.
The production this year has been
about AGA, $4,000 tons. At this time
last year it was 405, ,344.0 00e tons and
in 1918, it was 505.021. 900 tons. If
present rates of production are kept
up the production by the end of this
year may equal or even exceed that OF
1918, it is believed here.

Concerning the ST. Louis meeting to

Gaa who was elected president Of the
union for the fifteenth consecutive
time, said today:
Blame Unstable Markets.
fgThe purpose of the meeting is not
to form or create a corner, but to find
a reasonable, rational way to market
our products. The urban population
should welcome such a step, as it is
the instability of the market that has
caused inflated prices for them and
.deflated prices for the producer"
About one thousand delegates. rep
resenting thirty or more organizations
are expected to attend the st: Louis
meeting, Mr.. Barrett said.
Other resolutions adopted at the
executive session, officials said today,

Production Cut Threat.
) Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Advice to farm
ers to curtail production activities and
wait for price adjustment was given IN
staten ents made today by ]. R. How
ard, president of the American Farm
Bureau federation, and C. w. Hunt,
president of the Iowa Farm Bureau
federation. They declared that the
market price of many farm products
was below the cost of production, and
while not contemplating a farmers
strike, s1rged producers to slow down,
unfit prices adjust themselves.
Prices are frightfu1Iy low" Mr..
Howard said. 'A1l farm products
have declined in price from SO to 100
per cent, an average arrived at this
week approximating 72 per cent. The
farmer does not think he ought to take
II per cent reduction and be compelled
to- buy clothing and farm machinery
at a Is per cent reduction. When
other commodities come down in pro-
portion to our products. we will go
ahead with Production"

Says Farmers Robbed.
The proposed strike was urged in
retaliation for what the convention
considered abnormal deflation in
prices of farm products thru which it
was asserted American farmers have
been robbed of one billion dollars in
reduced value of products now on
hand. All farmers were appealed to
hold this years production from the
markets Until profit making levels
are restored.
The action of the National Farmers
Union was in line with a wheat strike
called several weeks ago by the wheat
growers association of the United
States. Delegates asserted a consider
able quantity of this years wheat crop
was being held. off the market by
farmers. Reduction of production In
the future was threatened unless the
prices of our products are fairly read
justed to the end that we may obtain
just returns for our labors and invest

by the convention.
Is just Recommc nda ton.
Officials of the organization pointed
out that members were not under obli-
cation to obey the terms of the strike
but expressed the belief that such a
movement would be effective. A con-
ference of all representatives of farm
ers' organizations of the country was
called to meet in St. Louis December
16, to consider the creation of a ma
tional farm marketing board.
The resolutions were adopted in ex-
ecutive session last evening and an
