Their Plea for Normal Credit Only


MO one will question the soundness OF
~ w. p. G. Hardng's observation that
the Federal reserve bank is not an in
stitution for lending money to farmers in
order that they may hold their crops for
higher prices" On the other hand il can
not be truthfully asserted that the farmers,
: as class, have sought or are seeking to
convert the bank TO such a purpose 4
comparatively few OF them, perhaps, do
not understand the functions of the re-
serve system and feel that they are being
treated badly because funds are not prompt
ly forthcoming to enable them to hold their
crops for speculation.
+ Mr. Hardings latest statement, follow
ing closely in text that OF Secretary OF the
Treasury Houston, was made in response
10 local banks in the cotton territory, which
sought more liberal credit for relief of
the financially embarrassed growers His
premise is correct but, in all fairness he
should have gone further and said that
neither Is the Federal reserve bank de-
signed to withhold normal credit and by
so doing to force prices to sacrifice basis
where the growers are threatened with ruin
and the cotton field opened up to the real
Spectator, who is wai1ng for cotton at
bargain prices.
On the latter point there is direct con-
hict OF testimony. Mr.. Harding, like Sec
rotary houston, says that normal credit has
not been withheld, that more money for
legitimate credit has been sent into the
Southeast than in the panic year of 1907.
and there are funds apenty for all normal
market activities. The local banks and the
growers themselves take direct issue with
him. The latter insist that normal credit

ORPHAN TRUCK MAN
ROUNDS UP DOLLARS

A Michigan passenger car dealer,
seeking TO sell more service, despite
fewer cars, and incidentally feel out"
the motor truck situation, observed a
number of ''orphan'' trucks in his dis
trict which were OF good design and
constructed mainly from well-knowh
standardized units. The dealers who
had sold them had, for the most part,
abandoned trucks or had taken on
other lines and were giving only half
hearted service to the old owners. BY
making a study of their service needs
and soliciting work in ads and circu-
lar letters, this dealer secured num-
Der of "orphan" truck overhauling
Jobs and obtained from parts makers
and dealers new units for several of
he big jobs. While the early profits
were not large, the experience demon
started many opportunities and re-
quirements of a good truck sales and
service department. and the dealer
'ound himself in a favorable position
for his development with a good, |
strong make.

How many of you know how to park

mishaps recently due to cars sliding

lis rarely an excuse for it, If the car IS
parked properly and necessary pre-
cautions taken.
The easiest way is always the best
way, and it is so simple to park prop
erIy that none of us should be guilty
of this neglect, that might cost a hfe
