feet than the freighters were re-
ceiving for moving it 800 miles.
Imagine the CONSERVATION of the
freighters and their families and all
the farmers and settlers who knew
about 1t when they got that informa-
ton and were sure that it was true.
We had understood that all he made
out of it was the profit on the goods
that the freighters bought. 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. Bunting's
reputation suffered severe Jolt and
people had less confidence. in him
than before. He had been doing
tremendous business and some peo-
pie who owed him money proceeded
to pay up and quit as soon as pos
sible. Many others who owed him
money made up their minds that he
would have to make them ray it If
he ever got it. A lot of the luke
warm, half-baked fellows who never
were entirely honest took this con-
dition as an excuse for cheating him
out of his bill. Mr.. Bunting was a
poor collector. / have noticed that
merchandising firms who make
tremendous profits or who make I'M
fair profits or who resort to unfair
means usually are not good col
lectors. Perhaps their conscience
smites them when they try to push
collection, but whatever it is or
whatever it was in Mr.. Bunting's
case he not only was poor collector
but he failed to collect tremendous
Sums of money in the total that was
due him and should have been paid
to him, but this feeling of resent
ment stood in the way of his getting
the money from large numbers of
people. He was something of
plunger in many respects; was de-
veloping a mine that was no good,
was dabbling in politics and in vari-
Gus way he was placing his business
on an insecure basis. The result of
it all was that in 1897 his firm failed.
A receiver was appointed to attend to
the collection of the debts OF which
there were vast number, but. the
collection of those debts due to a
firm that had treated people that
way was an utter impossibility.
People resorted to all kinds of SUBJ
terfuges to keep from paying those
debts. Their good will had been de-
stroyed. There are always a lot of
people who will beat their bills when
they have chance, but there are al
ways more of them in connection
with firm that has given them
some excuse to base their objections
on and their refusal to pay The
firm that has lost the good will of it's
patrons has lost something that it
can never restore. 1t seems that
good will is as important to firm
in business as personal honor is to
a man or woman. think the
Utah-1daho Sugar company by its un-
fair operations has lost the good will
of vast numbers of beet growers, and
that it will take heroic measures on
their part to ever restore that.
think the directors of the company
are being made to feel the sting of
that reproach right now. think
large numbers of the men who are
working for them have come to rea-
lie the unfairness of their business
methods and they too feel the re-
'roach that attaches to them. There

that is true, but there was something
unsatisfactory about it in both cases

important facts in our progress. II
we were losing money they knew it,
and if we were making money they
knew it and they knew how much.
We finally settled down to this plan:
Tell Them All About 1t
On the first Of every month the
book-keeper gets out what we call
a balance sheet showing how much
business we did in the preceding
month, how much money we took in,
how much money we spent and what
it went for. A copy of this balance
sheet is posted in conspicuous
place in the press room where every
body can examine it. The items of
expense are classified and listed as
wages, materials, light, power, heat,
taxes, depreciation etc. The items
of income are classified and listed in
the same way. If we lose few
hundred dollars a month as we do |
in summer they appreciate the fact |
that the head of the house goes on
with a smile while paying the losses
and the salaries and the vacations. |
If we make $1,000 a month as we do |
in the fall season they appreciate the |
fact that their efforts are counting |
for something. They get good sal
aries thruout the year and at the
end of the year 10 per cent of the
net profits are set aside and divided
among the employees. If everybody
wasted time and material thruout
he year everybody would receive
ess of the net profits. If everybody
was interested and doing their best,
everybody got more money. The
system cultivates confidence in one
another and cultivates working
spirit among all of us. have been

FEWER GEMS Ut

Chicago, I'LL, Oct. 25.-Total value
of native gems mined in the United
States in 1919 was $123,046, accord
ing to a compilation just completed
by the U. S. Geological Survey. While
larger than the output of 1918 which
was $1O6.523, last years production
was less than that of many former
years. In 1917, the output was $751;
OLE; in 1916, $217,793; in 1915. $40
431; in 1914. $124,651, and In 1913.

Sapphires made up one-third of
last years total. their value being
$40, 304. Turquoise was next with a
value in the rough Of $30,507. This
is the largest amount Of turquoise
ever mined in the United State. The

These recommendations cover a

Clothing and sugar, as we'll as rent.
Concerning the recommendation.
the n regarding the s~egregating of
saving funds from saving institutions,
Is intended to limit the uses to which
savings bank and trust companies can
use their funds.
Mr.. Hay contends that as savings
banks obtain their money mainly
from people who are saving for the
purposes of building homes and get
ting a start toward building, 'the
banks should be limited in the pur-
poses to which they put these funds
and that they should be used princi-
pally for the building of homes
The suspension of modification Of
building restrictions is advised SO that
the nan with a small amount of capt.
tai can build a homie of one room and
then add to it as he is able to do so.
To-day there appears to be no
definite movement backed by financial
aid whereby homes may be erected in
this state" the report reads. Indus
try and commerce still .monopolize
the financial field, and unless some
segregation Of bank deposits or GER
tain funds be made available by legis-
lative action, it will be several years
before money, will be available for
home building in Minnesota.

whereby ~profteering may be checked.

scrupulous landlord or tradesman to

Reasons for rem advances as given
by landlords follow:
i. For increased taxes, fuel, tani-
tor and other costs. 2. To recoup
for losses in former years. 3. Never

supply and demand. S. Because
others boosted rents and 6, realtors
advise increases.
Reasons 81 and "3" appear valid;
No. 4 has some merit; No. 2 has no
real merit; Nos. S and 6 point to col
fusion though this is denied. Mr..
Hay points out.
