BEAT PAYROLL ROBBERS
Rochester Firm Decides to Use Al
Checks In Payment
ASSOCIATED Press)

Rchester, Nov. 16.--A large busi-
ness house having headquarters in
this city has undertaken to conduct
It's affairs entirely without the use
Of money. Instead Of currency, 1t In
tends to use checks, trade accept
,ances and travel checks to make pay
ments OF every kind, including its
payroll. AS the concern deals with
more than 100000 individual Gus
toners the result Of the experiment
will be watched with interest.
The cOmpany's reason for adopt.
ing this method Is given as an effort
to demonstrate a means Of ending
the epidemic OF payroll robberies and
ito show that modern business may
be conducted most efficiently with
out the use Of small change thus
leaving the nations money where It
belongs, in the banks, to serve as the
basis Of credit"

The new system inaugnrated By the
merchants delivery. providing two
deliveries a day instead Of four,
throws a heavy load on the Office be-
tween 8 and 8 o'clock and congests
telephone traffic. According to q
company official the number Of calls
during that hour has increased from
400 to $50 since the new system
went into effect. It happens often
during this hour that a subscriber
win call as many as six times to
reach a grocery store and often in
desperation she will ask central to
give her ''any grocery then" II she
can't get the one she wants.
People often remark when Central
says Lines busy: "That line isn't
busy at all-Central just says So"
There they make mistake, said
the official, and II they were familiar
with a telephone Office they would
know that the operator is as anxious
to get@the call out Of the way as
they are. For any operator knows
that she will have to handle the call
a gain and to give an excuse would be
simply making more work for her
self.
On rainy days there are approx
mately 1000 more calls handled than
In fair weather.

ferred to the committee to form a
permanent organization and carry on
the canvass for funds. About $780,
900 has been subscribed.
Fl. w. Avery Of Wakefield, former
state senator, was the days speaker
and made a most interesting address.
"The farmer should carry on and
finance his own organizations" he
declared. at is not the best way
for the business men to do 1t for him.
The farm bureau is helpful and ef-
fective movement that you should en-
coura ge-Dickinson ought to be the

farther by meeting with the farmers
in organized form than as individ-
