weeks Of 1920, and there are tang
ibie evidences Of improvement.
The apprehensions and rumors of
impending trouble which are al
ways a demoralizing influence
when the credit situation is under
strain, have been largely cleared
away. The irresponsible talk
about "panic" has been silenced.
The epidemic of business fail
ures predicted for the bankrupt
cies has increased, but has not
been alarming, and the cases have
been mainly of small concern of
mushroom growth, who extended
their business rapidly upon small
capital while prices were rising
and did not have the reserve re-
sources to meet the losses that,
were inevitable when reverses
came. The substantial business
structure of the country is un-
shaken, and whatever anxiety
there may have been upon that
score has been relieved
For several years the Bank of Val
ley City has been distributing monthly
this publication Of its New York cor
respondent to those of it's customers
and others in this community who ex-
press desire to receive it. It is
written by Vice-President George E.
Roberts, WHO is very generally re-
garded as the leading authority of the
present day on business, economic and
financial subjects. President Farley
announces that anyone desiring to re-
ceive this publication may have it
mailed regularly without charge by
making request at the bank. He states
that among those who receive and
regularly read it are many women who
are as keenly interested in business
and economic questions as men. Many
farmers, as we'll as business and pro-
fessional men, are regular readers; in
fact much space in each monthly issue
is devoted to the important subject
of agriculture and it's problems.

The Valley City Town Criers Clul
enjoyed sumptuous banquet at tn,
Kindred Hotel Thursday evening.
Between courses, the income ta2
problem which is now perplexing tn,
majority of business men and others
was discussed, and questions freely
asked. John Miller, q Representative
of the federal government in that
branch of work, was a guest Of Che
Criers, and intelligently explained al
questions put to him regarding any
phase of the tax problem.
Following this the Criers got down to
business. The meeting was in charge
of Lee Ferguson, who had selected as
the topic Of the evening to be discussed
Gaining the Confidence Of the Con-
sumer."
Mr.. Ferguson briefly stated that he
believed the merchants should mark
their goods at replacement cost. He
urged that when a merchant secures
a shipment of goods that will retail
lower than the goods that are on the
shelves at that time, that the mer-
chant mark the goods on the shelves
to conform with those of more rea-
sonable prices. Mr.. Ferguson called
on Mr.. Herman Stern, manager of the
Straus Clothing Co., and president of
the club to give his views on this
point. ,trs"s
Mr.. Stern declared that was the pol
icy which his store had been carry
ing out, and which he believed all 9th
er merchants in the city were doing or
would be only too glad to do if the
merchants as whole agreed to do so.
Mr.. Stern's talk also branched off on
the retail trade as effecting the man
ufacturer. He said that he discussed
the situation with several big manu-
facturers in the east while on his buy
ing trip and found the manufacturer
cooperating to- the fullest extent in
restoring prices to where the mer-
chant was able to sell the goods at
price that the consumer was willing
ing to pay. .-..-E..--.-,N
One point which Mr.. Stern empha-
sized very strongly was the stand that
labor takes. Mr.. Stern declared that
labor in the east has not been fair to
the employer, and declared that the
manufacturer is striving to secure
the open shop, where he can hire or
fire as he pleases, and where work will
be so arranged that the more work
the employe turns out, the bigger the
employees pay check will be. This:
the manufacturer claims. will do away
with watching the clock and induce
the employe to turn out as big a days
output as possible. The manufac-
turer is not asking the labor to re-
