 per cent transacted business on Srd call
 This year the writer practically eli minated Second and Third calls with the result that it is now 95 per cent action on the first interview.
 The point I want to bring out for your information is. That the best time to make certain of your collections and make good credit customers is at the very first interview. Get acquaint- ed Get full information impress your terms and stick to them from the first. When an account is one day overdue check it up and get some definite ar rangement settle there and then. DO not take notice of indefinite promises next week, etc. They seldom mature. man knows right now whether he wants to do business, whether he can or not. and it's only habit in most cases to put it off till tomorrow. Most of your bad debts were created this way. but don't bluff or threaten If yuo say you will take certain action as the next step on certain date, do if Otherwise a person will lose all respect and confidence for you. Be reasonable and willing to make ar rangements, but make your customer realize that he in turn must do his mart and that is something more than d mere promise.
 When man is in debt, the best pos sible thing for him to do, is to make a list of what he owes to date, explain his nosition to his creditors. Figure ur his present cost of living, cut that down to a reasonable amount, below his income. Start in to pay as he goes living within his income. Spending ms cash with his creditors and paying Iittle off on account of the old account. Even if it is only $1 a month on each account, That is the only way to show he is honestly trying to get square.
 The Unitde Creditors Association is not hard on those who show honest efforts to pay But the Accounts ot those who will not pay are advertised and sold to the highest bidder in the Town which the debtor is now living. so that at least some cash may be real ized on this account This applies to outlawed accounts of any age at all

It is perfectly legal to sell Ac, counts, Notes, Cheques and judge ments which are treated as personal property of the creditors, in Alaska, every state in the Union, every pro vince in Canada, in fact all over the world.
 The United Creditors Association is the largest International Credit asso- citation in the world and is able to trace the majority of lost addresses, of Debtors, and collect the money in any part of the world.
 It includes in it's membership be- sides wholesale and retail merchants, all the manufacturing concerns, banks doctors, dentists, professional men and retired merchants, and financially guarantees collection and protection to it's members.
 So far in Alaska we have about 125 members and by the end of October when the writer will have visited al most every town in Alaska there will be about 25O members which is nearly every bank, retail, wholesale merchant doctor and dentist and others who give credit.
 For the next few years, the trend of prices and wages will be downward, in dividual business prosperity must needs b based on close buying. eco

lomical handling, improved production and sound financing. It is period for business house cleaning for liquefac- tion of all speculative assets.
 With the reduced margin of profit, business men of sound judgment re- cognize the expediency of careful linn ited credits the absolute necessity of close collections. The available margin for covering dead accounts as profit and loss will be very small. In other words the success or failure of many concerns will rest more than ever be- fore on successful collection of ac counts.

PLANTING FOR SPRING FLOWERS.

Nebraskans will have some interest in the steps
that are being taken in many eastern communities
to provide for the renewal of spring flowers Out in
variably accompanied by floral display that is un-
equaled Early travellers the prairies noted with
wonder the variety Of profuson of flowers that
sprang up with the first warm sun Of the spring.
and how they fingered until the blaze Of July
brought them to frution and they made way for the
summer and in turn these were succeeded by the
autumn blooms. Wherever the land is open and I'M
touched such is yet the annual round.
Back east two things have conspired to diminish
when not actually wipng out the wild flower growth,
and chief Of these was the devastating presence of
man. Marauding picknickers, hiking parties and the
like have thoughtlessy uprooted wild flowers de-
stroying not only blooms but roots and bulbs, and
the seeding until now the woods and open
places almost entirely denuded Of what is the
most charming Of their offerings.
To restore the growth of these wild things is be-
ing Systematically set about in many sections. In
Washington especially society has been formed
encouraged by the experts Of the Department of Ag
riculture, to carry on the work. and it is engaged
just in planting crocus bulbs and similar Seeds
to the end that when spring comes again, her advent
will be marked by blossoms instead Of bare spots
Nebraska may never come to such pass, yet there
has been complaint that the flowers and vines in Fon-
tenelle forest and other wooded groves about the
city have suffered from the species of vandalism that
is making trouble for the east. II should be checked

FRANCES FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.

One of the chief reasons for the uneasiness of
the French nation is its low birth rate. No reas-
surance is to be found in the latest returns births
there. The ten largest towns show that their al
ready low rate has fallen off 10 per cent for the
first quarter Of 1922. compared with the CORE
shows an increase II is estimated that the second
quarter of the year will show still lowering birth
rate, as the marriage rate has been falling heavily
for the last two years.
Thus may fairly view part of the Euro
pean problem as biological well political and
military. Race suicide is as much menace to
France as any other thing, The worst enemies of
man are within. rather than without. In putting
their trust in military power the French people are
relying on what may prove their weakest defense.
Great A. they in the fine arts aud in science
and all intellectual pursuits, It is on that field that
they can best hope for survival Il is said that with
the progress from barbarism TO civilization the birth
rate declines steadily. In is decline Of population
France may be paying the penalty Tor the high de-
yeiopment Of its talents Certainly the French
would not abandon their cultural gains in order
again TO increase and multiply
N this be a dilemma. it is indeed hard one
Power always used 70 80 To ihe strongest military
nation. To certain degree industrial power has
replaced this l. The time 10 eome when neither Of
these ~ill matter much As natural beauty and
