CLOSED BANKS
WILL GET j. s.
RESERVE HELP


Washington, Jan. l9.-Presldent
Coolidge and his cabinet gave their
approval to plan for extending the
assistance Of federal reserve banks
and the war finance corporation to
northwestern banks in the wheat
growing district which have closed
or are in danger of closing.
No details of the governments
plan for extending aid to the banks
whose condition has been strained by
several recent failures were made
public further than the statement
that ample credit would be given.
Joint Work Plan
Comptroller Dawes Of the curren-
cy, the federal reserve board, and
the war finance corporation have
been working jointly in a survey Of
the needs of banks, particularly in
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana, and believe that the source of
credits arranged through their ef-
forts will meet requirements.
1t was said that the failure of two
cipitated the difficulties in which
many of the small institutions now
find themselves. The Sioux Falls
banks served as city correspondents
for several hundred small banks
whose capital seldom exceed $25 900
each, and when their reserves were
swept away by failures of the city
correspondents, many of them appar-
emily were unable to weather the
30 oc 4 ;,a of
and loss Of funds on unpaid loans.
Wanted to Take Paper
The war finance corporation is
understood to have been planning to
aid in the recovery of the banks
through absorption of additional
farm paper. No indication as to the
limits to which the corporation would
go, however, has been given.
The large financial institutions in
Chicago, the Twin Cities and Omaha
will be called upon to lend helping
hand to setting the small banks on
their feet. Some communications
have been exchanged between Off
cials of the reserve board, the comp
troller's office and the war finance
corporation and the metropolitan
banks, with view to establishing
the amount of money available for
the smaller institutions.
Members of the congressional dele
cations from North and South Da-
kota, conferred with Secretary Mel
Ion several hours late in the day, 60
ing over the entire problem. 1t was
indicated they were unable to sug-
gest better methods of handling the
situation than already had been
worked out by the three government
agencies. The delegations are ex-
pected to discuss the situation with
the president.

STUDY SITUATION.

Washington, Jan 10. - Govern
ment officials continued their study
Of the Mexican situation today with
particular attention to the rebel at
tcmpts to blockade Tampico, while
the cruiser Richmond approached
Vera Cruz to take aboard the 26S
members of the crew Of the wrecked
Tacoma, who are ashore in the city
under protection Of American Consul
Wood
The cabinet yesterday devoted
most Of its attention to the Mexican
problem, but after the session it was
asserted at the White House that no
difficulties are expected by President
Coolidge to develop in the situation
around Tampico which is held by
the De La Huerta forces.
Whether the Richmond will take
al hoard Captain Sparrow and the AS
men still on the Tacoma has not been
made known. 1t is thought, however,
that some Navy personnel will be
kept on the stranded ship pending
completion Of wrecking or salvaging
operations.
The Richmond arrival will pro-
vide means for direct communication
by wireless under American control
with rebel controlled territory and
this, it is believed in some quarters.
may facilitate negotiations with the
De La Huerta leaders looking to
keeping of Tampico open to COM
merce.

HOW CUSTOMERS KEEP
UP RETAIL PRICES
by W. H. Flagstaff Rotary May

want to say a few things along
the line of merchandising. The public
wants merchandise at lesser price all
the time. They want quality and SER
vice but the thing that appeals ito
them the most is the lesser price.
The merchant knows this and puts
forth his best endeavor to get his
merchandise so that he will be able
to satisfy his customers in the matter
of prices as much as possible. He
buys in quantity when possible, takes
advantage of cash discounts, gets
along with the minimum amount of
help and uses every legitimate means
of getting the merchandise to his Gust
omers at the lowest price possible.
Now what is the buying public doing
to help the merchant in bringing about
this lesser price ? Nothing, on the con-
trary everything they do adds to the
cost of merchandise to the merchant.
A demand for service beyond endur-
ance at times, priviledges Of exchang-
eing or returning merchandise for
credit, are continually abused. 1t
costs the merchant just the same over
lCdu CAROlloC " lc1hC OCAh li1CIOAACAAA-
disc as it does to sell it. The average
customer does not realize this because
it has not been brought to mis- atten-
tion. 1t would be mighty good
thing if some way could be devised
whereby the attention of the public
could be brought to many things of
this nature pertaining to the selling of
merchandise. Just last week a man
brought back a pair of cut half soles
that he had bought more than a week
previous. He had soaked them in
water all night and the next morning
changed his mind and thought he
wanted thinner leather. Many stores
take the attitude, satisfy the customer
at any cost, but that policy to my mind
has always been questionable.
Another thing that is source of an
noyance to merchandising and adds
materially to the selling cost of
merchandise is the habit of some Gust
omers of buying ten cents to twenty
five cents and saying charge it, |
have no money in my pocket today"
Maybe that is all that customer will
buy or have charged during the month.
Needless to say the merchant loses

open an account, whether it be for
25c or $25, and that loss goes into
overhead expense at the end of the
year. l do not wish to imply that a
customers credit isn't good or that he
should not buy if he does not have
the cash in his pocket. Plenty Of
customers do that kind of trick
when their credit is good. The point
| wish to make is that people should
not worry merchants with petty ac-
counts of that amount, thereby helping
him to keep down the overhead ex-
pense at same time benefitting them
selves by helping to reduce prices.
This is a matter of educating the
people to the existing conditions. We
remember how easy it was during the
war to get something done. All we
had to do was to let the people know
what we wanted and ask their CO.
operation. They gave it willingly.
Some men might say that this is a
matter that could be taken care of by
an association of merchants. So it
could, but there is no association Of
that kind existing here at present and
as this club is made up of business
men | feel warranted in talking along
these lines. AS we go about our
daily vocations we see many things
that are not right and pass them by,
but If some of them are called to our
attention now and then we are pretty
apt to correct some of them.
A little thought and understanding
and cooperation between merchant
and customer would tend to bring
about results beneficial to both. That
would in short time bring about the
happy result-the lesser price.
