Chamber Of Commerce Head
Says Where Money Is Want
ed Make Inquiry

If you are asked by an agent 20
pay "small deposit" upon any
thing to be delivered later, Henry
Everett, secretary Of the Chamber
of Commerce, says make inquiry
before you part with your dollar.
This a precaution that should be
taken by all, he says and the sug-
gestion has been advanced that all
such solicitors be referred to tne
Chamber Of Commerce to establish
their credentials before any orders
are given them.
Recent experience and investiga-
tions furnished sufficient basis for
taking precautions against paying
out money to persons who may not
be authorized representatives of
houses they purport to solicit bust
ness for, Secretary Everett says.
as is well known, it is the policy Of
The Chamber Of Commerce not to
recommend any solicitor before ere
dentials have been fully investigat-
ed and their standing confirmed by
wire and today's request to take
precautions against "slickers" is
given the public in accordance with
that policy.

question OF excessive freight rates,
war time prices on the commodities
which farmer Is compelled to pur-
chase. the prevailing price OF labor
and what is more discouraging. the
prevailing depressed market condi-
tons OF the products Of the soil When
confronted with these unsatisfactory
conditions many people are disposed
to abandon agricultural pursuits and
attach themselves TO more profitable
and progressive lines OF industry.
There is an old adaEe to the effect
that the proper time TO buy anything
is when 1t is cheap and sell when II
is high. There has never been. during
the past decade. so many alluring op-
portunities TO acquire irrigated lands
than at the present time and It may
safely be predicted that the industrial
conditions OF this country rapidly will
adjust themselves and in short time
become normal II may likewise be
assumed that man who acquires and
settles on desirable and productive ir.
rigated land at the present time will
profit in the end.
In previous article It was suggest
ed that the farmer should progress and
meet the conditions OF the times the
same as is done in other lines OF ac-
uyity. II must be admitted that the
manner OF farming in other days is
unprofitable but we think that
close scrutiny OF the conditions that
exist win reveal many opportunities OF
success.
The excessive cost OF labor would
naturally suggest a reduction in size
of farm units thus reserving for the
home builder employment for himself
and family: the excessive cost OF
machinery would suggest utilizing the
old; the excessive cost of freight
would suggest condensation OF prod.
ucts T. o, in place OF shipping hay
ship butter. for II has been demonstrate
ed that one car Of butter will transport
TO market an entire train load OF hay;
the excessive cost of tin can products
would suggest home production; the
excessive cost OF amusements. such as
the use OF automobiles for pleasure
purposes might suggest the advisable
ity, In view Of the more important
purpose OF acquiring home, of con-
sidering them non-essential.
But more important, perhaps, than
any OF these. would be the suggestion
that the producer ascertain what com.
modities. which the farm unit is cap
able OF producing, will find an active
market That Is to say, n commodity
such as wheat, OF which there is said
to be an overproduction, is quite
certain TO disappoint the producer.
Commodities of which we do not pro
duoo sufficient for our own consump-
tion, such as poultry, dairy products.
