poultry, food preparation, designing and max

ODD-PENNY PRICES

We are so accustomed to articles in stores
priced at SO cents, $1.49, and other odd-penny
amounts that few persons give any thought
to what once was considered freakish idea
of price making.
But G.. H. Ciley, well-known store adj
vertising manager, tells in a recent article
that the custom arose from the solution of a
very practical problem by shrewd mer-
chant.
When Captain Roland H. Macy got tired
of sailing the briny deep as sea captain and
started store in New York, there were no
cash registers or other means for checking
up his clerks. Money received for purchases
was put in an old-fashioned cash drawer
which made no records, and the practice of
Knocking down." euphemism for plain
stealing by clerks, was quite prevalent.
Macy changed all prices to odd-cent
amounts, established cashiers to make the re-
quired change, and kept close watch on the
cashiers. His advertisements of these odd
prices seemed to strike the public eye favor
ably, and he got great response. What was
at first only an expedient to keep from being
robbed developed into potent psychological
appeal to his customers
Thus the odd-price has survived many
years after the original reason for it's adop-
ton ceased to exist

robbers to invade Willmar disproves this theory
and there is town apparently that the bandits
are afraid to enter The larger cities in the country
districts of the state not immune to bank rob-
beries but there is point worth noting in
nection with these towns and that is that the rob-
bers proportonately more desperate.
The bandits at Wllmar Tuesday sprayed the
streets with machine gun bullets, striking at least
three persons, of whom may die. This brings
the matter of public safety into the situation When
bank robbers enter the larger cities they pre-
pared to shoot ruthlessly We must expect it, and
should be prepared to meet it.
The Willmar raid brought to mind the de-
funct organization of county rangers. Trained men,
strategically located with machine guns, probably
could have brought those robbers down. Right now,
they at liberty, with near murder on their
hands and with loot totaling $4,000
There is strong argument here, too for state
police body. Such power could not be on hand
everywhere at the moment robbery is committed
but highly trained state police would be well worth
having in the chase that follows And perhaps with
the threat that such organization would have
bank robberies would be less numerous.
With the matter of public safety entering into
the bank robbery situation strongly it is time the
public aroused itself to action. safe defense
against the depredations of bank robbers has not yet
been found but it is problem that should be at
tackled at once and with vgor.

FARM RELIEF THROUGH COMMON SENSE
Fergus Falls Tribune.


Political economy is funny old science. There
time when a farmer, finding prices low on a
product that he raising, would say: Wheat
aint good; price for it; too many of us suck
is raising it. I'm going into something else."
There piece of political economy boiled
down to it's most condensed form. That farmer was
a sensible
Not enough farmers saw it that way and yelled
loudly when their crop had to be sold at bargain
counter prices
Thereupon benevolent congress and adminstra-
ton sad 1--WE will give help to these stricken ones.
They created the Federal Farm board, seven men at
$4,000 year; offices and department at large
figures, and voted 500 million dollars much of
that sum might be needed.
At the end of the first year Chairman Legge of
the board offers the following the boards best
hope for the future:
The world wheat situation is not that Of
fers hope for improvement of return to the
American wheat grower in the future if he
continues to produce much wheat that the
price for all his crop is determined by the part
he must sell in the world market. Many persons
still labor under the deusion that the SURPRISES
of agricultural commodities be disposed of
abroad without interfering with that consumed
in the domestic market. All information tends
to discredt the possibility of any such solution.
On wheat, practically every importing country in
the world, except one, already has passed legis-
lation, restricting barring the importation of
wheat at any price level lower than the price in
the country from which it is exported We might
well abandon any theory which contemplates
selling abroad at prices lower than those current
ly prevailing in this country.
Substantial Improvement can be made through
better regulated marketing of what produce,
but will have to go beyond that for complete
answer. That answer is adjustment of pro-
duction that will more nearly conform to the do
nestle demand. The more completely the pro-
ducers can organize into units for collective &C
ton, the more quickly will we attain the desired
end.

the conclusion which level headed farmers declared
in words of one syllable before the system of re-
lief tried.
And the cause of farm relief remains about
where the Crusades left the Holy Sepulchre after
centuries of devastating warfare-just where it was
when crusading began.

and in that way help out the whole
economic thing, so that it would
put more money into circulation,
and make more jobs for those that
had none. Now that is absolutely
going against all the laws we have
been brought up to; we have always
been taught to save and put by
every dollar that we could, and not
buy anything unless we absolutely
needed it, and to spend no money
for things that we could do with
out. Now all at once we are adj
vised by everybody to start spend
ing, so it will help somebody else.
Imagine telling the working man
to spend, that if he don't put his
money into circulation why he
wont have a job very long. That
is what Mr.. Coolidge said. Now
that sounds so unlike him. Here is
a man that the whole basis of his
popularity is based on his economy
and thrift, and all at once to help
out a situation, why he says
