Commercial failures in the district,
however, were fewer in number and
liabilities were smaller than for Deem
Der, or for January last year. A smaller
demand for bank credit in the district
in recent weeks Is indicated in the de-
crease in loans by weekly reporting
member banks in principal cities for
February IL, compared with figures five
weeks earlier, and year ago, and in
substantial reduction in the borrow
ings of these banks from the Federal
Reserve Bank. Discounts for all mem

uary, 1929.

larly reporting cities of the district in
creased 26 per cent in January over

whole also increased substantially oveT
December, but were 1876 per cent less
than in January a year ago.

growing States increased 27.6 per cent
in January over December, but was IL
per cent less than in January a year

put of bituminuoS coal in Alabama and
Tennessee averaged somewhat larger in
January this year than last, and pro-
duction of pig iron in Alabama showed
decreases, compared with the preced-
ing month and the same month year
ago.
Reserve Bank Operations.
After declining on the last day of
1920 to the lowest level since April of
1928, discounts for member banks by
the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

January, but have decreased more than
10 millions of dollars in the five-week

ELIMINATING OF

Those who have radios in their

out of them, and interferences are
aggravating-in fact if the inter-

he would rather be without the radio.
Complaints In most cases likely are
on account of electric motors. Desir-
ing to be of service in this respect
the American wrote a letter to the
Minnesota Power & Light Company
to find out what might be done along
the line of eliminating interference.
w. j. Wilkinson, manager of the Clo-
quet division, writes that interfer-
ences are to be found in practically
every town or village where electri-
cal apparatus is used and that he
knows of no better way to handle the
situation than to organize a radio
club and tackle the proposition in a
thoroughly conciliatory manner.
Testing for radio interference"
says Mr.. Wilkinson, has become
quite standardized and am sure that
you have someone in your own COM
munity who is sufficiently interested
and very probably sufficiently well
posted in radio activity to undertake
a survey.
1.-The use of two half microfarad
condensers connected in series across
the line serving offending apparatus
with a central point of the two con-
densers grounded to the frame of the
apparatus, will invariably eliminate
trouble if it is not caused by ser

TESTING RECORD
BEST FOR BUYERS
Outside Dairy Cattle Buyers Want
Facts When Making Purchase
AskOv Dairymen Sell
Carload.

The cow testing association in this
community has far reaching results
it seems, considering the number of
buyers being attracted from other
communities of the state and even
from other states. A party of four
men from Storden, Cottonwood coun-
ty, visited the Askov community
Thursday and Friday for the purpose
of buying dairy cattle for the Ruben
and Hildreth farm near that place,
and the first question they asked of
a local escort before driving into the
place was, 'Is this man a member of
the cow testing association" AL
though they looked at some cattle be-
longing to farmers outside of the as
ISOLATION, no cattle were purchased
that did not have record compiled
by the testing association. The buy
ers also> stated that they could not
take cattle which had not been T. B.
tested within the past year.
Besides finding ready sale for their
product, members of the association,
it is reported, received fair price
for the stock they sold, averaging
S125 per head for the carload sold.
Besides in the herd of registered
and Is high grade Holstein cattle
purchased, several were two-year old
heifers. A bull was also purchased
in the Cloverdale community and was
shipped with the carload Tuesday
night accompanied by Henry Show,
a brother of Mrs. A. p. Jensen, who is
herdsman for Ruben and Hildreth,
and who remained here over the
weekend in order that he might
supervise the shipment of the cattle
to their new home
This however, is not the only time
that outside buyers have been at
tracted to Pine county for dairy stock,
as only few weeks ago some cattle
were shipped from here to an eastern
dairyman.
