MORGAN CREDIT BUREAU TO
BE ESTABLISHED

Plans are progressing satisfac-
torily for a credit bureau to cover
the entire county. 1t will be pos
sible for retailers to obtain credit
reports from other localities by
means of the local bureau. Morgan
county retailers have long felt the
need OF such an organization, as it
affords protection not only to them,
but to customers who unthinkingly
are inclined to buy beyond their in
comes. A majority of the local
dealers are enthusiastically in ac-
cord with the idea. All retailers
throughout Morgan county are in
vited to join in the project; grocers
are especially urged to cooperate
with the other dealers. As many
retailers as possible will be seen
personally by Margaret l. Doudna,
who will be manager of the credit
bureau, but those not interviewed
can obtain all information by call
ing Mrs. DOudna at Atty F. s.
Doudna's office, phone 25O-Red. A
meeting will soon be held of all re-
tailers, who will then hear in de-
tail as to the widespread ad-
vantages of such a bureau; fees for
membership will be decided upon
according to the volume of credit
business each concern handles, and
methods of operation will be ex-
planned. The date for this meeting
will be given out later to all who
are interested in the establishment
of the rganization.-XX.

Morgan county has more grange
members than any other county in

and at McConnelsville, Oct Is. Nc
Connelsville is about one-fifth the

have as large class of candidates

! the membership in our county will
assist in boosting it.
In order to receive the sixth de.

Charity Never Faileth
(New York Times)

Reports from a hundred commune
ties the country over in which COM
munity chest drives have been COM
pleted are encouraging. Most Of them
have exceeded their quotas and the
rest have fallen short by small mar
gins only-the total being 99.2 per
cent Of the amount that was sought.
Another gratifying fact is that this
total Is IA per cent beyond the re-
spollse Of a year ago-when the COM
munity chests made an excellent
showing.
The explanation is doubtless that
people feel more generally the obli-
CATION to contribute to the mainte-
nance Of local charities and to help
their neighbors in distresses with
which these months have made them
acquainted. It is stated that 80 per
cent Of what is raised Is to be used
for unemployment relief - which
means that the usual charities will
probably find their funds somewhat
lessened, though the lower cost Of
living may make up fair share Of
the difference.
