If the jury finds Mrs, Miter gull) | — : scribed by J. Henry Kling, the secre- ary-manager of the bureau. He said: The Bismarck-Mandan Credit bu- reau, an organization dating back to 1923, makes it its business to find out who is who as they arrive in either Bismarck or Mandan to make their homes. Sometimes it happens that the bureau in the city they come from has already sent word in advance, giving their previous record as to pay- ing habits. One party who came to Bismarck a week ago from another state nad a police record owing to a habit of issuing checks without funds. In addition to this, he left-a bunch of unpaid accounts in the town he came from. He is due to move on, for he ‘can open no accounts here. Canada Also Organized The party who has been in the habit of making his living by opening accounts without any thought of pay- ing for them finds that a new order of things has come into being since | the organization of the National Re- | tail Credit association in 1912. There are now 1100 communities throughout the United States and Canada thor- oughiy organized, all banded together through the national association. Each bureau makes it a part of its business to record the paying habits of each individual in its community. ‘When a new resident comes to either Mandan or Bismarck, if his record has not already preceded him, he is inter- viewed in a friendly way by the credit bureau manager and his occu- pation and former residence ascer- tained. With these 1100 connections throughout the United States it be- comes an easy matter for the manager 1 here to obtain the necessary informa- tion needed by the credit grantors of | this community. ‘When’ .Is Another Factor A credit grantor wants to know whether an account placed upon his | books is there to stay or whether it will be taken care of, and when. It makes some difference when an ac- count is paid. There are those who are perfectly safe to do business with, yet unprofitable to the credit grantor for the reason that they take their own time about paying their ac- counts. The credit risk which is de- sirable to all credit grantors is the individual who makes it a habit to pay his bills promptly every 30 days. An account that must be kept on the books for 90 days or over is termed “unprofitable” for the reason that the investment by the creditor grantor, if all accounts were paid on this basis, | would be too great for the volume of business done. Our merchants are trying to in- crease their volume by lowering the price of goods. These smaller profits are possible only through a 30-day turnover of their book accounts. ‘The individual whose account is in- vited and who really becomes an as- set to our Bismarck-Mandan commu- nity is the one who comes here with @ 30-day paying record behind him. The fact that a man’s name appears in the weekly credit bulletin which goes out confidentially to 165 mem- bers in the two cities is proof that the bureau already has made or is making investigation regarding such individual's ‘paying habits. Most Business Men In There still remain a few who re- fuse who cooperate with the majority of credit grantors and who think they can judge a man by his looks. These few are rapidly being converted to the modern method of cooperation or eliminated from business. 3 Members of the Bismarck-Mandan Credit bureau have a direct contact with the complete credit records, cur- rent and antecedent, on the 60,000,000 consumers contained in the files of the 1100 credit bureaus in as many towns and cities throughout the United States, thousands of records on Canadian consumers as contained in the files of the 12 Canadian bu- reaus, and millions in England and continental Europe. What is this worth to you? A collection department is main- tained which is rapidly becoming a clearing house for both Mandan and Bismarck of all past due accounts. Through this depattment the bureau keeps constantly in touch with the wage-earner and le-‘::3 irom first- hand contact the exact attitude of the individual toward his obligations. ‘There is a saying among credit men that everybody pays for credit bureau service if he is a credit grantor. The non-member pays in increased sharge-off at the end of the year. Nature Wreaks Havoc ous grains was given increased at- tention in the matter of mositure and protein tests. These big tasks of Agent Miesen were reviewed earlier in the Tribune news columns. These projects will be renewed in the new year. Special attention will be given to sheep parasites in this county and stress laid on wool, a ram sale yproject, a lamb pool, pure sires and other major features. That the purebred livestock project cov- ered extensive transactions is shown by the annual report of the agent. There are such items as: Ewes im- ported, 5000 at average of $13 per head, $65,000; rams distributed di- rectly, 125 at $35 a head, $4,375; sires sold, 50 at an average of $140 each, $7000; female stock, 50 head at $90 each, $4,500; total, $18,875. Another activity that claimed con- siderable attention of agent Miesen was the gopher poisoning campaign in the northern townships of the county, in which 345,600 acres were treated to destroy the pests. The county spent $450 in this campaign. Drives on Coyotes and Hoppers A drive on coyotes was an inter- esting feature o£ the extension work in 1928 Fr-mers organized group hunts, besides warring on the pre- datory pests with hounds, and about 50 coyotes were hunted down. A grasshopper campaign covered about 800 acres of farm land in the county. Poison bran bait was spread and the pests were brought under| control, From time to time Agent Miesen gave attention to poultry. demon- strations and treating ailing flocks for various ills among them, records note about 20 such investi- gations. He culled 20 flocks of an average of 150 birds, an average at- tendance of eight farmers being recorded. The largest line.

He made 1318 farm visits and came in contact with 563 farmers on these. His visits included also 60 homes and 44 junior club mem- bers. Calls at the office numbered 2522 and telephone calls were 1901. Of the days of the year he spent 128 in the office and 187 in the field. In addition to the visits and calls at the office and conversations over the wire Agent Miesen had to write 1738 individual letters and 26 cir- cular letters, while he mailed out 9291 circular letters. Demonstration Held in Field Meetings with community or loc: leaders numbered 28, with an tendance of 277. Demonstration meetings numbered 39, with an at- tendance of 4233. In farmers it stitutes there were 48 held and their attendance totaled 23,327. The agent wrote 166 articles for the press. One sow thistle control demon- stration was held, three for other weed control, 30 acres being cover- ed in the first and 1200 in the second. Assistance extended farm- ers in relation to seed purchases was quite extensive. Ten were as- sisted on corn, 300 on wheat 50 on cats, 30 on flax and 12 on rye. The yeue of seed so bought was $15, Farmers assisted in marketing crops numbered 40 corn growers, 300 wheat growers, 25 in oats, 30 in flax and five in rye. In forage crop seed selection, 40 farmers were assisted in alfalfa seed purchases, 75 in sweet clover, 12 in potatoes. Two farmers were assist- ed in planting orchards, 75 swine raisers, 80 sheep owners and 100 poultrymen. The attendance at these was 1620. In disease control, 120 herds were tested, totaling 2400 head and locating 21 reactors. accounts and costs or pther economic The agent’s records show that two conferences were held in the county, with an attendance of 120, while 300 farmers were assisted in some phase of farm management work. Farmers assisted in obtaining some form of credit numbered 75, the total of credit being $60,000. One marketing organization was formed during the year, the wool pool, This has a membership of 100. Prior to this pool there were nine marketing organizations in the out.

PHILANTHROPY GETS STEEL MILL WEALTH New York, Dec. 31.—(?)—-Tho wealth which America gleaned from its steel mills, its ofl mills, its oil wells, its manifold industries, was poured into philanthropy’s coffers in 1928 with a generosity which surpassed that of last. year.
