PAYSON, UTAH Friday, March 29, 1929 BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN THE TWELFTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT j t In the Twelfth Reserve District sea- sonal activity in industry and trade was weel maintained during Febrbusiuary, 11)29, and the volume of ness transacted continued at levels above those of a year ago. Preliminary reports for March indicate that the customary spring expansion in activity has been experienced during that month. Demand for credit was relatively heavy during February and early March, and interest rates ranged high er than at any time in recent years. The banking record of the period is distorted by the financial adjustments which accompany the March tax assessment and tax payment dates, but over the period as a whole it gives some indication of underlying credit Total loans at reporting trends. member banks of the District increased from 1,293 million dollars to 1,306 million dollars between February 6 and March 20, the result entirely of increased securities loans. Commercial loans of these banks on March 20 were 2 million dollars or 0.2 per cent below a year ago and their security loans were 73 million dollars or 21 per cent above a year ago. Total discounts at the federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco declined from 82 million dollars on February 6 to 72 million dollars on March 20, but were still 9 million dollars or 14 per cent higher than in March, 1928. Interest rates on all classes of paper have tended upward during recent weeks. Expansion of industrial production during February was largely the result of increased activity in the mining and the petroleum refining industries. The copper mines of the District are now quite generally operating on overtime schedules. Unfav-orablweather during February caused some reduction of lumber output, but early March reports gave evidence of the resumption of an active production program. The downward trend in the volume of urban building continued. Trade was well maintained during February and was more active than a year ago. After allowance for the usual seasonal movements, reported value of sales at wholesale and at retail was smaller than in January. The volume of merchandise carload-ing- s in the District was unchanged as compared with the previous month. Sales of new automobiles increased by more than the usual seasonal during February. leather conditions have not been v-t- NLodemize your oun home with famous du Pont colors RESTRICTED FLUE CHOKES OFF FIRE IN HEATING PLANT vv v home-owner- f fffffffffffffffffF' FOR SALE: ture. 5J4 acre pasInquire of John J.

But from the letters people write me. it appears that thef do not know how or what to do, or what to do or to keep from doing. The problem that confronts community is one of selling: you have to sell your town sell people onevery your town. It sounds simple and it is simple when you know how. A few years ago I had the pleasure of conducting a campaign to sell a state. In practically every town someone would say, Thats simple and sounds like a good idea, but wholl buy it? The procrastinator and the fellow who wa3 satisfied with things as they were would say, This is a pretty good town; why sell it? And the knocker would chime in with, That is a good idea. Sell it and get rid of it, Then there was the individual who said, Wal, we been gittin along all these years without it, why should we change now? Perhaps you think the same, as pertains to selling your community, but regardless of how you feel or think, the fact nevertheless remains that you must sell vour community sell people on your community if the place where you live is to keep pace with modern times. For a community to be modern it must keep up to and ahead of other communities. If one community makes rapid strides to the betterment of living and working conditions, becomes a more attractive and interesting place to reside in, if its people are happier, more content and more prosperous, its up to other communities to profit by their experiences and not only do the same, but outdo them! To keep ahead be modern requires constant changing. Bruce Barton says, When we quit changing were through, and to change requires salesmanship. Selling a town or community is like selling anything else: First is there a market? Second is it marketable suitable for sale as is, so that when sold it will stay sold? Third to whom is it to be sold wholl buy it? Fourth how can it be sold? And fifth wholl sell it the sales force Answer these five questions; know the facts, and apply the knowledge to your town, and all problems of growth, progress and prosperity will come as a matter of course. These questions can be answered will be answered in this column, steo by step. If you will read them, study them, and do your part, jou will be the one to gain. In Tact, its up to you! ) ou are to your town the same as a salesperson to a store. The store may have good goods, excellent stocks, right prices, a good manager and everything that a first class store should have; but if the clerks are indifferent, not interested whether they give you service or not, do not know the stock, and dont sell you the way you like to be sold, sooner or latter competition with salesmen and saleswomen who know their stuff and serve you the way you want to be served, will put that store on a back street or completely out of business, and the clerks looking for another job. Your newspaper, service- - clubs, chamber ot commerce, and other civic organizations can spend thousands of dollars and months of time, but in the end it denends on Its not a duty alone its business: good business if you do poor business if you dont. , Tours is a good town can be made a better town so get sold on it.

Close the Regulate the draft dampers for moderate burning just as you do ordinarily, open the smoke pipe damper and leave the furnace alone for half an hour. Then open the flredoor. If smoke and gas pour out, It is a sure sign that the draft is too weak. Among the various chimney defects that cause weak draft, one of the most common is a flue that is not straight Some chimneys are built with double but single walls up to the roof-lin- e walls above. In such case the upper part of the flue Is larger than the rest, and that causes eddies near the top which prevent the smoke and gases from escaping readily. Sometimes just the reverse condition Is found. The flue Is restricted fire-doo- Some of the More Common Chimney Defects Eddies at Chimney-topRestricted Flue; Air Pockets. ; near the top. This reduces the effective flue area. Another auuse of air pockets that arrest the flue action by causing eddies occurs when the front of an old fireplace connected with the flue Is covered with lath and plaster. Whenever the use of a fireplace Is discontinued, Its flue opening should be bricked up smooth and air tight, not Just covered over. All these defects Increase the tenCopyright, 1929, A. D. Stone.
