It is the property of TV. J. Crawford, ticket agent, of the Xew York Central railroad, and although It is estimated this car has run from 150,000 to 1130.000 miles, the engine is in good condition. One can see this car in the mornings before 0 o'clock, at noon and evenings going hero and there, always purring along, without the coughing, spitting and banging which may be inherent In very old Fords.

Mr. Crawford says the long life of this car is due to the fact that he never used anything hut. Pennsylvania refined oils and greases, manufactured by the Galena-Signal Oil Company, of this city. Speaking about his car, Mr. Crawford says "I do not believe it would be possible to wear out a Ford car, or any car for that matter, if the owners gave them as much attention as the housewife does her cook stove.

If car owners would lubricate their cars, and grease them in accordance with the instructions printed in the manual accompanying the cars, using Pennsylvania crude products, two-thirds of I he cars now junked would be going strong. More cars are ground out from lack of proper lubrication, or use of poor lubrication, than are worn out from actual use." Mr. Crawford intends to "retire" this car in the near future. He says although he dislikes to part with it, the model is so far out-of-date. 6 body's business! RflIj ADVENTURE OF LM THE ii A MAN A WwTxrH WOMAN AND lM A LYAL DG!

Aigner is in Charge BABSON PARK, March 24. In his weekly interview today, Mr. Babson discusses the state of collections as he finds them from reports which, he is receiving from all parts of the country. His statement is as follows: "A nation wide survey of credit and collection conditions clearly shows that it takes more than huge bank reserves to make money plentiful in the hands of the average business man and) retail consumer. We hear a lot about easy money, but from reports I am receiving it would be pretty bard to make the average man on the sireet believe that 'money is We are just waking up to the fact in this country that there is a vast difference between 'money' and Business men and individuals have already had more credit extended to them than is for their own good.

WORKER INTERESTED IN STEADY EMPLOYMENT, "What the average merchant would like to see is less credit and more cash. The workman is more interested in steady work than he is in the allurements of luxuries 'on easy The manufacturer isn't keen for tieing himself u-p with bank loans. What he wants is to be able to sell his product at a price which will pay the cost of production and leave him some profit. The merchant is tremendously interested in getting people to pay their back bills. "The fact that we in this country have one-half of the world's gold supply does not seem to have prevented scarcity of money in The pockets of the average householder.

Other factors than money, however, are controlling the situation in industry and trade. Productive capacity is so great and competition so keen that only the more efficient manufacturers or merchants can make a satisfactory profit.

i lections during times of good business and to increase the pressure drastically in the times of poor business. It should be the other way round. The psychology of. this is simple. When business is good and your customer has plenty of money he does not resent demand for payment.

When however, your customer is broke, insistence on payment very often makes him ynur enemy, and moreover, you do not get the money. Wise credit men long ago found this out. A much better policy is to increase the pressure at times when business is prosperous, and be as lenient as possible when business is depressed. The sanie thing applies to cities where they have customers and regulate their credit policy with the trend of conditions in those- cities. "While the credit situation today is admittedly somewhat unsatisfactory, there are some encouraging features.

The credit situation appears to he better in the North Western sections where good money for crops has been ''Reports coming to me from different parts of the country indicate that collections 'good' or 'excellent' are few and far between. No doubt the slackening in employment has influenced collections to a considerable extent in the past two months, especially in the Eastern and Middle Western sectious. 1 "Out of fifty leading cities of the country practically forty per cent, state that collections are poor. Last Fall I received reports from nearly one hundred cities and of this number only about 20 per cent, showed collections to be poor. Moreover at that time one-third of the cities registered as good or excellent, whereas now only nine cities state that collections are good.

At present forty-nine per cent, of the cities describe collections as fair. There are. of course, a few bright spots in the reports.

"Instalment buying is. of course, very widespread having lteeu extended to a number of- lines of merchandise which a few years ago knew nothing of it. Recently, however, notice a slowing up in the mad pace of instalment purchases that was set during 1028 and 10C7. Reports from JO leading cities recently show instalment buying increasing in 10 cities, and either decreasing or showing no change in a similar number of cities.

Three cities show instilment buying on the decline. "It seems to me that the credit department of a business should study general business conditions intensive FMCKIZTOEK'S Specials Today Seedless Raisins pkg. 10c Confectionery Sugar, package 10c S. T. KARNS SONS CO.

i states. Inasmuch as collections are directly affected by general business conditions it is reasonable to expect improvement as general business improves. In this connection the good building figures for February are encouraging; also increasing activity in the automobile and steel industries are helpful factors. 'Unemployment should be alleviated, to some extent at least, by the large huiiding program both public and private, by the stimulation of certain linos of industrial activity this Spring, and by the Spring "lantinr in the agricultural sections. An analysis of general conditions for February showed 11 states good, 10 poor, and 27 fair.

Collections and Business. ''It is not so much the amount of blood in our bodies that counts; it's the rate of circulation. It is not the amount of money in business which is most important it's the speed of turnover. The great difference between brisk business and dull business is the rate at which money changes hands. "Apparently business men and people generally do not realize this fact.

Whenever a period of slow-business appears everyone whether he can pay or not. tends to hold on to his money and let his bills go. People seem to ding to their cash balances as if they bad some saving grace to ward off trouble. To have collections slowed down 25 per cent, is exactly fhi s.im spnilinsr a fnnrrh of mir The members of the Young Women's Missionary Society of Grace Lutheran church, assisted by their mothers, gave a very successful doughnut sale on Friday. Their goal was oOO dozen, but by Wednesday evening, orders for 475 dozen were received, and many more were turned down.

When this became known, it was prophesied by those of other churches who had similar affairs, that it could not possibly be done. However, using their Lutheran skill, they went far over the top, although some families were a little bit late iu receiving their orders. Consequently, they are ready to claim their rightly deserved title as the champion doughnut makers. They want to hear from any other person or persons, organization or organizations, who have exceeded 473 dozen in one day. And they will be glad to give out any information in regard to the making of same to anyone who will let his or her desire be known.

The Society fe buying a new carpet for the chnrch and refinishing the church floor, and a very large sum was realized to go toward this. Due credit must be given to the News-Herald, for the advertisement appeared Monday evening in the paper, and immediately phone calls started to come in.
