resident and who has served in
his present connection for more
than six years as superintendent
of the American Central Life
Insurance Company, over a large
district in the Panhandle. Of-
fices of the firm are in the
Amarillo Building, 685-637, Am-
arillo, Texas.
Marion will supervise the work
of 20 agencies in this territory
and will be in Canadian often

agency.

PROTECTION FOR FARMERS
A suggestion from John E. Hill
of Amarillo to Forbes Magazine
that the time has come for the
farmers to have the same trade
protection as industrialists have
received, has brought numer ous
expressions of approval from fin-
ancial leaders.
Mr. Hill said, in effect, that
unless manufacturers and indus-
trialists agree to some plan that
will benefit the farmers, that the
purchasing power of the country
will greatly diminish and that
the industrialists will lose out
in the long run.
Letters indorsing his sugges-
tion have been received from
Harry Eaton, noted financier of
Washington, and from Theodore
H. Price, internationally-famous
economist.
Forbes Magazine printed Mr.
Hill's letter, which was as fol-
lows:
"We believe the time has come
for some great and courageous
national leader to convince the
industrialists of America that
the great sustaining body are
those who derive their living and
their purchasing power from the
soil, and that they should 'be
protected against the raw pro-
ducts of other countries, the same
as our industrialists have had
protection for many years, in
order to continue the prosperity
of our country.
"You might contribute greatly
to national welfare by getting
our industrialists to look beyond
their immediate problems, look-
ing rather at the problems of
that great potential purchasing
power of those who produce our
first national wealth, which
comes from the soil."—Aiparillo

The largest amount of business ever done by the
Canadian post office was in 1929, when the gross receipts
from January 1, 1929 to December 31, 1929, amounted to
¥12,747.88. Last year, which will go down in the history
of the country as a bad business year most places almost
equalled 1929, in Canadian, so far as the gross sales at
the local post office are concerned. The total receipts for
1930, according to R. H. Stone, postmaster, were $12,-
503.94.
Fewer box rents and not so many permits is largely
responsible for the drop of about $240 in business. Mr.
Stone reports Canadian sent out as much Christmas mail
this year as ever, but there was not so much incoming
mail at that season. That would seem to indicate that
persons here were feeling good and had plenty of the
Christmas spirit in 1930.

ANIMAL SHIPPED TO E. S.
F. URAINARI) FOR
SAFEKEEPING.
In order to raise the type of
saddle horses in this vicinity,
the U. S. government has shipped
a thoroughbred studhorse to E.
S. F. Brainaril. The animal is
loaned to Mr. Brainard with the
provision that he feed it and
take good care of it during its
-itay.
The horse is a beautiful sorrel
wh ich arrivetf ; by freight; Sunday
night. It was shipped from El
Reno, Okl'i. Mr. Brainard will
keep the horse on his ranch near
Canadian, for the present. It is
the first time the government
has stationed a horse of this
kind in this vicinity.
The government sent a man
hi.i'c some time ago to confer
with Mi-. Brainard regarding the
ivi.n of such an animal to him.
After looking over his ranch and
the place where the horse will
be kept the horse was shipped.

BETTER OUTLOOK
IS VIEWPOINT OF
LOCAL MERCHANTS
A good gain in combined de-
posits of Canadian banking in-
stitutions is shown in statements
of the three local banks on call
December 31, 19.HO, as .carried
in this week's Canadian Record.
Total combined deposits for the
call are 8! 88,192.95, which is an
increase of $41,216.26 over the
combined deposits of the banks
on call September 24, 1930.
The statements of the banks
are very satisfactory for this
time of year and unusually good
for a period of depression. They
show that this section of the
United States is much better off
than other parts of the country.
Total deposits of the banks as
reported on call December 31,
1930 are as follows:
First National Bank _>i4G4,582.95

Addison Has
Narrow Escape
G. L. Addison and Jep Todd
narrowly escaped death Monday
afternoon, as they were driving
toward Mobeetie, when Addison's
car turned a complete somer-
sault on a sharp turn about 20
miles from Canadian.
Addison sustained a severe
gash above his left eye. He was
taken to the Canadian Hospital
for treatment. He was able to re-
turn to his home Wednesday. Todd
was uninjured and drove the car
to Canadian. The car had its
fenders smashed and some glass
broken.
The car is reported to have
turned over landing upright in a
field across the bar-pit. Both
men got out of the machine after
the accident to see what damage
was done. Addison held the
fence wire down while Todd
drove the car onto the highway.
It was then discovered Addison's
forehead was badly cut.

That the outlook for 1931 is
materially better and that this
community as well as the country
as a whole faces a gradual im-
provement in business conditions
is the viewpoint expressed by
the local business men whose
statements are given below.
The return to optimism has
been one of the outstanding de-
v 1 opments durmg the early days
of the New Year and the views
of the following Canadian merch-
ants voice the trend of local pub-
lic opinion:
M. N. Davie
Panhandle Lumber Company
"We have made plans to ma-
terially improve our yards here
during this year. Repairs will
be made and the whole yard will
be re-roofed and repainted. The
office and display room will be
redecorated.
"Road construction planned in
this county will create increased
employment am? will stimulate
building of various kinds. Labor
and materials are cheaper than
they have been in years and never
was there a time when building
could be clone more economically.
Now also is a good time for
building repairs: and remodeling,
as it will give needed employ-
ment and put more money into
circulation-. We believe that con-
ditions will im] rove throughout
1931." :
N. Abraham
| '! I.:-' Fair Store
I e f le Iook ng forvvarct to a
I good year iVuriisg 19S1—in fact,
[thing? are aire: iy beginning to
j'.i'fl'ok: better. Everybody in dif-
I . or-siit parts of the country are
1 .turning hands arid progressing
towards making better times and
so are we. You can be assured
that we are going to keep our
stock in tip-top shape at all
times and are going to give best
values to suit everyones' purses.
Let us all look forward to better
times and start the year out
right."
L. A. McAdams
B. M. B. Mercantile Company
"Conditions are far from sat-
isfactory, but retailers are en-
gaged in a work that is abso-
lutely necessary. The public,
even in depression, cannot live
without buying. Something like
forty billions of dollars will be
| spent in retail trade in the United
[States during 1931. Those con-
cerns who are willing to face a
|reduced expense account and
| closer control of their merchan-
dise stocks and at the same time
develop a vigorous type of sales
promotion will come through the
New Year with fairly satisfac-
tory results."
W. C. Isaacs
President, Canadian State Bank
'Inasmuch as the year of 1931
is still in its infancy, coupled
with the fact that tons of op-
timistic predictions will not bring
a return of prosperity, still our
institution will work with our
clients and with our capital to
bring about better times.
"When we have paid our debts,
started sane spending and sane
saving and have diversified our
prospective resources then we
can look for better times. And
I hope this may happen before
the close of 1931."
A. O. Buckner
Buckners'
"I fee! that Canadian has a
very bright future for spring
and summer activities. The
highway contract will be let in
February and home labor will
be used as far as it will go.
There are fine prospects for a
bumper wheat crop, with bright-
er prospects for better prices.
Let's all put our shoulders to
the wheel and push on. Success
will crown our efforts if we
will push ahead' and not side
step. We have confidence in our
people, our country and our gov-
ernment."
