WILL IT HIT THEM?
Travelling Men vitality Interested
in Hardware Combine.
THEY DON'T WANT TRANSFERS
Realize Possibilities of Other
Combinations.

There is much speculation. among the
travelling men Of the northwest regarding
the effect the proposed hardware combine
will have upon the travelling force of the
various houses. 1t was announced from
New York that the promoters realized
much consideration must be given the in
fluence Of personal relations between the
travelling man and the customer on the
volume of business, and that present
plans included the retaining Of. the tray-
cling forces Of all houses. Where terri
tory was overworked, men would be trans
ferred to territory where different condi-
,tions prevailed. $3.50
There is a feeling among the travelling
men, however, that the combine means an
immediate consolidation of some north
western houses and the consequent elimi-
cling force. The talk ofltransferring men
from one territory to another is far from
pleasing to the average northwestern
hardware salesman. Most of the sales
men own homes and property in the sec
lions where they are employed and would
be averse to making a move. - Twelve OF
the houses in the consolidation are thor
oughly represented in the northwest. It
will be the policy Of the combine to divide
the territory among the various big CEN
tiers and this will Immediately result In
!.
instance, the Simmons Hardware COM
pany of st. Louis, which has been an ag
gressive invader of the northwest, will
now be confined to territory nearer St.
Louis. The MarshalWells Hardware
company Of Duluth would probably be
pulled out of the far western trade and
that territory left to the direction Of the
Pacific coast houses. If this combine can
be successfully worked i'll the hardware
trade it is believed the promoters will
have better success in organizing other
branches of jobbing.
There is no doubt but that the long list
Of high priced buyers now in the employ
of the various houses will be materially
reduced. This is one part of the economy
program which will be put into effect from
the start. It is proposed to handle the
buying and other expensive items con-
nected with the business by compare
lively few men in the st. Louis and New
York Headquarters.

THE "13" HooDoo
Candidates Shy About Accepting

No one in this enlightened day and place

very ones who rail most against the alb
surdity of signs, unlucky influences and
the like may be the. ones who shy the
worst at popular "hoodoo."
Many political candidates have refrained
from filing their affidavits with the county
auditor because the next one will be num-
Der 10. When the twelfth had been re-
corded Hugh Scott was urged to take this
number and show himself superior to COM
mon superstition. Mr.. Scott guessed that
he was not ready yet. Other prospective
candidates were besought to take the fate

Now many of these intend to get on the

time, but they decline to. get in until No.

The work Of Rev, Ferdinand Schiverea,
the evangelist is creating strong i'm
preston in Minneapolis, especially among
the working. classes, to which it is espe-
cially addressed. Preconceived notions
of the Presbyterian church incline one to
think of it as addressing work to the more
intellectual class of society. In this
movement the church has put itself on
record as being deeply interested in the
spiritual needs of the working classes.
Mr.. Schiverea was secured because of that
fact. Himself once a workingman, he is
peculiarly adapted to this particular work.
He knows the conditions which surround
workingmen, and speaks with great pow
er. They readily recognize that he is a
genuine friend and accord sympathetic
listening to the end.
The main feature of his evangelistic
work is the meeting of the men in shops
and factories during the leisure of the
