BANKERS GETTING WISE.
They See Danger in the MaiIOrder
System Of Business.

It is only lately that bankers OF the
west have cofHe to realization that
the mai-ordef system of business has
been serious injury to them, killing
off the business OF their towns taking
out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro.
gress.
The trouble has been with many
bankers that they failed To consider
the buying goods-away trombone evil
AS anything of particular concern TO
them When Farmer Smith would
buy draft for $50 or 500 to send
to Chicago the banker got his ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead. while the facts re,
manned that il he could keep the
money from being sent from home
that $50 Of the farmer for the banker
might make dollar or tTo OF profit
1t was only when the catalogue
houses started in TO solicit deposits OF
the people Of country towns and farm
ing communities that the bankers
took y tumble
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea Of their position In
the town that the goods TO b. had

enough. fer themselves and families.
and set a bad example before the peo-
pie by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way OF staples
and luXuries Bankers are conserya,

suggestions to their patrons as to
what they should do with their money
but in this matter it appears sufficient.
~ important TO Justify The exercise of
what influence the banker can com.
mand in behalf of home patronage It
is the business of the town and sur.

to the bank The greater this volume

To Brinkley Parents.

There are number OF complaint.
being registered by Brinkley parent:
and friends against the influence o.
the pool and billiard hall and ten pir
alleys in our city.
Some OF these parents. no doubt,
have Just cause for their complaint
They say that their sons are permit
ted to stay in the place until midnight
and longer, that gambling goes en- in
them, etc. Said a mother. These
places are the next thing TO the saloon
In point Of danger to we parents and
they should not be permitted to exist
in our city
Now in regard TO this, the ARGUS
has this to say
Get something better to attract the
young men than the pool halls. Fer
years the ARGUS has been trying to
interest the parents Of Brinkley in es-
taolshing a 7. M. c. A. fer our boys
and young men.
The parents forget that young men
and boys seek genial compaaionship.
They gather at the pool hall-aoout
the only available place for them TO
get togethsr-and in idling away the
hours they indulge in the chance tax
ing. betting games. This goes on for
night after night and the first thing
they know, a habit is formed.
II the parents and business men Of
Brnkley would only wake UP to their
real sense OF duty. they would see that
one OF the best ways in the world to
stop the pool hall nuisance they com
plain Of. is to join together in estab-
fishing a Y. M. C. A.

GAMES OF sHARPERs.
Some Of the Methods uecd for Secur-
ING Money g shonsstly.

! Millions upon millions Of dollars are
| fraudulently taken from the pockets
| Of the people year after year through
! the operation of confidence men. The
! schemes used by these men are numer.
| Gus Nearly all are based npon the
| fact that the average person is always
willing to take the best of a bargain
During the past few months swim
| dlers have been operating in different
parts of the country. and their method,
while a modification of an old swim
| ding game, has some new features
| worthy OF notice Their usual proceed
ure is TO locate farmers who are not
well known to local bankers and loan
men They approach the farmer and
under pretext of seeking to purchase
farming land manage in some way 10
secure his signature This is general
" done by inducing him to write
letter. or TO sign some statement.
Once the signature is secured. flctt-
tious deed to the farmers land is pre-
pared and this is fixed up in such a
manner as TO show the seal Of some
notary or other officer Then with
this deed the swindler is in position TO
negotiate a loan uron the land. This
game has been successfully worked in
a number of western states.
Residents OF agricultural districts
should be continually on their guard
against the signing of receipts or any
kind Of contract which may be pre-
sented to them by strangers. Within
the past year some smooth swindlers
have succeeded in securing thousands
of dollars on fraudulent notes, secur-
ing from farmers. who were fool II
enough to take for trial washing ia
chimes refrigerators. etc, and to give
their receipts for the same. These re-
ceipts turning up later as negotiable
notes
The writer of checks cannot be too
careful in filing in the amounts The
favorite methods Of the check receiver
is to insert after the words six"
seven eight or nine" the letter
~ or "ty" and change the ciphers in
the check accordingly Thus it can be
seen that a check written for eight
dollars by the addition OF the letter
~ can be made TO read for eighty
dollars and the changing Of the
amount. if it be in numerals. by the
addition OF cipher. makes the forgery,
when we'll executed hard to discover.

Some Of tie Virtues in Friendly Riv.
airy Between Merchants.

Good. healthy competition and
friendly rivalry, devoid Of all spirit of
hogeishness, IS a good thing for any
town Each and every business man
and property owner in town. and the
country Immediately surrounding it
should be intensely interested in every
project, particularly should every mer
chant be active in matters that means
general prosperity for the place, and
which will increase trade for all the
merchants of the town. People gen
orally like to do their trading in towns
where there are well kept stocks and
plenty variety of goods, and where
there is sufficient competition as to
assure low prices consistent with good
business judgment There is little use
for the merchants of place to blow
and brag about their business unless
they can demonstrate that they are
delivering the goods and satisfying
their customers There is no good to
be looked for by merchants decrying
the goods and the methods of their
brother merchants There is no more
effective way Of killing the business of
4 town than BY fostering a spirit OF
petty jealousy and Of narrow selfish
ness Wherever such spirit is found
It viii he discovered that trade is be-
ing turned TO some other town where
merchants and business men work
more in harmony with one another.

WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Film re Shou
Advertise, and How.


An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed In ge'uiho
the business OF the rural communities
away from local merchants;
''If the mail order houses got sI.ooV
out Of this county each month tnat De-
longs to the home merchants the 1auit
is with the merchants themselves me
mail order houses advertise and give
us prices on everything they oner LOT
sale They tell us what they nave
and what they want for it, or course
we get soaked once in awhile ana II
we do we can try some other mouse.
Most of the home merchants VINO su'
vertse at all don't quote prices lheF
neglect to tell us what we want TO
know-the price. or course we can go
to the store and ask the price OF TINS
article. and that, but you know now
it is-one doesn't know so well exact
ly what he wants to buy when ne gets
in a store as when he is at home. Ana
there is where the mail order houses
make their hit. They send us their
advertising matter into homes and we
read it when we haven't anything else
to do and every member OF the family
who reads their stuff usually hnds
something that he or some other mem-
Der of the family wants and many or
ders are made up and sent out just at
such times.
Right here is where the home mer-
chant falls down If he talked up his
business to us in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be in to see him the next time
they came to town and in many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at once that We didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
"The home merchant can save the
expense of getting up catalogue. We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue,
and il the merchant wants to talk
business with Us let him put his talk
in the home papers, and put it in so
that we know he means business. The
home merchant likely nine times out
of ten, sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses, and ] believe on
many things they are much cheaper.
but how are we to know if he doesn't
tell us about it.
"A Merchant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods so we'll that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
ct is none of my business how the
home merchant runs his business, but
don't like to see these roaSts in the
papers all the time about us fellows
who get little stuff shipped in once
in awhile and never anything said on
the other side. There are always two
sides of a question. and | have given
you mine If it is worth anything to
you you can take it."
