.rhe Devil" Coming to |. ,un,.

In Henry w. Savage's only auth.
orized version of Franz Molnar's
remarkable comedy drama. The
Devil which will be offered at the
La Junta Theatre. Saturday. October
18th. the Evil One is represented
by a parsonage who TO the outward
appearance bears the impress Of a
gentleman.
He has a smiling. genial counten-
ance. an oily tongue. and barb in
his wit that gives distinction to his
every utterance. This character.
whose only mission during the action
of the drama is TO lure souls to
ruin. appears under the name of Dr.
Miller. He comes unheralded into
the studio of young artist, Karl
Mailer. where Olga Hoffman. a for
mer sweetheart OF Karl. out now the
wife of rich tanker. has been
brought by her husband to have her
portrait painted.
The love affair between Karl and
Olga is dead and she has selected a
bride for him. beautiful young girl
to whom he Is to be presented that
night at a ball she Is giving for that
purpose. But DR.. Miller has other
designs and beginning with clever in
situations. acting first upon one
and then upon the other. he under
takes to convince them that they
still love one another. With a very
clever array OF sparkling epigrams
and glittering aphorisms endeavors
to bring about his unholy designs.
| The spectator is suddenly made to
realize that the sinister doctor was
chosen by the dramitist to repre-
sent the voice Of the tempter and
that the lesson he has driven home
| with such sledge-hammer blows is
that sin cannot be trifled with. that
once yielding to its SIRENS voice
may lead to destruction.

theme, and have aired themselves.
sociaisde economists have advocated
the annihilatlon Of the middlemen as
class OF non-producers The farm
ers Of the country are trying to devise
means Of doing away with sharks
that produce nothing, and make liv-
ing on the labor of Others" But the
ones who are so DESTROYS to see the
middlemen done away with viii have
to wait for a few thousand years.
The jobber and the little storekeeper
are necessary In the distribution Of
products. They are most important
parts Of the machinery OF commerce.
To illustrate; large manufacturing

Its products are sold by more than
100000 stores. These stores are 10.

Perhaps it costs the concern ten per

by the jobbers. II the concern at

the retailers 1t would be necessary to
carry 100000 accounts.
There would be required a shipping
force Of several hundred men. The
freight on the small amounts of goods
that would be called for would be enor-
nous over the cost Of shipping In
trainload or carload lots. The delay
in the transportation Of goods a long
distance would be costly. Should the
company not send goods direct from
the factory distributing stations
would have to be established. These
would have TO be maintained at a cost
greater than the ten per cent. paid to
the jobber for the warehouse charges

the employment Of travellers. Be-
sides, the manufacturer would be COM

The jobber sends out a traveller and
he sells few hundred kinds of goods,
the makes Of a few hundred different
factories. Here we have cooperation
that is sane and profitable and it is
doubtful whether the time will ever
come when the jobber and the traveller
will be out Of business. The present
system is the development of eighteen
hundred years or more Of experience.
1t is doubtful whether the inventive
brain Of man can devise any other
system of distribution that will be an
improvement. Don't worry about the

ARE KILLERS OF TRADE.
surething Grain and Live Stock Buy
ers InIure Business Of Towns.

Mr.. Enterprising Citizen, did you
ever consider what an influence there
is In having your town recognized as
a good grain market, a place where
the farmers can dispose of their hogs
and all their products at as high prices
as paid elsewhere? We're you ever
unfortunate enough to live in a town
where the grain buyer or the hog
buyer was a skinfint. and not liked
by the farmers?
There is a county seat in a western
state, well located in a rich district,
and well supplied with railroads A
few years ago there we're good stores
IN the town. and 1t was prosperous
place. Farmers came from many
miles about to sell their stock and do
their trading. There was a change in
the elevator and in the hog-buying
business. The newcomers we're built
on the wrong plan. They we're out
after the money, and didn't care much
how they got it. The elevator man re-
fused to pay what grain was worth.
He could find more fault with load
Of wheat or Of corn than any man
ought to. He sklmped on quality,
every kind, no matter how good, was
a low grade, and the farmers soon
found that he was not the kind Of man
that they wanted to deal with. The
new stock buyer was Of the same
stripe. He would beat the farmer
down to the last cent, and it was said
that the way he would weigh was
caution, and the fellows who had stock
to sell would steer clear Of the town.
Farmers would drive a few miles fur
ther to another town. where they
would purchase the supplies that they
needed. It got 50 that whenever
farmer was seen IN the town It was
for the purpose Of paying taxes or
looking after some business at the
courthouse. To-day the town is a
dead one. Both the grain buyer and
the hlg buyer are out Of the town, but
the farmers got in the habit Of trad.
ing elsewhere, and have not forgotten
that the business men Of the place.
judged Of course by the grain buyer
and the hog buyer, we're skinners. If
you are unfortunate In having such
men in your town. devise some means
OF getting them to move TO some other
place. They can do more harm than
a dozen merchants can Offset by
square dealing.
