OUT FOR THE CASH.
Organizations Which Prey Upon the
Business People as Well as Others.

Now and then comes the news OF
the formation of some new-fangled or
ganization. Many of them are de-
signed to do away with established
systems OF business Most OF them are
schemes devised by insincere persons
who think that they can make some
easy money through the work. Plans
proposed are of the most impractical
and visionary kind Not long since
what was known as the South Dako-
ia" plan was undertaken, and II in
volved a complete revolution Of es-
tablished business methods. 1t was
proposed to have the backing OF
Standard Oil interests to the extent OF
s20,000.000 and with this great amount
establish supply houses in large cities,
issue immense catalogues with the
names of merchants who would use
them, and supply all these merchants
with the goods listed 1t was a bril-
liant scheme. Should such plan be-
come operative and successful 1t
would be the building up of a NAM
moth monopoly to fight the retailers OF
the land or compel them to become
merely agents of the concern. There
is only one way to fight the trade
away-from- home evil. and that is by
educating the people to the fact that
the system is wrong, is unjust and con
trary to economic laws; that the farm
er and the laborer who patronize other
than home enterprises is working
against his own interests. This is
tedious process. It is an expensive
thing to do. and the only way 1t can be
done is by the liberal use of printers
ink, by utilizing the home papers that
are as deeply interested in the build
ing up of the home town and COM
munity as the merchants. the bankers
and as the farmers should be-

Our Common Protector.

Did you ever think that the govern
ment is a great obliterator of prize
schemes. premium games. adulterated
foods. ETC.? 1t surely is. and the time
is not far of when 1t will take hand
In the methods of selling goods, and
let it be hoped cut out such schemes
as coupons and the premiums in gen
eral. Fraud one way is just as bad as
fraud some other way. The lottery
principle involves the plan of making
a great majority contribute toward the
payment of sums to a mighty small
minority. The average premium
scheme works with more certainty. 1t
means that all the users of goods with
which premiums are given must con-
tribute towards paying for prizes
which only about 80 or 40 per cent. OF
the users Of the goods receive. There
are two ways of heading off the
premium deal: One is to educate the
merchants and the consumers to the
truth that the premium racket is a
plan that works against their inter
ests, and the other is to have the gov
ernment prohibit the plan. The for
mer Is hard proposition to handle,
and perhaps the latter is equally SO.
but 1t is more certain and would b,
moro effective.

BUSINESS EXPERTS.
Every Merchant Should Be One II He
Intends to Meet with Success.

During recent years number of
self-styled business experts have come
into existence. They are apparently
the outgrowth Of the advertising
school. They are business builders.
men with ideas, and ready to dispense
services at SO much per dispense. One
of the reasons why this class of experts
exists is the lack OF proper business
education on part of merchants. We're
the average retailer the well-informed
man that he should be there would be
little field for the business specialist.
1t behoves the business man these
days to be in the front rank OF the
well-informed or he is likely to be in
the front rank of bankrupts There is
hardly underground One may be
a plodder for a while, but 1t sooner
or later becomes evident that the re-
taller or the jobber or the man in any
branch OF business who does not keep
up to advanced methods is supplanted
by some one more enterprising. 1t is
only necessary to study the failure re-
ports of any of the large commercial
agencies and the cause of disaster can
easily be discovered 1t is the knowl-
edge of these truths which encourages
the business experts. But strange as
1t may seem. these men who are spe-
cialists and know all about how to
run affairs OF someone else quite often
lack the ability to properly and sue
cessfully conduct business for them
selves.

Privileges Of Old Age.

our COUNTRY PRESS.
Il is Making Progress and 10 Imper-
tsnt to Wide-Awake Advertiser.

Close estimates show that adver-
Using in country papers has increased
fuily 70 per cent the past five years.
This shows that the merchants are
realizing how important 1t is to ad-
vertise. and also shows that there Is
merit In the right kind OF use of print
ers INK. or there would be decrease
instead of continual increase There
can be no doubt that the inroads OF
the mail order houses into trade In
dinerent parts of the country have
aroused merchants to the necessity OF
more extensive advertising
One OF the things that has no doubt
stimulated advertising is the practice
OF many manufacturers supplying deal
ers with electrotypes and ready pre-
pared advertising. There can be no
doubt the trade papers have been i'm
portant mediums in the matter OF in
fuencing merchants to do more and
better advertising. 1t matters not how
the change has been wrought. but It Is
a fact that advertising patronage OF
the country newspaper publishers has
been Increased about 20 per cent. in
five years. This means that the mer-
chants are getting their eyes open.
and are on the right path for the pro
lection of their interests.
Now is the time to start at work
on spring and summer advertising.
There will be heavy trade the com
ing seasons. The people have abund-
ance of ready cash and they are
anxious TO spend some of 1t for things
that they want. The live merchant is
going to get his share of II.
He is going to get just a little more
If he sets out right and does a little
judicious advertising When we say
little we mean that he must use lib
eral space and fill II with the right
kind of ideas. of attention attractors.
Start in early. Take time in studying
out just what you want. You should
have ideas that are worth trying out
some opinions in regard 10 goods that
you carry and want to shove. When
you have carefully weighed the mat
ter, take your printer into your con
fidence and tell him that he must do
his best to get the ideas in the right
kind OF shape. Too often good adver.
tisements fall fiat because the print
er has no knowledge or lacks the
means of setting up an attractive ad
vertisement. 1t will pay the liberal
advertiser to adopt the methods the
great concerns in the cities follow.
Have a certain style of type to use
exclusively in your advertising. II
the printer is too poor to get It for
you, it might be good investment for
you to secure 1t yourself and for your
sole use. II will be different from the
others. and the people will notice it.
1t will be kind of advertising trade
mark for you.

SENATOR McCANDLESS
FAV0RS IMPROVEMENTS

Senator McCandless says he is with
the ladies in the plan to beautify
Florence with heart and soul and II
the promoters of the Civic Improve
ment society will call upon him they
will be given the right to take hold
Of his vacant property in all parts
Of town and improve the same with
lawns and flowers as they see fit. In
addition to giving them the use of the
land to the beautiflers, he will fence
the vacant spots at his own expense
with q nice iron fence.
Senator McCandless has waited for
long time to have the ladies start
movement of this kind and stands
ready to assist them in any way pos
sible. He says the movement should
have been started several years ago.
He Is in favor Of park and wishes
that he had sight that would be
suitable and large enough for such
purposes. By donating the use Of the
land in different parts Of the city he
will DO able to start movement
which will tend to beautify the city
in many places, although small. and
assist In making the city take on more
Of a metropolitan air.
Within the next week or two the
Civic Improvement society will be
launched In earnest and after it's for
nation Is completed there will be
no let up in the work until the ladies
have accomplished that which they
start out to do, namely making of
Florence a more desirable and health

.TEASED DOG AND
INSULTED IT'S OWNER
Mrs. Mary Leffler Prefers
Charges Against DIR. T.
Tucker

OAKLAND. Oct. 12.-Teasing his
neighbor's dog by reaching through
the fence and poking it in the ribs with
broom handle. and offending it's own
er, Mrs. Mary Letter. by swearing at
her every time she steps into her back
yard, are two of the accusations made
against DR.. T. Tucker, a retired physi-
clan living at 12H Meade avenue, who
appeared in the police court this morn
ing to face charge of disturbing the
peace. Judge Samuels gave him until
October 10 to plead.
Among the other accusations made
by Mrs. Letter was one that DIR. Tucker
erected close to her house shed of
such height that the daylight was shut
out of her sitting room. She declared
that she would have made no complaint
about this proceeding, but said that the
alleged abuse of herself and her dog
with profanity and broom. handles was
more than she could endure.
DR. Tucker offered no defense in the
police court this morning, merely re-
questing that the case be continued
until next Monday, when he will enter
his plea.
