OF Interest TO the Salesman.

The first thing that sales person
Is required TO learn Is the habit OF
attention to business. No rational
man or woman In store life repudi-
ates the need for instant and per-
seyering service TO the patron. Ev-
cry earnest sales person admits the
obligation of his agreement to de-
vote his whole time and best thought
to this important duty to the exclu-
sion Of all personal matters. This
need is most urgent under the pres
ent existing shorter hours OF bust
ness. There was time, not far
remote, when the store clerk labor
ed at his post of duty twelve hours
daily. Now, except In some of the
smaller stores, nine hours Is the av-
erage working day We can not
crowd the energy or time of our for
mer twelve hours into our present
nine, but we can reasonably expect
to that the shorter hours of our en-
gagement In business should be de-
voted exclusively to business.
Very common In most stores is the
habit OF some sales people OF stand
ing in groups OF two or more dis
cussing personal affairs or possibly
an insignificant matter Of business.
often to the exclusion of n service so
essentially more lmportant--the
waiting upon a customer at the
counter. Group forming is repre-
hensible, Visitors come and go with
only passing interest in the things
on sale, because that throbbing vi
tel personality that should stand as
the living exponent OF the merchan-
disc becomes, for the time, a nom
entity, in consequence of which the
goods lie quietly by, and the at
mospnere OF business at the counter
remains dead and uninterestlng.
When the sales person learns to real
Ice as an active, keen management
does, that group forming Is positive
~ offensive to the disposition of a
well regulated business, his discern
ment and discretion will guard
against It.
Business and social functions are
radically distinct. and each one re-
quires Its own time and place. One

The city of San Angelo is coming
to the front in the last few years in
conformity with the slogan. Let
Texas grow" We are glad to see
the development of the West Texas
city, and while we doubt the accu-
racy Of some OF their claims, we will
take it for granted that they are in
earnest in the following statement
/ nthe Standard:
What is the actual population of
San Angelo, the Queen City of all
Concho-land the trade center OF one
of the best and largest territories in
the great Southwest? That is ever
and always a most interesting ques-
ton.
Worley's 1908 directory of San
Angelo has just come from the press
and, after a careful compilation of
statistics and a thorough canvass,
the population of San Angelo is es-
tlmated at 1880, which shows the
second greatest percentage of in
crease during the last two years Of
all cities in the imperial state.
The same directory company es-
Inmates the population of Amarillo
at 11,600 and Amarillo is the only
city in the state that has increased
more rapidly than this city, the rate
of increase there being Is per
centum, while in San Angelo the
population, according to the esti-
mate of Worley, has increased 80
per cent within two years.
Even with the greater rate of in
crease in the trade center OF the
Panhandle, San Angelo has nearly
thousand greater population than
Amarillo. In the Panhandle city
street electric cars have been in OPP
Grafton for ten months. In San An
geo the building of street electric
car system will be begun immedi-
ately.
These two towns, one with a
splendid trade territory in the north
western part of the state, and the
other with still better territory in
the centralwestern part of the larg-
est state in the union, afford an in
teresting comparison.
San Angelo is forging ahead at
better clip, and San Angelo is more
richly endowed.

TEXAS RAILROADS
TO HELP FARMERS
From Monday,s pally.l

In recent Dallas dispatch TO III,
ST. Louis Republic the following
most interesting facts are given;
Prospects were never better than
now for the grain farmers OF Texas
at this season OF the year, The win
ter wheat crop is in almost perfect
condition. The oat crop has just
been sown and there are no unfayor-
able reports concerning It, Corn
planting Is about to be started, with
an immense acreage in prospect, and
the land In perfect condition.
In order TO give Panhandle farm
ers a wider market, and to generally
encourage agricultural pursuits, the
Fort Worth & Denver Railroad Co,
announces that, effective March 20,
1908, a rate OF 20 cents per 100
pounds will be established on corn,
kafflr corn and milo maize, from
points on It's line, Chilllcothe, and
north TO Denver and stations on the
Colorado & Southern, between Den
yer and Texllne, on the Texas-Col-
orado border,
w, F. Sterley, general freight
agent, explains that this action is
taken because of the large number
of injuries originating in Colorado
for prices on these grains. For com
paratiyely few years only have the
Panhandle farmers been growing
these cereals, but they have scored
marked success in that time, and the
acreage is being doubled and trebled
and the same over again from year
to year.
Growth of grains has become quite
an item. and the Colorado dealers
are looking to that section of Texas
as an important, field to get sup
plies. Believing that the application
OF favorable rates to Denver will aid
In the development OF the Texas
Panhandle section as a grain belt
and o general agricultural country,
the special rates were decided on.
Mr.. Sterley is confident that next
year, under the new rates, Panhan-
die farmers will not only have a Wild
er, but more active market for
these comparatively new grains.

ILLINOIS MEN FOR

Instead OF having the purchase Of
a bank under consideration as might
have been guessed from their actions
party OF distinguished looking gem
tlemep who we're seen TO look over
the exterior of the First National
bank building and then to visit that
and other banks In turn, were In
Amarillo on their way from Central
Illinois to Roberts county where
they we're TO inspect $4,000 acre
ranch, OF Amarillo and especially
OF her admirable banding facilities,
the visitors had already received a
highly favorable impression, and as
these men come from Kankakee In
the richest part OF Central Illinois,
their words OF praise were more than
gratifying TO the Amarillo man.
Ex.State Senator Len Small, Mr. De-
we're, Mr.. Dixon, Mr.. Robinson, and
Mr.. Dickinson, all OF Kankakee,
made up the party.
All OF the men we're Republicans,
and, quite naturally, we're strong
supporters OF Uncle Joe Cannon,
who Is from their congressional dis
trlct and whom they think is the
strongest presidential candidate now
before the country.
Through the president Of the Palo
DurO park commission and DR.,
Num-, the secretary, the visitors were
ellsted In support Of the work for
the national park in the Palo Duro
canyon and Senator Small promised
to use his influence with Speaker
Cannon and other members OF the
Illinois delegation In congress to-
ward passing the park bill. Sem
stor Small suggested that In stock
Ing the park with game II would be
a good idea to get specimens Of the
old-tlme, long-horn Texas cattle so
that future generations could see
the type OF cattle whose bodies could
literally be packed in their own
horns The senator was also for
immediate action toward preserving
from further destruction by wood
and post cutters, the rare species Of.
cedar found nowhere else in thil
country save in the lower canyon.
The party left Saturday for Rob
erts county to look over the tract
OF land. But II their expressions Of
admiration for the possibilities Of
the Panhandle may be taken as an
indication, the opportunities they
have seen will soon attract them
back In the mean time their CO.
operation In the work for the Palo
Duro park will aid substantially In
carrying that project to success.
