lFor the News" by II ] Hsprood
"once a salesman always a sales
mani" There is no truth in Il what
ever: the objection is often made TO
salesmanshlp ms business on the
ground that when a man reaches the
top. he wiz have to 60 ON selling
goods all his life. such an objection
- absolutely without foundation,
The modern need Is for salesmen who
can not only sell goods but who, on
reaching their limit Of usefulness, are
able to pass the dead line and de-
velop some other quality OF extra merit
IN themselves. There are any number
Of men who can sell goods and keep a
set of books. but there are compara-
lively few who know how to direct
other men to do these very same things.
This goes a long way towards explain
ing the scarcity of executive men and
the enormous salaries which they COM
mand,
Knowledge alone will not do, It Is
the practical ability TO put knowledge
into execution that wins. Eexecutive
ability may be inherent or inherited,
but 1t can also be cultivated and even
copied. The salesman should, long be-
fore he eliminates study some branch
OF executive work, thus cultivatlng
whatever aptitude he may possess in
this line. and might with profit study
the particular methods of the man who
manages that branch, thus copying
what he cannot cultivate. BY studious
application good, bright salesman
who has reached his effulgence as a
SELLER will soon know enough about
executive work to turn around and
teach other men how to sell and pull
together.

sDiPLIFIED SPELLING.

The advocates of simplfied spelling
have sent out another list of words
which they think ought to be simplifed.

Its first bid for attention was the pub
lication of list OF 300 words now
spelled In two or more ways" with a
recommendation that he simpler spell
ing be made unanimous. Now comes
another list containing seventy-five
words which, 1t is thought, ought to be
simpllfied.

these; Egg for egg, bid for build leag

to have taken the breath away Of many

WAR TALK.

There is some talk about a possible
count Of dispute over the Persian
boundary line. BY an agreement pc
tween Russia and England some time
ago. northern Persia was left to the
protection Of the Gar and on that
account Russia feels that it has a
right to Interfere.
Persia now claims that Turkey has
invaded her territory by permitting
Turkish troops to cross the boundary
line. Turkey denies this, and asserts
that the true boundary line has not
been crossed one would think tina:
Russia, whipped like eur by Japan,
and suffering from internal troubles,
would be glad to attend 10 her own
wounds and leave her nelghbors In
peace But. perhaps the Russian gov
ernment has decided once more to dis
tract attention from her internal trou-
bles by plunging into foreign alyen-
lures
We can hardly believe that Russia
win permit the quarrel with Turkey to
end in an armed conflict but II it
comes TO that It would by no means
be certain that Turkey would get the

except by delays in realizing on their
products. The prices Of most farm
products. and particularly those wh!cn
are exported most largely, hold up

son have small foreign demand are
much harder TO move and dealers and
packers face a probability of carrying
over large stocks. That does not
greatly affect the present purchasing
power Of farmers, but may seriously
affect it next year. As these stocks
are being carried by bankers the
volume Of loanable credits is by so
much reduced The future purchas-
ing power Of labor IS also uncertain.
