For the afternoon session, Lecturer

bers of Little River grange, but the
special feature will be an address on
Salesmanship by Brother Arthur ].
Birdseye of Pennington grange.
Craftsmanship has been defined as
the ability to sell goods at a profit.
The impression has long prevailed that
statesmen were born and not made as
in other departments of human activ-
ity, however bright men have here
found it possible to profit by the ex-
perience of others, and all large COM
mercial enterprises now a great deal
in the way of training their statesmen.
As state agent for a life insurance
company for the past ten years, Mr..
Birdseye has been particularly sue
cessful in training men to sell insur-
ance. On this account he was select
ed last fall and given first place among
list OF names IN Hartford Of men
who might be induced to conduct
class in craftsmanship in the institute
connected with the Y NJ. c. A This
class was the largest in the institute
this year.
Government statistics show that as
rule farmers receive about one-third
Of the retail price for their products.
Mr.. Birdseye's address is sure to prove
of direct practical value to every pat
ron who seeks to enjoy more equita-
BILE share in the fruits of his labor.
