TAFT TO open
GRIP" At FAIR
PRESIDENT WILL HAVE CHARGE
or IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY
WHICH WILL BE HELD AT
INTERSTATE FAIR AT
SPOKANE, SEPT. 20.

President Taft has been chosen by
the travelling statesmen of the Pacific
northwest to "open the grip at the In
terstate fair at Spokane the week Of
Sept. 20, when he will be their guest.
This ceremony is to take the place Of
pressing a golden button. The invita-
lion was extended by Congressman
Miles Poindexter, of Spokane, and w.
p. Edris, chairman OF the executive
committee of the Travelling Mems club
and postmaster elect Of this city, has
received advices that the president will
formally open the fair in person. A
citizens committee, headed by David
t. Ham, and officers of the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce and the One
Hundred and Fifty Thousand club are
arranging for the presidents VISIT, and
from the plans already made it may
be taken that the chief executive will
know when he reaches the heart CT
the Inland Empire. 1t was expected
that President Taft would attend The
seventeenth session of the National Ir-
rigation congress at Spokane, Aug.
| to Ia, but as he will not start on mis-
western trip until Sept Is, the earlier
visit is out of question. 1t is likely
there will be more people from variou:
parts of the northwest gathered to-
gether in Spokane during the presi,
dents stay than have ever been here
on any other occasion, not accepting
4 former President RooseveIt's visit sew
eral years ago.

aThat comnatItor.

Your competitor does not wear horns
A great many gray hairs are brought
out on the heads Of business men be-
cause Of worrying about what compe-
tition will do. and especially some enc
particular competitor 1t seems there
is always one competitor who isafnore
to be dreaded than all the rest One
who tries to sell his goods at cost, or
is especially obnoxious In some ether
way.
Probably you have been getting all
your information about this competi-
tor from your customers, and IL that lis
the case yen can bet that it has been
colored up to make your competitor
appear much worse than he really is.
and about nine times out Of ten you
can also bet the same customer is tell
ing like stories about you to that same
competitor.
Just contract the habit OF paying no
attention TO such information, but get
acquainted with "the animal" so you
can base your Judgment on something
more than rumor OF the worst kind.
Tell him that. you have heard so many
unreasonable reports about him that
you would like to know about what
he really was and was not doing. He
will more than likely meet you at least
half way in friendliness and then you
can talk over the trade abuses.

How He Got Even.

A travelling man who shutters landed
in Salina, Kas., the other day, says The
Herald of that city. He's a good fell
low and knows about his failing, and
under ordinary circumstances acknowl-
elges it with grace, even when some
one is rude enough to mention 1t to
him, as there are some people illbred
enough to do.
And even at that his answer is al
ways pleasant though it may sting a
little.
He spent a good part of the after
noon in trying to sell one grouchy bus
mess man a bill of goods and was not
very successful. The crouch only
grunted here and there during the con-
versation and didn't buy much.
AS the salesman started to leave and
was locking his grips the crouch was
impolite enough to observe in the pres
ence of his clerks:
"You must find the impeachment In
your speech very inconvenient at
times"
OF course, the clerks, poor little pup
pies, had to laugh. Some men exact
admiration of their employees and some
