Salesmen.

You all know how necessary sales
manship is and are quick to recognize
the value of a good salesman. You
know a poor one will rarely sell pro-
fitable merchandise or do what is just
as important-make friends for your
store. Your course in handling the
salesman problem is perfectly simple.
If you have poor man you get rid of
him and replace him with good one,
and it isn't always easy to do it the
first time either. Good statesmen are
not plentiful but you keep on the look
out until you find one that is what you
want, and you know when you have
him.
Advertising is just as great factor
in your business-mind, says is-as
salesmen are, and should be treated in
the same way. Keep at it, if you
don't get the right kind at first, until
you find your business responding to
the advertising you are doing. You
will know the right kind quickly
enough when you run across it.

HOW TO ADVERTISE.
Pointers from an Address by Mr..
c. w. Gordon, of St. Paul.

Every merchant interested in ad
Vertising should send to the twin City
Commercial Bulletin for copy of the
address recently given by Mr.. G. W
Gordon, of St. Paul. A portion of the
address is given below, but that par
which contained the samples of good
and bad ads is omitted on account o.
/, not having the plates. Mr.. Gordon
said:
The subject of advertising is one
that is of interest to every merchant
big or little, wholesaler, retailer, who
has anything to sell, because every
merchant advertises. I suppose you
think that is a pretty strong state
ment, but it's fact and before have
finished I think you Will agree with
me.
No merchant can get along without
advertising and there are good many
of US who do lot of advertising that
is poor and doesn't pay. Some of us.
when we realize that the advertising
we are doing isn't bringing results.
charge the failure to advertis
ing in general without trying to find
out the real cause. Too many men
look upon advertising as an expert
ment in business and poorly directed
advertising bringing scanty returns is
enough to damn the whole idea forth

Rape as Fall Feed for Sheep

Mr.. G.. w. Hale, a large farmer of
Fillmore County, sows several hun
dred acres of rape each year with his
grain crops. In the fall he buys sew
eral carloads of sheep to eat off this
crop and reports that he gets from 80
cents to $500 per acre extra each year
after getting his regular crop of corn
or grain. This certainly is an advan-
tage over getting nothing from the
stubble fields and allowing them to
produce weed seeds.
When land is very rich there is
some danger that the rape may grow
too large in the grain and cause trouble
in harvesting and curing the crop.
In such cases it is well to SOW the rape
after the grain is up, thus giving the
grain considerable start. The rape
may be scattered in the field any con-
venient way, as by hand or with
hand broadcast seeder. 1t may be
scratched in with a weeder or left
until rain comes which will start it.
When it is sown at the same time as
the grain crop, it Of course is mixed
with the grain, and in such case there
is no cost for sowing.

Palmer Home
to Help Elect
Breen Mayor
Returns from Cuba, Where He Spent
Winter with Mrs. Palmer
for Her Health.

Captain Henry 4. Palmer returned ia
Omaha from Cuba Thursday to help elect
John Paul Breen mayor of Omaha.
Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer have spent the
winter in Cuba for the benefit the climate
would have on Mrs. Palmer's health. Last
fall she suffered from pneumonia and had
a narrow escape. Her physicians said the
West Indies would be the place for her
during the winter and she returns much
improved.
They put the proposition up to me to
run for mayor after they had a petition
with GOO names on IT," said Captain Palmer.
81 looked over that list OF names and Il
had the signatures of men who do not
ordinarily get on petitions and make them
selves felt in politics and my reply was
that II my friends had 800 names Il could
not refuse to be a candidate.
Had l been nominated I would have
been elected. Certain elements entered into
my candidacy which are not commonly
known and l would certainly have been the
next mayor Of Omaha.
But my first duty was to Mrs. Palmer.
I could have reached Omaha two weeks
ago had l been nominated, but as Il is I
am back here to help elect Mr.. Breen. We
ought to have a republican city adminlstra-
ton. I have known MIR. Breen for years.
He will certainly be the next mayor and
anything I can do will not go undone.'

Another Hold

Uncle Sam is Said to Be Concealine
a New Element in Swind-
ling Cases.

None of the Omaha or Nebraska Mikes
has thus far shown any disposition to go
to Des Moines to renew acquaintance with
]. c. Maybray. who is now the guest of
the government in the Des Moines jail,
pending his nswer to the, indictments
found against him for using the United
States mails for fraudulent purposes as a
side issue to his miscellaneous swindles.
None of the Nebraska victims has been
summoned as a witness and there now
seems to be some doubt about any Of
them figuring in the affair at all. They
certainly will not IN the government case.
although considerable of the correspond
ence between Msybray and his Mike
friends was carried on from Omaha.
According to Postoffice Inspector Sven
son. none OF the Nebraska written letters
is included In the fraudulent mail.
1t is mysteriously intimated at federal
headquarters in Omaha Thursday morning
that the government has still another hold
on Maybray aside from the correspondence
recovered by Inspector Swenson. and that
II was for this reason Maybray was taken
to Des Moines instead of to Council Bluffs,
the scene of many OF his swindles
The Omaha federal officials are very
~reticent about the matter, but at the same
time intimate that the government may
take a hand in the case aside from the
postoffice end of it.

FOR SHEEP BARONS

Small Growers.
OMAHA MARKET is FOR THEM
IL VIII Get the Wool OF the west
ern Ranges that il Now
Now About Ready 60
BE Clipped.

After all, the average wool grower, who
Is now preparing to clip his flock, will be
dependent on Omaha as a storage point,
Chicago failing to provide for any but the
real sheep barons."
This disclosure Is made by an officer OF
the National Wool Growers association.
who writes to Omaha business men inter-
ested.
The Chicago house is a closed proposition
or for stockholders only; Omaha stlll re-
mains the only avenue Of escape for the
spectators.
Thus. in the end 1t appears Chicago Is
taking care only of those sheepmen who
have big flocks and plenty OF ready =oney
and is especially anxious to handle the
clips of the big wool growers who have in
corporated companies. The barons, not the
ordinary flock masters, will be helped by
Chicago because they subscribed to stock
with which to erect the warehouse in Chi
cago. The warehouse is far from COM
plete, however, and some of the stock
holders may have to ship wool to Omaha.
Nearly all the subscribers who will be
permitted TO store wool in Chicago, are
growers Of Oregon. Idaho. some few from
Montana. and a number from Wyoming
and Utah.
~ greatest pulh Oi the Clip OF Montana
and Wyoming IL produced by the smaller
growers. More than 20 per cent OF it has
already been sold. though 1t will grow for
more than a month on the backs Of the
sheep before It is clipped. 1t is estimated
that between 30 and 40 per cent will be
sold as 1t has been in the past to the COM
mission men whose buyers are now on the
ranges.
This leaves about 40 per cent yet to he
disposed of In some way. The clip of
Wyoming and Montana alone amounts TO
100000 pounds. At least 5000, 600 is free
to come either to Omaha or other ware
houses.
Montana sheep bsrons have taken advan-
tages which growers with large capital can
take, but the smaller growers are left out.
Several companies owning flocks in Mon
tana have organized the Montana Wool
Commission company and one of the grow
ers has gone to Boston to take charge of
the office and the wool will be consigned
to the Boston office. which enables the
big growers to practically control the wool
until a manufactures must have It.

An injunction will be sought to restrain

the council passed Tuesday night. THAI the

that the brick kiln would be no nuisance. a

Clothes On

The chief trouble with

their HSrealify.
Men to-day are too wise
TO believe that any clothes
ever made could fit in so
highly vanished a manner
as advertisements some
times present them.
Stein Bloch believe in
the seriousness and reality
of their business as whole
sale tailors for American
men. And the problem
of presenting pictures. of
their clothes that are hon
eR representations has
troubled them not a little.
Honest fit, true style

no more Stein : Bloch's
duty to their public than
is pictnring their styles
accurately.
After close study and
experimenting, Stein
Bloch have found that UNI
dorned and unideaIized
their clothes, phOfogyaphed
as they fit on HViHg men,
solve this problem.
The Stein Bloch style
pictures are half-tone re-

Nineteen hams. six tuos of lard, three
crates of pork sides. quantities OF silk and
other dress goods, eighteen suits OF mems
clothes, horse collars and bales OF horse
blankets, coils Of wire, a gross Of tooth
paste tubes, and a whole library of law
books are a few of the items, of stolen
property recovered Wednesday night by
the police when they made what they con-
slider TO be one of the biggest burglary ar
rests made in some time.
Lew Adair, whose home Is said to be at
2SS6 Charles street. his brother, ]. w.
Adair, and two other alleged box car
thieves, Alfred ]. Bayes and j. Walters.
were arrested at the home of ]. w. Adair
at LaPlatte, Neb., late Wednesday night
by Detectives Ferris and Dunn Of the
Omaha police force and Railroad Detectives
Malone and Wizard OF the Burlington and
Uuion Pacific. respectively.
They are booked for burglary at the
police station and will be held for several
days before a complaint will be filed
against them. as Chief OF Detectives Saw
age wishes to thoroughly investigate their
cases before taking any court action. He
says ne expects to unearth other cases
against the men. or at least to recover
more stolen property.
Convinced that they had run to earth a
gang which had been systematically rob
bling freight cars of large and valuable
~oonslgnments OF goods for a period Of
months, the detectives laid careful plans
for arresting the men, recovering the goods.
and securing evidence against them. The
roomful of ''swag' which they confiscated
shows that their plans did not go far
amiss.
Also Took q Wagon.
They also took a wagon belonging to an
merchant who is believed to have
acted as a fence" for the gang in aiding
them to dispose of their stolen goods.
The wife of one Of the men admitted 70
the police that twenty-five loads of goods
already had been hauled away.
The goods recovered by the officers were
found stored in the house at La Platte,
where three of the four men maRc their
home. Besides them, two wooden plugs,
uted for stopping up holes bored In the
bottom of grain cars to allow grain to run
out and be stolen. and a tin box OF dyns-
mite caps, supposedly intended for blowing
locks, were confiscated.
Three terms in the penltentiary have been
served by Lew Adair, according to Captain
Savage OF the Omaha bureau Of detectives.
He was the father OF the 'S-o~r-4-year-oId
lad who was accidentally shot by Nels
Turkelson, the saloon keeper, some months
ago and who died later.
Lew Adair. according to the police. was
also mixed up in a burglary a number of
years ago in which his partner. "Reddy''
Horn, was shot and Killed and from which
Adair himself narrowly escaped. The two
men are said to have been caught trying
TO steal goods in the Farnsworth drug store
on Cunning street. Farnsworth took a
