THE BAGGAGE SMASHER
Lone the Terror of Travellers, Now
There is Promise Of His
determination.

Talk about the progressive genius
of mankind-well, maybe he is progress
sive in some things, while in other
directions he is fake, pure and SIM
pie. For instance, and to illustrate the
snaiPs pace of progress it is but nee
essary to consider this fact. From
the earliest days of travel on railroads
the multitude Of passengers on the
trains have had to stand by and see
their precious trunks smashed to
smithereens by the ruthless hands of
the trainmen.
Now, after millions of such wealth
nave been thus destroyed, and mans
temper irrecoverably lost, the genius
of mankind has at last gotten busy,
and relief seems in sight. But 1t is
vet in it's incipiency, and probably a
few more generations must see their
baggage smashed before the thing be-
comes universal.
A recent issue of the Manufacturer $
Record contained this notice:
1.-THE Chicago g. Alton Railroad COM
pany notes a recent order of the rail-
road commission of the western state
recurring that baggage must not be
nanQleu ulESCt from Sa1S W sass
but by the medium of trucks, and re-
marks that the Alton had anticipated
the law having for number of years
required it's employees to thus avoid
smashing baggage. 1t is further stated
that from Jan. to Sept. of this year
there were more than 100000 pieces of
baggage handled on this road, but only
four were damaged, and the damage
claims totaled only $14.97, or less than
one three hundrdths Of mile per
piece"

The MAKING OF A
Man FOR The ROAD
FARGO JoRsER TELLS SOME.
THING or DIFFICULTIES IN
PICKING THE RIGHT MAN AND
DIFFICULTY or DEVELOPING A
NEW MAN.

10 find q salesman for the road lis
one Of the hardest propositions with
Wnicn the Jobber mas to deal There is
no question but some sales managers
are more successful than others In
developing the talent they have to
| work with. A recent writer said az a
rule IL was wiser to put more effort In
training poor salesman rather than
taking the chances on breaking in .
new one.
NO man can be developed into a
successful man for the road who does
not feel that he can sell goods and
mas an earnest desire to do so. This
much must be a part Of his nature
ana no amount of training can develop
salesman without the natural in
stinct being present as foundation
upon which to build. This is a fact.
regardless OF the many articles in print
rloiculing the statement that statesmen
must be born
But suppose firm has a man who
Is not making good, Then comes the
question OF what is to be done about
it-let him drag along losing money
Tor the house or discharge him and
try another?
A Fargo jobber of considerable
experience had this to say on this very
important and ever present subject:
nave made quite a number of men
for the road and in some instances IL
seems had but little to work on. M,
strong forte is to keep up his conf
dence in himself. Out on the road a
new man is liable to get down very
low. I never under any circumstances
write scolding letter to a salesman
nor anything / would not like to have
said to myself.
II ne Is not making good, I call him
IN and listen to all Of his troubles.
Then in kindly way i try to snow

else to feel that way. To inspire con-
fdence in others one must possess II

adjustment
The only direct sources OF the ma
tons wealth are the two basic fudus-
tries. mining and agriculture. The sue
cess OF the Department Of Agriculture
has convinced many people that IL -
not only the province. but the duty Of
citizens in the creation OF that wealth
which has already made the United
States a power among the nations. No
bureau Is devoted 70 the pra ctfcai side
OF mining No greater necessity existed
FOR the creation Of a Department OF Az
ricuiture that that which calls for 2 De
partment Of Mining.
In addition to the effort to sec,1rs
inese results. the policies Of the Amer
lean Mining Congress are deteruina6

annual session. Among its objects are
rne following.

cents and TO decrease the number ~
