WHEN GREED COMMANDS.

! written For Forum Travellers Coll
Don't tell me Of the hero who wins the
bloody field,
His may be glory or 1t may be hell
But tell me of the salesman who
day and night must yield
Each hour to fiercer work and does
it well.
The bugle call that guides him is not
the call to arms,
Although his fight is hardly less
humane.
His strategy and movements result in
different harms;
No history records the number
slain.
No quarter in this action is shown to
friend or foe.
Each individual fighter stands alone.
He cannot finch nor waver as all
who fight must know;
Nor face the field with cowardice
or groan.
A unit of an army, five hundred thous-
and strong;
Each year adds to it's numberless
thousands more.
Each soldier under orders, that may be
right or wrong
To fight his comrades ~on this field
of gore.
Can this strange warfare, waged on
plans of false economy
Result in good to those who take
a part.
Ask scarworn veterans on the field
what means the victory
When greed commands to take your
brothers heart.

To FormuIate Ethioa cnda.

When the National Credit Mems as
sociation meets in Spokane next july
It's delegates, representing various lines
OF trade in all parts of the United
States, will be urged to adopt a code
OF ethics to govern wholesale houses
and Jobbers in their dealings with re-
tail stores w. b. Sanders of Coeur
dAlene, Idaho, president of the Inland
Empire Retail Grocers' association and
A. w Bower, president of the Spokane
Grocers' association, will present a
code, in effect as follows:
That the wholesale merchants and
1obbers exercise the utmost loyalty to
the retail dealers in selling only to
those who arc entitled to buy at whole
sale.
That they do not encourage any per-
son to embark in business in commu-
mites already supplied with stores to
handle the trade.
That they refuse financial support
TO any dealer who has not the train
ing or ability to succeed, and, who
through ignorance OF the cost of doing
business, sells goods at loss. thus
causing annoyance to competitors and
loss Of legitimate profit.
The foregoing has been adopted by
the Spokane Wholesale Merchants as
sociation, effective at once, and it Is
believed 1t will greatly simplify mat
ters and protect dealers in the Spokane
country.

BOOST and
then BOOST AGAIN
EVERY MEMBER OF THE FARGO
COUNCIL WILL GET INTO THE
GAME TO LAND THE 1911 CON-
VENTIoN OF THE TRAVELLERS
OF THIS DISTRICT FOR FARGO.

Secretary Thomas E. Dunn of Fargo
Travellers has already started the ball
a rolling in the preliminaries to secure
the 1911 convention Of the travellers for
this city. The district is made I'D of
North and South Dakota, Minnesota,
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
and the annual convention this year
will be held at Saltwater, Mimi, where
the citizens have raised the sum of
$1,000 for the entertainment of the
men of the grip next June.
Mr.. Dunn is now busily engaged in
sending out letters to all of the councils
in the district, apprising them of the
fact that Fargo is going after the con-
vention for next year and that she is
going after it to win. Letters will also
be sent out to the different boosters
in each council, asking each party to
do his utmost to boost the convention
for Fargo and it is believed that nearly
all il not quite all will see that it will
be to his advantage to vote and talk
for the convention to come to this city.
1t was announced at the last conyen-
tion that Winnipeg was intending to go
after the convention this year, but
Fargo hopes to be in the field and head
off any headway that the Canadian
city may have made. Each and every
one of the members of Fargo council.
and there are ESQ of them, will con-
stitute himself a committee to boost
the city for the convention and it is
believed that in this way Fargo will
win out in the saltwater convention.
although Winnipeg has a large number
of monied men who will be sure to
talk in favor of that city.
Now that the Fargo Commercial club
has given the travellers of Fargo as
surance of moral and financial assist
ance the council will do it's utmost to
secure the big convention which it is
believed will cause more than 5000
