 PETROLEUM CLAIMS-There is a great deal of excitement in vari- Ous parts of the territory over petrole- um. oil is reported to have been found in several places. The excitement is particularly great around Bowie in Graham county, and in the northern part of Arizona. As a result of this excitement the Phoenix land office is flooded with inquiries as to how to go about filing on an oil claim. The laws governing oil and placer locations are practically the same. Twenty acres is >6n oil claim and s100 worth of assess ment work must be done every year to show good intentions. No patent can be secured on any claim until the own CT has demonstrated that he has made a bona fide discovery of petroleum.
 AUTO EVANGELISTIc CAMPAIGN The coming auto -evangelistic campaign was the subject of discussion at a meeting Of the pastors of the Protest ant churches held in the office of the general secretary of the Y. M C. A. recently. As was announced sometime ago, the services of Bradford Williams, the actor-evangelist, were secured by the Y. NJ. C. A and churches for series of meetings January Sth to 10th. inclusive. The term "auto-evangelist" is used because of the fact that the great evangelist does a greater part of his work speaking from automobiles. The pastors are looking forward for a successful campaign and are to be congratulated in securing the services of Mir Williams. whose time and talent are in such great demand from one sec ton of the country to the other. An evangelistic committee of four men from each church is to be appointed at once and they will meet to organize aft CT prayer meeting Wednesday of next week in the Central Methodist church. |

Gets Complimentary Mention in St
Paul Publication as q Travel
ing Man.

The Searchlight, monthly pamph-
let published at st. Paul in the inter-
ests of drygoods and clothing trade.
carries splendid compliment to a
North Dakota boy. The publication
has picture OF #. Gilbert Sears,
the son of Fred Sears, who travels
in North Dakota for Finch. Van SlyclS
& McConville OF st. Paul and beneath
the cut is a short article about the
boy travelling man.
The article is taken from a portion
OF the publication which is devoted
to Finch, Van Slyck & McConville and
is as follows: q
The above photograph is of T. Gill
bert Sears, 13-year-old son OF our
hustling North Dakota representative,
Fred Sears. The younger Sears is
said to be the youngest travelling sales
man on the road. During vacation
from school, he travels with his father
selling line of post cards, art calen-
dars and advertising novelties. He
pays all his own expenses, and at the
end of the season has a neat little
surplus to pay his school expenses.
The young man thoroughly enjoys his
work and Is gaining valuable exper-
1ence. 1t pays TO give the youngster
some real responsibihty--not will
develop them more quickly.

PAY FOR time LOSSES
Much Interest in New Provisions of
the Inuranee Contract of the
u. C, r,

1t is evident that the members of the
u. c. T. are a great deal interested in
the new provisions of our insurance
contract covering indemnity for par
tial loss of time. says The Sample
Case. Secretaries are having many
questions put to them concerning this
provision. The plan is as simple as
it can be made to be SAFE 1t is only
necessary to bear In mind that the
same condition obtains under the par
tial disability clause as under the to-
tai disability provisions. The order
does not pay for accidents; 1t pays for
loss of time from accidents. To make
a claim for partial disability, it must
be shown that the claimant lost some
part of his time ON account of the
accident. For instance, a man may
sustain an injury that prevents him
from going out on the road, but il
does not prevent him from going down
to his store or office and performing
some part of his duties. Or, he may
be injured in such way that he cannot
bear heavy samples, but he can man
age to see some of his more urgent
trade without his samples. All such
cases are the ones coming under the
conditions of the partial disability
feature. There is no question of a
claim where loss Of time is involved
in the result of an accident. But the
basis is time loss--not the manr err or
severity of the injury. ~

TALKFEST Meetings
Much Good Is to Be Derived From the
Gathering of Business Men and
Drummer.

With the present waive for social
gatherings among men sweeping over
the country, it is only natural that men
of kindred desires should be gathered
together at dinner for social and in
tellectual purposes. Business men and
commercial travellers are known as
boosters and dinner between these
two lines of men would no doubt bring
about a great of civic and moral good
for any community
Had you noticed the number of these
get-together meetings that are being
held over the country of late? In a
number of cities the commercial trav-
| ers have invited the business men to
meet them in talkfest or smoker, and
the way they get together and talk
over ways and means to boost things
commercial and civic is something fine
to read about Sometimes the business
men take the initiative and invite in
the travellers; but it works just as fine
either way.

and flock by ourselves. We need the
other fellow and he needs us. Wher
we know more about him, we feel q
natural desire to help him. He feels
the same way about us. We cans
have too many booster meetings.

As several commercial travellers goi
into station bus one OF the men no.
ticed that a young woman had grip
exactly like his, but that it was placed
with the rest of the baggage on top
Thinking there might be some mistake
made, he kept his inside and placed ii
at his feet.
He was soon engrossed with his
paper and did not notice the yotAig
woman reach over and drag the grip
close to her side. He waited until she
was occupied with a book and then
pulled the grip to its former position,
the rest of the travellers looking on
with amused expressions.
In turning over a leaf she looked
down, and suddenly became aware of
the removal of the grip. With some
force in her voice and manner she
said: "This is mine!" and jerked it
back close to her feet.
Touching his hat politely, the own
err said:
"All right madam: but may please
get my pipe and nightshirt out? You
are welcome to the rest of the things!"

The editor wants to take most de-
Icided and serious exceptions to ar
article that appeared on the editorial
page Of The Northwestern Agricultur-
list for September. The paper Is pub
lished in Minneapolis and the editor
Mr. Collins, gives an extended review
of a recent book entitled Fighting the
1 Traffic i'm Girls. AS set forth by him
the writer of the book goes onA to re-
scribe the raps set for innocent coun-
/ try girls. Among the other multi
ltude OF ways in which these limo
icent victims are caught it is detailed
that perhaps she meets a commercial
Etraveler while shopping at country
lstore. A Irritation ensues, quickly fol-
lowed by an acquaintance, The COM
lmercial traveller tells her about the
Vaccinations of city life. She expresses
! a wish that she might get a position
in the city where she could be near all

her position, and her downfall fol-
I lows.
Beautiful theory--very Laura Jean
Libby, and all that. but not backed up
by glimmer of fact. On the contrary,
lit is a vile and inexcusable SANDER on
a class of men who, taken man for
man, have the highest regard for wo-
manhood of any class of men in our
citizenship. Does anyone suppose for
one minute that a real commercial
traveller could pull off a trick OF that
kind and get away with it without his
associates on the road knowing some
thing about it? And, knowing about
1T. does anyone conjecture for a half
minute that he would be allowed to
go unpublished? Not on your life. If
some lowdown skunk of an alleged
salesman were to attempt to act as
a procurer in, that manner, or any
manner, he would last about one trip.
The writer of that book. Mr.. Collins,
is evidently not familiar with the free
masonry of the road. You say that
the book in question is not written by
sensation monger but put upon the
authority of an organized society of
philanthropists and christian workers,
But to this extent, at least, it is writ

country and away from the centers
where commercial travellers are known.
But man in your position. Mr.. Col
Inns, should know better than to in
dorse such stuff. 1t is not worthy
of you or The Northwestern Agricul-
turist. 1t is likely that a good many
of your neighbors in Minneapolis are
commercial travellers. Would you
charge them with being parties to the
white slave traffic. You owe it to
your intelligent agricultural readers to
set yourself right in this matter.

LESSON OF SELF CONTROL.
is What the Travelling Man Learns
in His Life,


The Nashville Tennessean: Last
week at a local hotel travelling sales
man ended his days by self destruc-
don. The reports say the man had
become nervous and couldn't sleep.
Doubtless this is true. Possibly there
were other causes-heredity or other
wise.
But every old salesman knows too
well the feeling which was likely pres.
ent in that poor mans heart. It is
not stated-Jhough il may be inferred
that his order book was blank. Those
who have not had the experience can
have no conception OF the absolute
horror which come to the man on the
road when he feels that he has lost
his ''stinger" and can no longer in
terest the trade.
Expenses piling up sky-high. letters
from his house urging MIN on to
greater effort, a wife and babies at
home, whom he knows are looking to
him for support. Then in a strange
land among strangers. No pen can
describe the anguish OF that soul.
Though he appears on the street and
visiting the trade with a gay air, and
even smile on his lips, his very heart
is breaking. If the merchants on
whom he calls knew of only a part
of his suffering, they would at least
encourage him with a complimentary
order. But they do not know 1t, for
were the man to let this come 10 the
surface hC would no longer be a sales
man but beggar for business, and
merit the contempt of the trade and
the loss of his own self esteem.
Yet there are few such endings com :
ing to the lives of men on the road,
and this is the best possible evidence
OF the fact that commercial travellers
are the strongest men in the world
men who learn the most serious les
son of llfe-that of self control.
