COMES NEXT WEEK
LAST BIG ROUND FOR THE FLAGS
WILL COME NEXT SATURDAY
NIGHT SECRETARY DUNN is
BUSY WITH HIS APPLICATIONS
FOR MEMBERSHIP.

Next Saturday night Is the last
chance we viii have for the American
and Canadian flags" said Sec. Tom.
Dunn Of the Fargo council of the I'm
TIED Commercial Travellers to the edi-
Tor OF the commercial travellers mage
yesterday afternoon. If we lose the
nass this time we will have to wait
Tor another three months before we
get them again. Why wait when we
can have them with just a little con-
certed effort?p
There will be big meeting OF the
Fargo council No. SIS next Saturday
night at which time every effort will
be made to win the membership con-
test. as 1t will be the last chance 10
win the trophies which have already
been won by Fargo council twice II
succession. These emblems are now
IN the possession of the local council
Dut they are only temporary property
and should the boys here lose out in
the contest this time, they will be for
feited to the winner.
On the other hand should they win
this contest, the two flags, the nat
aonal emblems of the United States
and Canada. will be the permanent
property Of Fargo. The local coun-
Gil ought. to have enough pride to
make this final effort the successful
and telling one.
IL we lose 1t certainly won't be the
fault of the officers Of the local conn
Gil" continued Mr.. Dunn to the com.
mercial travellers page editor. Il am
sure we have not left one stone I'M
turned to win this and now 1t is IN
to the boys. We made a good start |
last Saturday night, but it viii take a |
good many more this week to turn the |
trick.
This week sent out a circular let |
ter to every man in the council and
that ought to help some. I made the
etter good and strong and wen See
I 1t does any good. ST. Paul and
Minneapolis have both had three flags
once, and they are making an extra
ordinary fight for them this time for
hey realize that If we win them the
zane is UP for them"

Buyer and Salesman.

There Il misconception in some
minds as to the relation OF buyer and
salesman. There are some who be-
heve that the buyer confers d favor
In giving a salesman a respectful
hearing. II anything the contrary III
true. The time OF salesman who
knows his business Is worth money.
He il positively comforting favor
upon the buyer In giving him the op-
portunity to learn about his goods, Tor
II the buyer Is not convinced that
there ID some advantage about his
goods, he will not sign the order.
With all respect to the able buyer
II Is generally conceded that 1t takes
more thought, more initiative, more
real knowledge OF the goods to make
an advantageous sale than III does to
make purchase. When real sales
man invests bis time and ability no
buyer II comforting i favor to give
him hearing.

A Matter Of Service.

One little word is changing the
business Of the world. The late rec
ognition Of what it stands for is well
stated in the following by e. ST. Elmo
Lewis, widely known publicity and
business expert:
The New York Central is talking
in a new way about a seyen-le letter
world. The Bell Telephone company
is talking about the same word. The
Roosevelt doctrine of conservation can
be boiled down to the same little word
1T is the word service that ia re-
making the business world.
1T is the final distilIation OF exper-
ience; the essence OF hard, cold, dry
as-dust facts and figures out Of the
mine OF real life.
You can hire all your smooth sales
men-they can get orders-but you
have 20 make good. You can hire
your factory managers, who can do
wonderful stunts in production, but
the product has to make good.
You can cut your prices and give
long terms or premiums. but you have
to make good with the fellow who
buys.
The days Of Mr.. Clever Bluff ifs
getting colder The day of the organ
izer and Of the student in business is
dawning with q cheerful sun.
The science OF business service Is
coming into its own.
The customer is no longer exploit
ed as fool who has come to be
plucked. 'Caveot emptor' (Let the
buyer beware) doesn't look as well as
It did; and there is a newer and plain
Or motto being placed over the door
ways of the p-to-the-hour house:
He profits most who serves best for
now IT Is the seller who deserves the
buyer"

DEATH OFF, GIRL
:. IS A MYSTERY
Prominent Young Woman Of Dallas
County Found Dead in Field.
WAS IT MURDER OR ACCIDENT
Rifle Bullet Perces Heart and Death
Was nstantaneous-In One Hand
She Held UNEMPLOYED Gun, in
Other a Few Nuts.

Dexter, Ia, Sept. 13.-Special: Miss
Katherine-Hoy, aged 81, daughter of
J. J. Hoy, one of the most prominent

tives started to find her and her
brother, Howard Hoy, and Walter
Cant. neighbor, found her lying
under the fence. There was a rifle
bullet hole through her heart and
death had been instantaneous. Her
clothing was not the least bit disar-
ranged in any manner. There is
much mystery over the affair and eX-
element reigns in Dexter and vicin-
ity. Some think it was a murder for
revenge and others think that she had
been struck by stray bullet. Hun
dreds of neighbOrs are hunting for
some clue to the mystery and blood
hounds have been sent for to see if
some trace or clue can be found near
the body. Miss Hoy was one of the
most prominent girls in this vicinity.
The coroner from Abel has been
notified and is expected to arrive
here this afternoon. The girl was
prominent socially and excitement is
increasing. The authorities are max
ing a quiet investigation Of the girls
death. No suspicious looking charac-
tiers have been seen in this vicinity
recently. She leaves her parents, a
brother and a sister. and as far as
known had no sweetheart.

ARE OPPOSED TO BOY SCOUTS
POLICY OF LABOR ATTRIBUTED
TO SAMUEL GOMPERS.
Des Moines Union Officials Say They
Would Take Same Action as That
OF st. Louis Musicians.

Des MOines, Sept. 13.-SpeCial: Des
Moines union officials interpret the
action of organized musicians in st.
Louis in refusing to play in a parade
in which boy scouts are marching as
but the result of policy laid down
by Samuel Gompers, which has be-
come almost national in scope. M.
J. Morrison, secretary of the local
Trades and Labor assembly, states
that union men all over the country
are opposed to the boy scout move
ment, and believes that, should a
situation similar to that in ST. Louis
yesterday arise in Des Moines, union
officials here would act in much the
same manner.
Union men, it is stated, are opposed
to the movement because it essential
ly is military in character. They
profess to hold the boy scouts as an
auxiliary to the state militia which
might prove dangerous in case of
trouble.
