Of the first race Of the local meeting Of

probably more interest in the horse
racing game locally than any similar

This, together with the prospects Of
excellent weather, gives promise OF
making the meeting success finan-

meetings were not.
Great Field Of Starters.

dent Taft said in part
My Fellow Citizens; The issue
which has arisen in respect to the
wisdom and propriety of the veto of
the three tariff bills which passed
congress at the last session and We're
presented TO the executive for sigma
ture has brought into greater prom
inence than ever before the question
of the necessity for tariff board
to advise the executive and congress
as to the facts in reference to the
present operation of an existing tar
if and the future operation of
proposed tariff
The heated discussion that follow
ed the passage of the Payne bill de
yeloped among the people of this
country a deep feeling that never
again ought tariff legislation to be
attempted without fairer and more
impartial investigation than had
been possible under the system which
prevailed in the making of the Nc
Kinley bill, the Wilson bill, the
Dngley bill, and the Payne bill
These bills were prepared by men of
great ability and large experience,
but they were members OF congress.
The investigation devoted to the
work did not exceed more than d
few months, the witnesses who were
called we're generally interested in
the matter and prone to give col
Ored view of the facts in reference to
the protection needed, the tariff it
self was a complicated matter, the
terms used were not easily under
stood, and while the question was
of the utmost Importance to the peo-
pie at large the people at large had
little opportunity to know what the
changes we're which were being ac-
tually effected and what their opera
ton would be either upon the in
dustries protected or upon the cost

tariff changes naturally reused the
business men of the country, who
could appreciate more than any 9TH

turbance of business by ill-advised
legislation, to the necessity for re-
form. An association was organized
among the commercial bodies of this
country to promote the passage Of a
bill providing for permanent tar

should be constantly engaged in the
investigation into trade relations,
should have on hand the data from

number only twenty were non-fiction.
The percentage of non.fiction was
much higher for the children than for
adult readers.
The book committee is planning to
purchase quite a number of new books
at once. The larger part of the books
will probably be works of reference,
travel and biography. The commit

partment of the library as much as
possible this year.

Are You a Sa,esman2

Craftsmanship is science" said
Secretary r. G. Wagner of The Bank
ers Reserve Life Company, of Omaha.
Not long ago man came to me who
had been soliciting fraternal insur-
ance with considerable success. The
idea occurred to him that he could
persuade men to take out old-line in
SuranCe just as readily as he could
induce them to buy fraternal insur-
anCe, and if so his income would be
largely enhanced. So he started in
working for our Company. He was
one of those men who are naturally
fitted for craftsmanship; he had a
good presence and had learned how
to approach all grades of men: he
knew when to talk and when to let
the other fellow talk. His first
weeks work satisfied him that he
could sell our policies readily, for
he earned more money that week than
he had formerly earned in months
time. Since that he has scored heav-
lily and is accommodating property"
The time is past" continued Secre-
tary Wagner when men having fail
ed in other pursuits can take up life
insurance as last resort. The busi-
ness now offers such handsome re-
wards to able solicitors that it is at
tracing men who have proved them
selves to be successful in other lines.
Last year a book agent came to me
with a story of success in that line
and | asked him to join our field staff
He did so with most flattering sue
cess. He, too, had learned the science
of craftsmanship and also had given
some study to the psychology of the
subject. And let me say incidentally
that good book agents are hard to
find. A man having the ability to
sell good books can sell other good
things.
81 recall a nurseryman who had
Travelled over the state meeting

other cases. In fact, there are many
solicitors handling small lines who
might just as well be making good
money selling the attractive policies
of The Bankers Reserve Life Com
pany. Then there is the commercial
traveller who has a wide territory
on the road all the time. He has
learned how to sell goods and he
could sell our policies with less eff
fort, make more money and stay at
home with family and friends most
of the time. Some of our best solicit
tors were formerly successful COM
mercial travellers. Any man who has
learned the art of craftsmanship can
sell our liberal poicies--the rapid
growth of our business is proof of
that fact. Every day | get letters
from men of this stamp who ask for
terms upon which they may take up
the work of selling our policies, and
| am always glad to hear from them.
We are expanding the business and
increasing our field staff"
