MAY ACQUIRE BEACH.

The destruction of Balmers bathing pavilion gives the city a chance
annex an additional 22O feet OF beach front adjoining the e municipal
baths. The owners would probably sell but they place a valuation of
100000 OIL the property.
J +. Balmer started the baths thirty-fve years ago He died two years
ago and the property is now owned by his widow and three children. At
offered 5000 900 for his property He refused to sell at that figure.
Mrs. Balmcr says her bath house business netted her $4,000 q year
She carried $4,000 insurance and estimates her net loss at more than
$780, 900. There we're 10000 bathing suits in the big building. $4,000 of
which we're brand new. Balmers Pavilion had accommodations for $3.50
people.
Dreamland Park has a water frontage OF 90 feet. The fire wiped out
all the Dreamland leases. An opportunity presents Itself now for the city

Certainly the land ca never be acquired for a cheaper price than II. is
held att to-day The Balmer and Dreamland plots command $40 feet of
frontage both on the ocean and Surf avenue and run through.

SaIesmanship.

A salesman. in furnishing store dis.
played to a friendly customer gen.
tleman's plain linen handkerchief at
IS. The man had always thought he
was doing well to pay so cents and
questioned the salesman about it.
'"How can a man figure it that he
gets his moneys worth when he pays
SIS for a handkerchief? 1t doesn't
serve the purpose any better. and he
couldn't afford to tell any one that he
was big enough fool to pay that price"
He gets his moneys worth" said
the salesman. ''from the added force
Of self respect that comes with his
own personal assurance that he has
the best that can be produced. That
conviction helps him in urging his
point and in swinging the big deal his
way. and the S. is a mere item Of in
cidental expense"
Ever afterward that customer gladly
paid more not only for handkerchiefs.
but for every item Of his wardrobe.
That is salesmanship.-Collier's.

from patronizing mail order houses is
loyalty to our city and lack of cooper
alton. The cooperative plan of buying
is on the increase. Whole neighbor-
hoods are sending out of town now for
staples and have the shipment to one
address where they meet and divide
it according to their order.
The remedy for the increasing high
prices lies, to a large extent, in CO.
operation, the elimination of all petty
ordinances that tend to keep the
farmer and his wagon off our streets,
and municipal ownership of public
utilities. If this water works question
is settled on any other plan than one
that will provide for municipal owner
ship as soon as possible it will be
settled wrong. If the. restraint of
competition keeps on it will not be
long until the people will find RENE

have been taken care of by outside
merchants, they will have only them
selves to blame.

the congress OF the United States, and
nearly ever ystate legislature, was alb
solutely controlled by the representa-

of the country: that law effecting
these corporate interests could not be
enacted by congress or placed in the

II also called attention to the fact
that the wage workers of the country
were being rudely. awakened from
their lethergy and with their organic

gress and the state legislatures of
representatives who hold their office
for the sole purpose of preventing

accomplished, the representatives of
the interests and trusts would be de-

representatives that would legislate
for their benefit instead of the present
government which has been legislat-

benefit of the few.
Il take some considerable pride In
having given utterance to the state

since that time a great change has
taken place in congress and the State
legislatures, and also great change
has taken place in the hearts of our
representatives, not only in the con-

state legislatures since that time and
