The chances are that if you go into
almost any store in country town,
at the present time, and tell the store
keeper that his cheapest salesman is
his advertisement in the local news
paper he will laugh at you. He will
laugh because he does not know what
craftsmanship means. 1t is the mere
showing of his goods to any customer
that has the good luck to come into
his store, according to his lights. He
does not realize that it is possible for
customers to be enticed to his store
to actually demand goods that they
never thought they wanted before.
1t is a comparatively easy matter to
sell woman or man goods when you
have them in your store and can lay
the wares right in front Of them. In
such a ease much more than nine
tenths Of the selling act has already
been accomplished by the coming of
your customer to the store. Even then
a salesman who can get big results in
the store is cassed as high-grade, and
his salary, no matter how large, is
considered reasonable expenditure,
and, in many cases, cheaply spent.
Hiph Salasm anshin
To cause a customer to have a de-
sire to come to your store, where no
desire existed before, requires sales
manship of high order. Such sales
manship makes new customers
builds your business and lays, III
short, the foundation Of your for
tune. No retail business of modern
times can make a great success with
out such salesmanship-without, in
other words, the proper utilization OF
space in your local newspaper. Con
sidering the results this kind Of sales
manship obtains, it is the best and
cheapest you can buy.
This efficient use of space in your
local newspaper has been called sales
manship on paper If you fill the
space with forceful matter that will
create attention, cause conviction and
bring results, you have an addition to
your sales force that may surely be
called the best promoter on your staff.
The results that are obtained from
this salesmanship depends on the sell
ing ability used. But no natter what
results are obtained, the quality of
craftsmanship necessary is much great
er than that required inside the store.
The big mail order houses reckon
that they must pay so much money
for every inquiry they get. The
amount of this sum is ascertained by
dividing all the money spent on adver-
tising and selling literature by the
number of letters received in answer
to the same. This refers to inquiries
only. Not every inquirer becomes a
customer. The securing of actual
customers costs more. The money that
has to be spent to get one new Gus
toner by those concerns would aston
ish the local retailer. 1t is usually
not less than the amount spent on
several weeks advertising by the av-
erage local store keeper. The sales
manship on paper that is necessary to
do all this is the finest that can be
got for money, and it is considered
cheap at the enormous price paid for
il because il is engaged in building up

Discovers Dynamite Stick.

Reports from the Polk county hills
just west of Salem say that what
might have been serious accident
was averted when member of
Grice's threshing crew discovered a
stick of dynamite in a sheaf just be-
fore it went into the threshing ma
chine Had the dynamite escaped mo-
tice and gone into the thresher, the
whole outfit would have been blown
to atoms. Whether the explosive was
placed in the sheaf by design or
whether it was merely an accident
cannot be ascertained.-Salem States

THE "DUKE or COLCHESTER"

The death of William j. Thompson,
long known in New Jersey politics as
The Duke of Gloucester" recalls an
era of disagreement and demoraliza-
ton across the Hudson River which is
now happily only fading memory
Thompson died in Ireland practically
penniless. some oldtime neighbors in
Gloucester having raised a small fund
to send him on q trip across the Atlantic
for his health Yet in his heyday he
dominated South Jersey, spent tens Of
thousands annually in politics and was
one Of the recognized leaders in the
Democratic party, then allied with the
saloon and gambling interests to guar
antee wide open" conditions through
out the state.
Thompson was the owner Of a race
track of the less reputable sort at GlOu-
cester, and his quick profits on that en-
terprise combined with his temporary
success in debauching the South Jersey
electorate led him TO think that he had
the respectable element in the state Sc
curely by the throat. He elected a Legis-
lature for the purpose of passing more
liberal gambling laws and put one of his
rscetracl starters in the Speakers chair
The Legislature gave him the legislation
which he wanted, even though it had TO
override the veto Of a Democratic Gov
eTnOr.
That was only two decades ago. Yet
for nearly that time grass has grown
Oh all the New Jersey racetracks which
couldn't he converted into building lots.
The voters rose in indignation, expelled
the gamblers and curbed the power Of
the saloons. and the license of the
Thompson era seems now like Il bad
dream. It used TO be said in his day
that racetrack gambling was an ineradi-
cable evil. But the people Of New Jer-
sey eradicated it on short notice. and
years afterward the people Of this state
followed that sensible example. Thomp-
sons skyrocket career should he a warn
ing to leaders who think that they can
govern a state permanently by playing
on The vices Of the voters. Practical pOliti-
clans used 10 laugh at themselves for
''uandering 10 the moral sentiment of
the community" But nowadays cultivat-
ing that sentiment in politics Is the
thing that wins.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR oUACKS

There was much sense and justice In
! the remarks which were made the other
day at the meeting of the American
| sponsibility Of the regular members
of the medical profession for the preva-
! lence and the prosperity of the fraudu
| lent practitioners whose operations they
so strongly and properly condemn. The
idea OF the speaker-Dr Murphy, tie
new president Of the asSOciatOn-was
that the public had legitimate curiosity
concerning prOphylactic and therapeutic
operations. and that since the "regu-
lar practitioners generally declined to
crafty it people turned TO the quacks
who did pretend to crafty il and 10 take
their patients into their full confidence.
Therefore the effective method Of COM
batting quacks was for the legitimate
members of the profession 20 give their
patients the fullest practicable infOrma-
ton concerning ailments, medicines and
methods Of treatment.
There can he 10 doubt of the increas-
ing and legitimate interest of the public
ir such matters. The day Of mysteries
IT, the learned professions is past Lay
men may not attempt 10 NEEDLE in actual
professional Work-at least ii is not wise
fer them TO do so-but they do wish to
know something about that work, and
they reasonably object to being required
Ia accept biindly and ignorantly the
creeds Of theolOgians. the codes of law
yers or the prescriptions of physicians.
II may be thai in some cases information
would tempt the patient to injudicious
meddling with the physicians work. In
q far greater number Of cases il would
probably euable him 10 cooperate help
fully for his own cure. The impor-
tance Of sanitation and hygiene rs ad-
iunct5 10 therapeutics IS being more and
more recognized, aud 1t is obvious that
they cannot be fully availed Of without
instruction of the patient.
II would be practicable for physicians
10 take their patients into their conf
dence 10 the extent of informing them
Of the nature of their ailments and the
character Of the remedies and methods
of treatment which are employed. The
profession. indeed, forbids the use Of Sc
cret remedies, yet practically prescrip-
