HOTEL men FOR
TRAVELLING man
RECENT CONVENTION AT GRAND
FORKS BROUGHT GOOD RE-
SUITS - HOTEL PRoPRIEToRs
WILL DO MUCH FOR CONNER
cIAL TRAVELLER.

1t will be welcome news to the COM
mercial travellers of the northwest
when they learn that the North Da-
kota hotel proprietors at their recent
convention held last week at Grand
Forks, decided to do most everything
in their power for the comfort and
pleasure Of the travelling men who are
perhaps their most frequent guests.
Sanitary conditions are to be i'm
proved and better houses kept, and
more entertainment provided. The
hotel proprietor is perhaps the best
friend of the homeless travelling man.
He realizes more than anyone else, in
all probability, his deep sense of lone
Illness and 1t is to relieve the monotony
and hum-drum of travelling life that
the hotel mans efforts vii be hereafter
directed.

comfort OF the commercial traveller"

the city to the editor OF the CONNER
cial travellers page yesterday after
noon. TN fact, while we shall not

The ship never comes in to the
loafer on the dock.
1t was the tail ender Of the sales
force who approached the star sales
man of the organization one day and
asked, How do you manage to make
such big sales, while can't seem to
sell enough goods to pay expense? p
WELL" said the holder of many
medals, there is a secret about it.
I've been in the business a good many
years and I've finally solved the
selling puzzle. You are a new man
and I'm willing to give you a pointer.
But remember that it's a secret"

the answer: How do you manage to
be so successful?'
The star salesman dropped his voice
to an impressive whisper. "Fu tell

In selling goods. as in every other
line of human activity, nine-tenths of
the prescription for success consists
OF plain honest. hard work.
Some statesmen seem unable to alb

never make the attempt. Philosophers

They forget that the current runs

a salesman wants to get his boat past

he's got to settle down to a long spell
OF hard rowing, says w. c. Holman.
He's bound to have blistered hands, a

we appreciate the fact that the travel

with us every week end, while the ma

This was a main topic at the hotel
mems convention at Grand Forks and
one in which even the proprietor s
wives took part among themselves
during the social hours of the conven-

not but appreciate the good spirit of
the hotel proprietors and know that
more attention will be paid them and
an extra effort viii be made for their
comfort and entertainment in the fu-

America . cure For Heaaina.

The Survey: There are intelligent
Americans who say that the first
Syrian immigrants In this country
were beggars, and that to this day the
majority of Syrian immigrants carry
on begging under the guise OF ped
ding. 1t may be frankly admitted
that although the pioneers OF our Sy-
rian population were neither beggars
nor pedlers, many OF the early immi-
grants did come to beg. Diligent in
quiry fails to discover any Syrian in
this country who actually began by
begging, and immigrants OF that class
would naturally return home after
having amassed what seemed a COM
petence.
Why should they not have come to
beg? Thirty three years ago, when
they began to come, the principle that
one must not give to street beggars
was new even In American ears, and
was vehemently repudiated by the
vast majority of welI-informed and
we'll disposed American men and
women. Even today the beggars. who
for ages have infested Italian cathe-
drals and Swiss highways have not
entirely disappeared
Moreover, for countless generations
begging has been In Syria q privileged,
if not an honored, calling: the beggar
with his scrip and water bottle has
been reverenced. IL not esteemed. The
proverbial eastern hospitality i'm

The marvel "a not that syrians came
here To beg. but that most of those
who did beg 30 quickly felt the i'm
fluence o. the American spirit and
turned from begging to peddling.

The cool weather and abundant rains
! in the past few weeks assure the North
west farmers good crops. More than
usual returns will be had by MANY OF
the more progressive farmers, who will
/ exhibit at the New York and other big
land shows. The habit of exhibiting all
these big shows is good one to get--it
brings honor and money to the enterpris
ing farmer. In past years the Northwest
farmers have won many prizes for the
best wheat--oats potatoes -barlev--the
finest apples-and prize winning corn,
sugar beets, alfalfa and hops are also
raised. Every time Northwest farmer
wins q prize at the big land shows more
settlers come into the Northwest and
many times they move close by the prize
winners farm. This increases the value
of his land and brings him good, ambi
tious neighbors, who also get the prize
