NOT A BED OF ROSES

The sales manager does not always
find 1t an easy task to bring success
to the house from every part of the
territory covered. He worries more
than does the boss himself when things
go wrong. He may not have to put
up with rocky hotels and he may not
have to make long drives, but he Ear
show you a bushel basket full of trou-
bles every month; simply because men
persist in not doing their best.
The traveller out in his territory has
it all figured out that Mr.. Sales Man
ager has a perfect "puddin',"; that
everything is lovely with him--all he
has to do is touch a button or dictate
sarcastic letters or throw a little beau
tiful sunshine and draw a good salary
for GUESSING the travelling statesmen.
That isn't quite the right way to
look at 1t. The sales manager is a sort
of a train dispatcher, On his shoulders.
sponsibilities resting on his shoulders.
He finds some men capable, honest
and agreeabIe-These travellers give
him little or no trouble, but there is
the other kind. The fellows that need
fixing, the fellows who are always find
ing fault, the fellows who are COM
planning about conditions, but who
never make good as a salesman: find
ing much to write about. A stuffed
expense account, but few orders. This
class of men do not as a rule, last
long, but Mr.. Sales Manager Is obliged
to try this caliber of men put in order
to find the good ones.

AN ANTI-TIPPING
War ON IN tenn.
THE TRAVELLERS OF THE SOUTH
ERN STATE EVIDENTLY MEAN
BUSINESS IN THEIR BATTLE
AGAINST WHAT THEY CALL A
PUBLIC NUISANCE.

Preparing for the fight before the
next legislature for an a~ntt-tlpping
law. hundreds of letters have been
sent out from the Office of the Ten
nessee travellers to the boys in the
trenches during the past week.
On postcards n on cards TO pc
handed around among the fellows the
Tennessee travellers declare that they
will have an anti tipping. law in a
perfectly constitutional form" They
do not say that they will try for such
a law, but will have it." Judging
from their past promises and subse-
| ouent results secured, nobody stands
ready to deny that they will get what
they go after.
Tipping costs you more than 80
cents per week, which amounts to
more than $25 per year." says the card.
Fifty tents per week as an estimate Is
entirely too low, but it was put at this
| figure lust to show the boys how much
it amounts to, considered even on this
basis,
The cards sent out the last week
| bore the following statement:
THE Tennessee travellers will nave
an anti-tipping law passed in the next
legislature in a perfectly constitutional
form. They will need more members
| for the political strength. 1t will cost
you less than rs cents per week to do
your share in the work. Send us 81
for a years membership dues and join
the fight to get. free from the tipping
evil. We have done much, but very
much more is to be done. Other states
have passed laws improving the con-
ditions for the travelling public and we
are going to do the same thing or go
them one better. We need three days
free storage, interchangeable mileage
honored by all roads, better train serv-
ice, better coaches, depots, baggage
handled with more care, better hotels,
livery and transfers, better rates,
There are few accommodations but
what ought to be improved for the
| price we must pay"

INTERNATIONAL RATES
Some Figures Given by the Postmaster
General in the Controversy Over
the Ccuntry's Postal Rates.

The postmaster general has used az
argument a situation to which he has
contributed, to say that u domestic
rate must be brought down to equal
international rates, made not by con-
gress, but by the ~postoffice depart
ment. The average length of haul for
each pound of merchandise under do
mestic rates is 68T miles. The aver
age length of haul for each pound un-
der the International conventions Is
less than 200 miles. Under the inter-
national rate, a fraction of a pound Is
charged as much as a pound. The an
nual report of the postmaster general
for 1912. page 535, stated: "of the par
cells received from Germany more than
thirty five per cent are delivered in
the cities of New York, Brooklyn, Jer-
sey City, Hoboken, Boston, Philadel-
phia. Baltimore and Washington, and
more than seventy-two and one-half
per cent are delivered east of the Mis-
sissippi."
