MADE \ SACRIFICE TO PLEASE CUSTOMER
Merchant Underwent Violation of his Own Conscience to Please
 the Trade.

That the business man is confronted sorts of questions and that these ques tions are of an ethical as well as of a strict business nature sometimes, any | merchant can testify Furthermore. these questions sometimes have to be settled on the spur of the moment and | their prompt and proper settlement 1 frequently means the difference be- | tween a satisfied and an unsatisfied custOmer-Or perhaps no customer at 1 all.
 l Suppose you were in business-the | shoe business say. And suppose fur 1 ther that you had a chance to sell | pair of five dollar shoes for six dollars that otherwise you couldn't sell them
 at all; that your customer positively 1 demanded six dollar shoes and was
 perfectly satisfied to pay that price for l the shoes you ordinarily sold at five | dollars-what would you do about it? | Maybe q strict application of the | rule of ethics would say-'Lose the
 sale and the customer" but business
 men don't feel like losing customers l when it can be avoided.
 And perhaps you think there are no customers of that kind; but on the contrary there are plenty of them, as
 the following incident related by one of
 the bes3 known shoe dealers in this town will show.
 | Sometime ago woman came into this mans store. She wanted a pair of 1 shoes ana she was shown a pair of l highest grice carried by the merchant T by the way-but she objected to them
 because they were too cheap" That was the only objection she had-they
 fitted perfectly and she was perfectly
 satisfied as to their quality, but they didn't cost enough to gain her cOnfi- dence.
 She was shown several other pairs of shoes and finally the original pair were shown again. but this time with dollar added to the price. All un- suspectag that they were the same shoes, the woman had them fitted, made the purchase, paid over her money and went away perfectly satis- fled
 And what is more she came back S perfectly satisfied. That was after the ! shoes had worn out. and she wanted ! another pair just like them" It hap ! pened that another clerk waited on her ! this time and she was told there were no shoes of that price in the store. But ] just about that time the proprietor ] happened along and the woman was , informed her particular kind of shoes , had been ordered and would be along ! the following week And sure enough ! the next week tn customer was bacl ! again, bought a pair of the six dol v lar" shoes and expressed her satisfac
 tion that she had found place where
 she could get exactly the kind of shoe!
 she wanted.
 So, the question arises, what are tn
 ethics Of the case? The question is
 mite troublesome, perhaps, but it is in
 teresting, too. It shows there are
 good many buyers who do not risl
 their OWH judgment nor the word Q
 their dealer The only thing that ap
 peas to them is the price mark and i
 is not strange that sometimes the
 1 fine themselves because of their sup
 posed sephistication.

The Southern
Cotton Crop

The following article, from thu
New Orleans Picayune, strikes {
keynote that the Clarion hai
often sounded:
Some weeks ago it was statec
that the Georgian president of /
Southern States corporation was
in Germany for the purpose Of
securing $500, 600, 900 to finance
the Southern cotton crop and es.
tabIish close relations between
the American cotton planters and
German capitalists.
It is much to be doubted II
such an arrangement would be
really beneficial to the planters
who might engage in it, as it
would place them in the power
of the foreign fnanciers should
they be driven by some possible,
if not actually, expected emerg-
ency to press for their money.
The unsettled relations existing
between Germany and England
have several times in the last
few years caused such a pressure
for money that large loanssmade
from France had to be liquated.
Moreover, it is believed to be
most likely that German banks
would entertain another such
scheme after their experience
with the Bleichroder Brazilian
coffee valorization arrangement.
in which some Germany partici-
tant were hard hit. !.
German newspapers of date Of
Aug. IA and or Whereabouts have
expressed themselves on the sub
ject, and translations of their
utterances, as cabled to the New
York Sun, give the following:
The Hamburger Nachrichten
says the scheme is a good one
from the viewpoint of the Amer
lean planters, but as German IN
dustry is largely dependent on
American cotton, the participa-
ton of German capital would be
regrettable. German fnanciers.
the paper says, should first con-
slider home industries.
The Bermen Wessr Zeitung
says the $500, 900. 600 named is
only part Of Germany's cotton
imports from the United States,
for Bremen alone will receive
this season 5000, 900 bales,
worth approximately $500, 600,
600. But, this journal says, it
is difficult to see how German
bankers can be interested in
raising cotton prices against the
consumer. So far as can be as
certained nothing is known in
Bremen about the financing of
the crop.
inquiries by the Berlin Tage-
blatt show that the cotton i'm
porters do not believe that the
necessary capital can be found.
The Deutche Bank disclaims all
knowledge of the scheme and
the Deutche National Bank Of
Berlin believes that the scheme
cannot be carried out.
The Vossiche Zeitung is also
about the success of any
such plan. It does not believe
that any German banking group
would undertake such a risky
transaction, for such a syndicate

Although there is change in the firm
there will be no apparent change in the

very successful trade.

ANOTHER FoRdER AT WORK
Skips Town and Is Arrested at
Garden C1ty


Karl Klotzbach. proprietor of the Ar
lington Cafe. is the latest victim to be
imposed upon by a forger, and is mournA
ing the loss of Sis. is which he gave for
worthless check.
On Sunday man who some days be-
fore had registered at the St. James
hotel as j. E. Balatich and had been
taking his meals at the Arlington. ap-
preached Karl with request that he
cash check for him. as he was short CT
ready money and couldn't get it at the
bank on that day.
The check was drawn by F. E. Mccain
who the fellow said was foreman of
gang of beet thinners working near
Newdale-and was made payable to
John E. Borgan, who had seemingly in
dorsed it. and as everything appeared to
be straight Karl accommodated him with
the sl5.l5.
But that evening the fellow failed to
make his appearance and investigation
revealed the fact that he had skipped
town and left no forwarding address. so
Karl got in touch with the sheriff's office
and hue and cry was sent out. with
the result that the chap was arrested
in Garden City. Kan. on Tuesday night.

legged forger and he was yesterday land
