John /. Moore Under Arrest.
According to dispatch in the daily
papers, John l. Moore, formerly Of
Minot, was placed under arrest in
Minneapolis, charged with passing
checks on Minot banks, wherein he
had no funds, these many years.
Moore is a very slippery character
and many in Minot will be glad to
learn that he stands a good chance of
getting what is coming to him. Moore
was engaged in the real estate busi-
ness in Minot for several years and
he was implicated in a number of
deals that would not stand close in
spection.

Many Indians on the Standing Rock

land upon which to make living.

New Machine Strips
Cotton Meal Cakes
Work Formerly Done Painfully, by
Hand, Now Accomplished at
High Speed, Automatically.

Disguised with the antiquated pro-
cess In vogue Of stripping the camel
hair press cloths from cotton meal
cake. an Albanian has invented ma
chine which does the work.
The machine, which is to be man
ufactured by the Buesse Machine
Works of Atlanta, was exhibited at
the Cotton on Mil Superintendent
Convention In Atlanta.
From a slotted cylinder OF smooth
steel, sharp claws project when the
operator presses a treadle These
claws seize the press cloth and tear
II from the cake within a second or
two. then drop the cloths on the
floor.
The work always has been done by
hand, and as the cloths have to be
stripped off while the cakes are hot,
the laborers employed for this pur-
pose often suffered agonies from Bills
tered hands.
They had 10 be specially trained,
also, while an unskllled workman can
operate the new machine at higher
speed than the work could be done by
hand.
The device attracted considerable
attention from the oil mill men In at
tendance at the convention.

One Price For All
New Jobbing Policy
Customers Given no Preference Be-
cause Of Being Able to Give
Large Orders.

The growing tendency on the part
Of large wholesalers to do away with
quantity prices and discounts is said
to forecast a new era in business.
It is essentially a movement to sup
press unfair competition.
1t is apparently founded on the
basis that the business Of the small
dealer is just as desirable as that
of his larger competitor and that
for this reason, the former should
in no way be handicapped by conces-
siOns to the latter because Of his
superior purchasing power.
The policy of the law in several
States is distinctly against all spe-
ciai concessions whether they are re-
bates or confidential prices. and there
is a marked tendency in business cir
Giles to view them in the same light.
Several nationally known firms have
served notice on their customers in
the last few months that while large
orders are not to be discouraged they
viii be accepted no longer as basis
for terms and discounts that are not
granted to smaller buyers.

Dinner to Assembly
Chamber Of Commerce to Entertain
Governor, Head Of Senate, Speak.
er and Legislature.

Absolute harmony between the bus
mess interests of Atlanta and the
Legislature of the State of Georgia
is necessary for the upbuilding of
Atlanta
Perfect understanding of the aims
and motives of the city is necessary
to create the harmony so much de-
sired.
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
therefore. intends to entertain the
Legislature of Georgia at an elabor-
ate dinner within a week after it
convenes.
The Governor. the President of the
Senate, the Speaker OF the House and
the Georgia Legislature will be the
guests; the Chamber Of Commerce,
the hosts.

TRADEMARK IS
WHOLESALERS
BEST WEAPON
Adoption of blouse" Label Pro-
tects Against Price-SIashing
Tactics of Big Rivals.

Atlanta has reason to thank the de-
vice long known to the world as the
trademark.
The distinctive label Of the manu-
facturer and the jobber has regained
for the city volumes OF trade which II
seemed likely powerful rivals would
annex. and the label has fastened a
grip on this trade which makes any
serious inroads by other cities in fu-
ture extremely improbable.
Dry goods give a conspicuous ex-
ample.
Not many years ago It was the Gus
tom to sell cloths with the makers
label Ducks, calico, percales and
ginghams were sold by the name
given them at the mill. The retailers
and even consumers knew them by
this name.
'Troquois" flannel, for instance
might be as well known to the retail
er and his customers as the best adj
vertised brand OF crackers.
Taking advantage of this state OF
affairs. great houses in New York
Baltimore, Chicago, Louisville and St
Louis began to make arrangements
with the mills producing these we'll
known lines. They would buy up the
mills entire output, or three quarters
of II. Then their travelling statesmen
would invade Atlanta territory, quot
ing "IrOquois" flannel at a price below
the figure at which Atlanta jobbers
themselves could get It.
The retailer. of course. bought The
big competitors Of Atlanta made little
on "Iroquois." but while selling fan
mel their statesmen would load the
dealer with laces, novelties and other
lines on which there was a good mar
gin OF profit.
Atlanta jobbers suffered In this way
a little while. Then they armed them
selves with the same weapon and
proceeded to fight
They discarded the mill name for
the goods and adopted one of their
own. ''Iroquois" flannel perhaps was
rechristened "Peachtree" flannel This
label was protected. No mill and no
other jobber than the one adopting It
could use the name "PeachtTee."
Obviously, IL became impossible for
the New York jobber to underseu the
Gothamite had to begin the old Just
as-good" argument, always a weak
line OF selling talk.
iroquois' flannel Is just as good as
'Peachtree' and half cent cheaper, "
Is not half 50 convincing as Peach
tree flannel, half a cent under Atlanta
prices"
So the New York, Chicago, Balti-
more, Louisville and st. Louis sales
men began To disappear from the
Southeast Very few of them are TO
be found In this territory now.
In the meantime the atlanta jobber
has built up double protection for
himself His customers have learned
to call for his goods. and to demand
them in preference to others on the
other hand. II some big dealer in Chi
cago buys the entire output Of a mill
which has been supplying him with
ginghams, he can go to another mill.

piece" and are not paid for imperfect
pieces.
From the moulds the castings go
to the cleaning room, where, in re-
volving drums, small bits Of iron
called stars" free them from the sand
clinging to them. Obstinate sand is
removed by a wire brush.
The castings then are arranged on
shelves in the mounting room.
Skilled workmen assemble these
pieces, after grinding them free from
rough edges and inequalities. Under
their hands, the stoves seem to grow.

mounter, then the foreman, and then

But the troubles of the stove max
ers do not end always with shipping
the finished product to the dealer
Sometimes there is a complaint. A
circular letter informs the buyer of
many things to be inspected to see
if the stove is set up properly. If
the trouble can not be ascertained
in this way, the stove is sent back to
the factory.
Here it is set up. and a fire is
built in it. Perhaps the buyer COM
plains that the oven will not bake.
In this case, dough is procured. the
fire is built. and the biscuit are baked
at the factory. The exact time of
building the fire. and the exact time
at which the biscuit are done is
noted.
Perhaps the complaint Is that the
water tank does not work. The time
needed to heat the tank full of water
to a certain degree is ascertained in
the same manner.

the trouble is not with the stove, but
with the fiue, or the way the stove
was set up.
