would not do q girlish thing: he
would not look In a mirror to see the
face Of a sweetheart simply because
that was a girls prerogative. But be.

the idea that there was no more reason
why q boy should not e his sweet
heart than that a girl should e her
lover. Then as 500 as be had spoken
the words he blushed.
His sister Kate. two years younger
than Clarence, saw the blush. and It
gave her an idea: Kate was full Of
mischief. and nothing so delighted her
~ playing a prank. II she could only
arrange to have her brother see q girls
face in a mirror on the coming Hal
ioween! She clapped her hands in
glee at the thought
Once the idea had taken root in
Hates head she fell to planning the
details. At first she thought as to
which Of her girl friends she would
prefer for Clarence's sweetheart. She
PASSED them all In review and at last
decided that not one Of them was good
enough for him. Besides, the effect
upon him would be more pronounced
and he would more likely be deceived
Eif he should see one he had never seen
before. Then Alice Archie, whom Kate
had met at boarding school and 'ad-
mired very much, occurred to her.
Clarence had. never seen Alice. Kate
would ask her friend to visit her on
thet81st OF October. But she must con-

Statesmen and Side Lines
Should Latter Be Allowed?

1t was maintained that the original
employers had no right in such cases
to demand that the road man give his
entire time to their lines, providing,
of course, that the handling of the
principal line did not suffer from the
time spent on the lesser goods. Sales
men handling side lines saw to it, it
was said, that this condition did not
arise, mainly because the earnings
that could be made on the secondary
goods were not so great as those COM
ing from sales of the principal line.
One instance was cited of textile
salesman who earned close to 100000
year by handling two side lines
along with his principal line, being
paid on a straight commission basis
for all three and settling his own road
expenses. This man. 1t was said,
would not take position in which he
would not be permitted to sell side
lines after he had made" a town with
his principal goods, and it was fur
Their said that there wasn't a house
In the city in his line of business who
wouldn't take him on IL the oppor-
tunity offered.
The Credit Mems Bulletin suggests
that the best way to meet the matter
of secret contracts Is to have a writ
ten agreement between the house and
the statesmen that they are to devote
their entire time to furthering the in
terests of the house. The danger of
being caught handling side lines with
this agreement in existence would, ac-
cording to The Bulletin, greatly in
crease the will power of statesmen
when It came to refusing alluring Of
fers made by other firms.

William A. Ware. Sees Blessing in

Farm Products Help.

Business will be in better shape
January 1 than it has been in ten
years"
This is the prediction of William
A. Ward, president OF the Ward
Truitt Company, who sees a whole
some lesson and a real blessing In the
recent financial stringency.
Some people think the conserva-
tive tendencies of the past few months
have hurt business, but in my opinion
they have been the best thing that
could have come to u.s." declared Mr..
Ward. 'Retrenchment has been
necessary to put business on a sound
footing, and has taught us that with
all our prosperity we should be care
full in extending. Hereafter business
is going to be on a saner. more legi-
innate basis-there will be less specu-
latiOn. and the result will be good
THE tone OF visitors to this store
is very much the same. The cotton
crop has been produced at about one
third the expense of the year be-
FORE and the price of 131a and IA
cents is making the farmers feel fine.
There is more of corn, wheat and oats
and other things In the ground than
there has been in long time. Much
corn means plenty of meat and meat
is a precious thing in the larder.
Farmers are enjoying a liberal
measure of prosperity. The auto
mobile has found its way to his place.
He can market his produce more
quickly and easily and at less cost.
Where he formerly planted sorghum
he now plants ribbon cane. In other
ways he is improving the quality. He
is also learning the value of diver
sification in raising crops. A power
full influence in this direction is that
of the corn and canning clubs, which
have not only encouraged more proc
duction, but stressed quality Far
mers have found it profitable in many
ways to compete for prizes, and this
spirit has made possible better prod
ucts and widespread interest in the
things of the farm"

RISING
IN COST, WITH
No HELP AHEAD
Whitcomb Co. Says Shrewd Gro
Gerry Jobbers Are Buying Now
in Considerable Volume.

Prices Of such staples as flour, rice
and coffee viii advance for some time
to come. The tariff bill will have lit
tie effect on these necessaries of life,
according to w. NJ. Burke, manager
of II. H. Whitcomb &, Burke Co., gro
Gerry brokers, No. 149 Madison ave-
nue..
Flour already is cheap" says Mr..
Burke. There was a considerable re-
duction in it's price when the United
States made its bumper crop of wheat
If anything, flour should go up, be-
cause it now seems that the world
supply is not as great as forecast,
1T does not seem that putting -four
on the free list will have much eff
feet. The bill provides that flour shall
be admitted free only from countries
which admit American flour free. So
Argentina and Canada, under their
present laws, still have to pay duty.
No other countries are likely to ex-
port wheat this year.
Rice still is protected by sc cents a
bushel duty, and the crop has been
cut very short by floods in Louisiana
and East Texas, which sections grow
most Of the rice the United States
produces.
I'VE look for a sharp advance IN
rice, and shrewd jobbers are making
their purchases now.
--latest advices from Brazil point
to a short crop of coffee, and the mar
ket, it seems probable, win continue
to rise. Our correspondents in New
Orleans advise early purchases as
likely to result in economy.
ut is a bull year all around. For
tunately, Georgia is in excellent posi-
ton. The bull market in cotton IS
providing the State with the whers-
withal to pay for other expensive
commodities, and a great deal 20
spare. Georgia is lucky in having
grown a big crop IF corn, which is
extremely expensive this season
Money which in past seasons has gone
out of the State for horse and mule
feed this season will stay at home.
Trade is decidedly brisk. The de-
mand from the country has exceeded
all expectations This undoubtedly is
because retailers were caught with
bare shelves, and, to tell the truth,
wholesalers are much in the same
plight. This is another reason for ad =
vancing prices. Premiums are paid
for immediate delivery

q HoULD statesmen carry side

@ HOULD statesmen carry side
- lines?
Opinions of Atlanta manufac-
turers and jobbers differ the general
belief being, however, that If statesmen
are paid salaries it is not proper to
work on the side, and that If on
commission basis, it is.
According to the current issue of
The Bulletin of the National Associa-
ton OF Credit Men, the attention of
that organization has been called to
the attempts made by some business
houses to sell their products as side
lines by making secret contracts with
travelling statesmen engaged by other
houses on a regular salary basis. In
Quiry among local business houses on
this point revealed a knowledge>of the
condition referred to. but none of the
merchants seen was willing to con-
lecture as to the attitude Of the sales
men regarding it. The attitude of the
House on the question was made plain
in several instances by the fiat state
ment that any proof of statesmen hav-
ing such contracts, whether they were
paid on a salary basis or commission,
would result in instant dismissal.
Among statesmen interviewed on the
matter there was an opinion prevalent
that the knight of the grip" had no
right to enter into secret contracts
with other houses for handling side
lines, If paid by his employers on a
salary basis. BY those who were paid
on a straight commission basis, and
who paid their own expenses while on
the road, a different viewpoint was
taken.

ing-keep him thoroughly informed
of general conditions in his particu-
lar line of commerce.
In commerce so wonderfully
complex as Atlanta'S and that of the
Southeast, the failure of the monsoon
in India, a strike in Paterson, n. j.,
a revolution in China, may have i'm
portant consequences. The merchant
would feel these consequences with
out, perhaps, knowing the cause.
AS a matter of fact, the three ex-
amples given are not exaggerated.
Serious damage to India's jute crop
would mean more costly cotton bag
ging and burlaps; the Paterson strike
cost milliners and all dealers in rib
bons considerable money and incOn-
venience. China's revolution has cur
tailed the consumption Of cotton.

Something of the mission Of the

better because The American enjoys
resources which a trade journal can
not command; because its news will
not be confined to any one line of

be of interest to all, and because its
news will be fresher.
