Iowa in the World of Finance.

Announcement is made that John
McHugh, prominent Sioux City
banker, has accepted the vice presi-
dency of the Mechanics and Metals
National of New York at salary
said to be 100000 a year. This is
a fitting recognition of financial
ability and Iowa bankers will join
in congratulating Mr.. McHugh, says
the Des Moines Capitol.
For a state popularity supposed
to be interested in corn rather than
finance, Iowa has done we'll in pro-
ducing financiers. On our tongues
ends are such names as George NJ.
Reynolds, Arthur Reynolds, Leslie
NJ. Shaw, George E. Roberts, and
now comes John McHugh.
If there are any more eastern con-
Germs looking for men who are post
ed on matters financial, the Capital
informs them now that Iowa is able
to furnish the goods from the stock
remaining on hand.

ABOUT BEING "DUNNED."
Good Many People Take Wrong View
of Mere Request to Settle
Account.

The Rockford Register thus sensi-
bly, explains a matter that many peo-
pie look at through the wrong glas-
ses:
Some folks seem to entertain an
statements from other people whom
they are owing-in more common
language, being dunned". 1t is pos
sibly that folks of this sensitive ma
ture do not know that the business
men or others who send them state
ments Of account always receive such
statements from the houses with
which they do busisess. If the &C
count is paid within a specified time
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1915-07-07

a cash discount is usually allowed.
If the account is not paid by the first
of the month following, a second dun
is sent, while if it is not paid by the
fifteenth, the account is sent to the
local bank for collection in the shape
of sight draft. The folks who man
ufacture the stuff that the merchants
buy have to have pay for the goods
they sell, and it follows pretty ma
turally that the merchant who sells
the same goods to the local consumer
has to have pay for the things he
sells if he is to stay in business. A
truth that good many people ought
to take to heart somewhat seriously
is that the breach of etiquette in this
dunning business, if there is one, is
not made by the person who sends
the dun but by the person who has
let an account run so long that dun
is necessary

Giving a Store Distinctive Character.

How shall the progressive mer-
chant give his store some distinctive
character of its own? Fortunes have
been made by men who have sue
ceeded in identifying business with
some individual idea.
One man calls his place the blue
store" or the Red store" He will
paint and paper on those colors, use
them in stationery, in every way
connect the color idea with Misplace
believing that thereby his business
sticks in the public mind.
Another man names his place the
Quality store" and spreads the i'm
preston that special pains are taken
TO buy only first grade goods. Others
appeal to the note of cheapness,
some identify their places with we'll
known makes of goods. Almost
any idea of this kind faithfully car
ried out is effective.
Probably the results are best when
these individual ideas are directly
related to the goods offered for sale,
rather than to the mere exteriors of
the store. Some men have made a
remarkable success by pushing
ahead some little speciality, giving
the public the idea that superior
knowledge, pains, and skill are used
in producing it.
Most merchants do we'll to special
lie In certain lines. The moment
people get to buying one of these
leaders, they will try other things
from the same place.
No man can thus individualize his
store without advertising. 1t takes
lots of hammering to lodge an idea
In the public mind. Once that idea
Is located. it is equally hard for the
other fellow to drive it out.
Tell the people persistently enough
that you have devoted special efforts
to reach perfection in a certain line.
The time will come when they won't
BUY much In that line until they see
what you are doing.

THE DEMOCRATIC PEANUT

Reminiscent suggestions are stir
red by the death of Pembroke D
Gwaltney, of Smithfield, Va, FOL
many years known as the "Peanu
king" Mr.. Gwaltney had much e
do with popularizing this typica
American product.
The five cent bag of peanuts wa:
one of the social facts of the nine
teenth century. When you took the
Small Boy to the circus, a bag O.
peanuts stirred the juvenile heart
and filled that illimitable cavity tina,
served him as stomach.
Also when you took your best girl
to the ball game a good sized bag OF
peanuts was a handsome and ade-
quate treat. The customary brown
paper bag was attractive enough.
Your young women friends might
not be satisfied with any five cent
treat of peanuts today. Also the OF
ferings to their robust hunger must
have more artistic setting than
brown paper. 1t takes a dollar lot
OF candy, put up in shiny boxes with
color printing and picture decora-
ton, to give equal pleasure today.
Young rowdies of rougher period
seemed to delight in Smelling pea
nuts all over the floors of public
places. Today peanuts are apt to be
sold all shelled, which helps the gal
lery floor in better order at places
of entertainment.
The peanut can never be relegat
ed to the background, though it has
to compete with hundreds of other
appetizing eatables today. Nicely
sailed, it is the one appropriate re-
lection for circus, summer resort
frolics, and other outdoor doings. A
peanut munching throng, suggests
outdoor jollity and unconventional
human enjoyment
1t is a truly democratic refresh
ment, moderate in price, satisfyins
to hunger, appetizing, capable of
adding a toothsome flavor in hun
dreds of styles Of cookery. Long live
the peanut, and peace to the ashes
of the Peanut King,

Begin In The Right Place.

Times-R epublican:-A club in
San Francisco burned a book which
had been voted of immoral tenden-
cies, thus publicly proclaiming the
purity of the club and the character
of the book. But how did the
membership fit itself to vote on the
character of the nasty book? By
reading it, of course.
A couple of excellent women
within the acquaintance of the
Times-Republican had heard much
of library fiction to its discredit. So
they secured all the doubtful books
and read them. Some of them were
especially plain in analysis and des-
cription. The conclusion was that
they were not at all what they
should be to be distributed among
young and old. But they read
them. That was their only way of
finding out.
1t is this that the authors and
publishers of books that sell and are
read mainly on their supposed
pruriency count on the curiosity of
man and woman kind. We read
individually and with considerable
avidity lot OF stuff that isn't fit to
be printed and burn it en- masse.
The magazine which banks on stor-
les which would easily classify as
obscene except in words and choice
OF language bank on this. 1t wins
for them, for the nastiest magazines
have the widest circulation nova
days. And their circulation is not
to be based on the patronage and
approval of the slums. They get
their income from homes that would
not permit vile. woman to step
across their thresholds except in
literature
Burning book in public is and
must be considered very much in
the line of four-fiushing while the
book remains the biggest seller"
and the unclean magazine leads all
the rest in circulation and conse-
quent income from subscriptions
and advertising. Movement against
indecency in print must begin at
home. That is the place for it to
begin, whether the indecent play,
the indecent book or the indecent
magazine is in the question.

"NIYSELF AND ME-"

This item of verse is handed us
with a request for publication. The
writer of the lines is unknown, but
whoever he is, strikes a responsive
chord in the breast of every human
being that reads it:
I'm the best pal that l ever had;
/ like to be with me;
/ like to sit and tell myself
Things confidentially.
/ often sit, and ask me -.
If | shouldn't or | should,
And / find that my advice to me
Is always pretty good.
/ never got acquainted with
Myself till here of late;
And / find myself bully chum,
l treat me simply great.
/ talk with me and walk with me
And show me right and wrong,
i never knew how well myself
And me could get along.
/ never try to cheat me,
I'm as truthful as can be;
No matter what may come or go,
I'm on the square with me.
It's great to know yourself and have
A pal that's all your own,
To be such company for yourself
You're never left alone.
You'll try to dodge the masses,
And you'll find crowds joke,
If you only treat yourself as we'll
AS you treat other folk.
I've made a study of myself,
Compared with me the lot,
And I've finally concluded
I'm the best friend I've goe.
Just get together with yourself
And trust yourself with you,
And you'll be surprised how well
yourself
Will like you if you do.

The Ideal Of Civic Service.

Formerly to hold Office in a city
or town government, placed an in
terrogation mark against your re-
putation. II man was elected al
derman of city, his character was
gone. 1t was no use trying to re-
form municipal or state politics. If
you did happen to elect honest men,
they would be grafters before their
terms was out.
At least, so many people believed.
In great many places there was
and is reason for this feeling. But
people are growing discontinued
with sloppy municipal government.
Probably the greatest difficulty in
the way of efficient local govern
ment in American cities lies in the
unwillingness of business and pro-
fessional men to accept public office.
They say they don't want to fawn
and cringe for the favor of politi-
clans, nor consort with Tom, Dick,
and Harry in their hangouts and
loafing places.
This may sound well as an excuse
when your neighbors ask you to run
for the school board or the state leg
islature. But more often the real
reason is unwillingness to give up
time from private affairs.
Yet what satisfaction is there in
going through life and doing moth
ing for your home town? What an
inglorious old age it is, when man
sits down on his dollars, and has
no record of service to his fellows
The experience of holding office,
even in a local government, or In
the lower branch of state legisla-
ture, is valuable and rewarding
one to any man, no matter how high
ones position in life. II man is
Independent and honest, he has ac-
quired an honor that no money can
buy. He has helped build nobler
town and a nobler state.
If only our best and brightest men
could feel the call to this service, in
efficiency and crookedness would
disappear.
