The average travelling actor IL little
better than refined vagrant without

Omaha Idea for
Statesmen Attracts
Large Attention

There are probably comparatively few
people IN Omaha who are aware that
the Omaha idea" as II II called. IL
rovoiutionising the methods by which
salesmen are showing their goods
throughout the country.
The idea originated with omahas
wholesale dry goods houses and Is now
extensively adopted all over the country.
II has drawn the attention Of a writer
IN the Saturday Evening Post In their
last issue. The following Is part Of an
article by James II. Collins: New kinks
IN selling are being contrived to meet the
need for economy. In clothing lines. for
instance. the drummer has carried a
sample Of each garment in the seasons
styles. His big sample trunks often filled
wagon, and the money tied up in sam
pies for a large sales force was consider
able II was costly to ship go much
baggage. and there was delay IN getting
samples >unpacked limiting the number
OF customers who could Be visited in a
week, as well as causing waste Of GUS
toners time In looking over so many
bulky packages.
ITO relieve this situation there has
lately come the Omaha idea for such
goods. Instead OF making up sample
garments for all the statesmen, single
samples are made and photographed on
models. Each salesman then takes on
the road portfolios OF these photographs,
with cuttings Of the fabrics from which
each is made. and details OF trimmings,
Innings and other information needed In
making selections.
1.-THE statesmen get about more quickly
the customer looks over the line in less
time. and the cost OF doing business Is
decreased all around. This improvement
IN methods. made originally in the ctty
after which II is named, seems capable
Of very wide application IN selling"

SUCCESSFUL YEARS business
North Fork Fire Insurance Company
Has Splendid Year, With but
Small Losses.

The Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Companies of Minnesota are saw
ing the rural land owners hundreds of
thousands of dollars each year in in
surance premiums. The North Fork
Mutual Fire Insurance Company do
ing business in the towns of North
Fork, Raymond, Ashley, Sank Centre,
Getty, Lake George, Crow River and
Crow Lake in Stearns county; Bur-
bank and Colfax in Kandiyohi; Lake
Johanna, Bangor, Grove Lake and
Westport in Pope and West Union
and Kandota townships in Todd coun-
ty, is one of the very strong. - "a
entire state.
The North Fork Company has sew
eral years of successful business back
of it, and in the year 1914 only one
assessment of Ito of one per cent
was levied to care for the losses which
amounted to $724.4S. When it is con-
sidered that this company has $780,
734 insurance in force on $40 policies
this showing is remarkable and speaks
volumes for the stability of the men,
bership and care of the officials in
writing insurance.
During the past year 1913 new pol
icies were issued and 112 discontinued.
Every dollar claimed for losses was
settled in full. Of the losses sustained
1926 was for fire and $429.4S was
caused by lightning.
The officers of the company are: G.
X. Quill, Sank Centre, president; J. A.
Anderson, Belgrade, vice president;
Gustav Levorson, Brooten, secretary;
c. R. Bruce, Sank Centre, treasurer.

BASEBALL Meeting
Gathering Held Sunday Afternoon to
Discuss the Prospects for the
Coming Season.

A number of local baseball fans got
together Sunday afternoon and dis
cussed the prospects of a baseball
team for 1915. Mr.. Debeau of the
Caughren, was elected manager and
the duties of the secretary and treas
urer were also given him placing him
in absolute authority in matters pe--
taining to the organization except the
handling of the players which is the
duty of captain to be elected later.
1t was generally agreed that the first
thing to do would be to purchase new
suits, the old ones having served more
than their allotted time already. The
proposition of maintaining a battery,
or at least pitcher on a.salary, was
discussed and commented favorably
upon. Sank Centre lacks sadly home
twirler, but could easily furnish first
class material for the remainder of
the team if this deficiency could be
supplied. Before definite action is TAX
en- Manager Dubeau will at first
sound the attitude Of the pc ople in gen.
eral and the Commercial Club, and if
he is assured this attitude is enthusi-
astic enough to maintain live organ
ization, he will call another meeting
and an aggressive effort will be put
forth to raise money and start the ball
a-rolling and it is none too early if a
creditable showing is to be made. It
is generally conceded that this city
will get behind a ball team that shows
they are worthy of support. A live
ball team is an asset to any town.
