SOLICITORS BUREAU

Bookings Commercial Club men
will be interested to know that down at
Madison the business men have shut
down on giving contributions to any
and every thing. Scarcely a day passes,
they say, but what they are called
upon to contribute for alleged charities
of various natures by outside solicitors
asd many times the scheme is IN un-
worthy one. The Merchants ~associa-
ton of that city has taken steps to
separate the worthy from the I'M
worthy and hereafter when a solicitor
approaches a business man he will be
handed a card. These cards will be
addressed to the secretary of the Mer-
chants club, whose endorsement of
w%orthiness must be secured before the
solicitor will receive recognition by
business men.-Brookings Register.
In this connection, it Seems timely
to state that the Aberdeen Commercial
club has had its solicitors bureau in
operation for some time, and it's work
has proven very satisfactory. DC

papers. The reporters have the re.
sponsibility of watching for any
changes in time of arrival and depar-
ture, although some of the railroad
agents notify the papers when changes
are about to be made or new trains
added. This is done altogether for the
accommodation of the travelling public,
and but for this service the public
would have to communicate with the
various stations to keep informed. Elk
cept at certain hours it is always
difficult to get into telephone com
msnication with the ticket Offices here,
and in the case of several Of the sta
tons it is utterly impossible to get the
telephone answered most of the time.
Whether this is because the office is
closed between trains or because the
employees simply ignore the telephone
ring we do not pretend to know. But
of this we are sure: If it were not for
the time cards published free by the
newspapers the PUBIC would nave a
rare fine time of it keeping posted On
train schedules. If space demands or
ever nothing more than a WEAKNESS in
newspaper Offices of giving the railroad
gratis something for which they should
pay, should eve prevail over the edi-
tors conception of his obligation to
furnish his readers all the useful IN
formation possible, it is likely the rail
roads would either advertise schedules
in the papers or keep somebody on
hand to answer telephones. Something
doubtless has convinced the railroad
men who met in Indiana that they
have been following the wrong policy.

RAILROAD TIME TABLES

Sioux Falls Press.-According to the
indianapolis News the American Traf-
fc Association, which recently met at
French Lick, have decided to advertise
train arrivals and departures in the
daily press of the country. Many
years ago railways carried time
cars" in the newspapers and paid ad-
vertising rates, or the equivalent in
transportation for the service, but the
cost finally led to the complete aban-
donment of the regular publication OF
schedules and newspaper readers we're
kept informed only of the arrival and
departure OF crack trains which the
roads particularly exploited, or of very
important changes. Fol- the conven-
fence of the travelling public some
newspapers, principally in the smaller
cities, have given every day the neces
sary space for a local time card In
Sioux Falls, for example, the passen-
ger schedules of six different railroads
are published by both the daily news.
