TRANSIENT SOLICITORS
DISPOSITION TO CUT OUT AN
EVIL IN BUSINESS.

Business men throughout the state
are becoming tired of a custom that
has been and is being abused. We
refer to soliciting money from mer-
chants and other business men for
various purposes. Scarcely a day
passes that business men are not call
ed upon to contribute for alleged
charities Of various nature by outside
solicitors who make a business of IL.
Many times the scheme is an un-
worthy one and the contributor while
he gives of his substance as he be-
lieves in the interest of charity, he Is
simply grated. Commercial clubs of
the cities of the state are taking the
matter up with a view of separating
the worthy from the unworthy. The
plan is for the business man who
is approached by a solicitor of what
ever nature to refer him to the secre-
tary of the Commercial club or Mer-
chants association of the city. The
secretary investigates and If the so
licitor and his enterprise is deemed
worthy and is approved by the seere-
tary, he is provided with a card of
endorsement issued by the secretary
and must necessarily present this
card in order to gain the attention of
the merchant. This is not new in
many of the more important towns in
the state and has served to reduce
the abused custom of soliciting to a
minimum. The Madison Merchants
association has taken the matter up
and a system of cards will be dis
- -
handed to solicitors when they are
approached. These cards will be ad-
dressed to the secretary of the Mer-
chants club, whose endorsement of
worthiness must be secured before
the solicitor will receive recognition
by business men.

ADOPT WIRELESS
SOUTH DAKOTA HIGH SCHOOLS
DEVELOP RADIO TELEGRAPH
FOR COMMUNICATION.

Mitchell, Oct. Accommodation
by radio telegraph outfits among the
leading high schools of South Dakota
is being planned, as the most recent
phase of the study OF electricity.
Among the high schools which are
figuring on the installation of wire
less apparatus are Mitchell, Sioux
Falls, Aberdeen, Madison, Yankton,
Pierre and Huron.
Huron high school was the first in
the state to install a wireless outfit.
Another has recently been added to
the equipment of the Mitchell high
school and Madison is now preparing
one. Three other cities in the state
will be similarly equipped within the
present school year. Prof. G.. II.
Shelton OF Mitchell has written TO
the other high schools suggesting the
formation of a league.
Among the results planned from
the installation of wireless outfits in
the several schools will be communi-
cation of the results of football
games, track meets and debates, as
well as other messages of interest.
AS most of the radio outfits will per
nit the sending and receiving of mes
sages for a distance of only 100
miles, it will be probable that the
messages will have to be relayed.

AN INNOVATION
FRANK G. SMITH SHOWS RIGHT
SPIRIT IN GOING AFTER
MAIL ORDER TRADE.

The trade-at-home idea is gaining
ground rapidly all over the country.
Primarily, perhaps, it is because peo-
pie are beginning to realize hat it's
to their advantage to foster home in
dustry and spend their money where
it will eventually get back into their
own pockets.
But there's another important rea-
son which is that local merchants are
learning to compete with the mail or
der houses on a different basis.
They're beginning to extend the same
accommodations that are offered by
the most strenuous out of town COM
petition and to make their sales
equally attractive.
A case in point is the new watch
club now being formed by Frank C.
Smith. In times past plenty of or
ders have left this city for watches
because out of town houses allowed
responsible people to purchase such
merchandise on a convenient payment
plan. This plan has an especially
strong appeal to a watch buyer be-
cause it enables him to conveniently
buy a much higher grade timepiece
than he would otherwise feel able to.
Those who took advantage of this
plan naturally felt that they had a
thoroughly good excuse for not heed
ing the trade-at-home pleas. For
they were buying an accommodation
they couldn't get at home.
Mr.. Smith realizes this. He says
that he believes that most people are
glad to patronize home merchants
whenever they can do SO without I'M
reasonable sacrifices. So he's put
ting on a club plan of selling watches
that will give local people an even
more convenient watch buying oppor-
tunity than it is possible to obtain
from any outsider.
He has made special arrangements
with a famous watch factory so that
he can organize a convenient pay
ment club. This club plan gives him
the necessary volume to permit spe'
cial terms and at the same time guar
antee a rock bottom, same as cash
price. Ii is being started this week
and has already attracted a great
deal of favorable attention.
1t is such plans as this, giving the
customer every reasonable benefit
which in our opinion will do most
toward keeping home trade In thu
proper channels.
