A board of trade man was asked
what was the biggest obstacle he had
to meet in his efforts to boom his
town. He replied by giving a frag-
ment of personal experience. "The
first thing 1 took up when l begun on
this job" he said, "was the matter
of losses by our merchants through bad
debts. | organized simple little sys-
tenn by which the merchants were to
report to me monthly the names of all
persons who we're fairly to be consid-
cred dead beats. Then / was to notify
the other merchants Of the risk they
took in dealing with these persons.
The thing was perfectly good--on pap
err. found after little that very
few of the merchants were making
these reports which they had agreed to
give me Yet | had reason to believe
that they were losing nearly FIVE per
cent on their sales through bad debts.
Finally I asked one merchant why he
had sent me no such names as he had
promised to give me. He replied that
after he had lost a hundred dollars on
man, he left rather DESTROYS to see
his competitors take the fellow on so
that they too would drop another
hundred on him. What possible adj
vancement can town expect if this
spirit prevails9 In his anxiety to see
his competitors suffer, this merchant
was cutting himself off from all chance
OF getting help from the men in his
own line of trade. BY this failure of
cooperation the merchants continued
to suffer- and an appreciate amount
was added to the cost of living in the
town for all debt paying people. This

stances Of lack of cooperation be-
tween men of the town referred to.
1T one set of merchants wanted to close
for a holiday, the other set would in
sist on keeping open. If one element
cuts out trading stamps, the other
would put them in. Merchants would
sign agreements circulated by the
board of trade and then violate them.
The city referred to has very unusual.
ly good transportation facilities and a
highly central position. Yet somehow
1t does not grow much. Probably this
spirit of disunion is the great obstacle
in its path. Nothing can be accom-
plished in the way of town promotion
unless there is a cordial union of all
interests. No business man likes to
move into town where there is dis
cord. 1t is disheartening to all trying
to do public work to find that their eff
forts are not backed up by all ele-
ments. When any business organiza-
zion is formed, the majority should
rule. The minority will do far better
to sink their own individual ideas and
quit throwing sand into the machine. y

The penalty imposed is the maximum

ing that the defendant be credited with
the time he had spent in the county jail

1t is possible that an appeal to the

and an effort made to prevent Capella
being taken to the state prison pend
ing the hearing of the appeal.

feet of trestle on the north end OF
the Missouri. Kansas 4 Texas Rail-
road bridge gave way, together
with four cars loaded with coal
that was used as an anchor. Heavy

but the quantity increased toe fast

trestle to give way today
All passenger trains for the
north have been annulled both by
the Katy and Frisco. The latter
road uses the bridge Jointly.
Heavy rains through Oklahoma
washed the Katy track near Atoka,

The northbound Katy Flyer
