In all business operations involving
credit, certain requisites are essential
IL the risk is to prove satisfactory TO
the one who extends the credit. These
requisites are best expressed in what
has we'll been termed the Three Big
C's OF Credit" namely. Character. Ca
pac!ty and Capital. This talk will COW
or the first.
In order to possess a business char
acter, a man need not have what is
ordinarily known as business honesty,
for business honesty Is not as big n
thing as business integrity. Neither
need man say long prayers. and pass
the plate. however admirable these
traits may be. He must have more
than a semblanCe OF religion; he must
carry the religion Of the Ten Com
mandments, the Sermon on the Mount
and the Golden Rule into his business
life. He must do no tricky thing; he
must be on the level. He must give the
square deal. His word must be better
than his bond He must mark goods
fairly, advertise honestly. rectify any
error, correct any misunderstanding,
and never forget that his best adyer-
tisement is a satisfied customer. and
satisfied customers are made only by
business integrity.
The underlying reason why some
men have become great merchants is

TIllage Essential.

Throughout West Virginia there are
regions where the soils arc said to be
worn out and exhausted. There is no
such thing rs worn out soil even
though II is not capable Of producing
profitable yields. Tillage will improve
a poor soil and make 1t profitable and
will increase the production OF the fer
tile soil and make II more profitable.
When tillage is followed by the
growing Of cover crops and organic
matter Is added to the soil, the farmer
Is well on the road t. improvement.
As manures are unavailable in sufilc-
lent quantities. fertilizer should be
used in order TO establish the cover
crop and cause a heavy growth the

ALL the county officers terms
have been extended to four years
with the,exception of Judge of
Probate. This was done by the
legislature a few years ago and
why they excepted the Judge of
Probate is because the state consti-
tuition fixes the term of this officer
at two years. Amendment No.
at the coming election will remedy
this, if carried. In justice to the
Judges of Probate in the state it is
hoped that the amendment may be
adopted, Voters should remember
that failure to vote on the amend
ments counts as a vote against.
Vote for Amendment No. and
thus remove the necessity of elect
ing one county officer every two
wears when all the others are elect
ed for four years.

\ United States Senator Nelson is
authority for the statement that
the Adamson eight hour railroad
bill which President Wilson
forced on congress will materi-
ally cut into the profits of the
shippers of the Northwest before
another year is passed. Though
putting up a resemblance of a
fight the railroads, he intimates,
are preparing to accept the new
order Of things and as an offset
they are going to charge the in
crease in cost of wages TO the
shippers. This is indicated i'll a
number of petitions filed with the
interstate commerce commission
for permission to increase the
freight rates. AS Senator Nelson
points out an increase in the rail
road employees wages might be
justified, but in this case the man
who earns $40 or less per month
will not be benefited. Only those
who earn from $3.50 up will profit.

THE following letter to DR.. J.
J. Ecklund of Duluth may prove OF
interest to our readers. The letter
says:
DR.. John J. Ecklund.
Duluth, Minnesota.
My dear DR.. Ecklund: 1 hope
that you are doing all you can for
the election of Mr.. Hughes. It is
a remarkable fact that in this cam
paigr the Democrats do not seek to
justify their tariff policy, nor
Wilson's Mexican policy, nor his
diplomatic negotiations with foreign
countries. Their only cry is that
Wilson has kept us out of War. "
To me this seems a preposterous
claim, when we bear in mind that
none of the belligerent nations of
Europe had any desire to enter
into a war with us. They have
had their hands full at home and
were all very glad to have our
goodwill, and inasfar as the
necessities of war would allow they
went out of their way to placate
us. Neither was there any senti-
ment among our own people, either
in Congress or outside, to get into
a war with any of t e belligerent
nations. And even if President
Wilson had wanted war, he could
not have gotten into one because ]
am satisfied that Congress would
have sat down on him. 1t is i'm
possible to get up fight between
two parties when neither wants to
fight. From first to last there has
never been any danger of war be-
tween this country and any of the
belligerent nations of Europe, and
the statement that Wilson has
kept us out of war;" to thinking
people, must seem mere twaddle
and nonsense, and I do not see
how it is possible to fool thinking
and intelligent men with such hue
and cry.
Yours truly,
KNUTE NELSON.

NORTHEASTERN Minnesota

NORTHEASTERN Minnesota is
coming to be one of natures most
accessible Fairgrounds. The
natural advantages to be found in
lakes, rivers, timber and rugged
scenery are to be found throughout
this entire section and with the
building of good roads thousands
of beautiful camping and recrea-
ton spots are being opened to the
motorist. 1t is but 90 miles from
Ely to Port Arthur. Of this dis
tance there are about 80 miles of
road to be built in this country
and the same amount in Canada.
The Canadian officials have given
assurance that when the road is

remain fourteen states in the

are New York, Ohio, Indiana and

New York with another state will

With the loss of New York the
