We need to keep that man. We

/ Emancipation
Under President Wilson busi-
ness has been emancipatcd from
panics; the farmers from chaotic
credit conditions the W. ..kers IF
the Nation from adverse condi-
tions which persisted for gener-
stions the children by an enlight-
ened economic principle which no
President ever before advocated.
When Woodrow Wilson was
elected the voters of the Nation
were emancipated from the neces-
sity Of depending on a few rich
men with far-reaching vested in,
terests to finance a presidential
campaign and it is imperative
that this emancipation be made
permanent.

California Tries to Bar Sugar as
Advertising Bait

State Sealer of Weights and
Measures Johnson of California
has started a general campaign
against selling sugar at less than
cost as a bait for selling sugar
customers other merchandise. In
a letter he is sending to certain
cut price grocers he says:
The attention of this depart
ment is called to your advertising
in the local paper where you
offer cane sugar, 16 pounds for
81, and condition the sale of
same upon the purchase of COM
modities the profits of which, nc
doubt, make up for the loss that
you may sustain in the delivery
of sugar at price below the
market value of same.
advertising the sale of a
staple commodity at price be-
low the market value, and con-
ditioning this sale upon the pur.
chase of other commodities, which
other commodities are sold al
values in excess of the true
market values, which excessive
profit is calculated to make III
for the loss in the sale of the
staple commodities, is altogether
misleading, and has a genera
tendency to disturb legitimate
business.
1T further has a tendency Il
disturb the principle of legiti
mate and fair competition be
tween merchants, and does no
accrue to the interests of tn,
consumer. In fact, it is sub
terfuge method of obtaining bust
ness through misrepresentation

tising Prohibited, covers thi
matter and makes the committs
of same a misdemeanor. -Mel

in such shape that when pay day
came he would not have to de-
pend upon borrowed money to
pay his men.
Nothing so hurts an application
for loan in a well managed
bank as a low average balance,
and all good bankers give heed to
this factor. Therefore, as a
starting point, do your business
through a bank, depositing your
receipts and making your pay
ments by check. and keep a bal
ance large enough to gain the
bankers good will when he looks
at his ledgers to see how much of
your own money you have avail
able when the needs of business
require. Don't do all your busi-
ness on borrowed money, for il
the banker finds it out, he won't
discount your note.

The prices on paper are grad
ually on the increase and waste
paper is worth too much to throw
away now. A letter has been
written to a purchaser asking
prices they pay per ton for waste
paper, and other information.
If we had a community waste
paper box it would not take long
to secure a ton and the money
derived from such source could
be used in beautifying our park
or for any other purpose which
would be of benefit to all. 1t will
be no expense to anyone and
might help keep the yards clean.
Don't throw away anything that
is worth something. Practice

In the first place the banker
will expect you to be depositor.
Most banks make it a rule to
lend to only those who are GUS
toners, and customers mean de-
positors. If you favor the bank
er with your account, giving him
a profit from the use of your
money, he will be glad to recip-
rocate and let you use his money
when you need it and offer the
proper security. The rule is we'll
established to lend in the proper
ton of not over five to one; that
is, if you keep a balance of 800,
the banker would lend you $500,
if he thought we'll of your credit
standing. The greatest mistake
business men make is to keep
little or no balance in the bank
and then expect the bank to
accommodate them with loans.
Take an actual case that hap
pened recently within the eX-
perience of the writer Of these
talks. A business man wanted
a note of S100 discounted to
meet his payroll. The banker
knew him. His moral standing
was good. In looking up the
account his balance was but fifty
cents. Now what did that indi-
cate? Just this: That the would
be borrower had trusted every.
body until his capital was on his
books, here, there and every,
where, and he was not collecting
his bills. He had no free
money" to carry on his business
He had no working capital. He
was strapped" The banker
was perfectly justified in asking
the borrower either to make bet
ter collections, or get his affair.

WHEN YOU BORROW
MONEY

In the course of human events
it becomes necessary for most
people to borrow money. Busi-
ness men who can make ten per
cent. or more out of trading find
it profitable to borrow in order to
carry on business on a larger
scale, discount their bills and
carry complete stocks. Others
find it desirable at times to bor-
row for various purposes, and
some find it necessary to borrow
because they have either failed
to save, or have been unable to
save and are confronted with an
exigency that requires money.
Should you at any time find
yourself in such a condition, d.
not borrow from your friends, go
to your bank. That is what
banks are for. They live by
their loans, and no banker will
refuse a loan that meets certain
requirements and is in his esti-
nation good. 1t is proposed in
the next two or three talks on
banking to tell you what the
banker wants to know when you
offer him your note. Whether
the loan is large or small the
same rules apply.

STATE OF MINNESOTA
Executive Department
ExeCuti,
Proclamation

The Legislature of the State
has wisely requested the deslg-
nation by public proclamation of
the third Tuesday of June in each
wear as Good Roads Day..
More and more is the public
awakening to the necessity of
road improvement and the great
value and Importance Of perma-
nent road construction which will
lessen the cost of the marketing
of products and continually in
crease the volume Of traffic. 1t
is a well-known fact that the
farmers of our State on account
of bad roads are losing millions
of dollars annually in the moving
of their crops, aside from the
loss occasioned through the lower
value of their lands by reason of
their inaccessibiIity to market.
Good roads, however, influence
not only the economic but the
social conditions of a community
by eliminating the loneliness and
isolation of rural districts and by
creating better opportunities for
school attendance and social life.
Therefore, the people of the
State are hereby requested to
make special effort on Tuesday,
the goth day of June, to secure
contributions of labor, material
and money toward the improve.
ment of public highways in their
respective communities.
! In witness whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused

hereto affixed, at the capitol, ir

Diversifcation Profitable.

The coming of the boil weevil de-
cade hence, while in some respects a
calamity. will be attended with good
results. The injury to cotton by the
pest will cause farmers to curtail the
acreage of the staple and devote much
land to other crops. While practically
all farmers admit that diversifcation
is profitable, yet the vast majority ad-
here to the old one-money- crop way.
The farmers of Trenton are proving
that asparagus can be grown with
greater net profit than cotton and far
mers in Beaufort county are making a
great success of growing lettuce. Some
truck farmers in Beaufort will net this
year 81, 500 per acre from lettuce, and
it is thought by many that lettuce can be
grown almost as proftably in this Sec
ton. In fact, some farmers in the Clark S
Hill section have been growing it for
several years with profit. Tomatoes
can also be profitably grown here.
The outlook indicates that cot
ton growing will be profitable for at
least few more years in the South
but other crops, as shown by the yield
of lettuce in Beaufort county, can be
made even more profitable.

Battle of Manila.

On Monday Admiral Dewey celebrated
the 18th anniversary of the battle of
Manila Bay. Probably history does
not record more decisive naval victo-
nv than that which Admiral Dewey and
his men won before breakfast on the
morning of May l., 1898, and yet when
the inferior character of the enemy's
ships is considered, there is not so
much ground for exultation. The Span
ish gunboats were as much inferior to
the American men-ofwar as the Ameri-
can vessels then in commission are now
inferior to the latest type of warship.
During the Spanish-American war
the Olympia was the pride of the
American navy and was pointed to as
the acme of perfection among fight
ing craft, while now this vessel is prac-
aically out of date and is regarded as
ft only for the junk heap. So great
and rapid are the strides of science,
especially in the matter of devising
means and munitions of war, that be-
fore a new engine of destruction is
fairly tried-out it is almost obsolete.
When Admiral Dewey won his laurels
at Manila, wireless communication,
seroplanes for oversee attack and sub
marines for undersea attack were prac-
fically unknown.
When the war in Europe reveals to
us every day how well equipped the
other world powers are for defense, it
behooves US to keep pace in providing
