A GOOD CITIZEN.

Our understanding of a good citi-
zen is a man who is ever ready and
willing to assume his share OF the
work for the common good of the
community of which he resides. He
is willing at all times to dig in his
pocket and pay what he can afford
to pay for public matters. This he
will do without a kick. He is al
ways boosting his home town and
presenting it's most favorable side to
the outside world. He is good
fellow" not only down town on the
street, but to his family within his
home. He pays his taxes without
making such a roar about it that
people think paying taxes is original
with him. He takes pride in keeping
his premises neat and tidy. He is
tolerant in his religious views and
is free from bigotry.' He believes in
living and letting the other fellow
live. He is free from avarice and
jealousy and is glad to see his fellow
man get ahead in the world. He has
a kind word for young and old He
is a man among men, and plays a
mans part in the little things of
every day life. This is our idea of a
good citizen. What's yours?-Win-
nebago City Enterprise.

TRAINING SALESPEOPLE.

Retail merchants complain about
the difficulty of getting competent
young people as store clerks. Many
boys and girls take up store work
merely because they can't think OF
anything else to do. They have no
special aptitude or liking for it.
The necessity of special education
for salespeople was discussed at the
recent New York convention of the
National Retail Dry Goods Associa-
tion. One speaker told how she con-
ducts a school for such training. She
teaches her girls to think and devel-
op judgment in regard to the merits
Of goods. The girls are asked, not
do you think this will sell?" but
why do you think this will sell?"
They are made able to explain to
customers why one article is worth
more money than another.
Young people in stores should be-
come able to talk discriminatory
and intelllgently about their goods.
The proprietor is always glad to give
instruction to a willing clerk. Trav-
cling statesmen will talk to any one
in the store who will listen to them.
They know a great deal about pro-
cesses of manufacture and can i'm
part much valuable information.
It seems too bad that so many
young people enter business life
without more definite purposes
There is a chance to rise in every
business. If wages of store clerks
are low, 1t is because so many Of
them put little brains into theil
work. Their heart is elsewhere, al
the picture show or the dance they
expect to attend in the evening.
There is a good opportunity in re
tail trade for ambitious young peo
pie. Merchants will give good pay tt
clerks who develop into good sales
people. The ambitious salesman car
look forward to the day when he
can start his own store, and make il
a success on the basis of experience
gained as an employe. But he will
never get anywhere unless he puts
his heart and his mind into the work.

HOW PEOPLE GET INTO DEBT.

II is surprising how comfortable
some people are in the presence OF a
heavy burden of debt. They take
the easy-going view that some favor
able turn of fortune will appear from
unexpected sources. They let the
creditors do all the worrying. But
to people with normal minds, debt
brings a sense of oppression and Of
ten horror. They feel the ever pres
ent wolf at the door. He seems very
near and very hungry. They slink
around street corners to avoid meet
ing creditor.
The principal cause of debt is fail
ure rightly to calculate and appor-
tion ones income. With most peo-
pie. their expenses for any given OBJ
ject exceed their expectations. II
they think they can run house on
SIS a week, it actually costs them
$40. But meanwhile they have gone
ahead and spent money for other
purposes on the visionary basis Of the
SIS.
This miscalculation, except in
cases Of special misfortune, can be
saved by the simple expedient of
keeping a cash account AT the end
OF the year all expenses should be
carefully classified. No account
should be allowed to exceed what
seems a reasonable appropriation,
This would leave money in the purse
to pay bills, and a man GOULD walk
the streets with a right to hold up
his head.
A general spirit Of debt paying will
do wonders in building up a com
munity. The merchants will not
have to charge so much for their
goods II they can avoid bad accounts
They will feel more confidence to go
ahead and spend money and make

Twenty-Five Years
Ago in Ashland

(Taken from the files of the It'd.
ings of October 16, 1919
S. B. Galley met with an accident
last Monday morning which will
keep him laid up for many weeks.
AS he was mounting his saddle horse
at home the stirrup broke and he
fell in such way as to break his
thigh bone at a point but five inches
above the upper joint. DR.. Songer
reduced the fracture and Mr.. Galey
Is now contemplating the past, pres
ent and future from "the flat of his
back" The bone will in all prob
ability reunite so as to leave no per-
manent bad effects, but it will be
some time before Mr.. Galley will
walk again.

The republicans of Jackson county
this year have nominated tremen-
dously strong legislative delegation
Somehow southern Oregon while ad-
vancing in population and taxable
value, has not kept pace in political
influence in the state, due largely to
divided delegations. This is the year
to make the strike for our proper
place in state influence, and Gore,
Sheldon and Thomas will make as
formidable a team as could be put
in the legislature. Let us send a
solid republican delegation to the
legislature from Jackson county and
get what is justly due this section in
the future.

COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS.

The day has passed when the COM
mercial organization in any part OF
the country has to justify the reason
for its existence and the scope of its
field of work. 1t may be that inef-
ficiency may here and there raise the
question of its usefulness, but none
the less the field exists. 1t is simply
matter of initiative, persistence,
farsightedness, tact, and faculty
for developing cooperation. The de-
velopment of the activities of the
commercial organization promises to
continue to keep pace with the
growth-in the broadest sense of the
word-of the nation at large.
