Retail Merchants Represent
35 Branches of Local Trade
Association Giving Booster Trips Has Provided Model for
800 Other Commercial Societies Throughout Country to
Copy From in Zeal and Cooperative Spirit

Never before in the history Of the Ma
tional Capital has such a vital force
come into being in the interest Of the
merchants of Washington as the Retail
Merchants Association.
This organization. four years ago, was
the forerunner OF the development in
such lines Of constructive community en-
deavor, which has been patterned after
by over 800 cities in this country, and
their number Is growing almost monthly.
The association stands always on the
principle OF q fair deal to all. Ever zeal
Gus In the promotion of its members in
terest, 1t Is also mindful that its per-
petuation and that OF the firms compos-
ing its membership demand that It ex-
emplify the Golden Rule in all It's acts.
Represents 35 Lines of Trade.
Therefore. the association-represent-
ing, as It does, thirty-ive different lines
Of trade in the National Capital, interests
both mammoth and young-is particularly
qualified to successfully play the role Of
spokesman, umpire and arbiter.
1t is called on to perform these func-
tions in connection with trade abuses,

policy There is nothing best about it;
honesty is the only policy. No one knows
whether a man Is honest but himself.
The salesman must have ability. Most
men I have met have two arms two legs,
two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth
and, considering their height, they weigh
about the same. What is the difference
In men? Power! Ability! Some men
may have that developed more than
others. but I say that nine-tenths, yes
ninety-nine hundredths, could develop
ability.
The salesman must have initiative.
1t has been my experience that there
are but three kinds of men in the
world-the kind you have to tell once
to do thing. and you can bet your
life 1t will be done. the second is
the kind you have to tell three or
four times to do It because they do
not think; and the third kind is that
great, business-producing creative lot
OF men who don't have to be told at
all, They are initiative. They know
what to do and they go ahead and
do it,
The salesman must have a knowl-
edge OF business. I have always no.

In Defense of the Goose.

We sometimes refer to the goose as a
stupid fowl by way Of comparison with
some silly ones of the human race When
we do so we pay the goose no compli-
ment, because geese. speaking OF them
collectively, in many ways are much
keener Intellectually than men. Let us
take up the case of the wild goose, for
example. He and his flock know enough
to pull up stakes and pike of to a warmer
climate the moment coal goes up, and to
return with the first Strawberries and
cream OF the season. They are better
drilled than our idolized West Point
cadets and are free of all the ills that
man is heir to. nor do they overtax them
selves with useless cares. They are bet
ter versed In geography. astronomy. gas
tronomy. and the art OF self-presenvaton-
With these superior endowments the
goose cannot be called fooL-Zim, in

The Association is unalterably op-

Vertical Sundial Curiosity

Miami, Fla. there Is a large vertical sun-

corner folk as a town clock. Like any
similar indicator, which has been prop

its appearance Is commonplace to those
who reside in sunny regions where such
instruments are much used, this sundial

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-05-06

Recently a descriptive chart was
discovered which gives the true To-
cation of strawberry patch. The
chart is written up in true pirate
form and the paper on which it is
written is turning brown with age.
1t was accidentally discovered by
some boys who were Investigating
the contents of an old chest. The
general cor fusion is that 1t was
drawn up by boy pirate or by a
boy who played pirate after school
hours. The description reads as
follows:
Strawberries will be found west
of the west end of the G. 6 o..
tfestle on a large hill. 1t is east
of the side track to the Starr Piano
factory" This description is writ
ten at the top of detailed chart
that has measurements marked by
foot steps. 1t is because the meas
urements are told in the number
of steps that the conclusion about
pirates has been drawn. Who
would measure in steps except
pirates? Pirates of course would
measure in no other way.
Write on Big Chart.
The writing on the chart is done
in a disguised style. Most Of 1t
has been printed. The spelling is
bad, which is of course another
proof Of pirates. 1t is not written
in blood but it seems to have been
done with the stain from some
berry 1t looks like the Ink that
is used in typewriter ribbons, but
of course it isn't, because pirates
know nothing about typewriters.

built it for protection against the
Indians and had it not been for the
sufferings and many hardships we
would not be able to enjoy many of
the things which we do today.
Although these people never had
to 60 into this fort we should mark
this spot to remember them by. 1t
was also the first building along
this line built in Greene township,
because these early settlers thought
it a necessity.
Today we cannot but admire the
beautiful homes and farms of the
people OF Greene township, but
glancing back through the past
hundred .ears W. cannot but see
behind 1t all the many hardships
and privations these early sttlers
had to contend with.
The Old Fort itself is an excel
lent example Of a mile stone which
marks the progress Of Greene town
ship as well as Wayne County in
the past century.
For this reason alone 1t is worthy
Of q mark from the hand of Wayne
County's citizens.

PETS LOSE JOBS

Girls and boys will soon see the
passing away Of the fire horses
For many years they have been
thrilled by the fiery animals as
they dashed down the, streets on
their way to fire. The horses are
great pets of the children who live
near the fire stations.
Soon auto fire trucks will take
the place of the horse drawn vehi-
cles. Although the city council
voted against the motorization of
the department, it is expected that
the members will order motor
trucks at the next meeting.

work of prying the rear wheels out
of the mire. Mr., Reid enjoyed the
