any OF his products which he has
not managed 10 sell by other means.
The department Of agriculture
has detailed farm advisers TO assist
the farmers in the development OF
their work. The plan is that each
OF the farm advisers should. by tele-
phone or other means. learn from
the individual farmer on the recla-
nation project just what products
or farm machinery he has on hand
and wishes to dispose OF. These items
are then listed whether they be in
terms OF boxes OF apples, registered
hogs or pieces Of farm machinery
which have been replaced by other
equipment Each farmer is expect
ed TO make returns once a month,
and the monthly lists are posted at
reclamation service headquarters for
the information of each man on the
project.
The farmers clearing house plan
is based on the idea that lit pays
TO advertise" but, inasmuCh as the
projects, in most cases. do not have
local newspaper mediums, with their
for sale columns. il is necessary that
the articles which are offered as
bargains be listed at some central
place, so that farmers may learn Of
the opportunities TO make a pur-
chase at home and to save money
The plan o. picking farm advisers
on all the projects will be pushed as
quickly as the department of agri-
culture can obtain satisfactory men
to fill these important positions. The
farmers clearing house will be in
charge Of these farm advisers, and
IL is believed by officials of both the
department Of agriculture and the
department of the interior that the
assistance given farmers in selling
their surplus products and unused
pieces of machinery will bring about
better feeling between the men on
all the projects, and in the end will
save them many thousands Of dol
lars.

SPEAKING OF TAGGART.
Indianapolis Starr

Although Mr.. Taggart has been
influential in democratic councils
here and over the nation for many
years, he stands today at the sum-
nit Of his power and at the head
Of a party more tremendously unit
ed than ever before. For this re-
suit there are two causes.
First. there is his attractive per
sOnality. Like many other success
full politicians, Mr. Taggart has
built up his following by virtue OF
absolute good faith. When ne gives
his word, he keeps it and nobody
ever has to worry about the redemp-
ton of his promises.
The other source Of Mr.. Taggart' s
success in late years is the bitter
and unfair war that has been made
upon him for no reason whatever
except his independence OF spirit.
Persecution has only reacted in his
favor and pushed him on TO greater
popularity and power
Coming up from obscurity, Sen.
Taggart has won his own way
through industry, integrity and
fidelity. Few men are so trusted.
so loved. so admired Even now
he accepts his nomination for sen
atOr against his desires and his bus
mess needs. He makes a sacrifice
at the insistent demands Of mis-

the platform and the candidate of
the democratic party. Their oppo-

hoped and expected to win by de-
fault merely as a result Of the I'M
popularity OF the administration or
Of division within the democratic
party: but of late the probability of
so winning has become increasingly
remote. The democrats are becom-
ing more popular and more united.
The republicans need an agrees

and at present they see no way
Of getting what they need without
paying a dangerously high price for
it. The candidate and the issue
which will contrast them most
sharply with the democrats is the
candidate and the issue which may
divide them most completely one

to choose between an aggressive

lUCCESSFUL merchan-

| AZ 10 llOU 0lAOQIU W. Gull
|M\ merchandise for which
~ there is any demand, if
- it is offered at a lower
price than that asked by others.
The Offering of goods at cut prices
does not require any higher order
of intelligence, and consequently
does not call for real statesmen.
By real salesmen l mean those who
are gifted with sufficient intel
lect, tact, vim and selling power
to bring out all that is best in the
line of argu ment needed to make
sales and to leave out any state
ment that would have a contrary
effect.
You will find every day and ev-
erywhere merchants and manufac-
turers boasting of their immense
sales and of the tremendous amount
of work they have performed in
disposing of their stock of mer-
chandise, when perhaps the entire
cause of their success was due to
the fact that they offered the COM
modities at prices that left little. if
any, profit after the actual ex-
penses, including those of making
the sales, had been deducted.
Successful salesmanship, the
kind that builds up a permanent
business, consists of selling mer-
chandise at proft--a profit large
enough to cover not only the ac-
tual expense of producing and
selling and the necessary overhead
cost, but also yielding such profit
as to enable the concern to declare
satisfactory dividends every year.
Some statesmen are so naturally
gifted that they can obtain a price
worth while for the product they
are Offering, while others seem to
have no idea of salesmanship other
than that of offering the article to
be sold at a lower price than that
of their competitors.
The personality of the salesman
himself, undoubtedly, has much to
do with getting the price from the
purchaser. A sales talk can be
made by a real salesman that will
convince the buyer that he is get
ting his full moneys worth and
that he would make a mistake in
endeavoring to buy bargain
goods" Of course the merchan-
disc offered must have real valoe
and must be sold at a fair price.
But only too frequently the reason
a sale is not made lies with the
half hearted salesman.
Anything that has merit can be
sold at price yielding a fair profit
if it is properly represented by the
salesman. Goods that are known,
merchandise that has been tried
and not found wanting, commodi-
ties that have been brought before
the people by efficient publicity
can be disposed of more easily at
the prices demanded than merchan-
disc which is unknown, but even
with the latter handicap profitable
sale can be made by the right
salesman.
Salesmanship is the biggest in
fuence on life today! But for
salesmanship we would still be
living in caves, getting wife by
brute force, and changing our suit
of leaves every spring and fall.
1t is salesmanship that has made
possible the high standard of liv.
ing which we have today. 1t is
salesmanship that has given us our
education. In fact, salesmanship
in one form or another is respon-
sible for all our being, with the
exception of birth and death; and
even birth may be called an ante.
