which ne bought averaged about $4,000
each. IT is very easy to figure that tho
influence Of these Sires added at least
$1,000 per head on each calf Figuring
that each sire would get forty calves in
n year, you have the price Of the sire in
the first year $ crop of calves, with 10
least three or four more years Of active
service The fact that the sire is half
the herd is so well known by breeders
that j seems strange that farmers win
go on year after year putting scrub
slres with their herds and flocks. The
most expensive fire whicn anybody
could put at the head OF his herd is tho
scrub--the cheaper you buy, the more
expensive he is to you. IL is going to
be only short time until the legis-
lature passes n law which will provide
puTe-bred sires for all livestock. The
men who keeps scrub sires on his place
should be looked upon by mis- neiguborB
as being AS much Of q menace as tho
man who has pack of worthless dogs
around his dooryard. No sane farmer
would think of buying a farm implO
ment which was only % PER cent eff
cient, whereas the majority of them
still persists in using scrub sires which
are less efficient than that. On top OF

Dayton, o., April l.-(Special to The
Capital JournaD D-John II. Patterson,
president and general manager of the
ational Cash Register Company, is the
"star" in a very clever six-act bust
ness play now being produced before
audiences Of statesmen.
This play, "The Evolution of
St1re," is the latest plan of the Ma
tional Cash Register Company for the
instruction of its large force in new
selling methods. But the most striking
feature of it is, of course, the appear
ance of President Patterson as the
"star"
The president is noted for his orig
inality Of method in all things, more
especially in developing selling talent.
He founded the first "schoop' for sales,
men, and he has made "teaching by
the eye" an axiom of business train
ing.
In every n. C. R. conference, his
"chalk talksp are a feature These con
sist of rough sketches, hastily drawn
by the president in black and colored
crayon, to drive home various points
brought out. Throughout the cash reg
lister plant, you will find large paper
tablets on easels and an abundance of
crayons, and "chalk talk" is just as
likely in the shops as in the conference
rooms. The president is also a strong
advocate of moving pictures.
In the staging of "The Evolution of
Store" he has resOrted to dramatics
as an effective means of impressing, as
well as interesting his hearers. The
play is based ON the troubles of a
storekeeper. Mr.. Patterson takes the
part of the cash register agent, and
when the play had its severest try.out
here recently, at the National Cash
Register plant, he occupied the stage
for total of three hours.
More remarkable--hi f1ines" were
entirely impromptu, and he gave a mas
terly demonstration of modern sales
manship.
