NcLACRIN AGREES TO RETAIN

sion after they had taken action upon
his contemplated resignation, that ne
would comply with their request and

The committee adopted the follow

That it is our candid judgment tha-
the real producers of cotton, the pat

the friends of scientific marketing,
commend the administration of this
office by Mr.. McLaurin, and that they
desire that he continue to discharge

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM SOLDIER BOY

Mr.. C. NJ. Dennis, member OF
Machine Gun company, ist S. &. in
fantry, dated at Camp Stewart, Fort
Bliss, Texas, September %, 1916,
writes letter to his mother, Mrs. 2.
NJ. Dennis, which is interesting enough
to print here in full, as follows:
We have just arrived in carn3 from
the largest parade since 1863. There
were $4,000 troops present, iaciuding
cavalry, artillery, machine gun COM
pany, infantry and supply trucss-500
supply trucks-which made a train Of
about three miles. The parade was
20 miles long.
The troops were loaded in trucks
and transported to El Paso and te!i
into line beginning at Texas str ct.
We marched down Texas street ana
then up Montana street. We met the
last of the column at Ft. Bliss just
leaving Fort Bliss 10 miles from the
city. The troops were reviewed at
the Fort. WE arrived at the fort at
1870 .. M, and were halted on the
plains. The parade was completed at
S O'Clock and as far as you could see
there we're soldiers. Such a thing
has never happened neither in Fort
Bliss nor Ell Paso in all of their mill
tary career.
We went in our macf L., gun trucks
of course and met with much approve
ment by the reviewing officers. The
trucks are an experiment, the other
guns are on pack mules.
The ladies of the city treated US
dne. They gave us water as we pass
ed, they had bowls full OF ice water
and gave it to us poor thirsty SOL
diers. They must appreciate our be-
ing here, I believe.
This 20 mile hike was awful tire
some but it was worth it to be in sucn
a parade.
have taken Kodak pictures OF ouf
machine guns in action and OF the
Rio Grande at the international
bridge and some ruins of the bandits

This crossing the border is very
dangerous. ou have to get rid Oh
everything that belongs to United

WHERE YOU BUY
The Salespeople
By Frederic ]. Haskin

NHE salesman, meaning also the
saleswoman, is more and more
the deciding factor in success or
failure of a retail store. He is no long
er mere automaton who hands out
goods and makes change, but is the
real personality of the business. His
calling is. being hailed as the fourth
profession; university courses in sales
manship are being established, and
theer is quite a mass of literature on
the subject.
This great Importance of the mod
ern salesman may seem q trifle illus
ory to the clerk who. is trying to live
on 81 week. 1t is true that the re-
wards of craftsmanship are not high.
They run from SO to $40 a week; the
great majority of the profession gets
less than $40, and few of them ever
achieve a salary of more than SIS.
But the conditions of their calling are
steadily improving. BY national ad-
vertising and the wide distribution
and Standardization of products, the
prices and profits of the retail busi-
ness are rapidly becoming uniform.
All of the stores have goods of about
the same quality for the same price.
Hence the service rendered a custo-
mer by the salesman has come to be
the deciding factor in success. 1t
follows with logical certainty that
the salesman must become a more
efficient and better paid individual.
and there is already a strong upward
trend both in efficiency and salaries.
Scientific management is just begin

ming to be applied to the retail busi-
ness as 1t has been used in factories
ior years, and 1t is being directed al
most wholly to raising the efficiency
OF the salesman and putting his paw
on logical basis. The larger stores
of the country are now giving exami-
nations TO. test the ability of their
prospective employees, are holding
classes and lectures to train them, and
are testing the amount of work each
can do in day in order to pay him
exactly what his efficiency and the
profits of the business permit.
Schools and colleges are aiding big
stores in their efforts to obtain train
ed employees. Not only public schools

TO-DAY'S EDITORIALS

Philadelphia Press: Mr.. Wilson as
the Democratic nominee will have
many things to answer for, among
which is the prostration of American
industry which his tariff law began
and the European war interrupted.
That he smashed and repudiated a
portion of a Democratic platform is a
matter on which the people generally
will not be disposed to call him to
severe account.
Philadelphia Record: 1t does not
matter greatly whether our navy is the
second, third or fourth in rank among
the worlds naval powers. What is of
importance is that our navy be strong
enough to meet every emergency that
could reasonably be anticipated. If a
navy of the second rank will not an
swer the purpose, then we shall have
to outrank every other naval power on
earth and stand first. If a smaller
fleet would serve, however, it should
not greatly distress us If two or three
or even more navies should be bigger
than that of the United States. What
perils await us is q question to be
answered by far-sighted statesmen.
What naval power would be required
to ward or or meet these perils must
be determined by naval experts. This
concern over our rank as naval
power is childish.
New York World: The arrival of
the Adriatic with only twenty-eigh
passengers in the steerage brings to
notice again the fact that the war has
shut off New York's chief sources of
household help. No more young girls
of Germany or Britain come knock
ing at the kitchen doors. They are
doing mems work for mems pay at
home.

WHAT HE KNOWS

hdnSdo SiNS
Travel is an education in itself. Mr.
Henry Ford. who has just returned
from hurried trip to Europe. learned
something there about the war. II
cost him a large sum of money to
learn 1t, but it is worth the price. and
IL the American people can learn the
some lesson vicariously through Mr.
Ford's experience the peace ship expe-
dition may be accepted as a great sue
cess.
Mr.. Ford learned. according to a
statement made by him in New York
yesterday. that the war was not
brought on by the bankers and manu-
facturers of munitions and armaments.
as he had believed when he left
America. Now If Mr.. Ford will put the
Inuffler on his press bureau which has
been sending out what he now knows
to be misinformation about prepared
ness the country will be benefited
Specifically, the misstatement of fact
being circulated by his peace agents
is that one in which preparedness is
denounced as a campaign of cooked
up enthusiasm now being conducted
throughout the country by the mu-
nitlons interests"

and wide as one of the progressive
cities of the country and this news
paper has sought in every way to re-
fleet the spirit of the people. their
hopes and aspirations. and to guide,
so far as 1t is possible for newspaper
to act as mentor. the destinies of the
charging community.
To-day--at the beginning ofits eighty
sixth year-the Telegraph pledges its
best efforts for the growth and pros
perity and happiness OF all the people.
1t has seen much of transition and
transformation during the long period
of its existence and with optimism
born of confidence in the people 1t
looks forward to even greater things
for Harrisburg than were even dreamed
of in its earlier days. Thrice during
these eighty-five years the country has
been at war, but out of these struggles
the republic has emerged stronger
than ever before, and the very dangers
which now menace the United States
from beyond the seas are likely to bind
us together more closely than in the
past.
For generations many families have
been receiving the Telegraph into their
homes and the children's children con-
tinue to welcome this newspaper as a
friend of the family. This good will is
an inspiration to still greater effort
and we want the ever-enlarging army
of readers to realize how greatly is this
friendly attitude toward the Telegraph
appreciated in every department of
the newspaper.
We face the future with confidence
confidence in the character and in
dustry and public spirit of our citi-
zenry; confidence in the integrity of
our institutions and confidence in the
ability of our people to work out the
problems which must be solved for the
good of all.
