Crews Of American Whaling Ships
Work on Basis Of Cooperation,
and Profits Are Divided.

The business principles Of American
whaling are often mentioned as an ex-
celient example of industrial co-opera-
ton. A ship is stocked and equipped
by the owners. and the profits Of the
cruise are distributed In the ratio of
two-thirds to the capital invested and
one-third to labor. No member of the
crew receives wages or a guarantee Of
any sort, but to each is allotted GER
tain share. termed the 'lay." of the
net results. In general. the captains
lay ranges from a fifteenth to an
eighth, according to his whaling rec
ord. The mate and three lower off,
GERS. the four boat-steerers or har-
pooners, the cooper. steward, cook,
carpenter, seamen and green hands re-
ceive proportionate shares, and so
down to the cabin boy. whose lay Is in
the neighborhood Of one two-hun-
dredth, called the long lay" Thus
the profit of each individual depends
upon the success of the cruise. Ships
have sometimes failed to pay for their
fitting out; on the other hand, the On
ward Of New Bedford once returned
with catch worth at the prevailing
prices $685.. 900. Of which the captains
lay was $4,000, and that Of the least
member of the crew about $1,000

BUILDING PROSPERITY
The First Step Necessary Is to
Settle Book Accounts.
County Ought to Make Good Show
Ing During Pay-Up Week-No q
Bill Should Remain Unpaid
After This Period.

Seven state associations Of retail
dealers in different lines Of trade, rep
resenting about one-half Of the total
number Of responsible merchants, are
advising their members to prepare to
follow the definite recommendations of
the federal trade commission for sue
ceSsful and economical merchandising,
and then to concentrate their efforts
on endeavoring to increase the pros
perity Of those who trade with them.
AS the public is interested in having
the best service from the retail dis
tributers, the public is invited to help
start the movement.
y The bankers We're the first consulted
and have offered to do their part. The
women's clubs, civic organizations and
farmers associations are going to help,
too.
AS first step the local dealers set
tie up their outstanding local accounts
with each other and at the same time
with everyone else in town and the ad-
Joining country, including what they
owe to farmers, the lawyer, the doctor,
the newspaper, contractors, mechanics,
etc.
In other words, If the merchants
are to begin with clean balance sheet
at given date they will have to start
passing the money along to reach
everyone they owe on open accounts
and at the same time request others to
pay them, so that all book accounts
can be wiped out-everything settled
up as far out as local trade reaches,
either with cash or with notes.
The fact that all the neighboring
towns and trading places in the coun-
ty and surrounding counties will be
doing the same thing simplifies the
matter, as book accounts which reach
back and forth for some distance into
the country can be settled by the ex-
change of checks or notes which are
good at the bank.
Everyone gains by starting fresh,
ready for the next step, which prom
ises to be even more interesting, for
in addition to making the towns bet
ter trading centers, it will lead up to
subjects for general Improvement
which should interest everyone in this
county.
1t is understood that an effort will
be made to find how completely all the
communities in the state will succeed
In cleaning up their open accounts.
There is no apparent reason why the
people in this county cannot make as
good a showing as any county in the
State.
Modern business methods and secur-
ing wholesale cash discounts make it
possible to keep good stocks of mer-
chandise and sell at lower prices. This
benefits everyone and the local patron
age should go to the business houses
which display the. campaign slogan.
"Tll pay my bills so you can pay yours"
and cooperate with enthusiasm.
So hurrah for Pay-Up week!

AN ANCIENT SYSTEM

A hundred years ago money was
scarce. Banks were scarce. Wealthy
neighbors, there were none. There
was no parcel post. There were no
magazines, few books, no catalogues,
no national advertising campaigns.
Storekeepers had to be bankers, ac-
commOdate customers who had no
money till crops matured, extend credit
and add the cost to the price of goods.
Times have changed. Conditions Of
merchandising have changed even
more than conditions Of farming, and
not one thing is now done on the we'll
managed farm as it was done 20 years
ago. Even bossy eats silage or chop
while compressed air does the milking.
Merchants have no source of profit
except quick turns of their stock of
goods. If the stock is stopped by ell
ther friendship or enmity and quick
losses and tradesmen find 1t increas-
ingly hard to make decent living out
Of their service to their friends and
neighbors.
Square up every outstanding ac-
count. Money lending institutions can
sell the use Of money far cheaper than
merchants can sell the use of their
stocks. Cut every string that holds
back the stream of prosperity. Get
away from the ancient system that has
hurt more than ninety out of every
hundred men who have started in COM
mercial enterprises.
