Col. Ed Sims was here Tuesday
from Martin and tells US he is doing

which fact is accounted for, per-

stuffs, there being a desire to sup

fruits, which is a good idea. Col

Ashland that the modern schools do
not turn out many young people who
are we'll fitted for business life.
Perhaps the trouble is that our
school systems do not offer incentive
enough. Wages earned by store
clerks are not usually high, and the
limited opportunity may not stir the
pupils ambition. If they could be
shown how by better training to
make a bigger success, they would
feel melted to more thorough prepa-
ration.
1t is quite an art to conduct re-
tail store, and young man needs a
thorough training for it. The Hobo
ken, N. j., Board of Trade recently
ran a school of merchandising for
adult merchants and men already in
business. 1t was interesting to see
elderly men studying how to conduct
a store, how to educate the public up
to using the best goods, how to get
people to become regular customers,
etc. The advantages and methods
of advertising we're also taught.
The pupils were shown how on
rush days to wait on two customers
and keep everyone satisfied, where
formerly they had attended to but
one. The dignity of storekeeping and
of the salesman's service were en-
phasized. ANY young man thinking
of entering retail trade would be
benefited by course like that. He
would stand more chance of eventu-
ally getting into business for him
self
Indeed, If men already established
in business need such training, how
much more is it needed by novices!
OF course only cities of considerable
size would probably feel able to con-
duct school like that. Yet the time
is quite likely to come when such
schools will be run by many counties
and by large towns, so that any
young man desiring to enter retail
trade would have such 3 school at
no great distance from home. II re-
tail trade is worth doing, 1t is worth
doing in the most scientific way,
with instruction based upon the prac-
tical experiences Of men who sue
ceeded in II.

TALKING no THE SOLDIERS.

A great many public speakers are
undertaking to deliver addresses to
the soldier boys. There are the chap
lains and ministers and lecturers at
the army camps. There are orators
at patriotic rallies held in the SOL
Siers' home towns. It takes some
tact to hit 1t right with the soldiers,
and some Of our public speakers don't
quite get It.
As nearly as the Tidings can Judge
the temper of the soldiers, they don't
like what they call "do or die" talk.
They don't care to be held up as ex-
smples Of grand self-sacrifice and as
voluntarily giving up their lives for
their country. They are not sure
that they are any more patriotic than
any one else, but feel that they have
simply responded to the command Of
their country, as any decent ann
must or suffer disgrace
A public speaker naturally likes to
express warmer feeling for these
boys than that. But the soldiers
haven't much use for dismal talk or
putting on agony. 1t is help to

which have been made on the indus
try, with no apparent motive other
than to retard this development in
progressive state.
For months the yellow press of
Utah has sought to tear down the
sugar industry under one pretext or
another. Whatever the motive back
Of the attacks, it is apparent that it
is aimed at the welfare Of the state.
The figures indicate that the scheme
made little impression, and this may
be attributed to the fact that poison
fed to body possessing all the vigor
of health which comes for industri-
Gus pursuits meets counteracting ele-
ments.
The money which will be received
by the farmers is but a part of the
benefits brought to Utah by the su-
gar industry. Fifteen factories in
constant operations during the har-
vesting season means another great
benefit to the people of the state, as

rolls of these factories amount to
something.-Salt Lake Herald-Re-

PIG IRON IS STORED
 AWAITING SHIPMENT
Blast Furnace Operations Not Af- fected by Car Situation, Is
 Information

Unless the congestion of freight around the eastern ports and the laying of em- bargoes by the railroads continue indefi- nitely the operations of the Birmingham pig iron furnaces will not be affected by the car situation. This is the in- formation that the men in charge of the iron companies in Birmingham give.
 As fast as the blast furnaces produce their tonnages of pig iron, it is stored in the yards, awaiting shipment For the most part, it has been sold for delivery, as there is very little iron now to be purchased at $26 a ton.
 Some of the plants in Birmingham mak- ing finished products will be confronted soon with the alternative of shutting down, if the railroads do not find some means of supplying cars for shipment to the eastern and New England cities. There is no immediate possibility of shut downs, but unless something is done to relieve the situation, they are frank to admit that they will be faced with this question within two months. The rail- roads are supplying the industrial plants with a goodly proportion of raw materials but equipment, of every nature, IS snort
