Intensive Retail SELLING.

Blake had just dropped into q PROM
inent clothier's and haberdasher's to
BUY q few crayats. He completed his
purchase. and as he approached the
door a man accosted him, remarkinx
with a pleasant smile: -
Il see you've just been buying some
tics. They're holding a sale today of
Gotham shirts with full 36-inch. sleeve
length. There they are, right over at
that counter"
Blake looked in the direction indi.
Gated. Conspicuously displayed was
an assortment of shirts with the pre-
vious and present prices prominently
featured. He was interested. The fact
that his arms were longer than the
average meant that ordinarily he
found difficulty in securing shirts the
sleeves of which would fit him. He
walked over to the counter. inspected
the line and finally invested in a half
dozen shirts.
As he once more started to leave he
thanked his informant and remarked:
Il note that you're wearing a hat. Are
YOU a. customer or one Of the, stores
Staff"
I'm the assistant manager" was
the reply. But l wear a hat because
a suggestion from one who may be an
outsider carries more weight thar
from a member of the Organisation.
I'm working on a theory which Is
yielding splendid results. I am trying
to sell the individual, not the sex-and
it works.
Take your case, for instance. You
are more than six feet In height,
noted instantly that you must have
trouble in securing shirts with suffi-
GENTLY long. sleeves. The moment, 7

torcepted another customer who. was

II you've seen the ties on sale today?
They're particularly strong on blues.
And that is perhaps the color which
would be Of especial interest to a man
of your coloring." r.
The customer. a blond with blue
eyes. looked surprised but stopped to
inspect the ties and finally purchased

You see how it works. said the
speaker. resuming his interrupted con-
versation. IT'S a case OF sizing up

NOT A KEPT PRESS"

The Missoulians readers have. we
hope. found profit in the letters from
editors of the Montana newspapers in
reply to Miss Rankin's charge that the
press belongs to the copper company.
Just as our representative would re-
sent a reflection on her personal char
acter SO these editors resent the
slanderous charge that they are lot
Of Uncle Toms who are sold down
the river by Il big man with a black
snake whip sitting in the top story of
a tall office building and surrounded
by obsequious flunkies.
1t is needless to say that Montana
editors are not built on such lines.
The libel is without truth. but since
it was widely circulated in the eastern
newspapers we thought it worth while
TO get the other side. Absurd as it is
to those who know it may go for the
truth where ignorance prevails. We
hope that the publicity of the letters
which the editors have been kind
enough to send may act as a backfire
to the blaze that Miss Rankin started.
Also we hope that hereafter Miss
Rankin will be more careful of speech.
The smart newspaper reporters of the
big cities are heartcss folk. The
writing of a victim after q STORY has
been secured means nothing to them.
They go smilingly on to prepare the
next innocent for torture. Miss Rankin
must beware of them.

twined and lin broad day light" at

offended at the idea that, our main

fond couples to their surroundings.
But sometimes we don't have to ask
whether the affair Is laughable or not
its apparent. 1t was dusk and the
down Higgins avenue behind three
people. It was a question whether to
call the little tableau that was being
presented before us, :Tow Is Com
Three's a Crowd" or 1.-THE Eternal
Triangle" The man in the case was
"sandwiched" between two women,
one OF whom was talking animatedly
with him. seeming to monopolize his
entire attention. Did the second wom-
an feel slightly "out Of it" that she was
being overlooked by the nice looking
young man? She was walking with
her head dropping a little, but there
was an inscrutible smile Of knowing
and happiness lowering about her
mouth.
"Oh. lookit!" giggled a little girl who
was walking behind them. to her COM
panion.
The young mans head was turned
attentively to his talllative companion
who was beaming her appreciation of
his evident appreciation Of her. The
silent girl was walking with head still
dropping and her cheeks pink. But

glance of the talkative one could not

the silent girl were tightly clasped.
Sergeant Dawson looked longingly
at the new fishing pole hanging on the
wall then turned and scowled darkly
at Private Tompkins who was labori-
ously and painstakingly copying en-
listment blanks. AS Private Tomp- J

more he grumbled the harder Sergeant
Dawson looked at the fishing pole. O.
"Tompkins.' he said. II sure like to
get recruits for our Uncle Sammy's
army. but that new fishing pole has
been hanging on that same spot on the
wall for five months and nary a chance
have l had to go fishing"

snortcd contemptuously.

fishing with a Hindenburg line and a

to the flag ON the table. "See that
grand old flag" he asked. THAT is

Sergeant Dawson sighed. $50 it is

Then he bravely hung the flag over
the fishing pole.

TIE MORNING SMILE,

Lord Buxton. the governor general of
South Africa, is an ardent disciple of
lzaak Walton, and he tells many good
fishing yarns.
One of his faNorites is about an
angler who one day had four hours
tussle with u huge salmon before he
was able to land it. When at last he
had made sure of his catch he took
1t home to his maiden aunt. OF course
like all fishermen, he laid special
stress on the time it took and the i'm
mense energy he had to eXpend before
he could bring the salmon safely to
land.
When he had finished he waited
anXiously for the praise due to his
cleverness and heroism. For some mo-
ments there was silence. and then his
aunt looked up from her knitting with
"a puzzled expression on her face.
But. my dear Tom," she said quiet
