"A merchant has no more, right to lie in an advertisement that to lie to a customer face to face or to cheat in any other way. If a man is a cheat in his advertising his whole business will be honeycombed. with fraud and lies-you can't get away from that That's one of the big ideas behind the Neosho Plan. and we practice it. It isn't just theory with us. We've been doing it for ten years in this town"
 You don't mean to say you see your competitors advertisements be- fore they are printed?' asked Quarles
 See Competitors Ads.
 We certainly do--that is. his ad- vertisements for sales days. which are held the first Monday in eacL month throughout the year
 T don't believe we could put tha. over in Clarksville," said Quarles, shaking his head; and the other mem hers of the delegation laughed as they thought how certain rival merchants had been throwing mud at one another for .nany years in their advertising.
 One of our great troubles in Clarksville is that the business men won't pull together" said Bailey. We have five different clubs there a Commercial Club, a Boosters Club, a Community Club, and so on-and all pulling at cross purposes. How many clubs have you here?"
 Only one," answered McGmty We used to have here the same conditions that the majority of country towns have; merchants jealous of one another. slurring and fighting and ac- cusing each other in their daily talk and advertisements; clearance and cut-rate and cut-throat sales all the time, and their advertisements filled with so much exaggeration and down right lies that nobody believed them. When the Old System Died.
 One day. ten years ago, G. R. Lowe, advertising manager of the nurseries ; company, came to us with this new idea: That the business men of the town give up mud slinging and e~ag geration. get together and be friendly with one another and truthful and honest and fair with one another and with our customers-and that meant. of course, absolute truthfulness in all our advertising. Twelve of US agreed to 1t and went together in an organi- zation We called The Neosho Adv"r- Using Club. Eleven of those original twelve charter members are still ac- tive members of the club, the twelfth having moved away. and our nearly one hundred members include practi- cally very business and professional man In town"
 In one of the stores of Neosho that day the men from Clarksville heard a farmer ask for a certain article. and the storekeeper said:
 T am all out of that, but they have them over at Prices"
 Do all the storekeepers of Neosho do that way?" they asked.

 They do," answered McGinty. T remember case here of new mar

I don't carry the same brand of shoe myself, but I have one just as good that sell for s325."
 Guess I'll go ovef and buy pair, then"
 eff you need work shoes you'll never be able to beat that price. It's bar gain," said McGinty. and the farmer and his wife went out.
 You're deliberately feeding busi- ness to your competitors store," said one of the Clarksville merchants.
 Why not? Snyder has advertised those shoes at bargain price. He is entitled to that mans trade. Now am advertising for today mems sum mer underwear, regular price one dol lar, for thirty-fve cents. If man asks Snyder today if he can match my price, Snyder will tell him No He'll tell him that he gets one dollar for that quality underwear, and that mine at thirty-five cents is the greatest bargain he ever knew; and he'll advise him to come over here and buy It's that way all round the square. All the merchants in Neosho are truthful in their advertisements and truthful in their statements of one another"
 "In our town said William Quarles, ,s val shoe dealer would tell the farmer that the $280 shoe of his competitor had paper soles, paper heels and coun- ters, and splitle ather tops re-enforced with paper; and he'd try to sell him the same shoe for $325 or whatever the regular price was "Yes," said McGinty, it used to be that way here. before we adopted the Neosho Plan; but, let me ask you, has a storekeeper right to lie about his own merchandie or about his com petitor or his competitors mrchan- disc? Isn't it just as wrong to tell lies in your store as to tell lies in your home? Isn't it just as bad and mean and despicable to be store liar as to be a home liar or church liar? Nearly every storekeeper Is a mem- Der of a church. and he would scorn to tell lie at home or in church or in the social circles in which he moves In those places he is a man of honor and intergrity, but in too many cases he feels that he is justified in telling falsehoods in his business and in his advertising.
 Hypocrisy Gets the Count.
 "He practices the Golden Rule only on Sundays: and when be hangs his Sunday go-to-meeting clothes in the closet Sunday night and closes the door, he shuts the door on the Golden Rule. too. and with his weekday clothes he puts on false-face atti- tude toward his customers on Monday morning. A man will go to church on Sunday morning and pass the col- lection plate and look as solemn and sanctimonious as a treeful of owls, and Monday morning he will sit down and write an advertisement that is as full of deceit and humbug as an egg Is of meat. If honesty and truth are good things on Sunday they ought to be good on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes- day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Tho "ueosho Plan" That
 Brought Prosperity There

Why, surely it is" she said, and they both looked inquiringly at the clerk.
 Yes" he said, that is the same overall--sanle make, brand and alL' "You don't expect me to pay you fifty cents more for the same. thing, do you."
 "No sir; do not. You should buy everalls today from that store. You will lose fifty cents if you buy from uS."
 The Clarksville merchants could hardly believe their eyes and ears. A merchant with the visiting delegation exclaimed:
 '1 never would boost competitor like that. That's driving business away from the store"
 What would you do?' asked the clerk.
 I'd tell them my competitors over all was shoddy imitation
 Oaly Truth About Competitors.
 We'll" said the clerk, with a smile under the Neosho Plan we must never state an untruth about competitor or the goods he sells
 A little later the visitors from Clarksville were in the store of the Briggs Hardware Company, and far mer came in and asked:
 MT. Briggs, are those tires that Kerr is selling today actually three dollars cheaper than you sell them?"
 Yes, that's fact returned Briggs Same tire?'
 Yep, same tire
 And three dollars cheaper"
 Yeah, three dollars cheaper
 Moulin wrong with 'em?'
 Not thing in the world"
 Then I guess I'd peter buy pair and save six dollars, hey?"
 "Yes, that's the thing for you to do"
 10 rather buy rom you, br1ggS, 1T you'll sell at the same price,"
 No. you better buy from Kerr to- day; 1 don't believe I'll ever sell that tire as low as that"
 Is This Heaven We're InY'
 Wee whillikens! Did you ever hear the like of it?' exclaimed one of the visitors "Is this heaven we're in. Let u,e pinch myself and see if I'm on earth"
 Nothing strange about it at all,'' said Briggs. It is just the Golden Rule side of the Neosho Plan working out, that's all.'
 Well, I'd like to see g. farmer come into my store fin Clarksille and get away like that I'd tell him that tire of my competitors was made of old rubber junk"
 In McGintys store the delegation from Clarksville heard farmer ask if the work shoes advertised by Sny- der for $280 a pair were bargain. "Yes, indeed" McGinty told him. Those shoes cost Snyder $2.7e pair. I know, because helped him fix up his advertisement and I saw the shoe.

 of those Clarksville folks bulge out
 when they saw what a welcome those l fifteen or twenty farmers gave us. ' said McGinty. describing it afterward.
 On the way back to town William
 Bailey the. Clarksville banker, said to McGinty: "I noticed that you never mentioned business at his meeting, Sixty merchants in one bunch and not talk shop; that's phenomenal"
 And Business is Taboo. We never do." answered McGinty. One of our rules is that at these far mers meetings business must not be mentioned. We come out here to get acquainted with the farmers, to show them that we are combined in a club not to raise prices or to gouge them in any way. but that one of our chief purposes is to work to help them and that they and We are members of the same community"
 Early in each October for the last five years the club has managed a Harvest. Show, The streets on three sides of the town square are divided into booths and roofed with canvass. and in these the exhibits from the farms are placed. The streets on the other side of the square is used for thu judging of livestock by the state bos I'd of agriculture Farmers and theilt wives from two counties exhibit at this show, there is long list of awards and members of the state board of agriculture say it is "the most ben eficial fair in the state"
 "The only trouble we have is that our town, with only $500 population, is not large ell sough to take care of the crowds that come to this Harvest Show" said McGinty.
 In the latter part of August last McGinty received a letter. rom William Quarles, of Clarksville, which read: T

Mrs. McCdrter
Kicks on GiDing
Age, Can t Vote

Mrs. w. A McCarter, widely
known Topeka author and woman's
club leader. is not eligible to vote at
the primary in August. The reason
is because she refused to tell her
age to the registration clerk at the
city hall, according to one. of the
Clerks
Mrs. McCarter has for years been
ActiSe IN suffrage werk and recently
addressed the Republican national
convention in Chicago, the first
woman to speak before a national
convention But the state law re-
quiring everyone who. registers to
tell their age to the registration
clerk proved a barrier in Mrs. Nc
Carter's mind. The woman who ac-
companied her gave her age and
was registerd, but the suffrage
leader walked away minus the cleo
toral qualifications for which Amer
lean women have been fighting SO
long.
Mrs. sMcCarter will not get to cast
her baffot unless she changes her
mind by July %.
