The missionary work of bond selling
is extremely difficult and extremely inn
portant. The most successful statesmen
or women develop their own clientele
after arluous weeks and months of
what often seems like unproductive
effort. 1t is not easy to enter the
office of a busy man. sit by his desk,
and, in the few minutes allotted to
you. convince him that the invest
ment securities handled by your
house will meet his requirements. The
saleswoman must have large fund of
technical knowledge as her mental back
ground. She must be thoroughly con-
vinced that the goods she offers are
particular client. and she must be free
from all self-consciousness in making
her offering.
Preparation Necessary.
While do not regard college educa-
ton or it's equivalent necessary. / do
believe that all things being equal, the
college woman will be at a much greater
technical information concerning bonds.
A woman who has q liking for mathe-
matics, economics, and who has an in
terest in all civic problems will probably
be interested in the study of investment
securities. If psychology is added to

successful bond saleswomanship.
Generally speaking, selling offers
larger financial rewards than. almost
any other line of business. 1t Is natural
that this should be so. The business
producer has actual facts to prove her
own value to her firm. During the first,
six months it is probable, however. that
most bond statesmen do not earn their
overhead expenses. These early months
are given to developing clientele and

sales men or women are worth. The
compensation after this period will bear
a direct relation to the business pro-
duced "A number Of brilliant statesmen
in good markets frequently earn as

SPORT CLOTHES.

A woman had far better take thought
of when and where to wear sport
clothes than of the ingenuities of
their making. She errs often in this
scheme.
Outside of the great centers, women
in this country are prone to be lazy
about the formalities of costumery in
the afternoon. The majority neglect
the change into the proper frock and
hat that an afternoon function de-
mands. They like the in{ormality of
the separate skirt and colored sweat
er. the soft hat and the fat-heeIed
shoes. These are not permissible for
the city streets, yet they are worn
there time and time again by women
in smaller towns.
: They have taken the place Of the
wrapper in the average American
household. Instead Of the neglige,
our women slip into the three-piec
costume in. the morning hours. They
give out the meals, attend to the SER
wants or do their own houseworkiin
the costume. intended for the country
club.
It is not only wrong. It is expensive.
That's the rub. Why women should
waste wash shirtwaists in so lavish a
manner-wearing them in the house
where the soil and dust send them to
the laundry speedily-is one Of the
perplexities of modern life.

WHAT MAKES FLAVOR?

Variety in flavor is a decided stimu-

this 1t is not necessary to have great
variety in the foods you use. Much
can be gained by judicious and in
telligent use of seasoning But even
more can be gained if you know how
to vary flavor through varying your

Rusty hid every nut he found in the
leaves or ground. No. sir. he wouldn't
believe that. There must be a store
house somewhere, and he would flnd
it. Why didn't Rusty come back
there? He had had plenty of time to
go over to the big hickory tree and
return to bury another fat nut. 1t
must be that he was taking those
nuts somewhere else. Chatterer hur-
ried back through the treetops to the
hiding place from which he had first
watched Rusty. Sure enough. there
was Rusty going in quite another
direction.

Chatterer, and brought out fine fat
hickory nut. 1t had been buried just
beneath the surface of the soft soil.
He tossed it aside and dug faster than
ever. He wanted to get to the open

there somewhere. and he wanted to
do it before Rusty should return.

Suicide Near GreGnsburs.

Last Tuesday the people Of Green's
burg and those living near the town,
were shocked when the news spread
over the country that Miss Lou Blake
man, who was a sister-in-lav of Dr.
W. B. Helm, had suicided.
The deceased was a maiden lady
and was between forty and fifty years
old. She had been in declining health
for some time and trained nurse was
in attendance
The nurse, as we are informed, abb
sented herself from the room, and while
she was out, Miss Brakeman made her
way to the cellar of the dwelling, pro-
cured rope, and hung herself. She
was dead when found.
She was very estimable woman,
and had lived in the home of DR..
Helm and his mother-in-law, since the
death of the doctors wife, which
occurred a number of years ago. She
was mother to her. sisters children,
and her tragic death brought untold
sorrow. She did not lack for the com:
forts Of life, and the only reason adj
Vanced for the suicide is that she was
in wretched health.
She was treated as sister by DR..
Helm, her every wish being gratiied.

To Our Friend.

During the many years the under
signed were in business in Columbia
we were literally patronized by the
people of Adair and adjoining coun-
ties, and we want our friends to
know that we are not unmindful Of
the partiality shown us. To say
that the trade we received was high
ly appreciated, would not be stating
our true feelings. We are very
grateful, and the steadfastneSs Of
our loyal supporters will never be for
gotten. During the long term of our
business, we have endeavored to
please-haVe handled the best of ev-
erything in our line, and distributed
the same on a short margin. We
have the best of reason to feel thank
full, and we would be ungrateful were
we to fail to let our former patrons
know that we will always cherish
the fondest recoIIections of the favors
bestowed upon US.
For the present, we go out of bust
ness, but the happy years spent in the
brick, in the southeast corner of the
square, will continue to bring up the
most pleasant memories of bY-gone
days.
We are succeeded by The R. l..
Davis Hardware Co., and we have
not doubt but it will use all its eff
forts to conduct the business in a
most satisfactory manner. We take
pleasure in commencing the new firm,
not only to the people of Adair coun-
ty, but to all the adjoining counties.
Mr.. Davis has a large acquaintance,
and he is known to be a courteous
and heightened gentleman His three
sons, Shreve, Fred and Owen, who
are with him, are industrious, &C
commodating, and popular young
men. Miss Mollie Caldwell, who is
interested, is known as one of Adail
county's best young women.
AS we see it, prosperity awaits the
new firm.
Very truly,

Worth While.

A pike is now being constructed
from the Eunice Bridge which spans
Green river to Knifiey. The dirt road
is practically level and in fine con-
dition to the bridge across the river
at Dunnyille. If the Green river hill
leading from Columbia to the bridge
was graded we would have a good
road to Liberty, Stanford and Dan
vile. There are very few people
living along this route, and they
should be given assistance, and Colum-
bia would receive great benefit if this
work was put through. Therefore,
the people who would be the greatest
benefited should become interested.
SinceState aid has been withdrawn
the people living along this route
will have to build it with the assist
ance of others who want to see the
county prosper.

A Sad Death.

A sad and very sudden death occur
red at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B..
Jones, Greensburg street, this city,
last Wednesday afternoon at $50
O'Clock, their daughter, Elizabeth, aged
twenty-three years succumbing to an
attack of appendicitis.
Only few people in Columbia knew
of her illness, though she had been
complaining for several weeks, but it
was not thought that her illness was
of a serious nature.
Some hours before her death the
doctor informed the family of the ma
ture of her affection, and that she
could not recover, and death came at
the hour above mentioned.
She was young lady of pleasing
disposition and was popular with all
her associates. Being the youngest of
a family of five children, she was a
favorite, and her going away was
heartrending, She was exceedingly
modest, never engaged in frivolity,
her ladylike demeanor bringing favor
able comments. A girl leaving such
a character will be greatly missed,
not only BY her sorrowing parents,
and loving brother and three sisters,
but by all who knew her.
One of the sad features of this
death, she was to have been married
in very short time to Mr.. Tillet
Wellington, son of Mr.. Eugene Weth-
ington, who was employed at Detroit,
Mich. He was notified and arrived
Thursday night, and at o'clock Fri
day morning the funeral was held at
