~ ALEsMANsHIP is tho power
which dominates the art Of the
merchant. 1t is in the domain
Of buying and selling what the
money making instinct is In business
the master quality.
The young man. then, who aspires
to be a successful merchant ought
to try to develop this capacity for
craftsmanship to the highest possible
degree It Is not merely that 1t Is
remunerative: without 1t no man
will ever attain to complete ascen-
dency in his business.
1t Ia a profound error to imagine
that craftsmanship consists of selling
at the biggest possible profit. But
to think SO Is a fallacy into which
the young salesman is apt to fall
at the outset Of his career. He has
the less temptation to do this II
he is in the employ of some big firm
with fixed prices. II. however. the
responsibility Of fixing the price is
his own. he is easily tempted to
make an excessive profit while op-
portunity offers itself.
The philosophers. indeed. regarded
all craftsmanship as partaking OF
this character. Their argument was
an extremely simple one. The mer-
chant presumably buys the article
for what 1t Is worth; he can only
sell 1t for a higher price by mis-
representing its value. The bigger
the profit. therefore. the bigger the
lie, and the bigger the liar the
greater the success In the career Of
merchanting!
This failacy Of the ancient world
is due to ignoring the cardinal doc
trine of economics. These show
that tho real cost Of an article Is
that Of production plus the value
Of the services which place 1t on
the market. In other words. the
profit made on a sale is the price
for tho service In exchanging goods.
A MISTAKEN POLICY.
Further experience has proved that
1t does not pay to sell on a small
scale at an exaggerated profit Such
a policy Is q mistake. 1t II not
the basis Of q big business. On the
contrary. selling should be the sale
at a small profit of a largo turn
over on q great scale. This is the

Of persons found wandering
- who can give no account OF
themselves. We also read Of people

cause. have forgotten whole periods
of their lives and are totally unable

consists Of billions Of microscopic
cells, that all our knowledge and
experiences are registered. Nothing
is forgetting: only tho power Of re-
calling varies. Each of these cells
has a lot Of small lateral branches
which overlap the lateral branches
Of adjoining cells, as the branches
of the trees do in . closely packed

When We get fatigued or de-
pressed from anxiety. or suffer from
shock, or tho blood supply to the
brain is poor, or the cells are under
nourished. the outstanding branches
curl up and lose contact with their
neishbors, and no voluntary effort
will then succeed in making us re-
member. The telephone system of
the cortex becomes disorganized.
What happens in everyday ex-
perience, for example, when we have
forgotten a particular name, Is that
after we have given up the strug-

thought or conversation, and have
thus given the affected part a rest,

route, by recalling other circum-
stances connected with the event

A severe conclusion may shake
the brain cells to such An extent as
to throw whole groups OF them out
of gear, and an entire series of
events, extending over days. months.
or years, may get beyond recall. I
have seen an officer after an ex-
plosion in q submarine boat. and
another man who suffered conous-

we're as to destroy whole groups Of
cells, when no treatment whatso-
ever will replace them.
LOSS of memory may be due to
other than physical causes. Cor
tain groups of cells may get isolated
by constant observation-disclosures, day
dreaming, and absorption in some
specialized mental activity.
In childhood the brain cells arg
freshest, so the memories Of that
period cling to us throughout life;
in old age the cells begin to show
signs of wear; consequently the
memory gets bad for recent i'm
pressions.
Medically. there are two ways OF
bringing back to memory forgotten
events: one is by hypnotic sugges-
ton, which is applied in purely func-
tional cases, as after emotional dis
turbances or shock; the other is by
galvanization of the brain, which re-
stores normal physical conditions
after organic changes, the electric
current supplying renewed energy

lateral prolongations to form con.
tact again with the remainder Of

out this project; because the Al
ministration held that the Philippine
Islands should be given to the
Philippine tribes. This condition
continued until March 4. 1921.
Meanwhile it became increasingly
difficult to make plans for recaptur-
ing: because the improvements ef'
fected in submarines, submarine
mines. bombs. airplanes. and poison
gases made the problem Of prevent
ing recapturc increasingly easy.
As long as the Philippines remain
undefended, our strategic position
relatively to Japan will remain I'M
favorable. 1.-TWO MEN HAVE A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST ABOUT
AN IMPORTANT MATTER, AND
ONE MAN HAS IT IN HIS POWER
TO IMPLICIT ON THE OTHER A
GREAT INJURY OF ANY KIND,
HE HAS THE ADVANTAGE. SINH
LARLY. ANY NATION WHICH is
ABLE TO DO A GREAT INJURY TO
ANOTHER WHOSE INTERESTS
CONFLICT WITH HERS, HAS AN
ADVANTAGE OVER HER. 1t was
in order to obtain such an advantage
that a nation has on occasions de-
manded hostages; that is, important
persons who would be placed in the
possession of the first nation. and
be at its mercy, in case the second
nation should fail to do as the first
nation wished 1t to do.
HOW THE PHILIPPINES CON
STITUTE A HOSTAGE IN THE
POWER OF JAPAN. In fact, since
they are exceedingly rich and cover
an area Of $4,000 square miles
three quarters that Of Japan, and
equal to the combined areas of New
York State and all the New England
States), they are even a more i'm
portant factor i'm the Far East stu
alton than mere hostage would be.
The mere killing of hostage would
be of little material benefit to the
country holding him; but the taking
of the Philippines would constitute
a material acquisition of the utmost
value to Japan. Besides. 1t would
get rid of a continuous threat on
the flank Of her trade routes to the
Mediterranean.
Some persons may think 1t wrong
that should publish these facts. and
thereby give valuable suggestions to
Japan. But. l am sorry to say,
Japan is q nation of finer military in
telligence than we. and understands
military matters better. THE JAP
ANESE ARE DISTINCTLY A MILL
TARY NATION AND WE ARE DIS
TINCTLY AN UNMILITARY Ma
TON. IL any man thinks that we
can teach the japanese anything in
military matters 1 would suggest
that he read japanese history.
The idea has been put forward
that the Philippines should not be
defended, because II defended they
would enable q United States fleet
to operate effectively from them
against Japan. But 1.-THE boot is
on the other Leg" The Philippines
can't menace Japan, but Japan
does menace the Philippines.
Regarding this. someone has sug-
gested that 1t would be sufficient
merely to fortify Guam, and de-
velop it into a naval base; on the

theory that Guam would then pro-
tect the Philippines. and that fleet
based on it would be able to ad-
vance to them and recapture them
as soon as they were captured.
This is an attractive idea, but
hardly sound; because GUAM IS
FIFTEEN HUNDRED SEA MILES
AWAY FROM THE PHILIP
PINES. AND TOO SMALL TO BE
DEvELOPABLE BY ANY MEANS
NOW KNOWN TO SCIENCE INTO
AN ADEQUATE BASE FOR A
MODERN FLEET.
But even IL 1t could be made into
an adequate base, and even IL 1t
actually were made so, any hostile
fleet advancing from it would be
attacked with torpedo planes and
submarines as soon as 1t arrived
near the Philippines, and would run
into submarine mines as well. The
Japanese fleet would hardly be fool
ish enough to engage the larger
American fleet in a standup fight;
with the result that THE AMERI-
CAN FLEET WOULD FIND IT.
SELF IN A POSITION LIKE THAT
OF THE BRITISH GRAND FLEET
IN THE NORTH SEA. WHEN THE
GERMAN FLEET WOULD NOT
FIGHT OPENLY BUT CON-
STANTLY MENACED 1T WITH
TORPEDOES, MINES, ETC.
But the British fleet had bases
and dry docks near at hand, while
our fleet woull have no base what
ever. AND EVEN IF THERE
WERE A FINE BASE AT GUAM,
ANY AMERICAN SHIP INJURED
IN A FIGHT NEAR THE PHILIP
PINES OR JAPAN. WOULD HAVE
MORE THAN / 500 SEA MILES OF
OCEAN TO TRAVERSE BEFORE
ARRIVING NEAR 1T!
On the other hand, II the Phil
ippines were made into a naval base
by the inexpensive process of sta
tioning enough airplanes there, no
troops or ships could capture them.
THEY COULD NOT ACTUALLY
INVADE THE ISLANDS EXCEPT
BY FIRST GETTING INTO SMALL
OPEN BOATS AND THEN BEING
TOwED TOWARD THE SHORE;
AND If THEY ATTEMPTED TO
DO THIS IN THE FACE OF AIR
PLANES READY TO DROP

CEIvABLE THAT ANY OF THE
TROOPS WOULD EVEN REACH

This being the case, they would
hardly make the attempt. Even

panying an invading expedition with

Dinner Party at Guy Home

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. P,
Guy was the scene of very pretty
dinner party Monday evening. Gov
ers were laid for sixteen, and the ap-
pointments were green. Dainty little
hand painted ladies dressed in green
and covering with their skirts each
water glass, added much to the color
scheme. The large living room was
lighted with candles decorated in
green, which shed soft light and
made it all very attractive. The boun-
teous four course dinner was served
from the serving table by Miss Kath-
ryn Guy and Mrs. Florence Bast.
The evening was spent in a guess
ing game, whist and music. Mr.. and
Mrs. McCulley carried away the head
prizes, Mrs. w. H. Bush and Mr.. Bun
day the consolation prize.
As the guests were not invited to
remain all night, they all departed at
q very late hour, all declaring the
Guys to be royal entertainers. The
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. McCulley

SYLVIA" TO BE GIVEN APRIL 8
High School Operetta to Be Presented
in Community Building

The operetta "Sylvia," upon which
the high school glee clubs have been
drilling for several weeks, is to be
presented next week Friday, April 8,
in the Community building. The
quarantine Of the c. NJ. C. hall, where
it had been scheduled to appear, made
it necessary to seek some other place.
After conferring with the American
Legion boys, who are to present a
play the following week, the school
authorities decided to cooperate with
them in erecting a stage in the newly
enclosed Community building, where it
is planned to put on both Of these at
fractions. #
The high school glee clubs will be
assisted in the presentation of the
operetta by such well known musical
talent as Carrie. Dill, Mrs. o. L. Sa-
void, Ruth DeLaHunt, Frances Nep-
stad, Arne MeIby, Glenn Dill, j. c.
Gould, and W.. K. DeIaHunt. Edith
Even, director Of music in the Oakes
schools, has charge of the produc-
tion.
The operetta is of course largely
musical, and all lovers of music will
be there if they can beg, borrow or
steal the price Of admission. There
is also sufficient laughable dialogue
interspersed between songs to provide
plenty of entertainment for those
whose taste does not run so strongly
to music.

DARING BANK ROBBER FOILRD
Brother of Mrs. J. C. Gould Has IN
Exciting Experience

In these days of daring bank rob-
berries, in which the bandit 30 often
makes his escape in safety with his
loot, it is reassuring to know that it
doesn't always work. One such rob-
berry miscarried last Friday, accord
ing to news dispatches from Chero-
kee, Iowa. The man who threw the
monkey wrench into the plans Of the
bandit was H. C. Steele, who is a
brother of Mrs. j. C. Gould of this
city.
The bandit entered the Steele's
bank in Cherokee during the noon
hour, at time when Mr.. Steele was
alone, all the rest Of the force having
gone to dinner. The robber walked
up to the cashiers window, and cover
ing him with revolver aimed through
the grille, ordered him to hand over
the cash drawer. He complied, and
was then ordered to get into the vault
and shut the door.
He retired into the vault, but left
the door open a crack while he unIim-
bered his own artillery. Before he
could shoot, the robber, who was en-
gagged in stuffing the contents of the
cash drawer into his pockets, saw
the danger and fled. Mr.. Steele fol-
lowed SO closely that he had no time
to jump into the auto which he had
parked across the street in order to
make his getaway. Instead he fled
down the street to the nearest alley,
f,rniahincr a foroat in fho ma uxs,hiIa
for Steele's revolver.
The shots attracted the attention
Of the business men nearby, and a
large posse was soon in pursuit Of the
bandit, who was shot as he sought
shelter in barn. His loot was all
recovered from his pockets. Al he
was wounded by shotgun it is
thought he will recover.
According to word received by Mrs.
Gould, it was the most exciting day
young Steele has put in since his re-
turn from France.

$4,000 Fire Loss at Bismarck

Fire of unknown origin broke out at
8 a. m. Tuesday in the frame build
ings at the corner of Main and Fifth
streets, Bismarck. It burned for
three hours, almost completely de-
stroying buildings occupied by the
r. C. Rosen clothing store and the
building adjoining, recently vacated
by Herman Lasken's stationery store.
The roof Of John Bortell's hardware
store was badly damaged. Policeman
Randolph, who turned in the alarm,
said the fire started in the roof Of the
Rosen building over the stairway be-
tween the Rosen and the stationery
store buildings. Five streams Of wa
ter were played on the buildings by
the firemen. Four bottles which had
contained kerosene were found in the
stairway where the fire started.

DICkEY COUNTY
AGAINST RECALL
Convention at Monango Last Wednet
day Instructs Delegates to
= Vote Against It
EXPECT FIGHT AT DEVILS LAKE
Matter Will Be Settled Definitely al
Meeting This Week

Delegates from all parts of the
county met at Monango last Wednes-
day for the purpose of choosing rep
resentatives to the Devils Lake con-
vention, which convenes Wednesday
and Thursday of this week and which
was called to settle the question of
whether or not we are to have recall
election.
The Monango meeting was called
to order by Chairman Ed. A. Smith,
Of Glendale, who is also acting man.
ager Of the joint campaign commit
tee in this county. Alex. R. Wright
acted as secretary. Chairman Smith
explained the reason for the conven-
tion and after the various delegates
had been seated it was moved by
c. E. Knox, supported by E. Magof-
fin, the the convention proceed to
elect eleven delegates to the state
convention. Mrs. Strand suggested
that before this was done the ladies
present desired some additional light
on the subject. They wished to know
the benefits, if any, to be derived
from a successful recall campaign.
Senator Kelsh, Mr.. Knox and others
arose and stated that in their opin-
ion recall would be a positive dan
ger instead of benefit. After brief
discussion it became apparent that the
convention was unanimously against
a recall election. As this county
is entitled to eleven representatives
at the Devils Lake convention, the
following names were submitted and
declared to be the unanimous choice
of the meeting: George Bliss, Mary
Strand, Cora Bush, C. E. Knox, r. A.
Bast, Ida M. Caldwell, T. ]. Kelsh,
j. C. Cooke, o. L. Schulstad, Mrs.
w. E. Dickinson and Ed. A. Smith.
The convention then voted to in
struct the delegates to vote against
the recall. In case some of those
chosen are unable to be present at
Devils Lake, those who go are en-
powered to cast the vote Of the entire
delegation. In addition, any delegate
was given the power to name his or
her own alternative.
