do so because he pays you for ex-
pert advice and he pays you better
than he does his doctor and his
lawyer.
Know Your Goods
ITO give the service your COM
pensation demands you must know
your goods-your service. You must
know the circumstances of your
prospect to know his needs and you
must know how to apply your pol
icy-your service so as to supply
what he ought to have.
Life insurance men cannot at
tain to or maintain a professional
classification unless absolute in
tegrlty and loyalty charactizes their
relations to their company and to
their clients. The doctor or law
yer who permits his selfish interests
to control him rather than the best
interests of his patient, or client,
will soon lose caste. Such conduct
is not professional and 1t Is not
profitable Honest, Intelligent serv-
ice brings business to you.
You cannot be professional un-
less you are professional in your
attitude to those engaged in the
same field, whether associates or
competitors.
Do Not ''Twistr Business.
TT is neither profitable nor pro-
fessional to twist business. You
cannot shake the confidence Of any
man in the agent or the company
with whom he has dealt without
shaking his confidence in all in
surance and all insurance men to
some extent. He is left an easy
prey to the man who follows you.
Why do it? All about you, wherever
you go, there are men and women
who have no insurance at all, or
less than they should have. Spend
your Time and effort on them rather
than on the destructive business Of
twisting, to the detriment of the
individual and life insurance gen
orally. 1t is better, and possibly
easier, to sell a man with an un-
satisfied need than to shake the
confidence of a man in what he has.
Do not twist. 1t not only Injuries,
but it degrades. Use your influence
to eliminate the practice. Be loyal
to your company. You must build
up and retain a satisfied clientele.
You cannot carry customers from
company to company with you.
Once serve a man with life insur-
ance on the ground that it is the
best that can be had and 1t will be
difficult to explain to him next year
that your new connection furnishes 5
better contracts"

line, at a regular meeting tonight,
will take up the provisions OF a
new wage agreement with the Tri-
City Railway company. Repre-

with a request that the present
maximum scale OF 70 cents an
hour, be continued.
The company served notice on
its employees April l, that it desired
termination Of the old contract June
Il. This action followed the at
tempt of the company to cut Dav-
export trainmen to 40 cents an
hour.
With the men proposing to ask
the company for the old rate Of pay
after June /. and the company ask
ing to terminate the present con-
tract because revenues are not SUI
ficient to pay the 20 per cent max
imum wage, another clash be-
tween the men and the company is
certain.
