ALERT RADIO DEALER LEARNS
Goods, but Takes Lessons
In the Art.

Besides stocking his shelves, the
progressive merchant in radio is also
employing some Of the summer in re-
plenishing his mental supplies Of radio
information. The taking Of courses In
the art, either by mail, or through the
very convenient form Of carefully pre-
pared lessons in magazine, or from a
competent Instructor, is highly desir-
able, says Radio Merchandising. The
business part Of radio Is going more
and more into the hands of men who
have basic knowledge Of electricity

GOING TO PROVE IT

The Breeders Journal at Spencer, Iowa, has been sold at auction to satisfy the creditors. It is the same old story told to farmers and breed CTS, but the pity of it is that the falsity of the claims could not be proved and the stockholders convinced until it was too late and they lost their money The promoters of the Breeders Journal told the farmers that they were being overcharged by the newspaper and job offices. They opened up for business, cut prices and made the newspaper men look like robbers-for while Anybody can run business down hill, but eventually things have to be paid for, and if right prices have not been charged they go into bankruptcy.
 Every newspaper in Blue Earth county has suffered from the same ill cause. Newspaper men know what printing costs are, and if stock holders of a bankrupt newspaper want to put up the difference they are welcome to the glory
 The business man who is incompetent to fig ure correctly is always detriment to his com petitor because he places the latter in the wrong light-makes the public think he is a rObber When he explains that he cannot do business on that basis the customer asks: "How is it that your competitor is able to?" The fact is his competitor is not able, but we have to wait un- til he goes broke to prove it.
 It is just the same in the dry goods business, the grocery business or any other line. The le- gitimate dealer knows what his expenses are, and just what he must have to continue his bus mess, and he knows that his competitor must go broke in time-Publishers Review.

HARDING'S COMMON SENSE
 MADE CONFERENCE A SUCCESS

The vote in the United States senate on the Pacific treaty gave peaceable and intelligent Americans greater cause for thankfulness than they have had since Nov. II, 1918. Then they saw an unquiet and disordered peace end war i; now they find an ordered peace preventing war.
 The senators who made this achievement of the American government possible by their votes in ratifying the treaty deserve much at this mo- ment from the people of the country
 Twelve Democrats periodically stepped out side their party lines and particular credit is due them. The treaty was in their hands and if they had not brought their partisanship to stop at the waters edge the country might not have had this deliverance from war.
 The supreme credit goes to President Harding. He made the achievement possible. His judg- ment did not fail at any time either in organiz- ing the conference or during it's negotiations. The decision probably rested entirely with him when he made the appointments to the American delegation. From the senate itself he took the Republican leader, MT. Lodge, and the Demo- cratic leader, MT. Underwood. He took Mir. Root and he took Mir. Hughes, the secretary of state, and during the negotiation of the agreements he stepped aside. He permitted the secretary of state to function.
 Thus it was possible to present the senate with treaties which did not bear only the inn press of one strong willed and stubborn man. The fact that MT. Harding several times revealed himself in doubt as to interpretations indicated that he had kept his hands off, He proved the value of the politician in democratic statesman ship. Mr. Harding knew American methods and how to proceed by them. If MT. Wilson had cared to recognize them the covenant of the league of nations might have been different, but it might have been accepted by the senate. We think that no covenant for such league could have done anything but injury to the United States, and are glad now that Mr. Wilson went about his project in the wrong way just as we are glad that MT. Harding went to his in the right way.
 America and Japan have avoided senseless war and the United States in finding the way to peace gained distinction. It acquired leadership. It has given the entire world new precept, and it has found for itself and probably has given the world peace for a long time - Chicago Tribune.

AN APPRECIATED COMPLIMENT

Arizona has few real newspapers where the editorial desk is presided over by the real owner of the paper. In this list the two most prom inent are Major Geo. H. Kelly of the Douglas International and Col. Fred s. Breen of the Co., conino Sun. Such journalists follow consistent policy-Phoenix Messenger.
 We'll, now we can see where Editor Mills is half right, and are inclined to believe that Major Kelly will agree that to the other half. Editor Mills is entitled to an equal amount of credit for his straightforward honesty and stalwart stand for the good of Arizona during the past seven years that he has published the Messen- ger. Like Major Kelly, Editor Mills has given the best years of his life to the democratic par ty, but their names come up missing when the political pie is passed Probably they did not care for it, but they were at least entitled to honorable mention If the democrats conclude to run Major Kelly for governor, us republicans are going to have a real fight on our hands.

THE CHARACTER OF THE MAN

The merchants of Flagstaff have come to the conclusion that credit association IS necessary to protect themselves from bad debts which have been piling up of late years, and becoming a real menace to good business. The merchant who fails to meet his obligations seldom makes a success in business life. There are many of that kind Flagstaff has them. Men who pay because they are compelled to are the meanest element in human society-a Stench Tn the nos- tris of all honest men and women. They are the buns, the wilful tramps, the conscienceless slaughterers of the innocents All suffer because of this brainless bunch who attempt the hardest route on earth to meagre living. Most men love to help a fellow man when he knows the truth, but hate to be made the victim of an out law who takes every advantage of an honest man. From some place comes this hom1ly on character which covers the whole system of wrongs and points out the way: Remember that others remember and you are remembered as you have shown to others" The Character of the Man" thus covers it all:
 Character wins many times when cash is ap- parently beyond reach Business loans always hinge on the character of the man who needs them If his character is doubtful the loan must be abundantly secured by collateral, and in many cases where the character is bad loans are gladly refused regardless of security.
 No man in business knows what may turn up to put him in financial distress, particularly in times such as the present, when credit is more or less uncertain, and sudden and unexpected needs swamp all cash reserves and demand large amounts in addition. Then character counts heavily and decisively. The reputation of a bus mess is one thing, the character of the men who conduct it is quite another. Banks give repu- tation all due consideration, but in times of stress and desperate need it is character that decides the future of many man and business. Therefore build character as you go along It is pillar of strength.

THE LEADER sUsPENDs OPERATIONS

Charles Thomas, editor of The Northern Ari- zona Leader in the last issue of that publication on last Friday, announced to his readers:
 Seven years ago the Leader began its more or less checkered career in the town of Flag staff and with this issue it will cease publica- tion under the present management"
 It is understood the plant will be stored until some future time when the yelling ambition to run newspaper" springs up in the breast of some one with money to bet on the proposition again.
 Neither a few good enemies nor a few good friends are sufficient basis to warrant the pub lication of newspaper-it rests with the big majority of the people to be served.

THE NEWSPAPER GUIDE

The newspaper that carries good line of ad- vertising is to the shopper what the time table is to the traveller and the published guide of the tourist. Busy people will study advertisements in the home or in the office as they do time table, and before they start out shopping they have determined where they are going.
 The newcomer or the visitor to the city finds the advertising columns of newspaper relia- ble guide to follow, just as he finds the printed guide for tourists to points of interest matter or interest and time saving In fact, the stores, the mills, and the theatres are points of interest to all tourists, and the nonadvertiser puts him. self outside the pale of interest so far as strang CTS are concerned.

The easiest way to stop newspaper is to pay up and request it stopped. If it continues to come, mark it refused" and put it back into the postoffice. The paper that is worth while will immediately stop. According to law person is liable for the subscription price if he continues taking it out of the postoffce. The Sun is not troubled much along this line, but the question of proper procedure is often asked. Marking a paper "refused' and returning it to the post office does not relieve the subscriber of the amount due, though some debt evaders seem to think it does. When you move notify the paper of your new address and give the old address as well. Newspapers can not be forwarded without additional postage.

And everyone knows what hit

this year is as far ahead of anything
they have ever before attempted, as
the Elks shows have been ahead of
any other amateur performance
staged annually, the worth Of the
