It is common fault ia this regard to assign agencies to dealers placing the largest orders, irrespec- tive of the dealers organization, sta biIity, and capacity to render service. Equally dangerous is the selection of a house which is already handling so many more profitable classes of goods that the new line is certain to be slighted or ignored. When the agent selected to be European, handling competing European goods, the error is all the more serious. The ability, therefore, to form a shrewd, just es- innate of persons and situations is Invaluable.

They can only make 2,000 a day but engineers say the factory could easily produce 1O,- 900 a day if it had proper machinery. We'll, that would cost two hundred thousand dollars, so I'm not interest ed for I never could get that much money,

 "But tho thing that interests me is the metal part of the electric bulb. seven of us boys, mechanics, who The Petrograd factory makes only the glass and imports the metal parts from Germany. If we only had three of four thousand dollars there are would put in our labor and set up a little shop to make those little parts. They have already promised, as soon as we have our dies and make our we can make. Then we can begin to expand toward the machinery and mass productions we must have in the future. If we can show chance Of this we can get the monopoly for lamp production in Russia"
 Look here" I said, Suppose you lind that you cannot make those metal parts as cheaply as Germany? Will that factory buy from you then?"
 Sure" he said; the Government Is interested in having those things made in our country. They will put on a duty to protect our development. Infant industries" he grinned, for he had been in the States.
 Sockets, But No Lights.
 I remembered the conditions of lighting in Moscow; every room has half dozen sockets and only one bulb! Electric light lamps do not sur- viVe seven years of war and biackade. They are simply non-existent, and there is a great demand. I bought one decent bulb for fifty-f1ve cents, sian roommate said: How cheap!" And that was the kind of market those boys had to supply!
 We talked after this to somebody higher up. He had documents all ready for a Russo American trading company. which should be given the monopoly of exports and imports for the Russian Government. 'T have ready for export" he said-and then he mentioned the number of tons of pigs bristles, ferro manganese and other articles of commerce in which Russia excels. There are private trading companies already operating on a shoestring, he said, ''and they are making money. But a company in which the Government had per sonal interest, owning half the stock. while American capitalists owned the other half-a company with the monopoly for supplying Government institutions and exporting Government products-would there. be money in that?~
 The amount of capital he mentioned tor such company was so small that I'm not going to tell it. For it gave me wild dreams of getting together 3 few friends and going into the bust- ness myself!

Methodists Asked
 To Meet Crisis
 With Their Funds

Chicago. Aug. so.-An appeal to all Nethodists to donate a tenth O. tneir the forces which were declared to threaten civilization is made by the hoard of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church in an open letter lo tue ministry and membership.
 The funds, it is explained, would be used by the Methodist Centenary Movement The appeal says the de- mana is urgent and that the destiny of the world hinges on Christianity. The destiny of Protestism will be lareeiy influenced by Methodism's failure or success at thls tlme, ;a bv Ri1hop The l9ttfF g F. Perry Rncn of Philadelphis, W. r. Mcdowell of Washington, D. ., F. M. Bristol, Chattanoosa. Tenn. C. E Locke Manila P. l., and w. F. An derson of Cincinnati, reads in part as follows:
 "our world is summoned to meet the issue of its moral destiny. The crisis this hour transcends immeas- urably the military crisis ot the pe- riod of the war. Then men feared those who had power to kill the body: now men stand awed and fearsome in the presence of forces which threaten ta cast civilization body and soul into hell. This time it must build upon the di- vinS principles of justice and good will. It was q vision glorious The church caught it and accepted the challenge, with what seemed a divine passion
 Just as the movement had at tracted the attention of the world, alas. the church cooked in its ardor and slackened in it's enthusiasm. Now it is even suggested that the word 'centenarh' is distastefuI. Much has been made of the mistakes in policy and procedure; but men of experience know that mistakes always mark mo- mentous movements. It has declared that the frequent appeals for funds has produced irritation in many quar- ters.
 Surely it would not be unreason- able in this hour of the extreme peril of our Lords Kingdom throughout the world to ask that the mem bers

 Need Personality.
 Personality and stability of moral character are factors whose fmpor- tance can scarcely be overestimated. The habitua1 gambler, the dfunkard, or the fast liver is a distinct liability no matter how brilliant he may be as a salesman between the twilight cnes" The nonchafant readiness of more than one American firpn to take chance" in these respects has cost lis country large prospective busi- ness and, worse still. has distinctly 1amaged American reputation abroad.
 It should be made clear, however, Dr. Klein pointed out, that the warn ing against the unreliable traveller possessing the faults just mentioned, does not imply any prejudice against the salesman who is a good mixer" "a mixer who blends his social activ- ities with restraint and proper stan dards of living.
 Tact and good manners are also essentiais. The hustler" with his American line of s'buff good fellow ship frequently meets with disaster in South America. The Latin Ameri- can is accustomed to well-phrased compliments and strict observance of certain conventions. He dislikes the appearance of doing business in a hurry, yet, according to Director Klein.

 Moscow, Aug. 30-"I am convinc- ed," said an American business man to me recently in the streets Of Mos COW, that if a man came in here with a little capital, say $25,0O0 to s5O,oo in cash, and just sat tight and
 "im specuiation?" I asked, for I knew that small fortunes change hands daily on the unrecognized but still operating Bourse, by specuIattng in foreign exchange.
 'sNo, by legitimate business invest ment that would help build up Rus sia. I never saw so many business opportunities in my life.'
 I asked if I could go around with him one day and listen in. We met first an energetic youth representing the Educational Productive Associa- youth of Russia for physical training. he said keeping in mind always not only our own health but the defense of our country. There are five mill lion young people of the eligible age, and we have nearly two million en- rolled.
 Staggering Monopolies.
 "Our head office in Moscow sup ports itself by concessions which 1t gets from the government. We have, among others, the monopoly for sup plying sporting goods in Russia"
 I was staggered. A monopoly like that, with a market of two million young people already organized! You must be making something?" l said.
 we are," he admitted modestly. But what I wanted to talk about is the concession we have for running autobuses in Moscow. We have only one autobus now, brought in from Germany It holds twenty people, and it makes in profit about $1oO a day and S2OO on Sunday. Can't you get some maker of autobuses to go in with us he to furnish the autos and we to furnish the gasoline and do the operating?
 Autobus Privilege.
 we can get monopoly of auto bus transport in Moscow; in fact, the city would even take stock in our concern. You know yourself how crowded the street cars are, and it will be years before they can be eX- tended There is no subway or ele- yated and this in a city Of two mill lion people. Figure for yourself the chances, if only we had ten autobuses to start!

ST. PATRICK MASK BALL SCORES
BIG.

About ninety couples and many
spectators packed the lower floor Of
the Nezperce Hotel last Friday even
ing and made the st. Patrick's Day
masquerade ball one of the most sue
cessful social numbers this commun
ity has enjoyed in many moons. The
costumes of the maskers were unus
ually good and most of them SO clever
ly worn that the identity of the wea-
er was generally unknown until the
time for unmasking.
The floor of the big dining room
was filled with dancers at all times
whether the number was one of the
modern "what is it 's,' waltz or a
quadrille from the first sound-off till
" Home, Sweet Home'' at 200 a. m.
-Four handsome prizes were given co
the following winners: For best and
prettiest costumes, Mrs York Her
rem, as Spanish dancer, and Mrs. J.
M. Mitchell, as Columbia Comic, Mr..
and Mrs. J. D. McCown, as son and
daughter of Erin. Waiting couple,
VIM. Fuller and Nellie Crook.
Following the unmasking an inter
mission was filled to the delight of the
crowd with short vaudeville program
in which Prof. Sitter of Craigmont,
and Misses Buchanan and Manring
were the actors Prof. Sitter, who,
prior to taking the profession of
school teaching, had made an enviable
reputation as reader and interpreter
on the chautauqua and lyceum plat
forms, sang several Scotch songs in
dialect and kiltie garb, bringing down
the house with each one. The two
young ladies kept the crowd in an ups
roar with character songs and dialogue
as Alabama coons, with the character
istic chicken accompaniment.
Landlord Chaplin was much gratified
at the success of his undertaking, and
states that the affair netted him over
300.

GOOD TIME AT SMOKER.

The Legion boys again entertained
their friends whole lot at smoker
given last Saturday evening in their
club room in this city. The hall was
well filled with business men and
farmers of the community and boys of
the service, and all participated in the
various games provided until the pro-
gram of ring sports began, and then
the half dozen bouts by local and more
or less inexperienced talent held the
party's attention for an hour and a
half. Between the bouts the Legion
Quartet three of the members
Booth. McCready and McKenzie-sang
new and old songs that brought out
generous applause, as the singing of
this bunch always does.
A luncheon of sandwiches, "Tinyo
Moore doughnuts and coffee was serv-
ed for at least two rounds, cigars were
passed and repassed, and the smoke
fest and general goodfellowship en-
sued until very late taps.
These smokers are good for the COM
munity.
