Lessons in Craftsmanship
NO. 6-"BE HONEST"
Copyright 1919,
Copyright 1919.

Honesty Is the Best Policy" is
the motto of every good, successful
salesman. A good salesman never lies
about the goods he has to sell. He
never represents them to be more than
what they are. A salesman who
makes a sale by lying about his goods
is simply making a bad customer, and
the chances are the goods he sold are
returned and the firm is out the ex-
pense, and the customer is angered
because he was deceived. And IL the
boss is on the job, the salesman is
fired.
Truth in business, especially in
salesmanship, is the one great big
law that must never be broken. A
salesman's success is based as much
as anything else on his ability to
keep his old customers as well as
to get new ones. You can only keep
your old customers by telling them
the truth. OF course, when you tell
the truth about your goods. do IL
well, tell it interestingly. tell it in
such a way that your goods will COM
pare with anybody's else. Tell the
best that you can about them.
Don't lie to your customer. Al
ways remember that a customer has

Immediately summoned an abulance
and the man was taken to the hos
pital, where he died without regain
ing consciousness. II is believed
death was due to an ailment brought
on by high blood pressure as Mr..
Spencer had been suffering similar
attacks for quite a while.
Mr.. Spencer was sent to San An
tonic two weeks ago by the Winches-
ter Arms company on business as
well as to recover his health.
The famous trapshot was born at
Bunker Hill, ILL.,, in 1877. He had
made his home in st. Louis, however,
for many years. He had been con-
nected with the Winchester Arms
company for twenty years and had
travelled extensively with Mr.. and
Mrs. Toepperwein as an exhibition
shooting team representing his firm.
He was one of the best known trap
shooters in the world, having partici-
pated in matches in every state in
the Union and also had done a great
deal OF shooting in Canada.
The record established by Mr..
Spencer Of breaking 565 clay pigeons
in succession is a world record hard
to equal. Besides this record, he held
numerous others, including some for
live bird shooting. He is said to
have held more records in trapshoot-
ing than any other man.
Mr.. Spencer is survived by his
mother, his wife and two children.

Spencer, noted singer and composer
in vaudeville, of New Jersey.
The body is being held at the

ATLANTA, Sept. 25.-Richmond
county, of which Augusta is the
county seat and principal city, is
finding that diversification in farm
ing pays.
Peaches raised in the county this
year, as cash crop with which to
combat the boil weevil, brought in
net income to the farmers of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. They
brought top prices on all Of the
country's leading markets, and the
demand lasted longer than the sup
ply.
Farmers of the county realized
approximately $4,000 on watef-
melons alone this year. a4a

ted 1925 a car, and a great deal
of the crop was sold in Augusta
and neighboring cities for good
prices. tD
And finally the cotton crop Of
the county has made good. Loss
from weevil damage is consider
ably less than it was last year, and

as compared to crop of 800 bales

While no estimates can be made
as yet on the corn and peanut
crops, both are said to be in good

good returns.

only for the introduction of many
Of the smartest styles in Paris, but
for the introduction of American
jazz.
These girls, who start as dress
makers apprentices and helpers al
most as soon as they reach their
teens, and work for as low as 80
franks a week at the start, form
an organization 100000 strong,
and are perhaps the most interest
ing group in Paris,
Despite their long hours and
hard work, they develop an amaz-
ing "chic" and they soon learn to
copy for themselves the expensive
gowns they make for others.
At noon they are given an hour
and half for lunch and reerea-
ton, and their recreation takes the
form of varied and interesting en-
tertainment.
They're Stern Critics
Many an act is presented at the
sidewalk cafes for the midinettes
before it is shown at the smart
theaters. Practically all the new
songs are tried out before them be-
fore they are exploited. Those
that "flop' with the midinettes are
considered dead.
Their appreciation of Jazz is in
stinctive. They rarely have any
idea what the words are, but their
tiny feet in their ubby,round-toed
little French heeled slippers can
quickly detect the rythms that will
be popular in the French dance
halls.
You will see them laughing heart
lily over a song that has such a
plaintive refrain as "Every Night
Cry Myself to Sleep Over You,"
and looking perfectly serious over
some lyrics that would bring down
the house in America.

NEW ENGLAND CAPITAL
INVESTING IN SOUTH

ATLANTA, Sept. rs. - New
England capitalist, according to re-
ports received here, are investing
heavily in Southern cotton mill
properties, the tendency which has
been noted for the past year to
tarnsfer cotton manufacturing ac-
tivity from the New England mill
centers to Southern towns, being
very pronounced now. Indications
are that the heavy Investments
made in the past few months,
amounting, it is stated, to more
than $16,OOO,OOO constitute only
the beginning of a movement to
make the center of the cotton
manufacturing industry where the

FUTURE crown
PRINCESS NO BEAUTY
Lady Louise Montbatten To Be-
come Bride During Middle
OF November
By MILTON BRoNNER.

LONDON, Sept. rs. - Lady
Louise Mounbatten and the Grown
Prince of Sweden, the two princi-
pals in the latest middle-aged ro-
nance of royalty, have been CIV
ing Londoners I taste Of democra-
tic royalty or Foyal democracy
whichever way you want to put it.
Their wedding is Professionally
fixed for November. In the mean
time, Lady Louise has busted her
self with her shopping and her
royal lover has been an early au-
tumn visitor in the British capital.
The Mountbattens live in Ken
sington Palace. The other day l
caught sight of the bride-to-be
walking along the democratic shop
ping district of Kensington High
street. She was accompanied by
her mother and was wearing a
black marocain coat and big crino-
line hat. After making several
purchases, being elbowed in the
crowded shop aisles just like Mary
Smith, she hailed an ordinary taxi
and drove off to take tea with some
friends.
The future Crown Princess of
Sweden is no beauty. In fact, she
is quite homely as are so many of
the women connected with the Bri-
fish royal family. And she is 35,
too.
She is of German descent on har
paternal side. On her maternal
side, she is a great-granddaughter
of Queen Victoria and is, therefore,
a second cousin Of King George.
Her brother is Lord Louis Mount
batten, who married the heiress
granddaughter of Sir Ernest Cas-
sci and recently spent his honey
moon in America.
The Crown Prince of Sweden is
al and a widower. His first wife
died in 1920. She was a daughter
of the Duke of Connaught and,
therefore, a first cousin of King
George. Whatever state he may
preserve in Sweden, he is quite
simple in his ways when he visits
here.
He often leaves the Swedish lege-
ton in Portland Place and strolls
unattended down to the crowded
thofoughfares ike Oxford btrerl
ana Regent Street, knocking about
in a lleisurely manner and enjoying
himself by rnbbering without be-
ing rubbered at. ~

engagement because she wasiTn love

"The stuff that is appearing in

and psychological rot, for the ne
groes know they have no reason to
fear the Ku Klux, and ninety-nine
out of. every hundred have no de-
sire for social equality. They are
going North and East simply be-
cause they can get more wages in

can afford to pay more. If we do
