Tells
Of SELLING
SCIENCE
State Realty Convention at
Shore Resort Draws Big
Attendance.

The science Of craftsmanship was
discussed recently before the real
estate class at the local Y. M. C. A.
by H. G. Kennedy, local realtor.
In explaining the fundamentals OF
salesmanship, Mr.. Kennedy pointed
out that the virtues of square deal
ing were rewf~ed in a much
greater measure in real estate sell
ing than in any other line because
the sale is of so much vital I'M
portance and of such moment to
the purchaser. This is true, Mr..
Kennedy stated, because the aver
age person buys only one home in
a lifetime and the, loss Of the sale
precludes any possibility Of future
transactions that could readily be
consummated in the sale OF other
commodities.
"A serious responsibility rests on
statesmen selling homes because of
the fact that the purchase Of a
home in most cases is the largest
single transaction that the average
man undertakes. In seeking
shelter for his family, man is en-
titled to the greatest amount of care
and caution in this transaction and
he should be sold only such a
home that meets the maximum Of
his requirements in reSDect to char'
acter, type and location as well
as value. No man should be sold
q home, Mr.. Kennedy stated, that
will overtax his financial means to
maintain and carry until finally
paid for.
In speaking Of the local situation,
Mr.. Kennedy stated that Washing
ton was on the edge of a growth
that ultimately means a million
population, although he could not
predict the number of years this
would require. All those who as
sist in suitably housing the thou
sands that are already in Wash
ington and those to come have a
golden opportunity OF not only Sc
curing a decent livelihood but rem
dering splendid community serv-
ice. A salesman engaged in this
activity will meet with keen com.
petition. but If he fortifies himself
with full information as to his city
and has confidence in his ability
and works consistently, success Will
eventually crown his efforts.
At the next meeting OF the class
the subject of little Examination
and Conveyancing" will be dis.
cussed by James ]. Becker local.

It may be of interest to note that
one hundred and fifty cars of pota-
toes have been sent to various cold
storage plants for seed purposes, and
to be planted late in July, or early in
August for the second crop. This is
only part of the story; the growers
will plant more, much more, Maine
grown potatoes for seed purposes
hoping, perhaps, to improve the quail
ity of their seed.
Under the crop just planted, there
is sown, approximately eighty thou
sand tons of high grade fertilizer
costing in the neighborhood Of forty
dollars per ton, or in the aggregate,
over three million dollars. To this in
vestment must be added one and a
quarter million dollars for containers
(barrels); some half million dollars
for the wages Of "pickers" and har-
vesting laborers. Cultivation, bug
death, hauling, wagon and truck up
keep, are other large items Of expen-
diture. And worry, etc. is no small
item; in fact, the collective worry be-
ing considerable.

Trucking On The Eastern
Shore OF Virginia

The trucking interests on the East.
ern Shore Of Virginia now are con-
siderable. Daily they are growing
and the end is not yet! From the
Maryland line to Cape Charles (not
the little city of that name; that place
j.. some sixteen miles north of "Cape'
point, but Cape Charles as Atlantic
Coast mariners know it) the Eastern
Shore Of Virginia is a "cape" with the
Atlantic Ocean to the East, and the
Chesapeake Bay to the West.
This peninsula, divided into two
counties, Northampton to the south
Accomac to the north, is perhaps sc
miles long as birds fly, averaging
perhaps, about six miles in width. ]
do not quote these figures from ex-
act sources, but they are approx.
mately correct, certainly near enough
FIR general purposes Of course, this
cape is wider near the Maryland line,
tapering to a point at "Kiptopeake'
or Cape Charles proper.
The New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad, locally known as
nip and N" is part Of the, great
Peninsula system, runs lengthwise
through the peninsula and now since
9 spur has been built from Cape
Charles city to Kiptopeake, it hauls
a flourishing traffic throughout it's
entire length.
Incidentally, the name "Kipto-
peake" recalls pleasant memories and
interesting traditions. In fact, the en-
tire eighty miles of peninsla, small as
it looks on the map, is vitality inter
esting from the industrial point OF
view as well as a sentimental because
of it's imortance in producing, gather
ing and shipping certain necessary
human foods. It is very doubtful, if,
in all the world, any territory of like
size uniniuenced by near urban en-
virons, ships as heavy tonnage of
human food as this narrow tongue of
land. However, it has one main crop
white potatoes.
The Eastern Shore of Virginia has.
in round numbers. 475,OOO acres. AS
Stunning the survey was made from
usual tide marks; $4,000 acres OF
this total is high land, suited for high
class tillage. Of this, seventy-five
per cent is cleared and it is estimated
that $4,000 acres of cleared area is
|p)snted in white potatoes. This &C.
reage, or at least ninety-fve per cent
Of it, is crop rotated, by planting corn
between every other row, approx.
mately thirty days before such pota.
tees are ripe enough to harvest. II
seems entirely safe to estimate
therefore, that the Eastern Shore d
Virginia will market 100000 barrels
of white potatoes. This will make a.
bout 10000 car loads to be moved ir
about forty working days, or $50 cal
loads daily or twelve solid trains Of
potatoes.

at Slaughter Beach, about 10 miles
from Milford, Del, for $4,000. This
year he has a banner yield Of wheat
for Southern Delaware. The crop,
1881 bushels from 80 acres, went with
the purchase price. At the present
market prices the wheat is worth
slightly more than $1,000. He obtain
ed an average of nj bushels Of wheat

from the ordinary red variety of
wheat seed, and no fertilizer was
used.

dixon OPTIMISTIC
over OUR OUTLOOK
Predicts That Montana Is Again.
Coming Into Her Own and That
Next Fifty Years Will Witness
Wonderful Development of State.

Montana is again coming into her
own. For the first time the black
clouds that have hung over the state
are really lifting and the future looks
fair and bright. "Such was the general
tone Of the talk given by Governor.
Dixon at a luncheon rendered to the
Governor and Chancellor Brannon at
the Bozeman grill Wednesday noon
by business and professional men of
Bozeman, including the Rotary and
Kiwanis clubs and the Young Mems
club of the college.
In his short talk the governor said
that this past week, when he has been
attending the commencement cere-
monies at the different state institu-
tions, was the most pleasant of any
he had spent since becoming governor
of the state. He spoke of the better
times that were confronting Montana
and of the wonderful agricultural de-
velopment he looks for in the next
few years. "From the Rocky noun
tains to the Dakotas," said the gov
ernor, there are some 100000 acres,
Not all of this is arabic land, but
time will show it to be one of the
greatest farming regions in the
world"
The governor spoke of the trip he
made earlier in the day through the
Gallatin with H. S. Buell.. He said
never in all the years he had known
it the valley looking better. "YOu peo'
pie here don't appreciate the beautie:
which surround you," said the COVER
nor, 'If you lived on gravel bars anC
placer diggings for 26 months as
have you would then appreciate thi
country around you. l have seen som'
of the most wonderful crops of wintel
wheat and alfalfa this morning tina
/ ever looked upon"
Governor Dixon praised the worl
being done at the college and said tha
he wished he might have more tim
to look over the college farm, parti
! cularly the livestock. He spoke o
the champion COW now making he
record at the local institution. Throug
his entire talk the governor was en-
Unused with optimism over the futur
outlook for agricultural Montana an
also for the state as a whole. He pre-
dicted that the progress made in tn

LICENSE PROBLEM
HAS Been Settled
Lieutenant Governor Story Acts as
Mediator. Merchants Will Pay Lie
ence Under Protest Until Outcome
Is Settled by Friendly Suit.

Lieutenant Governor Nelson Story,
Jr., has been instrumental in arrang-
ing at least a partial settlement of
the license problem which has been
such an issue in the city for the past
few weeks. Mr.. Story was present
at the meeting of the Bozeman We'll
fare association Friday evening and
there gave report of his meeting
with the city commission in an at
tempt to edualize and adjust the licen-
ses Of the different merchants of the
city. The adjustments, made by the
city commission with Lieutenant Gov
ernor Story and Attorney Kelley Of
Deer Lodge, acting for the Welfare
association, were adopted at the meet
ing.
The present plan of procedure is
that the members of the Welfare as
sociation shall pay their licenses on
the adjusted schedule, paying under
protest however. In order to settle
the matter for all time it is planned
to bring a friendly suit before the
supreme court in the near future. If
the decision goes adversely to the city
the money paid for these licenses will
be returned to those who paid them
under protest. On the other hand. if
the decision of the court is to the eff
feet that the license ordinance is
legal, there is nothing more to be
said.
In speaking of the affair a promin-
ent member of the Welfare associ-
alton said, "What we want is legal
license ordinance in Bozeman that will
properly pro-rate the license over the
different business concerns of the
city. We do not object to paying 9
license but we want it distributed
on proper schedule and not the
original one as outlined by the city
commission"
The present arrangement seems tt
be an honest desire on the part OF
both parties of the controversy x
come to peaceful settlement Of tbs
question and no small credit for this
result is dus Lieutanant Gswexmol
