EssoN IN HOME INDUSTRY

Plentywood merchants might well take lesson
from the Dagmar Cooperative Store and the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Dag
mar in ,ilding up home industry. Both of these
concerns set practically all of their printing done
in Sheridan county. They believe in keeping the
money to home as well as saving their patrons
money. If the Plentywood bushes houses gave
rs much job printing to the local printeries as
the Dagmar firms, there would be at least three
or four more families lvng in this city to
buy the necessities and luxuries of life and the
money spent to keep printers elsewhere would
flow back to the home merchant from whence it
came The business firms at Dagmar have not
lost any money by dealing with local printeres: in
fact both the store and insurance companies of that
village enjoy wonderful prosperity and grow
ing by leaps and bounds. Think this over, Mr..
Merchant, the next time you have some letter
heads, envelopes and other job work TO be DONE

PROTECT THE HOME MERCHANT

A carload of vegetables and fruit arrived In
Plentywood for distribution to the general pub
lie this week by parties other than Plentywood
merchants.
The merchants of this city, who handle the same
products that are being sold by the strangers to
the public, are highly indignant, because of what
they term unfair competition
They claim that there should be some measure
taken by the city whereby itnerant vendors of
their (the merchants) stock in trade should be
made to pay for doing business in the CITY,
The home merchant is subject to taxes, the
hiring of help, donations for every form of benevo-
lent enterprise in the city and he gives willingly
and as much as his finances will allow. Naturally
he feels that it is unjust for a stranger to come
in and sell goods, which he handles, without also
coming in for his share of the expense of doing
business in the city.
The home merchants do not fear the competition
OF those coming into the city with goods to sell,
but they do object to the unfair advantage which
the itinerant peddler holds over them
This is matter which could well receive the
attention of the Plentywood Commercial Club and
remedy for the situation be found

FRIDAY, AUGUST 80, 1929
DIRECT DISTRIBUTION

Middlemen seem to be placed in jeopardy by the
growing practice of merchants to do their buying
direct Present day conveniences for direct trading
have entered into the new equation, the working
out of which can not fail to promote the interests
of the consumer both in the selection of and
the price paid for them. Merchants solicit
ed directly by the producer.
Viewing the world market generally, it is evil
dent that the direct method is gaining in popular
ity at the expense of the intermediary dealer who
once virtually dominated things
The American manufacturer is furnishing ex-
perience for the American farmer, who can vastly
widen his home market and open up new demand
abroad by collective distribution and direct selling
American merchants are thronging the collective
purchasing field and are buying at home and
abroad the goods for which they formerly paid
tribute to the purchasing class of middlemen.
1t is significant to note that here, as in other
fields of modern trading, the American business
man is affOrdng instruction to tn eworld and lev
cling up the prosperity of the consumer, while pay
ing to the producer a larger percentage OF profit
that formerly went to the middleman.
Thus is the problem of the middleman and his
profits solving itself.

of accredited institutions and are qualified to
teach but they have no teaching positions ac-
cordng to Miss Elizabeth Ireland, state sup
erintendent, and we have considerably more
than 1000 teachers in the state who were
brought from other states to teach. Ihere
is no reason to discharge these competent IN
structors who were brought in, but superln-
tendents or trustees who are bringing IN
more outsiders this year are doing something
of which they should be ashamed. We are
building a Montana for Montanans and the
firm foundation of the building process is
our educational systems We have confidence
in the ability of Montanas own young teach
ers and they have right to demand employ
ment in preference to outsiders.
Without question the bringing of outside
superintendent, principals and teachers INTO
this state occasionally has the effect OF lmprov-
ing our system with new ideas. However, Mon
tana taxpayers are footing the bills for the rum
ming of our schools and the children of these
taxpayers should get first consideration as
teaching jobs open and deserve wage compar"
able to their academic preparation and the I'M
portance of their positions. Some years ago we
were hiring Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
teachers by the wholesale and they did not
bubble much over salary because they wanted
to see new country, to live somewhere besides
home for a year. In some cases this lowered
wages to where some Montana girls, forced TO
earn enough to entirely support themselves, had
to go to such distant places as HAWAII and Alas
ka to obtain lucrative teaching posts.
Happily, some parts of Montana have turned
1000 to Montana teachers. The higher institu
lions and the state superintendent are in touch
with young and women seeking jobs ano
with 500 available it seems certain that almost
any specification could be filled When it comes
TO Montanans patronizing their home state
there is no way it can better be done than by
giving employment to the young citizens whC
wish to remain here to work.

AN INSPIRING EXHIBITION

One would have only to be in Cleveland this
coming week to be brought to full realization of
the vast progress which has been made in the sci
ence of aviation during the last three four years
There will be on display and in actual demonstra-
ton almost every conceivable sort of aircraft from
tiny one-seaters not much larger than limousine
TO giant passenger planes capable of carrying
eighteen or twenty people. About large dirigibles
will dart and flash craft which split the air at
a speed of one hundred fifty miles and more per
hour. 1t will be spectacle worth viewing and will
also be another milestone in the advancement of
industry which is rapidly assuming very inn
portant proportions in this country.

TERMS OF SEA SAFETY
CONVENTION KNOWN

Washington-(FP)- Life boats
for all on board, passengers and
crew alike, is one of the most i'm
portant provisions taken from the
program of the International Sea-
mems Union of America, adopted
in the convention drafted by the
international Conference on Safe
summer in London. A report of
the work of the Conference was
made public Aug. 10 by the State
Department.
For many years the experts of
the steamship lines, testifying at
congressional Investigations on the
need for better provision for sea
safety, insisted that life RATS and
life belts were often good enough
protection for men put overheard
in time of shipwreck along the
cast. Gradually this claim was
abandoned, as Andrew Furueth
president of the Seamen's Union
kept up his long fight for genuine
safety provisions. "Life boats fol
all" was one of his slogans in adj
vancing the Seamen's Act whicy
the elder LaFollette piloted thru
Congress in 1915.
In the new convention, all pass
| enger ships and all cargo ships O
over 1900 gross tons will be re
quired to carry wireless equipmen
for the sending and receiving o
distress signals. Radio compass
must be carried by all ships o
5000 tons or over. Existing reg
ulations as to construction ar
frightened, as to pumping equip
ment, fire apparatus, watertigh
subdivisions and decks, and fire
proof bulkheads. Tests for stabil
ty Of new ships are required. tn
convention also contains certai
limitations upon manning, based o
European rather than America
standards.
