THE POISON GAS
Many men have forgotten how to
sell. They are too busy uhispering.
But the man who wants to sell his
product has to talk above a whis
iwr. And he has got to think about
his own business. -He can go out
right now And gat two oidfts for
goods, space or whatever he is sell
ing in the time he takes whispering
about a rumor or Worrying about a
cancellation.
The engineer of a train, when he
comes for a moment to the valley
below the hill ahead, doesn't ftop
the train. He doesn't invite the
conductor to nit down with him le
side the truck while he tells him
hollow-toned ghost stories. He gets
his-fire well coaled, puts his hand
on the throttle and turns on the
steam.
It is exactly the right time for all
American business to take a hitch
in its trousers and go- to it. It's
time to iuit whispejng. It's timei
to turn off the poison gas and turn
on the steam. Printers' Ink.

COMMENT & DISCOMMENT
"E. G.'s Column." we are pleased to
note, is attracting attention outside
Bert's regular trade territory. Bill
Maupin of the Gering Courier has cast
his eye upon it and has been inspired
thereby to write a few observations on
"Modern Styles for men. He cannot
lie said to have the soul of the true
haberdasher, but he does have some
neat ideas on clothes conservation.
Read this:
"The Alliance Herald is conducting
a column in which it discusses 'Styles
in Men's Clothes.' The style of jroing
without a vest appeals lo me. It en
ables me to lay the vest carefully away
to await the day when the bosom of
my trousers needs reinforcing. Then
I take the vest and the trousers down
to the tailor and he deftly cuts up the
vest and inserts a section thereof into
the frayed bosom of the trousers and
I have practically n new pair of pants.
The style of fastening both back straps
of my suspenders to one button is,
however, somethirvr I can not com
mend, ulthough circumstances too of
ten compel me to submit. Nor am I
strong for that style of union suit
whereon there is a button situated
somewhere between the left hip and
the right shoulder, necessitating a
surveyor's level and a theodolite to
!otite which Is v?ry annoying on
chilly occasions. And the seemingly
prevailing fashion of having no bot
tom in coat pockets is also annoying."

began going to a maternity hospital
returning with a baby or two, until
she had eleven. SI e told her husband
the children had been born to them,
and he believed her, until last Janu
ary, when Mrs. South returned from
the hospital with triplets. That was
going ton far, and Mr. South investi
gate Found he did not have an
hone;:t-to-goodness-child of his own
among the eleven. He made a big
row, but, after the atmosphere had
cleared, he permitted Mrs. South to
keep six of the children. The others,
Including the triplets, were returned to
the maternity hosp'tal. That's what a
woman cets for imposing too much on
her husband. Those triplets were the
last straw.

ANOTHER DOG STORY
Here is another story which the col
lector of true dog yarns might like
to add to his list. A gentleman had
a log whose eyes were remarkably
different in size. Whenever a stranger
dined at the house the dog played a
trick on him. He would first get fed
at one side of the truest, and then go
around the table to his other side,
and pretend to be another dog! Lon

Telling the People
About Our Business
Borne business heads say:
"What's the use of advertising
what's the use of telling the people
anything? They won't listen to what a
corporation has to say.
Don't you believe it!
Some people have lot of wrong information
at times, but it is usually because they have not
been given the f act3.
We are willing to place our case squarely up
to the people, always. We believe they should
know what we are doing and why we are doing it.
It means less trouble and more happiness
