Advertisers Tovn Makers
The trade territory of a town is not
dependent upon the distance to neigr
boring trade points The trade
depends upon the enterprise
of the merchants and the residents of
the town If a town does not reach
after the trade it v II ecmc only as
fast as it has to and it will grow as
is forced to But if the merchants go
after business in the surrounding
country advertising in every possible
way and making good every word of
their advertising trade will come
from an ever increasing radius the
town will gain a reputation for being
awake and it will forge to the front
It is the men in the town and not al
together the men living within a cer
tain number of miles from it that
makes the town Ex

lion and to modify the rules In the
house after a memorable fight they re
moved the speaker from the rules com
mittee which they enlarged and caus
ed to be elected by the house itself
Their chief tight was against the
Payne AIdrich tariff and against what
they termed Cannonism It is general
ly agreed that their activity had much
to do with the retirement of Aldrieh
and Hale in the senate and to have
made Speaker Cannons re election im
possible Through their influence the
pigeonholing of bills has to an extent
been abrogated
Reduced Appropriations
One of the watchwords of the ses
sion was economy and while no vast
saving has been made the chairman of
the ways and means committee statPd
at the close of the session that the
aggregate of appropriations would
show some reduction from the previ
ous year and compared to the normal
increase in appropriations due to the
growth of the country would show
material saving He gave the credit
for this to the president In this con
nection Mr Taf t sent in a severe criti
cism of the rivers and harbors bill
usually known as the pork barrel
While he signed the measure he frank
iy threatened that if another such
were ever sent to him he would veto
it He would overlook it this time but
dont do it again Another attempt at
economy which went wrong was the
elimination of the pension agencies by
the house The senate restored the
agents and the two bodies twice dis
agreed on the item but the house was
Qnally forced to recede
Despite the claim of Chairman
Payne the actual figures show a slight
increase in appropriations
Everybody Happy
Taken all in all the session probably
nccomplished more work and made less
noise than any of recent times It is
slyly hinted that the special elections
in Masachnetts and New York threw
the fear of God into the members and
they decided it was high time to make
good if they expected to get back It
is also just possible that the presidents
big stick had something to do with the
result However that may be the mir
acle was accomplished and the close
of the session gave the country a
gratifying example of what a congress
can do when it buckles down to busi
ness This was ail the more a pleas
ant surprise for the reason that the
Grst Gve months gave no promise of
uch an agreeable ending
Congress accomplished little dur
ing these five mouths and gave no
sign that it would ever mend its ways
Then came the landslides in
setts and New York and some mightj
straight talk from the White House
after which there were evidences of
repentance and a desire to lead a bet
ter life
The country is glad of all this and
still gladder perhaps that it is over
That is one of the good things about
congress the relief that is felt when
It quits

A BUSINESSJRAIN1NG
The Methods That Are Used In
the Schools of Germany
CLASS ROOMS AS OFFICES
The Pupils Arc Divided Into Firms
That Carry on an Imaginary Trade
With Each Other Tho Course From
Office Boy to Director
No one will deny the fact that tier
mans are among the keenest business
men in the world And undoubtedly
one of the secrets of their success lie
iu the fact that In German schools
ooys are taught the practical detaiN
of business The writer recently re
turned from Hamburg after a years
of education and an outline of
the system of training boys in business
may be interesting
On my tirst days attendance I Avas
handed a time table on which appear
ud set out iu formidable array such
subjects as commercial correspond
ence laws of bills of exchange cur
rency political economy aud commer
cial law none of which at the time
vecl much to me aud raised seri
ous doubts in my miud as to whether
I should be able to understand and ap
preciate what appeared to be most
abstruse subjects
At J a in sharp on the following day
the course began prefaced by a cou
ple of hours hard study for the Ger
mans are gluttons to work and thin
nothing of a twelve hour day The
first course was called business train
ing We worked in two spacious
rooms furnished as oflices each room
representing a different business house
These two firms carried on an imagi
nary trade with each other and the
routine adhered to was modeled exact
ly on the lines of a first class business
establishment
Each firm had a director and these
two were the most eminent students in
the academy They had subject to
their management and control a com
plete staff of correspondents short
hand writer typists bookkeepers etc
The whole was supervised by a mas
ter to whom reference was made in
case of dispute or difficulty
On making my appearance I was in
formed that my services were in re
quest as an office boy I was some
what taken back not to say a little
humiliated by the lowly position as
signed to me and I gave the master to
understand that I considered I wa
qualified to occupy a much better post
than that whu h he had chosen for me
He lid not seem in the least perturbed
bv inv remarks but said You have
already made a mistake a mistake of
diplomacy One of the great maxims
of business as taught here is to do
I
I what you are told to do it at once and
i do it well
I With that he handed me a pile of
envelopes and a long list of addresses
i aud told me to set to work addressing
t them I did so but not with a very
1
good grace the master coming round
from time to time to inspect my work
For two solid hours 1 plodded on until
11 a m when the course came to an
end Then I took the opportunity of
going up to the master again and ask-
ing him if he did not really think I
had been wasting my time in what I
1 had been doing
Not in the least said he In
everything no matter how simple or
how difficult there is always a good
j deal to learn If you have paid atten
tion while you were working you will
have learned something about the ge
ography of the German empire for
each address contains the name of
some important town and province in
which it is -situated and the name of
some firm celebrated for some
lar class of goods
I This gave me food for reflection A
a matter of fact I had not paid the
least attention to what I had been
writing consequently I had failed to
derive the benefit which it was the
masters intention I should obtain from
what seemed to me at the outset a
I most senseless task On the following
uay x resoiveu io ioiiow uui iuu mas
ters instructions to the letter and I
was surprised to find how interesting
the work became
I continued addressing envelopes for
two hours a day for a whole week and
the next week I received promotion
In this way I went through the whole
routine from office boy to director
and the experience which I obtained
in the various capacities has proved
invaluable to me in business
As director I had to sign checks dic
tate letters enter into agreements with
the other firm with reference to the
sale aud purchase of goods keep an
eye on the money market work out ar
bitrage calculations draw up and in
dorse bills of exchange and bills of
lading make out periodical statements
of affairs allow or dispute amounts
placed to the debit of the firm on ac
count of general average losses and
generally supervise everything
While we were thus drilled in practi
cal work the theoretical side of busi
ness was not neglected Lectures were
given at fixed hours bookkeeping and
mercantile law Thus we enjoyed the
inestimable advantage of acquiring the
theory and practice of business at the
same time Detroit Free Press
