FRIENDLY CONTEST
IS BEST. SAYS WILES
Visiting New York Business Man
Advises Frequent Interchanges
with One's Competitors.
HIGH AIM ALWAYS IS BEST
"The wise business man of today
visits his competitor and talkt over
the bualnesg with Mm," said 3. H.
Wiles of New York, vice president
of the Loose-Wiles Biscuit company,
la a talk at the business men's Chau
tauqua at Carter lake ' last .night,
"Then he toes back to his own plant
with new ideas and better .energy
for carrying them out.
"Every merchant should lay out a
mental course and work to It al
ways. The merchant who never
alms high, never gets anywhere. But
the man who alms high may never
reach the goal he has set out for,
but he will go a long way toward it."
Mr. Wiles referred to the movement on
foot here to weld the retailers of the atate
Into one big organisation Instead of hav
ing them divided into dosens of associa
tions as a worthy movement and a step
in the right direction.
"There la nq more reason for the re
tailers of the state to be divided Into
dosens of specialised state associations,"
he said, "than there Is for Omaha to
have fifty commercial clubs." '
S. R, McKelvle, former lieutenant gov
ernor, spoke on the merchant, saying
that he fills a need and that Ahat Is his
excuse for existence. He emphasised the
importance of advertising In the suc
cess of a merchant and declared that It
la by advertising alone that new Inven
tions are brought Into use.
There was no afternoon program of the
Chautauqua, owing to the fact that two
big attractions were oh In Omaha be
sides the Chautauqua. These were the
Booster baae ball game and the races.

Swap a Few Stories
FJ. J. Wright, fireman on the battleship
Virginia, passed through Omaha yester
day on hie way to Van Taaaeil, Wyo.,
where he will spend his leave.- He
stopped In Omaha to see Oeorge Emery,
motorcysee officer, formerly a shipmate
of Wright's.
The two men told many a yarn at
the police station, concerning their ex
periences; and enlarged considerably on
a trip they, otice took from Manila te
Shanghai. China, when they were naught
tn a typhoon, and entered port seven
days overdua They were on their way
to Hankow, In the Interior of China,
where the mlnalonarlea were having
trouble, according to the narrators, with
cannibal ChlnairuMi, whose appetite worried-
the Christian inhabitants of the vi
cinity. The stories of the trip were
weird and exciting, and lasted until
Wright found It necessary to leave te
catch his train.

James Wyneas. former head rattle
buyer for the Morris Packing company
at the stock yards, and now chief cat
tle buyer for the company at Oklahoma
City; was vlnltlng at the yards yester
day, bidding hie many friends goodby.
Excellent prospects are In etore for

that within ten years the yards at that
point would be crowding Kansas City
among the great msrkets of the world,
so good were the grazing prospects In
the surrounding country.
iiis many friends gave him a warm ,
reception and when be wasn't looking
pinned a beautiful diamond stick pin In
his tie while he was standing In the '
lobby of the Exchange building. II
said he thought he would like his new
home immensely.
ek-TrrMiry e He Maintained.
The definite assurance given yesterday
by members of the County Board of
Supervisors at their meeting in the county
court house, that the aubtreasury now
located in the South Side city hall would
be retained, was received with great ap
proval by citizens of the city. The action
of the board was commented on freely
by citizens and all seemed gratified to
the board for this forecasted decision.
Three men. Including former City Trees-'
urer P. J. Martin, who Is at present visit
ing in Chicago, will be kept In the local
department. During the busy months of
the year an extra clerk will be retained,
generally not more than a period of three
month a At present a clerk from the ntaln
office la auditing the books turned over
by the former city treasurer at the event
of consolidation. This work Is rapidly
near Ing a finish.
Central vs. Mike! One-Sided T

No answer.
"Hello!" Mike howled again.
"Number, number, please." came lightly
over the wire In one of those soprano'
tones that have made many a determined
business man forget part of hie Mew
Tear's resolutlona
"Number, nothing. Somebody waa try
ing to get the station and the phone
rang," Mike answered beck.
"I beg your pardon, but nobody called
South 20." Miss Central tartly replied. A
swell ear-splitting snap and Mike eras
wondering simultaneously whether hla
ears ' had been totally blowed out or
whether the telephone office waa loo far
away to make a lone attack that same
moment.
A pause.
B-r-r-rl Zip! B-r-r-r! Ting-e-lingl ,

which Mike aU but had a fit. Asaembllng
his senses for a bit of private conversa
tion, the desk sergeant explained the
situation.
"Somebody trying to make a fool out
ef somebody," the sweet central tartly
answered, and with a cutting snap over
' the wire cut off the connection.
Maybe eardrums lost their Identity at
that moment, but Mike didn't aay any
thing. "Aw, what can you do." he aald as he
turned around la hla chair. "Those cen
trals well, you can't get around them,
