Babson, the well- known statistician in Forbes Magazine. “If you are in the retail business, ob- wiously you must operate on this unit; but if you are doing a national business you can readily increase your sales ef- ficiently by following the same plan. “Conditions are not alike in any two cities at one time, and sales possibilities in: adjoining localities may differ by as wide a margin as 50 to 60 per cent. It is ridiculous to assume that the campaign + designed to sell the county as a whole, B will be 100 per cent productive in each of i these various communities under all of these different circumstances. It is safe to say that the sales can be increased 10 to 30 per-cent on every dollar you spend in advertising and sales effort, if you will b take the trouble to study each city and | fit your plans to local conditions whatev- er they may be, “Many: business concerns will not take the trouble to get this knowledge. They are governed as the old-fashioned one- cylinder gasolene engine was governed— by the “hit or miss” method. This will not be admitted by some sales managers, ad- vertising men, and credit men who claim they are not operating by luck and chance but by intuition, : “Intuition is a wonderful thing—when i, it works. I have great respect for it— 3 When it works. But it doesn’t always work Intuition is what prompts a hen to sit on china eggs as optimistically as on the real ¢ article. Intuition is what tempts the set- g ter pup to point at the partridge cage. In- i tuition is what leads many business men into the embrace of the receiver. | —— ] g LONDON BELIEVES 3 The Port of London authority describes the new plans for improving the Thames channel and several of the great docks. In the official report it is stated that this ' is, “a bid for the American grain trade when the stuff can be brought by way of the.Great Lakes-St. Lawrence.” The report says that business men of London have such implicit faith in the feasibility of the project and the determi- nation of the people in the middle west to carry it out that they are planning a de- velopment in which they propose to invest about 10,000,000 pounds sterling. ———4§ U, S. STEEL PHILANTHROPY During the last ten years the United States Steel Corporation has spent over $100,000,000 in welfare work among its employees. A million dollars a year is spent to prevent accidents, and about $8,000,000 goes to welfare work. This is a phase of the steel business that the publie hears little about. It is the tendency of the labor spokesmen always to criticize and never to praise-that has-alienated the public sen- timent .from -their-cause. It is only fair to “gwe the devil his dues.”. FLiDie ————d BACK CLAIMS SETTLED ra.pxd PYogYEss in“coNecting back taxes du taxpayers. A year ago there were 168,000 unsettléed_claims pending, which have been ré\duced to about 91,000 at present, includ- ing those that arrive daily. Back taxes are coming in at the rate of $26,000,000 a month, and it is hoped to increase their payment by spring so that the predicted. deficit at the end of the fiscal year may be materially reduced by that means.

They have been taught and can play a much better game than they did Saturday. — CREAM CHECKS INCREASE “Eight years ago we bought over $10,000 worth of selected sires and heifers and placed them with farmers in our territory. We have kept a careful check of the cream checks handled through our bank since that time and the amount has increased more than 500 per cent.”—First Natlonal Bank of Hope, N. D. | erey— ] THE 18th AMENDMENT The 18th Amendment will never be an- nulled. It is here to stay, The “Wets” will find it just as hard to put their light wines and beer across with a mixed Congress as they have during the past twenty months. Shipstead and Frazier and LaFollette will be kept busy enough to secure farm legis- lation, without wasting time with the wets. Y N Two gangs of burglars robbed the same store on the same night. Too bad they did- not get there at the same time, so that each gang could have shot up the other. You rgb- bers simply must be more careful and stay on your side of the street. It is estimated that during the past five years over fifty million square miles of timber has been destroyed by fire, Now they are cutting the beautiful timber on the shores of Lake Bemidji. We will soon be out of the woods. —% . N ‘Anna Dickie Olesen will not permit the blame of Kellogg’s defeat to be placed upon the Democratig party. It was a Ship- stead victory and probably would have been, had she.not entered the race. 2500 NOT 250 The Northome Record says that Bridge- man defeated McPartlin by about 250 votes. A typographical error no doubt— just dropped a cypher. :We notice that among other things the Democratic party stands for a Living Wage. It isn’t what a party stands for or’ promises that counts but what they will deliver to he people. § Don’t condemn the whole Legion be- cause of a few drunks Armistice Day.

There are: many splendid ideas_for making artistic, aseful gifts in a little booklet we saw recently.

It describes many items for which there is not room here; for instance, bird hous- es, brush holders, cabi- _net work, doll furniture, “games of all kinds, dec- orative novelties, waste baskets; any number of useful attractive things. It’s so chuckfull of ideas that we feel sure our readers will be interested. It’s a real fountain of ideas for making really nice Christmas gifts; gifts that will have dm added value, “‘you made it yourself.”” ‘Those who know wall board, point out that Cornell-Wood-Board is better adap- ted to making these various things than any other product of its kind.

From start to finish the action is rapid and- produced on a massive scale, with superb characterizations and splendid photography, this picture deserves the success that will attend its premiere here. Wallace Reid is’ adequately sup- ported by Lili Lee as leading wo- man, Theodore Kosloff, Alan Hale, Kalla Pasha and other sterling play- ers. It is'a delightful photoplay in every. respect, the story dealing with love and revolution in Latin-Amer- ica, from the famous novel and stage play of the same name by Richard Harding Davis. An Educational two-part comedy (the spice of the program) entitled "“The Steeple Chasers” will add laughs to the program which starts at 7:15 p- m. HARD TO TRACE BEGINNING Custom of ‘Applying Christian and Sur-. name to Individuils Has Been” ' The -principal seurces from which surnames ‘are derived are personal characteristics, rank or profession, lo- calities,-animals or natural objects, or. patronymics. Surnames in many lan- guages are derived from the same sources. Thus, Black, White, Brown are with the Germans Schwartz, Weiss, Braugh; with the French, Lenoir, Le- blanc, Lebrun. The Gaellic prefix Mac, the Irish O’, the Norman-French Fitch, the German affix -shon or -son, the Scandinavian -sen, the Russian -vitch, are all equivalents of the English affix ~—SOn. It is Impossible to ascertain with any degree of certainty when the sys- tem of having one name for the indi- vidual (Christian or baptismal name) Joined to a second name which is com- mon to the family to which he belongs (surname) was adopted. Compounds in vames were often the result of applying a sobriquet to a Christian name—feor Instance, Little- John or Micklejohn. In most nations the wife changes her surname on marriage to that of her husband. In Spain, however, she re- tains it, while the son may adopt either the maternal or paternal name, i “BOW WOW” AT GRAND THEATRE ‘AGAIN TONIGHT Teddy’s loud “Bow Wow” Wwhich by the way is the title of the latest Mack Sennett comedy, summoned Louise Fazenda back to the screen.
