If n .i fct n U , v0 mn,l business this I " l"l- " an omers uiu as wen, urat ". Rummer. "Here is the way I work in one day," he said. "I start out and travel perhaps 'M miles, and make half a dozen calls in one city. Then I travel another hour to the next town, and make as many calls. Then again I travel another hour, and make a lot more calls, and finally come home. When I get back I am so tired mentally and physically that I have not the energy to stir out of the house, even if a line entertainment comes along." He went on to speak of how competition is fiercer today than ever, and it takes more determination to sell goods, but it can be done. "Often," he said, "I will go through a town and not sell a dollar. A man is tempted under such conditions' to lose his nerve. Uut I swing into the next city with a note of victory and achievement, and give an impression of hope and prosperity. Otherwise those customers of mine would get a touch of the blues and would not order a thing. It's a test of a man's morale, but those that keep this mental courage are selling the goods." That is the spirit that brings success. Efficient sales work tends to remove the hesitation and over caution which exists in a period like this. Many traveling salesmen got into easy going habits duringthe long period of inflation, and it is hard for them to recover their former swift stride. The sales forces of stores are a larger factor in the prosper ity of this community. If they are wide awake, active, cheerful, personally interested in their customers, keeping their wits and brains working all the time to produce new trade, they are going to stimulate the trade of the city and do their share to promote an active business year in the country- Advertisers who are taking advantage of the wide county circulation of the News-Review are enjoying a good, healthy spring business. If you want to "shake hands" with about nine tenths of the people of this county there is no surer or better way than to use the advertisimr columns of this paper. It reaches approximately 20,000 readers every day and no other daily paper in the state with a like circulation supplies its patrons with a lower rate per inch for advertising. There are lots of good papers that charge a higher rate with a less number of copies each issue. I!ut this condition is exactly reversed by the News-Review our customers get the big end of the advertising game and a service unequalled by any other city the size of Ro.seburg. tj A prominent bonding company recently stated the belief that automobiles are the most important factor in inciting the wave of crime that has prevailed for the past two years. The problem pf getting away from the scene of a crime has been made far easier by the speed with which the crooks can jump into a car and soon be far away. This is the penalty that civilization has to pay for its improvements. When you create a wonderful facility for the benefit of humanity, the rascals of the world immediately put it to work to help out their scoundrelism. But the answer is to beat them out with their own game. Equipping police forces with mo torcycles which can usually overtake an automobile, must do a good deal to offset this advantage gained by the criminal element. o s. Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuikle has at last been acquitted of the i-tAJ, J.I II pIWg-aa Baseball Oracle Selects Giants, or Cards, Yanks to Win 1922 Flags charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Virginia Kappe. The erstwhile movie star says he will "go with his wile for a long rest in the south," after which it is intimated he will return to pictures. Arbuikle may not have been guilty of the charges preferred against him in the eyes of the trial jury, but if lie attempts to "come back" to the movie arena he will have no trouble to discover that he is a "dead Indian" in the eyes of his former millions of admirers. "Fatty" will have to look to other avenues of escape from the recent damaging notoriety attached to his career. , liy nn occasional (time of rummy In M-li'dliiR t'BKH for coloring nl nji lie Hiire to pick a rli one.
