A traveling salesman was giving an interesting picture the

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.

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.

Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuikle has at last been acquitted of the
i-tAJ, J.I II pIWg-aa

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.
