BUSINESS HONOR
A veteran travelling salesman was telling recently
about his experiences on the road. He was asked about
commercial graft and the use of improper influence to se
cure orders. The questioner related a story that had come
to him, about a member of a certain firm of architects in a
large city. This man had a wonderful gift for getting ord
ers. When he had his plans ready, he would invite some
builder whose contract he wanted, to a swell dinner at some
hotel. The wine would flow very freely, and at a late hour
the architect would come out with the signature on the dotted
line.
"See much of that kind of thing now? the salesman was
asked.
"No", was the reply. "The buyers of business concerns,
so far as I know them, do not commonly like to feel (fiat
they owe any obligation to salesmen, and they do not usually
care to accept invitations from them. I know buyers who
will not even accept a cigar from a salesman. They do not
want to get too friendly with him, or feel that they have
necessarily got to do anything for him in return."
"Of course there are some who are not so particular,
and some who are not straight at all. You -have to pass up
-thtrse fellows, and make up your mind you can not do busi-
-ness with everyone. I have had them ask me direct what
there was in it for tham personally. But those fellows are

- In the unceasing struggle between the individual and
the corporation for industrial supremacy the farmer is one

manufacturers and other producers but the farmer has dem-

' The idea that the farmer is a slipshod business man is
a delusion, W. I. Myers, Professor of Farm Finance of Cor-
nell University, told a group of America's leading business
men attending the annual meeting of the Chamber of Com

"IVie American farmer," he said, "is the most efficient

and a large surplus for export."
This is one reason why the corporation, which hns

'.'industrial friends, hns never been able to overcome the
farmer who is more efficient thnn the large-scale producer.

"There are 943 billions of feet of
standing timber in Oregon. This,
Douglas county, on .the paved Pa
cific highway, of over five thou
sand squaro miles and larger than
the state of Connecticut, has over
50 billion feet or one fortieth of all
the timber In the United States.
One can readily see that in timber
tracts of this size having hundreds
of swift, cold, streams running
through them, are the ideal spots
where tourists can really enjoy
themselves.
"These forests are for the use of
the entire American people. How
ever, they are In grave danger of
being destroyed each season by
fire. Already in Oregon there have
been tracts destroyed hy fire,
which it totalled would make a
timber area of over four million
acres and statistics show that hist
year we had 2,17 forest fires in
Oregon; 16H2, or 77 per cent of
them were man-caused. It Is the
man who Is heedless and careless
about his campflre. matches, cigar
ette butts, etc., that you and I
should guard against His fires
not only cost the government
(federal) thousands of dollars,
(which you help pay) but costs tho
state and private Interests millions.
And worst of all. they take human
life.
"All forest rangers will gladly
cooperate with tourists. They will
issue fire permit point out preil t
camping sitots, furnish maps and
look out for their general safety.
"And we, as Boy Svouts are also
at your service. Let us help you.
