By FRANK JENKINS
IF you are a salesman, here Is
something that will interest you:
A survey was recently made to
determine how many calls the av
erage salesman makes on his pros
pect before he gives it up as a bad
job. The survey covered 1000 buy
ers In large retail concerns. It
showed, as to salesmen, these re
sults: 18.2 per cent made one call and
quit.
21.4 per cent made two calls and
quit.
14.7 per cent made three calls
and quit.
12.5 per cent made four calls and
quit.
KTOTE this, for it is highly im
portant: These buyers, checking up on
their own experience, discovered
that SIXTY PER CENT of their
merchandise was bought from
salesmen on their FIFTH call, or
later.
TMIERE is an old rule of sales-
manship that goes something
like this:
The mediocre salesman who
falls on every possible prospect
tvery possible time will get more
business than the (lOOO salesman
Mia FAILS to call on every pos
sible prospect every possible time.
Perseverance, you see, PAYS.
A FEW days ago this writer ad
vised GOOD poultrymen, who
KNOW THEIR. BUS1NKSS, to
STAY in the business tills year,
regardless of present discotiraglng
ly low prices of eggs.
Along that line. The Eggsaminer,
official magazine of the Pacific Co
operative Poultry Producers, says
in its latest issue:
"The International Rahy Chick
association reports baby chick or
ders only 35 per cent of normal all
over the nation.
"Laying fowls all over the coun
try are being marketed at a rale
throe limes as heavy as usual.
"The department of agriculture
reports a much lighter poultry
population In all sections except
the Pacific coast,
"Consumption of eggs has reach
ed a point where it is probably the
heaviest in marketing history."
nPHIOSE factors, The Eggsaminer
concludes, point, definitely to
this conclusion: Egg prices next
fall and winter will be favorable,
and all poultrymen who can carry
themselves through the season
with a normal capacity of young
stock should have no hesitancy In
doing so.
yilK poultry business is peculiar,
in that people can get into it
and out of it quickly.
Short-sighted people get Into the
poultry business AT THE TOP,
when ANY change is apt to be a
change for the worse, and are in
clined to get out of it at the bot
tom, when any change is apt to be
a change for the better.
Jongcr-hoaded, shrewder -people
who go into the poultry business
STAY In it year In and year out,
taking their losses in the bad years
and making up for them In the
good years.
It is the STICKERS who usually
make good in any business.
pvOUGLAS is rising rapidly in !m
portance as a poultry county.
A few years ago it was down to
ward the bottom; now it is up to
ward the top.
This rise has been based upon
favorable natural conditions that
keep our costs low. We have thfc
mildest climate on the Pacific
coast, and hens LAY BETTER In
mild climates. Because of tbe mild
ness of our climate, we can be sure
of greeri feed all winter, which is

The high spots in Wednesday's

tax from real property until an

CHEYENNE, Wye Feb. 19
Governor,, Frank C. Emerson of
Wyoming died suddenly last night
after a heart attack attributed to
a five day illness from pneumonia.
He was 48 years of age.
A. M. Clark, secretary of state,
said he would issue a nraclamatioit
today declaring a vacancy in the
governorship and at the same time
declare himself acting governor
until a successor is chosen at the
stale election in 1932. Both Clark
and Governor Emerson belonged
to the repuhlican party.
The state legislature, which was
In night session, recessed when
word of the govei-nor's death was
conveyed to the members.
Governor Emerson was the sec
ond Wyoming chief executive to
die in office within a period of
about seven years. Governor Wil
liam B. Ros? died in office in 192-t.
J)iJlgpnce in pursuing his voca
tion as an engineer played a major
roe in Governor Emerson's rapid
rise in Wyoming politics. His
work on numerous engineering
projects in the stale Irom 1W4
until 1919 resulted in his appoint
ment as state engineer.
Horn in Saginaw, Mich., May 2f,
1882, Governor Emerson received
an engineering degree from the
University of Michigan in 1904,
and came to Wyoming the same
year. In 1910 he was married to

uate of the MichiRan university.
Surviving him are his widow and
three sons.

Georgia, October 9, 1779. Tills day
is observed in 15 states In the
Tnion. Upon the failure of the
hill to pass, by a good majority,
Senator Woodward rose to his feet
and said: "That will be ail right,
gentleman. When ! see Mr. Pul
aski in the hereafter I will tell
bim how It was."
The so-called basic seclence bill,
which came up as a special order
of business in the senate Wednes
day morning, failed to pass by one
vote. The voting did not take place
until Senators Vpmn and Ilennett
had shed themselves of their dally
mutual panning. It Is an observ
able fact that these two senators
can usually he found on opposite
sides of the fence. Thfir Ideas are
as far apart as the poles and there
isn't exactly a loving bond of sym
pathy between them.
This legislature could surely
make use of a good clinic of den
tisls. Some member is constantly
telling how he is eoine to put
some teeth in or take tome teeth
out of a measure. Sometimes It
would seem that the wisdom teWh
are the first ones extracted.

Bill Expected to Receive
Governor's Signature ;
Eddy Labels Plan 1
"Socialism.
(Associated Prr Leaned Wire) '
SALEM, Feb. 13. The free text
book bill passed the senate today
by a vote of 17 to 13. Since the
bill conforms to a campaign policy
urged by Gorernor Julius L. Meier
it is apparently certain that he
will sign the bill. It will become
part of the state's educational ma
chinery 90 days after it' receives
the governors signature.
The bill, as amended by the
house committee and previously ap-
provea ny mat notiy, eliminates
high schools from its benefHa, but
provides (hat all putHs of public
elementary schools shall be sup
plied with state-owned text books.
The cost of the state uould not ex
ceed $1.50 per pupil a year.
Eddy Criticizes.
Senator H. L. Eddy said that free
text books naj "simply another
step towards paternalism and so
cialism and a getting away from
the principle of self-leiai. The
whole trend of our national gov
ernment Is in that direction, but
we should get away from it as far
as possible by avoiding such legis
lation as this.' He asserted that a
time when no step baa been taken
towards relieving rne property tax
payers was not a time to vote fur
thftr'taxes through a free text-lacfok
bill.
Abstract Measure Slim.
The house defeated, after more
than an hour's debate, the abstract
