Rtal That Salesmanship la a Light : Can't Ba Obscured. The trass wants lookers, because be knows the lookur of today la tbe buyer of tomorrow und he wants to make the lookers feel tout bis store is "the bust place to trade." which is only on- other way of say Ins that It U the best place to do one's . looking. He also knows that tbe looker of today can sometimes be converted Into a buyer before the day Is over. All be requires to accomplish what be desires la sales manship among bis salespeople. Does be et It? Not from all of tbeiu. If be did there would be less need for commissions to Inquire labo riously Into tbe relation between shop girls' wages und shopgirls' chastity, for real .salesmanship will net tbe moioy wherever It Is practiced and by whomsoever It la practiced. Real sales manship Is one light that can't he bid den under., u bushel. It's a light that can't be obscured. It's a light that will shine above department beads and floorwalkers nud reach clear up to "the old man" lu his private office. 'If you i keep It burning long enough. What Is salesmanship?

IP I -'W Tha Hani Hen Said1 to Bs a Wondar In ' a Short 8purt. ; la tbe fastest game bird that ! ! WJwt l . flies? Of course. In seeking an answer J to the question, as a writer lu the Scotsman points out, oue must assume J equal couditious of atmosphere and ; cause for flight for all creutures, bu- ! man or other, seek their highest rute l ! of speed under the Influence of fear. A recent writer declares that In a race of. say, 200 yards be would buck a bird which, though not found In Brit ain, is Indigenous to most of the rest of Europe und is esHvIally familiar in Scandinavia the tanisel ben or gell uotte. '. Yet. curiously enough, this is one of tbe forest haunting birds which, like tbe American "fool ben," usually fly ! up into a tree when flushed and, re- j jecting further attempts at escape. ; elect to be shot sitting. "But," says tbe writer .referred to above, "on the rare occasions mud that they are rare I 'readily admit) when one catches a gell notte in the open I have never seen any bird fly so fast nor move Its wings with such extraordinary rapidity." Next to it at any rate one must sure ly place tbe teal, which bas a inarvel ous knack of getting under way quick ly. Some experienced observers would give tbe third place to a bluerock pig eonthe wild, not tbe Hurlingbam variety. FOR SALE Two good brood sows and one boar. Phone Red 3372. 2-ll,12t,p.
