Interment was made in the Logue Cemetery, Wednesday. September 12 1906, School Books State Printer, T. A. McNeal, in a special to the Kansas City Journal, Sept. 10 is made to say: "The state is already getting text books for the schools," he said, "about as cheaply as they can be made, We could not make a profit on the business during the first year, but after that we could make money.

We would have to make the plates the first year and this would take all of the profits. We have facilities for doing the business and we could take care of all of the schools after we were in running order." T. A. McNeal is saving the State thousands of dollars as state printer. Ho is the right man in the right place and we would like see the 'Text books used by the school children of Kansas, printed by the state, while he is in charge of the work.

If not profitable under his management there would be no use experimenting further.

By retering to the list of names of Neosho Falls visitors Saturday Sept.1 it will be seen that they came from near Northeotte on the north to Vernon on the southwest and shows conclusively what our merchants could do if they would make a determined effort at getting the people to come to Neosho Falls to do their trading. If one or two families near LeRoy, Northcott, Geneva, Vernon and Piqua see the advantage of trading with Neosho Falls merchants, why not more of them? Our answer to that question is, more people would come to Neosho Falls if the proper inducements were offered.

The highest market price should be paid for the product of the farm. This one item alone would bring many farmers to Neosho Falls. Some article or commodity, used by the farmer or his family, should be offered each Saturday, at a reduction in price, for the day only. If a farmer living ten miles north of Yates Center and practically the same distance west from Neosho Falls, sees where he can save 25c by going to the one town or the other, on his regular day for going to town he will save the 25c, if we are not badly mistaken. In connection with this subject we wish to relate an incident that occurred while the editor was in the employ of the late H.

H. Winter, banker at Yates Center. A gentleman applied to Mr. Winter for a loan and we expressed our surprise that the application was granted, the reason for our surprise being that the applicant lived nearer Eureka than to Yates Center and should have gone to that city for his loan. Mr, Winter's reply showed the broad and open way he had of looking at business matters.

He said in substance, "the loan is a good one and will bring another man to Yates Center to trade, SO I gave him a better rate than the Eureka banks offered." Mr. Winter's theory was, that to build up the town in the matter of trade was indirectly helping his own business, and he was right. We are not quoting Mr. Winter because of the line of business he was engaged in, but to show the business principle upon which he worked. Mr Winter was a man of good business discernment and was quick to see a point of advantage.

He adopted a policy that he knew would bring trade to his town. It is easy to see, if the merchants of the town worked in harmony with him and adopted his policy, the town would have been greatly benefitted in the way of trade. In a small town. such as Neosho Falls, when one Nne of business is represented by one man or one firm only, competition is eliminated and those in controll may have considerable influence in the matter of holding trade or driving it away by their methods of business. We distinctly remember when a few short months ago, certain parties were howling at the "Post" "Why don't you boom the town?" The only boom the town needs is good, straight, honorable business men, merchants who will charge honest, living, prices and do as they ask to be done by, by buying at home articles of consumption not handled by themselves.

There should be harmony among our business men. Each should work to build up his OWD particular business always saying a kind word for his competitor as that too will help the town in which we all feel a community of interest A harsh and unjust criticism may prove a boomerang and return to strike the originator in the face. A united effort on the part of the business men would undoubtedly result in bringing more trade to Neosho Falls. A business man who will not advertise is narrow in his business methods. He may transact some business by catching a part of the trade that more enterprising men bring to town, but his is a "dead beat" policy and unworthy of any man laying claims to good business sense.

We believe in and advocate advertising methods, not because we are in the publishing and advertising business, but on the principle of efficiency. It every. merchant and business man in town would stop ad vertising what would be the effect? There is no doubt but what the first result would be a falling off in trade. We are honest in this belief. The second result would be the bankruptcy of the non advertiser, the "catch aS catch can," business wrestler.

He would be floored early in the game and would hardly know what happened to him. The town would decrease in population and empty houses increase in proportion. Of course the one newspaper in the town would suffer more than any other one business and in all probability go out of business, and we hear some of our self appointed administrators and executors saying "small loss to the community," but as a matter of fact, at this stage of the supposed case some one would circulate a petition to raise money with which to start a newspaper. that the outside world might know there was such a town in existence. Are not these facts? If they are why not build up our town by oh! he oh! all together" pull, and make life worth living in Neosho Falls.
