Emma carried the ham all the way home and put it in the refriger ator to cool. Meat was expensive, and the thought of a roast of fresh ham made her happy. She was at peace with the world when she went to bed that night. Early the next morning she woke up in confusion. That peculiar sound again. Water, going rapidly round and round in a drain. No! It couldnt be! She sat up. There wasnt another pig anywhere that sounded quite like that. She bounded out of bed and hit the floor with a thud.

It was two miles back to their shack at the edge of the swamp, but Emma was a hearty woman, and she loved the walk through the fields and wood lots. Several of the Slatterly children were playing around the cabin. They were handsome children, In spite of their dirty, unkempt appearance. "Where's your Dad? said Emma shortly to the oldest boy, "Paw!" yelled the boy. Ed Slatterly appeared at the door of a shed behind the house. He was small, wizened man.

He compliments his customers. They like it so much they buy from him. They also form an attachment to him which makes it next to Impossible for a competitor to come in and make sales. All great leaders from the beginning of the world have found that if they can compliment others properly and judiciously they are employing an aid which is beyond price it is so valuable. When you compliment a person, it shows that you are interested in him and want to please him. In you that person sees a reflection of his own desires. And thats what makes us like others a reflection of the things we like most in ourselves. Of course I am not recommending flattery. When a compliment degenerates, it becomes mere flattery; it is not a boon but a handicap to friendship. You cant trust flattery. We feel we can trust compliments. This salesman I am telling you about never makes the mistake of flattering his customers. "What I try to do with every man is find out what he wants to hear about himself, he explained. "I never compliment him upon things that are obvious that others compliment him upon. About those things he gets tired of hearing. But all of us yearn to have somebody tel us about some other excellence of ours one that isnt quite so obvious." That is a shrewd observation on human nature. I remember reading how bored John D. Rockefeller was when complimented upon his business success. He wanted to hear something else. The thing he want-eto hear was prais about his d household economies. And Andrew Carnegie wasnt nearly so proud of having given away so many millions of dollars as he was of his ability as a public speaker. The point I am making is that if you want your compliments to do the most good you have to ferret out little things which the other person would like to hear somebody say about him. The next thing my salesman friend does is to make his compliments ring true. He isnt fulsome about them ever. He is truthful. He can go into any company and be liked and popular because in any company he finds something nice to compliment everybody upon. The reason he finds these things is that he looks for them. There isnt any reason why you shouldnt do Jrt as much is there? M... cu- - ;'cRrt WgUa.HUn nH, r,ckson C'HAMPION Plowmen know that the performance of their tractor tires can make a plow ing match.
