6 What Are You Doi\ Are By W. C. Weaver in The Trade Expen sion Journal. I am afraid there are many merch ants today in the same posotion as dealer that I found in Ohio recentlj This merchant was roosting, and h had been roosting so long that it wa hard to make him see It was dayligh and time to wake up and crow, doubt if I should have gone to se him at all had it not been for a chanc remark of a salesman I overheard i a store across the street from hi place. What the salesman said dosn' matter here but it aroused my curio? lty. I wanted to see this man Barnes 80 crossing overl eyed his how win dows a few minuets and went in. probably spent ten minuets lookim around through the store before eith er one of the four clerks approachei me. "If you are looking for Mr. Bar nes," he said, "you may have to wai some time, and besides isn't buyini anything: he is full up 011 everything About this time a farmer and hi wife came in and asked about a cer tain shade of dress goods. They had 1 B&rnple of the shade wanted but 110 thing near it was in stock they wen told. Without futher questioning the; were allowed to depart. I foliowe< them outside and found they ha< hitched to a pole in front of the ston Here thy debated a few minuets am decided to go down the street after looking over a printed circular tin man finished from his pocket. ! watched them until they entered * nflU' Rfnrp nnn that T hud vkltpd Ir the day that was owned by two younj men. Knowing the young men. I fol lowed along, and had no trouble get ting one of them back In the offlct and explained to him how Interested I was knowing how much the couph bought and asked him to phone mc the amount down to Barnes' store When I got back Barnes was back in the little office, but before I could hardly introduce myself he said: "Sorry full up on everything." ] knew this without his telling me bill I asked when ho was going to need something. "Don't know: business in this town is dead," and then he wailed about too many stores in the town the mail order houses were takinp away the business etc.?the usual talk from such merchants that I encountered in some town almosl daily. Family I said: Mr. Barne dc you know why you are full up and don't need anything? I'll tell you; you're roosting roosting roosting., "What do you mean?" he almost yelled. The loud talking had attracted t hu lint T^'trnnc rrw*t Inn ai\ llmt 1 away and then turning wanted tr know what I wanted to sell him "Nothing: you don't need anything: you're full up," I told him, and ther naked him if he remembered the dress salesman that had called on hire and what he said to the salesman "Well, look at that rack; I don't need any dresses," and then he started again about the dull business. He sto pped to answer the telephone, and said someone wanted to speak to me I asked him to take the message an The First Newspaper Publsthed Oct 11, 1621. October marked an important anni versary in the history of jouralisir for it was on the eleventh of Octobei in the year 1621, that the first rea r wspaper in the English languag< was published, says The Milwaukee Sentinel. This pioneer newspaper was tin progenitor of some 25,000 newspapei and periodicals, now regularly pub Hshed in the English language. Ol these abut 20,000 are published ir the United States, 10,000 in Ureal P itain, and over 1,000 each in Canada and Australia, and the remaindei in Africa, India and other parts ol the world. As the newspapers of the world total only about 60,000 inorf than half art' printed in English. Unltl a few months ago it wai thought that the first English newspaper was The Weekly News, published in 1622. a ropy of whieh is preserved in the Brltism Musuem. Jusl recently there has been found in tin collection of'frales Feleky, of New York a copy of Th Ceo rant of Weekly News for Italy Germany Hungary Polonia Bohemia, France and the Low Countries, wich hears the imprint, "London, printed for N. B. October 11, 1621. Out of the Low Hutch ooppy." This indicates that the newspaper depended for its news on the journals which had been establish ed some time.before in Holland and Germany. The pioneer English newspaper contained only foreignes, a/ it was dangerous proceeding to con nient on domestic matters. The editoi i behind the intitials "N. B." and issupi and publisher concealed bis identity i posed to have been either Nathnie] % Ruttertao intaoin taointaointaoinin % whom were a little later openly con iliected with London journalism. It is likely that the efadlt for Tin Corant belongs to Nathaniel Butter w ho Joined the' staff of The XVeeklj N'ewes after the failure of The Cour { nt of the man who may thus be call ed "the father of English jojrunalism F. N. Hunt saysr in liis "English Jour nalism." Ullnttn. ? - ?

No claim for verj groat orignielty or genius can be pui in for Butter. His merit consists Ir the simple fact that, he was the flrsi to print what had long been written to put into type what he and others had been accustomed to supply ir manuscript; the first to give the news letters of his time the one character is tic feature which has disguisher newspaper ever since. He offered th< public a printed sheet of news to b< published at stated and regular inter vals usually a week apart nnc . . . .numbered in regular succeslon as are the newspapers of today. Hold Ing to this description of what a new* paper Is and on the authority of th< earliest printed papers in the publh libraries to Nathaniel Butter belong! rig? Boosting or Roosting\ he passed me a slip on which he ha< written $42.50, across which I wrot i- "boosting." handled it back to him a and asked him to go to the door am r. see the package the farmer was load e ing into his buggy. Still he (Nd n'o a understand the meaning of poostini t and boosting but he understands to 1 day. e 1 This happened about three week e before the big flood in Ohio, but if i n affected Barnes as much as the cthe s mercnnnis in town, i naa noining u t sell Domes, and nothing to gain b; i- staying over the i:?xt day with him ?, o?her than the satisfaction of showiui i- him the difference between roostini I and boosting. To the surprise of th g whole town there appeared a double e page advertisement from Dames il store in the little home paper th - next monning. It cost more than al t the space used during the previou g six months. I helped arrange th ;. copy, and also helped out the sell b ing prices on some of the stock tha - had had been stowed away so loni a no record of cost prices could b< - found, and close margins of prof! e were marked on all the new stocks y No exaggerated statements were pu 1 into the advartisement. Plain fact 1 were stated. I told the people tha s it was a sale intended to turn all th< 1 odds and ends, including everythlnj , in the store into cash, and that thei s own Judgment of real bargains woult I show them values that never wen v equaled in the city, and every wort i was tru feact. ; I sat in the back part of the ston - the next afternoon in the little office - One of the newspaper boys was baci ; there with me. Darnes took the tinn 1 to push through the crowd, rusl 1 through the crowd, rush back am 3 point to his box of crgars, and say: . | "Say, Weaver, yesterday I was roost i ! ing." "Tell me," said the news I paper man, " what dope did you giv? 1 Darnes and listen to that old casl t i register out there." Then I told him what the dresi I salesman had said that caused me ,t( i call on Darnes. I told him about tin farmer and his wife that had brouglr the circular to town they had receiv r f1 ?lw. .ln..,n <1.. I street, how Barnes clerks had le them leave the storf, and how th? new store had sold them a rash bil > of $4 2.50. every Item of which Barnes I had In stock, all onvhich I had ex plained to Barnes, and, more, how went through the stocks and pointet - out to Barnes the dead stock he was 1 carrying, how all this dead stocV i could be turned into cash. I told hin i , to stop roosting, and start to boost . ' lng, tell the people today what yoi | have. I told him to tell 'em tomor i ! row, and keep on telling them. Don' > | stop in the town. Tell the farmers i and keep o nand on boost boost? . which means advertise, use big space I and talk to these people in this spaci L Just as though you had them all rlgh - here. Given them honest values, brigl 1 ten up wake up, stop roosting. "And to think that I believed him i dead one," said the newspaper man . the renown of being foremost as i newspaper projector. . . .
