The canvass to be made on Sunday is to raise money for the bad fret of the Sec ond Baptist Church -which, because of the increased congregation, -will neces sanly be larger than in the past. The total budget for the coming year has been set at 516.797, which is divided as follows: Salaries, music, $2,048: sundries, $2,445. ihe benevolence-budget is set at $12,000.

HOT ACCEPTED IN SOCIETY Salesmen Then Were Hounded from Pillar to Post, Sales Expert t1Ir Clnb of Salesmen, but the it Has Been Educated frorezsion How the traveling salesman has risen, within the past from a position of ignomi ny aj rj ere "drummer" to place in the first rnk speeted business" men, was told last night to the Salesmanship Urub ot ocn-. ester bv Ralph Starr Butler, wht is con- sidercd one of the country's best known sales experts.

Mr. Butler proved to the satisfaction of those who were in the Ad Club rooms that training had been responsible for the change. "The education of the sale.mian nss. dignified the rt of Mr. Butler said.

"The" average salesman of to-day isbigger and broader, and can produce far greater results than the salesman of twenty-five years ago. Then, the typical, salesman was the 'drummer' who was no ordinarily accepted in or as an equal in the business world. Has Come into His Own. The drummer of that era was hounded froiu pillar to post, and as the last man to be regarded in the circle in which he moved. Twenty-five years ago the salesman had no prestige, and the work of selling goods was not given an important place in the business world- Now one of the most important men iu i j.

business is the man wno aisposes ui iw If be is not sd reckoned, the business is -unsuccessful." That the salesman has come into bis own within the past twenty-five years was the theme of -Mr. Butler's talk. He-, named several "drummers who are known and respected the -world over, yrt who, he said, would have had to "take a back seat" a quarter of a century ago. Then he gave the reasons for the change. "The salesman of IStK)," he said, "was himself to blame for the fact that he was held in small regard, because he had done his best to inculcate in the public mind the thought that salesmanship was a profession that could do without training.

Men who were physically and men-, tally unable to succeed in anything else, took up the business of selling goods. Today the public is beginning to realize that not everybody can become a salesman that success in that profession implies training. Ability and Love of Job- "In the old days thCTe but three occupations that intrinsically commanded the -respect of the public medicine, the law and the Why was that so? Because of all the trades and bus-l inesses, those were the oniy ones that re- -quired a course of preparatory training. Salesmanship is a profession that absolutely needs, training as its foundation. It has not yet attained the eompletenes of system that the three ancient professions have, but it is on its way." mental qualities were needed to make a salesman, bufthat the1 man must have both.

Thewere ability or brains, and inclination the love; of selling. He named many other requisites of good salesmanship, but all of them, he believed, could be developed in an adequate course of training.

Ilasei dismissed the remaining six in-dictnents against the company and.sev-eral persons connected with itl The prosecution has cost the company, according to its estimates, about $250,000 and the government a proportionate amount, and a business that employed more than three hundred persons in Rochester has been wiped out.

"The cases of the government, against, the New York Institute of Science and the Cartilage Company: will not come up before the Marcfi term, said Clarence W. JlIcKay last evening.

Adkin. of Tittsford. one of the men under indictment in the Okola case, because he registered business as representative of a part owner, Charles H. of London, England, spoke yesterday in bitter terms of the attack on the three Companies. "The Okola Laboratories were eviwor- insr'more than three hundred people aiv-l doing a business in excess of annually," he said.

"Events have prove that it was not an illegal busmen, yet the business was ruined over night because Postomce Inspector O. B. William son saw fit to fije charges against it. There is no redress. The owners niut shoulder the losses of thousands and say nothing." "Will the business be resuscitated? was asked.

"I believe so Sf the mail fraud order against the company is -he replied. "It seems strange that the order stands after the collapse of the government's case last fall, but itjs still in effect." Manufactured Eye Remedy. The Okola Laboratories manufactured a compound that was advertised as a remedy for weak, watery and overworked eyes. The concern did a large mail-order business up to June, 1913, when indictments alleging conspiracy to defraud and misuse of the mails were handed up by a Federal The indictments named the three firms mentioned and the lng individuals: -Charles ciarK, Katherine McCormick, Dr. John S.

Dakota Moves Them, to Hold. Celebration. That New York suffragists bad better look to their laurels was the opinion expressed, by Mrs. Helen Probst Abbott at a' jubilation meeting, yesterday in woman suffrage headquarters, No. 628 Mercantile building.

The cause 'of celebration was the addition of North Dakota to the list of equal-suffrage, states. "North Dakota has beaten us to it," said Mrs. Abbott. "New York- will not be the first state to get its, suffrage bill through its Legislature in 1917. Two bills.

one for partial and' one for full suffrage, have been carried through the two houses of North Dakota, which is now the thirteenth suffrage' state. Other hopeful events enumerated by Mrs. Abbott were: Suffrage amendment bills under consideration in both Caro-linas; a joint 'resolution to amend the state Constitution so as to permit com- plete suffrage for women, before the Illinois Senate; and the introduction of a presidential suffrage bill into the Minnesota Legislature. Governor Carl E. Milliken, of Maine, Pennsylvania, have urged woman- suffrage upon their states this year in inaugural addresses," Mrs.

Abbott added. 1 rir DRAINAGE SURVEY DELAYED Weather Holding1 Back Making of Maps for Annexing1 Territory. i Preparation of topographical maps showitif the drainnce Ievel on both the easrt ana west siae or xne river nss Dees delayed by. the weather, according to City Engineer-El wood.
