Zone trouble with many young men
who start OUT in business is they try to
do too many things at once" says
Hetty Green, 1.-THE Richest Woman in
America" in the June Ladies' Home
Journal. "The result is that they
don't know as much as they ought to
about any one thing, and they natur-
all fail. The trouble with young men
who work on salaries is that they're
always afraid of doing more than
they're paid for. They don't enter in
to their work with the right spirit. To
get on and be appreciated a young
man must do more than he's paid TO
do. When he does something that his
employer has not thought of he shows
that he is valuable. Men are always
willing to pay good salaries to people
who will think of things for them.
The man who only carries out the
thoughts and ideas of another is moth
ing more than a mere tool. Men who
can be relied upon are always in de-
mand. The scarcest thing in the world
today is thoroughly reliable man."

A bushel of corn worth an ounce OF

A bushel of corn worth an ounce OF
silver Pretty near it. On May 7
corn was worth 45s cents bushel in
the New York market. Silver was
worth 59s cents on the same day. In
1896, at the time of Organic prophe-
cies as to free silver, corn was worth
only 2li cents on the farm. But it has
kept on advancing in price under the
gold standard.

The settlement OF the trust" ques-
tion is not political one, but it calls
for the concerted action and best judy
ment Of all Legislators. Whenever a
"trust" tends to impair the rights and
privileges OF citizens, it aims neither
at Republicans, Democrats nor Popu-
lists, but at all alike. Therefore the
representatives Of all the people should
join hands for the protection OF all.

THE PIANO CONTEST.

Winner.


Last Saturday night completed the
voting in the piano contest inaugural
ed by several business firms last jan

The Woodman lodge pooled issues
with the X. p in the earlier part OF
the contest, and it will be owned joint
ly by the two societies, both occupying
the same hall. The business men are
not very much pleased with the sue
cess of the scheme as trade help, and
we do not think they will be ready to
go into anything OF similar nature
again very soon. The BANNER is re-
quested in behalf OF the winners To

enabled them TO come out victorious
