Much irritation is always caused which could,
by using accurate phrase have been avoided.
1t is always well to say little less rather
than little more than what is meant In business
we'll in social intercourse all hard adjectives
should be avoided It is always far better to put
your proposition little bit below that which you
wish to say than to have it too strong for the
sion, and it will frequently avoid quarrels that arise
between men, due to lnaccuracy Of statements which
perhaps were entirely foreign to the speakers
intentions.

SINCE the larger corporations have begun con-
solidatng into immense combines, public agitation
on the topic of labor and employment has in
creased and various theories advanced by the
press as to the outcome of the labor market. By
many it is urged that the laborer will become
what of slave, dependent on the will of masters Of
industry, employed when and on the conditions
bosses are pleased to allow Further, that the pos
sibility of aborer becoming an individual
proprietor will be next to impossible.
Conceding that all this dependence exists, we
still find that capital is of no value to possessor
unless employed to SERVICE either in business for
pleasure purposes. Capital will always seek prof
liable investment. Investment will create the
demand for labor. Those who do accumulate wealth
by their industry are the men who sought after
in the labor market and who more frequently derive
larger income in salary than they would under
former individual proprietorship About the only
men upon which the modern commercial world adds
hardships those Of slouchy unkempt, careless
habits. The honest and faithful worker will always
be in demand. The labor market to the tillers
of the soil, is brought down to system and is
restricted to the of some skill and true worth
Among compainers and the employed now are
found those who are waiting for soft snap, those
who dictate terms, those who demand the salary Of
an old hand and the besotted individual whose
presence is not desired tiller of the EARTH
To the industrious and faithful worker the man of
true WORTH present commercial conditions offer
better opportunities than at any previous time.
