Robert Hall used to say Of early
rising that the real question was not
what time you get up. bat what you do
when you are up; and, in the same
way, it should be remembered that 10
keep your appointment is infinitely
less important than to be able to do
your business when you have kept IT,
It is. generally speaking. better to do
a thing well and late than to do IL
punctually and IN. 1t is important not
only to admit this. but TO dwell upon
Il, because the minor qualities are
much better able 10 plead their own
cause than the greater ones. The ef-
fects OF real ability and sound judg-
ment are often slow. and not immedi-
ately obvious. The effect of punctual-
ity is instantaneous. II produces
direct and Immediate agreeable results
to all the parties concerned. IL greases
the wheels Of life sensibly and effectu-
ally and thus frequently obtains a
degree Of credit which is far from de-
serving There are, on the other hand
many cases in which the highest quail
ties are lavishly employed upon re-
suits Of which the Importance is never
tested. A man may wisely employ
deep thought and great mental labor in
providing for contingencies which may
after all. not arise. or which he may
prevent so effectually as to discredit
the very precautions by which he pre-
vented them. II this Is done in SLOW
enly and dilatory manner the only inn
preston conveyed to those who are
aware Of the fact will be unfayorable:
whilst foolish measures. the absurdity
Of which is undetected by the event
will often, II punctually carried out,
give a man high character for pru-
dence and energy. In days like these
when the mechanism OF life has been
so greatly improved, and when there
is comparatively little room for the
exhibition OF the larger individual
qualities, the smaller ones are invested
with greater practical importance than
they ever possessed before; and thus
It becomes doubly necessary TO remem-
Der that their only real value is de-
rivatiye. and that they have no more
power to do the business Of life than
a pulley has to lift a weight All
that they can do is to regulate the d.
rection and expenditure Of the force

mosi poorly paid, while those con-
nocted with the theaters aal with
music have done the best Brick and

average only sl.10 per day, or
1929 for the year. while the followers
Of the theaters and makers Of music
have received 1928 a day, or 1886 for

high in the list with an aver
age annual income OF sS79. Glass
workers earned during 1900 some
$780, and the building trades Jared
worse with $74S each. The work
classified as malt liquor and min
eral water trades yielded but s706,
the rest falling below the $700
mark. The trades connected with
woodworking and furniture-making,
which are commonly supposed to be
fairly profitable, received only s67l.

Tn industrial outlook in California
Is very fair, although ii seems just
now to be in the nature of an embar-
rassment OF riches. The production
Of oil there is increasing at such rate
over the needs Of the state that the
question Of marketing the surplus is
imminent. Oil can not be shipped east
because OF the cost OF transportation.
To the north in Oregan and Washing
ton and also British Columbia there
are coal beds that make the shipment
Of oil there Improbable To the south
and east is Arizona. which already Is
an oil producer. while Colorado and
Utah have fine anthracite and bitumi-
nous coal mines, and so until a market
can be found in the far east across

will languish unless an increased use
for It at home can be developed. But
oil is not the only undeveloped re-
sources Of this wonderful state. 1t has
great deposits Of low grade ores that
can be worked with cheap fuel. It
has iron, lead. zinc and copper, gran
tie. marble. sandstone and limestone

1t has been suggested In Iowa TO
make the children Of paupers charges
Of the state. The proposition is that
the law give to boards the control Of
children OF parents calling for support
or who might become wards Of the
county, the application for help being
an acknowledgment Of the inability to
care for the children as they should
be cared for and prima facle evidence
that they are willing to surrender the
children to the care Of the board. But
the suggestion is meeting with the
earnest opposition Of labor organiza-
tions, which contend that many per-
sons asking and needing help are
brought to II because Of circumstances
over which they have no control and
that such people hold their children
as dear as people who have means. and
that to make their condition Of power
ty a cause for depriving them Of their
children would be extreme cruelty. Il
is also contended that the rule would
make deserving people suffer extreme
misery rather than apply for help.
and hence the proposed law would
work evil instead Of good in many d.
rec. ions.-Indianapolis News.
