African Rubber a Big Success.

Africa, owing to the enterprise of
the Germans, promises to become a
strong rival of South America in the
production of rubber. A German
planting company has purchased the

bank of the Mongo river, where rub
Der trees were first discovered by. DIR.

the product of these trees bears re-
markable resemblance to Para rubber
and brings good prices in the Ham
burg market.
The number of rubber trees al
ready planted by the company ex-
ceeds 100000. The colonial division
of the German foreign office has sent
out descriptions and pictures of the
trees, with requests that the people
protect the wild trees when found and
plant others. Because of the greater
profit in rubber. the people of the col

Meeting Emergencies.

Some managers are like oil on
troubled waters and are successful If
things move along all right, but If
condition requiring original and
rapid thought comes up they fall
down. Other managers are like peb-

their unlimited natural strength they

cessful. A good manager Is balance
wheel, causing the business to move
steadily, not too fast nor too slow.
But he becomes more than. that, as
he advances in intelligence, turning
out better products day after day. His
success is dependent upon his man
ner and methods, knowledge and en-
ergy, health and continued growth.
His ability must be going upward

Learning Methods.
A quarter of a century ago / went
with a playmate to factory where
his uncle was polishing ferrules. The
uncle handed me a ferrule, but some
thing in my playmate's face caused
me to refuse it. After we got away
from the sparks and noise l asked
what was the matter with the ferrule
and he told me it was hot l in
quired how it was his uncle could
hold it, and he said that his uncle
held it on two fingers, and then two
other fingers, changing back and

Systematic Investigation.

The reading of men has much to
do with the correct management of
men. 1t is easy to coax man to do
something he is able to do, but an
energetic manager can get many men
to accomplish more and better work
in quantity and quality than they
could if left to themselves. If you
want to be better manager you must
become better acquainted with your
self and learn how to analyze others
as a chemist would analyze an I'M
known liquid. Some books will help
you a little, but observation will help
you more, and the suggestions Of
friends and enemies will become the
most useful of all. A course of pri-
vate, systematic investigation for re-
suits must be taken up, either con-
sciously or unconsciously. Some men
think day and night without effort
and of course they succeed. Other
men decide they will think more care
fully; they plan how to think and
what to think about, and know all the
time that they are thinking; these
men succeed also.

Securing BUSINESS.

The expense of securing business is
one of the uncomfortable things in
many lines of work Here is a college
with buildings, instructors and an en-
dowment suitable for four hundred
students, yet they have only one hun
dred and seventy-fve. No one doubts
there being two hundred and twenty
five students in the legitimate terri
tory of the college, each of whom
would be greatly benefited by the in
struction and who could and would
attend If the subject were rightly pre-
sented to them. A correct presenta-
ton of the subject requires genuine
ability Of a special order. The man
who can secure the most business
may not be able to make an intelli-
gent report for his employer regard
ing his work A Chicago instructor
told me about a two-dollar-a-day man
who did not know what to do with
himself. but who finally drifted to
South America and secured 100000
worth of business for a certain con-
Germ. after which his employer put
him on a salary of $4,000 a year to
handle foreign business.

Arcade Reports
for Employers

A brigadier general in the world of
finance had an idea that a railroad
would be built through his neighbor-
hood some day by some one. In
order to have share in the profits
he decided to build a piece of road
about sixty miles long and he went
at it without charter. By his own
personality he won the owners of the
land and when an obstinate individual
would attempt to hold him up for
certain piece of the right of way he
would have simple conversation
with him and things would be ar
ranged just as he wanted them. 9th
ers knew what he was doing and they
started occasional troubles among the
workingmen, which the bosses were
unable TO handle; but this man of
skill would go among the men and
in half an hour everything would be
working satisfactorily. He finished
his road, which connected nothing
with nothing, and little later it be-
came link in a railway chain which
connected two important cities and
is now part of A. large trunk system.

Collecting Accounts.

The collection of small accounts by
mail is probably one of the most diff
ficult things for any one to attempt.
A good letter is always better than
poor collector. and it may be that
a good collector will do still better
work than good letter. A man
writes to me that he had office-men
who could collect down to three per
cent by letter while others were not
able to set below fifteen per cent. He

NIT Statements


The Hague, Oct. 22-United States
Minister Bowen and Judge ". L. Pen
field, solicitor of the United States
Bowen in the Venezuelan negotiations
before The Hague tribunal, have sub
mitted 70 the tribunal, which will re-
sumo its sessions Nov. 4, preliminary
statements concerning the question
whether the allies are entitled to pref
erential treatment over the United
States from Venezuela in the matter
OF claim payments. They explain that
II is the most earnest wish and pUr-
rose of the United States to uphold
the high character of the tribunal to
advance the cause of arbitration and
10 promote the most friendly and mos
peaceful relations between the nations.
In his statement Judge Penfield says
that if any government is entitled to
preferential treatment il is the United
States, which should share in the dis
tributiOn of the 80 per cent trust fund.
The warlike preparations of the allies
did not benefit the United States.
Mr.. Bowen says that to avert the
possibility of war the allies consented
to present the matter to The Hague.
Why the allies resOrted to warlike
measures, he continues. is a question
they cannot answer creditably. If they
did so through a lack Of tact and good
sense they deserve TO be punished. In
the opinion of the minister. Venezuela
is entitled to exemplary damages from
the allies far in excess of even the
combined claims against her.
