hands, while men with teams are be-

Here is something every one
should do: Send the home paper to
the people back east. The home
paper tells all about the big crops
and good times we are having in
Kansas, and is always booming the
city, county and state, and if you
send it back east it will have ten
dency to bring immigration, which
means raise in the price of your
property and thereby you have bene-
flied the entire community, and at a
very little cost to yourself. Send the
best home paper east. Any one can
tell you which is the best.

self-Management.

No doubt you have realized that the
popular educational Information
turned out by the printing press dur
ing the last century has caused things
to be little different from what they
once were. The manager is not able
to do to-day in the same way that
which he could do twenty, forty, sixty
years ago And the time is coming
when. if he would be successful. he
must not only have wit and strong
hand, but n humane heart and an
ever clear head. As some may not
recognize the necessity of an occa-
sional rest from everyday work. |

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 n chemist would analyze an un-
known liquid. Some books will help
you little. but observation will help
you more, and the suggestions of
friends and enemies will become the
most useful of all. A course of prl-
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 arc thinldng; these
men succeed also.
