Business Judgment.

Mt. Olive Tribune.
There can be no greater mistake
that business man can make than
to be mean in business. Everybody
has heard the proverb OF penny wise
and pound foolish. A liberal ex-
penditure in the iway OF business is
always sure to be a capital invest
ment. There are people in the world
who are short-sighted enough to be-
lieve that their interest can be best
promoted by grasping and clinging
to all they can get and never letting
a cent slip through their fingers. As
a general thing, it will befound, other
things being equal, that he who is
most liberal is most successful in
business. OF course we do not mean
it to be inferred that a man should
be prodigal in his expenditures; but
that he should show his customers,
ii he is a trader, or those whom he
may be doing any kind of business
with, that in all his business trans
actions, Jar well as social relations,
he acknowledges the everlasting fact
that there can be no permanent pros
perity or good feeling in a community
where benefits are not reciprocal.

 President Eliot seems to have for gotten his aversion to football in the moment of victory. With justifiable elation, when told the glad tidings, he said to a reporter: You might add to your story that Harvard, which has not been very successful in athletic sports, won in three events this year-crew, baseball and football" This is certainly Har- wards year, and it is just as well that all true Harvard men from President Eliot down. make the most of it. for heaven only knows when Harvard's cup of happiness will be filled so to overlowing again.

The average annual damage by floods in the United States has never been accurately determined, but such investigations as have been made indicate that the loss must be at least $100,000,000 annually. It ap- pears that in many parts of the United States the proper expendi- ture of an amount equal to one years flood loss would prevent fu- ture floods; in other parts of the country the cost would probably equal the losses of two or more years but in every locality prevention could be accomplished by an expenditure equivalent to the losses from the floods of few years. In few flood regions, however. could this result be accomplished except under federal action. Most of the rivers defined many thousands of years before state boundaries were conceived. The proper treatment of the flood ques- tion must therefore follow the limits imposed by nature rather than the artificial lines defining the sovereign ty of the various states. Prevention of floods is purely an engineering problem and the engineers who have thoroughly investigated 1t realize full ly the necessity for federal regula- tion. On another feature of this sub ject the engineering profession is also agreed, namely that whatever means may be finally adopted to pre- vent this great devastation the re- suits of investigations of rivers must be available to show their habits. flows, seasonal changes and eccen- tricities; and, moreover, such inves- tigations must extend over a period of years and be practically completed before remedial measures can be ap- piled.

The horse is being driven even from his last stronghold on the farm
 by the motor vehicle, which is prov ing far more efficient in blowing, narrowing, reaping and threshing,
 says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. Curiously England ap-
 pears to have made more progress
 in the development of the small in
 ternal-combustion engine farm trac- tor than Americans, although thou sands of small stationary and port able gas engines are used for feed cutting, grinding, churning, pump ing and saving wood on farms
 throughout the United States and steam traction engines are common. The first of the successful light gas engine tractors was the Ivel, brought out in England in 1902. This can be operated by gasolene, kerosene or al- cohol and has won twenty-six gold and silver medals in blowing matches and other competitions before agri- cultural and other societies in differ ent countries. Complete, the machine weighs 32 hundred weight (3,5S4 pounds.) Motive power is supplied by an 1920 horse power double cyl finder opposed engine disposed lon gitudinally in the frame and protect ed by metal cover. A pulley is .fit- ted for stationary work, such as threshing, grinding and driving dy- namo. Hauling three furrow blow, the tractor has plowed acres in g hours to depth of ' inches on con- sumption of 20 gallons of gasolene or kerosene and one gallon of lubri- eating oil. One user, after two years experience, claimed to have done with it daily an an average as much blowing as he could do in the same time with three teams of three horses three men and three boys, that is 2A acres of heavy soil to depth of inches. With one foot reaper and binder attached, 21a acres of grain could be cut in an hour on a con- sumption of 2A gallons of gasolene and one pint of oil. Two small bind CTS can, however, be hauled on suit able ground Another user found that it would easily drive 60 inch double blast threshing machine and at the same time straw trusser. More powerful tractors are built for blowing and reaping on more ex- tensive scale, such as the 50 horse power Saunderson Universal motor, also built in Eugland. Like the Ivel, it is three wheeled machine, but 1t drives by a pair of front wheels and is totally different in construc- tion and appearance, the engine standing vertically between the front wheels. The builders are now bring ing out two smaller tractors of 20 and 30-35 horse power which will have four wheels and drive by the rear pair.

of this market In view of the danger of another speculative outbreak. Our speculative leaders have fortunately been impressed with the desirability of moving more cautiously, and the result Is that the whole market shows a much more cautious tone than week or two ago. On the other hand, the interest of the big operators, who have not yet sufii- ciently distributed their holdings, Is on the side of higher market, and they are quite likely to push their advantage still further when suitable opportunity offers. The public shows more disposition to operate; and with easy money in sight the conditions are favorable to speculative activity for some weeks to come. So long as this tendency is kept within reason able bounds the effect will be bene- ficial; but it is we'll to recognize that all interests would be injuriously af- fected by speculative furore. For tunately the market is becoming less one-sided, and as securities pass from strong hands into weaker the danger of carrying the advance too far di- minishes The outlook therefore is for good trading market, in which stocks should be sold on all sharp rallies and bought only on the good breaks

Owing to the steady improvement in business there is an encouraging degree of general confidence, accom- panied by an unquestioned anxiety in high financial circles to avoid

Our leading bankers are still surprisingly conservative Although funds are abundant and there is plenty of capi- tai seeking profitable employment, those in control are exercising an un- usual degree of caution.
