PROSPERITY IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Automobiles to the value OF more
than $40,OOO,OOO have been registered
in Massachusetts, since the first OF
January. That beats all records for
this state, and 1t is equaled In only
two other states. The six months re-
cord Is larger than the registration OF
the whole of last year. The number of
new machines in the state this year Is
more than 10000 and It is gaining
rapidly. Some buyers of weeks ago are
still waiting for the motors to be de-
livered. Those who have received
them have paid the state fees for reg
istration to the amount OF sl27,913.
One OF the highway commissioners
says that the registrations are COM
ing in at the rate Of thirty-six day,
but he does not know how long that
will last. He Is sure that 1t will make
the spring estimate of 10000 for the
year look small, and that the esti-
mate at the same time that state
would take In 100000 for registration
fees this year should have been
doubled.
Clerks Of the highway department
have been working nights TO keep up
with the demands for permits to run
automobiles through the state over
the highways. There was never time
when the people went so fast, so far,
and so easy and the troubles of the
practice are decreasing as men come

tor wagons are good for

The Necessity Of Advertising and Tho
Efficiency Of Statesmen.
A man may have several carloads OF
ability. He may have brains and ideas
and other desirable things. But all this
ideas ever "ideated" will not avail to
raise a man who neglects that all Inn
portant item Of advertising. You sim
ply must get attention. OF course you
can get attention by firing OF a re-
volver during Office hours or you can
do 1t by wearing loud clothes and pro-
claiming your kinshlp In the sporting
fraternity. But most men who have
risen from the ranks have carefully
neglected to use methods Of this kind.
Every office man must act as bis
own salesman. He must first prepare
himself by increasing his efficiency.
He must be able to do the work for
which he is hired. Not only should
he do that for which he is hired, but
he must do that work better than It
ever was done before. When that item
mas been attended to IL Is tnen time %
look about for more work.
The wise employee will keep his eyS
on the job ahead or, better still, viii
look at job which does not exist but
which should exist for the good Of the
business. The next step is to think
out selling talk that will get the at
tention, arouse the interest, create q
desire and bring about in the mind of
the employer desire to do what The
live employee desires him to do.-Book1

PLEA OF A BOY SUCCESSFUL

An unusual guest was entertained at
oeorgia's executive mansion a few
days ago. when Johnny Atkins, a 12-
year-old boy who had been an en-
forced visitor In the State Reforma-
tory at Milledgeville. Ca, slept in the
big white bed until morning would
bring him freedom.
Johnny had gone home with Gov.
Hoke Smith, who told him there
would be no more days In the Re-
formatory for him. And now he Is
at school again. this time In one OF
Georgia's best chronological institu-
tions. where he will have chance
TO make good"
Johnny Atkins had been running
with bad boys They read nickel
novels behind the barn and smoked
cigarettes in the alleys. He had reia-
tives but they had much work to do
and did not keep trace of Johnny.
SO when the boys broke In grocery
one night two years ago and Johnny
was caught, he was sent to the Re-
formatory.
But Gov. Smith at the close OF his
term has made a personal and unex-
pected tour OF the prison and Reform
atory to see what he could see, and
his visit resulted In a score OF par
dons. Such interest from a retiring
official is unprecendent in this State.
The Governor found Johnny at the
Reformatory and talked to him.
THERE good to me here said
Johnny. but want TO go home or
somewhere where ! can have one
more chanst I'll try to be good, now"
You'll come home with me now"
said Gov. Smith. "and stay with me
IN the mansion. Then we'll see about
your future"
Mrs Bethune. the wife OF the SUI
perintenGent, cried bit when Johnny
went away.
He was just like my baby" she
cried. I'VE all loved him here But I'm
glad he has found friend who can
help him up"
So Johnny came home on the train
With the Governor. and the Cover
nor's wife kissed him when he climbed
The big stone steps. And Johnny
slept that night in the pink room.

shown by an incident related by Sir
Frederick Pollock. At a dinner where
Thomas Campbell and Lord Nugent
were present the conversation drifted
from the use of Latin words in English

pressed doubt whether two consecu-

Campbell said he did not believe in
the lines and asked where they came
