Some Men are Creators.

Ottumwa Courier: Some men are
born creators and cultivate their
natural talents. They are well balanc-
ed, tactful, and after they have ex-
amined the proposition and settled
upon plan, perservering and deter
mined.
These men are constructionists.
They build, out do not destroy They
use all their forces and concentrate
all their energies in the accomplish
ment of some enterprise.
These men act. They are very sell
dom takers, but they are always
workers.
Bear this in mind: The creator and
builder is the man whose enterprises
and plans always contemplate the
furnishing of employment. Employ
ment is what builds community. 1t
enables the man without capital to
get start.
The most of the great builders and
creators of this age started working
by the day. They saved little each
week or month. That was the way
they began building. They created a
small fund with which to make a
start They looked ahead and had the
judgment that made them know that
before anyone would help them they
must show that they had sufficient
ability to help themselves.
There always will be men of that
kind and they will always forge
ahead of the man who does not try to
help himself There will always be
men who will, and men who will not,
live within their means. and the men
who will save some of what they make
will always be ahead of those who
will not. The man who works the
hardest will accomplish the most He
is always good man for commun-
ity, whether he is an employer or an
employee.
Look around you which are the
best men for the community, those
who are building up businesses that
employ money and people. or those
complaining?
Beware OF the common scold-he is
one of the infrmities of a community
"a sort OF eczema on society. The
chronic fault finder is never builder.
Young man, be creator. Great
commercial enterprises never came
from finding fault with what some
other man has created

ton in the worlds WORKSHOP. And re.

THE NEWS FROM THE STORES.

The relation of the merchant to
his public is much like that of the
newspaper man to his audience.
The public, or at least the feminine
end of it, picks up the newspaper
with as much eagerness to learn the
news of bargains and of styles as to
see what the army is doing in Texas.
The merchant who does not re-
spond to this demand with good
story about his offerings and values,
meets the same fate as the news
paper man who does not know a
good piece of news when he meets it
On the street.
When advertising fails to attract,
it is usually because the writer failed
to make it newsy. In this spring
season there is human interest story
in every retail business, a story of
the feeting caprices of style, of
shrewd bargaining by which the mer-
chant has protected his customers,
of oyerstocks that help family in
come go farther.
The public listens, Mr.. Merchant.
Are you there?

Because the fly is small and does
not roar like lion or devour its prey
at mouthful, mankind has paid lit
tie attention to it. But the fly is as
deadly foe to civilization as any of
pests of more fearsome aspect which
man has made it his business to ex-
terminate. The fly's attack is insid-

guarded against. He buzzes into the

Alrdome Playing to Packed Houses
Nightly.
During the three weeks the Airdome
mas been open 1t has played to big
crowds nightly, proving the quality OF
the shows offered. It was hard to get
seat any night last week.
The GOODNESS, the good shows and
the courteous attention given by the
management all combine to make the
Airdome very attractive and no doubt
accounts in large measure for the
capacity houses.
The large audience Friday night,
the scheduled amateur night, whose
applause voted the winners of the
amateur contest, could hardly deter
mine who was best so evenly divided
We're all four numbers.
Mr.. Truman Sherer, who possesses
rich heavy baritone voice, won
first. Geo. Bartholomew, who Man

third with the song, ITO the End of

quartette ran very near the money.
Though their head singer was absent
and a substitute was in his place, they
sang exceedingly well.

EXPLOSION

Windows Blown Out And
Children Have Narrow
Escape

An explosion of natural gas occurred
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. T. e.
Oakes on the Columbus road, shortly
before noon Monday, which came near
wrecking the house and injuring a
number Of people.
While Mrs. oakes went out of the
kitchen for a few minutes, her young
son, Harry, aged years, went to the
range and turned the gas on under the
oven. In brief space of time an ex-
plosion occurred and the windows in
the kitchen and bed room were blown
out and the young boy was thrown
heavily to the floor by the force of
the explosion. A younger child was in
the bed room at the time and Just
missed being struck on the head with
glass when the windows were blown
out. Mrs. oakes escaped uninjured.
