Residents OF MI. Vernon Met

(Shelton, Mason County, Washington,
JournaD
Two former Ohio men met in Shell
ton Saturday after lapse of quite a
few years. Eleven years ago John
Sapp, now connected with the West
ern Gas Engine Works of Seattle,
left Mt. Vernon, Ohio, where he was
proprietor of the Curtis House barber
shop, attracted by the glowing stories
of fortunes to he made in Seattle, and
he has since become affluent. John NJ
Stone, now employed in the Mason
County Journal office, was at that
time working Tor the Mt. Vernon Ban
ner, and the two were very well ac-
quainted. Mr.. Stone stepped into the
Johnson garage Saturday, where Mr..
Sapp was making a business call, and
and after eleven years the recogni-
ton was instantaneous and mutual,
and long talk of old times and old
friends ensued.

IF every ear Of corn planted in Ohio

corn crop, In saleable condition, rep

One ear of corn Of average size has
about 800 grains, each of which
should produce a stalk bearing an
ear. This would mean 800 ears, or
about eight bushels, which at so

Not counting the labor Of caring for

seed corn is worth. 1t requires just
as much labor to plant poor ear OF

him. He is boy, and most boys
are bad. You think him light-heart-
ed, and fear that he is light-headed
as we'll. But remember he calls you
father. When he played on your
lap, you fondly hoped he would some
day be great and useful man. Now
that he has grown larger and his
young blood drives him into gleeful
sports and makes him impatient of
serious advice rafting, playful,
thoughtless-you almost despair. But
don't be snappish and snarlish and
make him feel that you were disap-
pointed in him. He bears your
name, and is to send it on down the
stream of time. He inherits your
fortune and fame, and is to transmit
them to generations to come.
1t cannot be otherwise. A daugh=
ter divides your fortune, transmits
less of your fame, and loses your
name. A boy is more nearly your
self than anything else can be. 1t
is through your boy that you are to
live in the future; by him you are to
act upon the generation that is to
come.
1t may be difficult to govern him,
but be patient. He may seem averse
to everything useful and good, but
wait. No one can tell what is in a
boy. He may surprise you some day.
Hope. Let him grow. While his
body grows larger and stronger, his
moral and mental nature may ex-

nothing in him, he has no pride or
aspiration. You don't know. No
one can tell what is in a boy. Be

and direct and thus start your boy
with such energy and determination
that no power on earth could stop
him short of the topmost round in
the ladder of fame.
If you cannot educate him, let him
educate himself. That is the best
way. That will make him strong,

A LIMITED GOLDEN RULE

Some little time since an interna-
tional conference Of representatives Of
the steel interests was held in Brus-
sels Mr.. Gary, who is well known in
connection with the steel industry in
America, delivered an address on
"The Golden Rule Applied to Bust
ness" a subject on which he is well
qualified to speak. The whole adj
dress is worth reading, but it is
summed up in this excerpt:
"There should be established and
continuously maintained buSir ess
friendship which compels one to feel
the same concern for his hbor that
he has for himself. 1t is nothing less
in principle than the Golden Rule ap-
piled to business.
Beautiful as this sentiment appears,
it is defective in clearness of express
sion and unsatisfactory to most of us
in its operation as shown up till now.
1t fails to specify who the neighbor of
the steel man is, but under the cir
cumstances of it's delivery; we may in
fer that it is another steel man toward
whom this neighborly love is to be
shown. If SO the advice is unneces-
sary SO far as regards the United
States. In this country the various
steel makers have shown such con-
Germ for one another that they have
merged into one general concern to
handle The whole business-but this
fraternal spirit has applied only to
those who make steel. The unfortu-
nate users of the product have been
excluded, as have all who are not
members of the Golden Rule steel
order.
awe have been learning much lately
about the workings of Mr.. Gary's
limited application of the Golden
Rule, not merely as applied to steel,
but to tobacco, oil, sugar, meat and
some other articles, and as a result of
these revelations, laws are being ell
TO ced to make wider range of the
principle. Steel men, Oil men, sugar
men, tobacco men and the like are be-
ing taught to make a wider applica-
ton of the principle of doing to others
as they would have others do to them,
and although the dose is unpalatable,
we doubt not that it will result in ul-
innate good all around.
