HOW DID YOU SPEND THE LAST
SIXTY MINUTES?

In little article entitled Sixty
Minutes of Salary" in the January
edition of a popular magazine, Will
liam johnson says:
did you ever reduce your income
to hours? You make, say, $2,5O0 a
year, or $50 week. You are at
your desk eight hours day and four
on Saturdays. For each of the forty
four hours you receive on dollars and
thirteen cents.
do you earn it?
"If you are honest with yourself
you will have to admit that you do
not-at least not every hour. Just
for the fun of it keep tab some day.
As you 90 out of the office at noon
ask yourself what you have done in
the last four hours. More than likely
| morning. How much time did you
spend chatting? Was it square deal
to your employer to be writing those
personal letters? 1t will amaze you
to find how much time you have frit-
tered away. You will be glad that
your employer is not looking over
your shoulder. Perhaps you will even
understand why he does not raise youl
salary.
Watch men who are getting ahead
III the world, men who are working
their way up or who are in business
for themselves. You'll find most OF
them working sixty-one minutes tc
the hour.
| ITO attain success a man doesn't
h:ye to work twenty-four hours 8
day. If he works eight hours of sixt,
minutes each he can do it. Relaxa
ton and play and proper amount oi
steep are as essential to success al
wofk IS. It's the man who work!
when he works and plays when h,
!. plays VINO gets the most out of life
at is making the minutes coun
that makes life profitable.
by the way, how did you spend tn,
last sixty minutes? Let's hope it wa
one something worth while"

er he knocked out Kaufman in
nine rounds last winter. Palzer
was matched to box Jack Johnson
recently, but the New York box

Joe Wood Is the only pitcher
who really leads Johnson this
year, and Wood is with a team
that has won consistently from
the start, while johnson has been
handicapped as Washington did
not hit it's stride until well along
in May. Any American league
batter will say he prefers to face
Wood to Johnson.
One of the most popular play
ers in the game. Johnson is called
for by Washington fans from
President Taft to the pop and pea
nut boy when the score is close
in the closing innings and his
ability as life-saver Is shown by
the box scores every week.
The Johnson of today is not the
johnson who. broke into the
American league from Idaho.
Then he was an awkward, over
grown boy, with terrific speed and
little else. Today he is the fin
ished article, Tall, we'll built.
graceful, he Is tremendously
powerful and pitches with a fric-
tionless ease which impels the
query, Where does his speed
come from"
He pitches to win and wastes
no time. He gets his signals from
the catcher while returning to
his place and Is ready to deliver
the ball when he steps upon the
slab. His games are notably
short.
Walter Johnson prefers to sub
merge himself rather than seek
the limelight so pleasant to many
players. He regards himself as
a workman, employed to win ball
games and he sees nothing
strange in the fact that he WINS
them. That Is what he Is paid
for.

The horse business is one of the

it is really a noteworthy occurrence

protest of his company. he shipped
the animal over and sold him almost
