BE A CREATOR OF WEALTH.

Of course, we must have men IN
the work of exchange as well as
in the work of production, and
in so far as men are actually
needed for this work Of exchange,
they serve the world just as well
as if they were actually creators
of wealth. The trouble is that all
over the country, and especially
here IN the South, we have an un'
necessarily large number OF men
in these non-productive business
ses. We have twice as many mer-
chants-and bankers. too, we sus-
pect-as there is any genuine
justification for our having. VI
LAWYERS the same thing is true.
With regard to the latter asser-
ton we have been especially I'M
pressed by the opinions expressed
by Prof. T. N. Carver, of Harvard
University. in a recent address
before the American Economic
Association. In this address he
deplored the American tendency
to rush into lawsuits because we
thus divert into an unproductlve
profession the services OF so
many able men who should be IN
more useful lines of endeavor.
cit is certainly as great waste OF
human energy" Professor Car
yer said, "to have man takeu
out of productive industry and
have him devote his time to fight
ing individual quarrels as it is to
have another man taken out of
productive industry and devote
his time to fighting national quar-
rels."
We certainly need to encour-
age our young men to 60 more
largely into productive lines of
industry, such as agriculture and
manufacting, instead of setting
up additional stores, banks, and
lawyers offices on every street
corner in the South. Too many
of our best men are poor lawyers,
merchants, and bank clerks, add
ing nothing directly to the wealth
Of our section. who might be- max
ing it a land of prosperity and
power if they were conducting
good stock, fruit or dairy farms,
or were at the head of small
manufacturing enterprises.
Go into the North and West and
you will find a much larger pro-
portion Of thrifty men who are
looking after rich farms or run
ming small factories. and very
much smaller proportion Of little
banks, little stores, and little
lawyers Offices than one finds here
in the South.
We have too many middlemen,
too many men among whom to di-
vide the wealth that others create.
We must economic in the ex-
change Of product. The Progress
sive Farmer.

DO THE HARD THINGS FIRST

Many a man who has done
much good work has fallen short
Of success because some disagree
able thing lay in his way which
he would not overcome.
A bookkeeper who complained
that he was not advanced as rap
idly as he thought he deserved to
be, had it been pointed out to
him that his hand writing was
bad. Practice in handwriting
was repugnant to him, and he re-
NAMED in the minor position.
Many a man fails because he
refuses to do the small things, to
patiently look after annoying
little details, and these mount up
in the final reckoning and some
day from a barrier against his
