Men Must Work

In every line, the difference in
men lies largely in application.
Genius is the art of taking pains.
Men are lazy, shallow, hasty.
They act without knowledge, be-
cause information requires
much effort and time.
Our ablest men will often spend
months on a single selling prob
lem. They canvass hundreds of
dealers, thousands of users, and
measure UP all competition.
Then they apply all their bound
less experience to the particular
problem in view. That's the only
way men can hope to evolve

Million-Dollar Ideas

idea.
Something in some way in

one product stand out from its

1t creates an enticement, conn

Men rarely win out through the
sheer force of advertising. The
way is too long, too hard. There

do without it.
Many such ideas have proved

The government crop report issued
August 18th continues to show a large
decrease in all grain but wheat and rye.
Corn, oats, barley, and fax are all given
heavy reduction in yield, while the rye
crop is given as a slight reduction over
last year 1t is estimated that the
barley yield will be ffty-tive million
bushels less than last year, and prices
have begun to climb up accordingly.
Barley has been selling all the way from
3S to SO cents, and present quotations
show from 46 to 81 cents a bushel. Flax
is also much stronger and is quoted at
sl.44 at Minneapolis. The government
estimate of the flax crop is only twenty
million bushels for the entire country
against twenty. eight million bushels
last year. The shortage OF only eight
million bushels is believed here to be
low. There is a large shortage in the
acreage and local elevators do not expec,
to handle half as much flax seed as last
year. There was little breaking done
for a new crop this spring.
