UNEARNED MONEY.

Benjamin Flusser, a merchant, who in.
herited s. 900 from the estate Of his broth
or, has declined to accept the legacy for
his own use. Half OF It he has allotted
TO charitable institutions. and the Other
half he will give to relatives. In explana.
ton Mr.. Flusser said: IL want to earn
with my own ten fingers any money l get.
/ don't want anybody elses money. and
for that reason / am giving the legacy
away."-News Item.
Good for Flusserl
He wants TO earn his own money.
In his case the word earn" means
what the dictionary says II does:
ITO merit or deserve, as by labor or
service; to do that which entities one
to a reward, whether the reward is re-
ceived or not"
How many men or women would do
what he has done? How many men
and women would fail to see In inherit
ed money anything but a windfall-a
gift to be received gratefully and spent
cheerfully?
A wise man is Flusserl
He knows that the only money that
brings real satisfaction is the money
thot 40 dihCu ny ichutltu stiNACc, ny
duties performed. II Is the money that
brings good to others, as well as to the
possessor.
He was legally entitled to his broth
er's money! OF course, but the spirit
In the man made him feel that he had
not earned 1t; that 1t would bring with
1t something of the faint OF depend
ence, something that might vitiate In a
degree the sturdy self reliance which
dwells In his soul.
II can get for myself whatever mon
ey l want" says Flusser.
Good for him, againl
In his ten fingers and in his brain he
has the tools wherewith to dig money
for himself from the mine that lies all
around him.
"Flusser" is not distinctive Amer

ed at the thought of aid in earning
their livelihoods. They had their ten
fingers. and that was enough. They
fought with the soil and conquered 1t.
And when they wanted freedom they
fought with Great Britain and conquer
cd her.
You cannot imagine any of our fore
fathers, with hat In hand. begging any
one for aid. Neither can you imagine
Flusser doing SO.

TEST WEAK MINDED

and scientist. says the New York
American. DR. Demoor doesn't go

weak-minded, but In a series OF eH
periments made by this doctor those
who guessed correctly which OF two
objects was heavier were known TO
be weak minded. while those who
made errors In their guesses were all
normal
One experiment along this line OF
considerable interest was carried on
by DR. Demoor among $50 children
whose ages varied from six to fifteen
years For this the doctor prepared
two bottles by covering them with
black paper These bottles were OF
different size, which could be told at
a glance. but in each bottle the doc
tor put a heavy mineral until both the
large and the small bottle had exactly
the same weight. The black covering
prevented the children from seeing
the equal amount OF mineral In each
bottle.
These two bottles were handed TO
each OF the $50 children and they
were asked to Judge which was the
heavier. They balanced them In
their hands and many said the larger
one was heavier. many others said
the smaller bottle was heavier. Three
hundred and seventy Of them failed to
Judge accurately. or to declare that
there was no difference In the weight
OF the bottles.
Ten OF these children guessed cor
rectiy. They declared the bottles
were equal In weight. The remark
able part OF this Is that among these
$50 children there were only ten men
tally deficient. and these ten mentally
deficient children stated that there
was no difference In the weight OF
the bottlss-thsy were the correct
guessers.
And because OF this and many 9th
or similar experiments Doctor De-
moor is satisfied that while ordinary
people, people with normal brains.
md II dificult TO guess weights ac-
curately, II Is quite the reverse with
the mentally deficient.
The bottle test was by no means
the only one made. Other objects
were used. such as boxes OF the same
size. but containing things that made
them unequal In weight. Also boxes
OF unequal size. but that weighed
the same. These same children were
used In the experiments with the
same results; the normal children
made wrong guesses. while the men
tally deficient ones either guessed
correctly or very CLOSE TO the cor
rect weights.
Then, 10 make doubiy certain. the
experiments were tried on other peo-
pie. different groups OF children. and
also O; adults. and II was found that
among the children the normal ones
could not make anywhere near as
accurate guesses or estimates as

MAKES ADDRESS

Governor Oddie, who is attending
the Governors Convention in Sal1
Lake City, delivered one OF the main
addresses at yesterdays session. His
subject being Government Reclama-
ton"
The Governor said in part: With
respect to the work of the national
reclamation work in the West, |
think the Western people who have
come in touch with it and realize its
prodigious importance in national up
building, prove that it has proven
wise and fruitful departure in GOV
ernmental enterprise.
After the allowance for the in
evitable mistakes incident to the init
iation OF work of this character
and magnitude, and taking into con
sideration the fact that ten or twenty
wears must elapse before the full
measure OF its fruits will be evldenc-
ed. there seems to be no legitimate
ground for contention that the policy
OF the national reclamation is a fail
ure.
The land which will be reclaimed
under existing national reclamation
projects is in excess OF 100000
acres: sufficient for $4,000 families,
the cost OF which may reach $751;
100000. 1t is a loan to the West
which the West will repay.
