Blessed is she to whom such

TO THE BOSS:
TVERY business organization
r. possesses its misfts.
What can be done with
them?
The easiest solution of the
problem is to discharge them,
shut your eyes and draw again.
The economic way is to open
your eyes and study the situa-
ton and develop them
There is some trouble involved
in this. But no more than a
carpenter encounters when he has
to cut and plane a piece Of wood
TO make it fit a certain place. He
might overhaul a million feet of
lumber before finding exactly the
piece he needs.
It is his ready skill for altering
the length and shape Of lumber,
for adjusting it to his purposes
that makes him a carpenter
A quick eye. an observing mind,
a few tools by the help of which
he can carry out his ideas and
he can adjust means to ends
without trouble, delivering a solid
and efficient job.
Misfits in business are rough
timber. Everyone is good for
something They may not make
good tops for mahogany tables,
but they are useful somewhere.

be the best in the world;
yet, because you are ac-
customed to It. you find new zest
in food placed before you when
YOU visit other homes, or sit at

In the unaccustomed at certain

In an interesting letter which

propoundcd by a man Of culture.
After reviewing the numerous
tragedies which have occurred
from time to time as the result of
infatuation Of young women in

through love affairs with

Dreams of Sweetheart.
1T has always been a great

now.
In every schoolhouse, in every

should this spirit be expressed.
Every great and noble sentiment
that wraps our counry's present
and its future should rally around
the colors Of the republic.
More than ever before to the
children Of the republic and to
its men and women should these
stripes and stars from "OId GLORY"
stand for the essentials of power.
protection and progress.
The Spirit of the Country.
The flag must stand for a con-
structtve policy and for an ample
navy to sustain It. It should
stand in every instance for the
right Of our country to manage
its own affairs. It should stand
for clear treaties and every Just
advantage which Is ours-even IL
1t takes new treaties to secure il
for the right to forttfy its great
canal and to regulate its com
merce.
1t should stand for the right Of
its separate States to regulate
their own affairs under the Fed
eral Government in matters vital
to the interests Of its people.
The flag should stand for a
constructive, and not a destruc-
tive, policy in business-regulated
by a reduced but reasonable tariff
for the protection Of our indus
tries and by reciprocal agree
ments to protect our international
trade.
The flag should wave over a
magnificent merchant marine. It
should redeem the desoIate har-
bors in which its glorious colors
are rarely seen, and float above
our country's commerce in its
own ships on every. sea.
1t should stand for a constr,Ic-
tive policy of durable and uni
versal peace by being duly and
fully prepared for war.
Above all present things. the
flag should stand for the power
to back its policies with argu-
ment in peace and with the ample
equipment Of a powerful navy for
defense and for offense in war.
The Glory Of the Flag.
The glory Of our flag was made
by the power and the glory Of a
strong and dauntless navy. II
must be sustained by the power
of a strong and ample navy. So
long as other nations front the
world with battleshfPs ana armed
battalions our country must front
the world with battleships and
battalions. And because we are
richer and more isolated than
other nations we must see to it
that our battleships are as many

TO BOTH OF YOU:

w HEN two people have signed
" up for the purpose of doing
one thing as well as it can be
done, both must travel in the
same direction and keep step to
the music of the business. One
can not lag behind when the dou-
ble-time march begins.
The man who doesn't feel like
marching at a double-time gait
must either change his feelings or
get out of line. But wherever
he goes he must remember this:
When a lot of men get together
without purpose or leadership,
they make up a Crowd. When
they get together with a purpose,
keep step and march straight on,
they make a Procession.
And about all a crowd is fit for
is to stand around and see the
procession march by.

Inspiring Line Versus Firing Line
BY THOMAS TAPER.

Getting on in Life that every
body is so anxious to attain.
Many a man will cheer himself
red in the face to see a second
baseman play good ball. He is
cheering efficiency. BY watch
ing that man he will learn the

Take the second baseman from
his place and put in a minister,

may be humorous, but it will not
be efficient.
