I'M DoRTANcE OF GOOD HUMoR
Business Man Tells Why It IL Neces-

eff my bookkeeper is a man OF souc
disposition, said a business man, II
don't mind it SO much. He comes in
contact with the Office force only. and
If he is good bookkeeper we can get
along with his sourness; but of course
it is important to have men of good
humor at all points where they come
In contact with the public. don't
mean joky, foolish men, but men Of
spirit and courtesy that commonly
goes with it.
IT regard it as Of high Importance
to have such men at the counters,
where they deal with people coming
In, regulars and strangers. People in
stinctively judge of an establishment
by the first person they meet in it;
If he is man OF courtesy they feel
like coming again; If he is cool and
Indifferent to them they feel like stay
ing away.
1--WE aim to have good hundred men
for shipping clerks. Such a man can
expedite work a lot; his spirit is con-
tagious, puts everybody in good hui
NOR; every truckman likes him, cot
tons to him, and will move faster and
do more for him than he would for q
sour, grumpy man. And it's so all
around.
I'VE can stand sour bookkeeper.
IL he's a good one; but at all points
where they come in contact with peo-
pie outside we want men Of good hu-

which we try to do business our

comes are doubled and even trebled
by the judicious farming of small
patches Of ground as side line or
odd-time job. Investigation has
proved, in fact, that 1t Is not only pos
sible, but profitable, to conduct a
small-lot farm and in hundreds OF In.
stances people in all sections of the
country are earning incomes direct
from the soil OF their home acre.
The reason SO many people who
have the opportunity to grow vegeta'
bles and other crops for their own use,
as we'll as for sale, do not do SO is due,
no doubt, to the fact that they fall to
understand the real profits that can be
derived from small plot Of ground.
AS a matter of fact more vegetables
can be grown in the city or suburban
back yard than the average family can
eat, with a good quantity to spare.
