THE OTHER FELLOWS MONEY

The death occurred recently OF
Frederick Weyerhauser, a noted
numGerman, whose home was at 81.
Paul. According to the statements
at the time. Mr., Weyerhauser was
one OF the richest men in the Uni.
ted States. Long newspaper stories
were printed telling how he acquired
his vast fortune.
Down in the ewSpapers corners
Of the past week could be found a
little item giving estimates OF his
estate filed In proving the will. 1t
is now supposed that the famous
lumber King left property valued
TT only $4,000
II this estimate proves correct, it
suggests that the list OF real million
aires is probably much shorter than
people think. The bigger a mans
business grows. the higher his ex.
penSes rise. The ends in view are
80 large that it seems foolish 10
spend time and thought on small
savings, Little wasteful leaks OF ex-
pense keep growing bigger.
The larger a mans estate becomes
the less care he usually taxes in his
Investment Large properties are
bought on slight investigation. often
on borrowed money, Il the security
proves unsatisfactory the loan has
to be paid, no matter how much the
principal has shrunk.
The larger share OF modern bust
ness Is done on other peoples CAPT
tai, and or narrow margins. The
profits OF many a manufacturing
plant go to pay interest on unsatIs-
factory Investments, Slight changes
in prices turn winners into losers.
Most people overestimate the
property of their neighbors This is
partly the result OF the conditions
suggested above, partly due to the
fact that a great many people live
beyond their means, and with llttic
provision for the future. II Is not
the man who has the most automo-
biles and horses who can draw the
biggest check.

.sAwNy" wEBB's GOOD ADVICE,

During a recent visit TO former
students In Memphis. ex-senator w.
X. Webb, OF B%eilebuckle, Tenn, gave
out the following good advice to
young men, which is well worth their
most serious consideration:
Nine out OF ten men lay out plans
that are by far too vast" said Sena-
tor Webb. 'They learn how TO do
many things but nothing we'll. This
is the day OF the specialist. Even In
the practice OF medicine, to be a
great success, one must pursue some
specific line. In every other line OF
work IL Is the same and 1t is becom-
Ing more SO every day one must know
how to do one thing we'll.
The great value ma college edu-
cation lies In the fact that one learns
his own limitations. The mere fact
mat a man is a college graduate,
counts for little. In fact, some bust
ness men are afraid OF college men.
But ! am glad to say that the mod
ern business man has come to re-
gard the college graduate as ONE
thing more than "A theorist.
THE greatest single asset for a
young man is ambition. When this
Is gone, one might as we'll give up II
he expects to accomplish anything.
Most people are content with maxi
ing a mere living or existing.
"A great many boys want to know
what is the use OF studying Greek or
Latin If they are going to be bust
ness men. Well, We all know that
as far as the face value Is concerned
1t will avail little in business because
one is a Greek scholar. There are
few kinds of work harder than that
OF a student, the working out Of
geometrical problems and of trans
lating difficult passages in dead Ian
guages. Such work enables the
young mind to think and reason, SO
that when In after years the student
goes out into life he knows how to
solve problems just as hard.
What is needed most Of all today
Is good clean young men with an am
bition to be and do something. The
bread line In New York city contains
scores of college graduates. These
people for the most part have been
deluded to think that the one neces-
sary thing was to hold a degree from
some big college. A college degree
will get you little unless you have
been trained to realize the practical
side Of life.
In the coming generation there
will be little room for the man who
drinks and dissipates his energies.
In this day of competition and strife
one must not be hampered. A mans
brains must not be half awake, but
keyed up to the highest point. If
any la has a good English educa-
ton and Is endowed with health and
ambition, there is no reason why he
should not be a leader In his line,
II he will only work"

HALEY CASE APPEALED.

The QUO warranto proceedings
against Hon. j. L. Haley. president
Of the Board Of Supervisors, member
OF the Leyee Board and member OF
the Board OF Aldermen OF Itta Bena,
which resulted In Judge Everett CIV
ing peremptory instructions to Dust
him as a member Of the Board Of
Supervisors, last week, has been ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
The grounds upon which the
Judge ordered Mr., Haley ousted as a
member Of our Board OF Supervisors
will cause the supreme court to re-
verse his decision without hesita-
ton. The fact that Mr.. Haley, as
president Of the Board OF Supervls-
ors, approved his " boLt as a
member OF the Levee Board certain
ly did not invalidste his member
ship on the Board OF Supervisors, to
which position he was nln tod l.y
the people OF his district. and for
the faithful performance OF the du-
ties thereof he was under bond, and
which position he was holding at
the time he was re-appointed ls.ee
commissioner, II ineligible to h iii
both positions, there can be no rues-
ton as to which position the su-
preme court will decide he Is rptit-
led to hold-that OF member OF the
Board OF Supervisors. The appr.v-
ing OF his " bond as Levee C.'m.
missioner certainly does not inyali-
aate his right to the office OF Super
visor 1t possibly does make hi, in
e',s'hle to the Office Of Levee Com.

COTTON ACREAGE INCREASED
ONE PER CENT.

Reports Of correspondents to The
Memphis Commercial Appeal of date
of May 20 and 81 indicate an in
crease of l per cent In the acreage
planted to cotton this year over last.
While these figures are comparative
iy complete east of the river and in
Arkansas and Louisiana, they are
subject to heavy revision in Texas and
Oklahoma, especially the former
state. In Texas the acreage Is esti-
mated unchanged, but the figures are
based on what is planned to be
planted, and further rains In that
state would undoubtedly materially
reduce the acreage. Oklahoma gain
ed in acreage sown to footstuffs at
the expense of cotton.
The condition of the crop is esti-
mated at IS per cent Of a normal,
compared to 1911 last year and 1873
year before last.
Conditions vary widely, being
more nearly perfect In the central
valley and the western side of the
eastern belt than In other sections.
In the central valley, Alabama and
Georgia, a warm rain would place
conditions where they could hardly
be improved. Preparation has been
thorough and the crop is unusually
well cultivated throughout this Sec
ton.
In Texas steady rains have rem
dered the condition the worst ever
known there, according to most cor
respondents. Good weather would
do much to remedy conditions In the
big state, but 1t is doubtful II all
damage can be thoroughly repaired.
Plant health is generally pretty
good. but cool weather has retarded
growth to a certain extent. However,
the crop, outside Of Texas, Oklahoma
and Western Arkansas, is somewhat
earlier than last year.
Condition by states, with compar-
alive acreage figures follow.

THE RISE AND DECLINE or
TRADE.

Gibbon wrote a famous history o.
the Decline and Fall Of the Roman
Empire" In the power and pride OF
Rome on the ascending scale. few
would have thought ruin was posi-
BILE. Similarly in many well estab-
lished business houses there are the
seeds of decay.
The merchants OF any community
range themselves into two classes.
There are those who have an estab-
lished trade, great or small. Some Of
them think they can now live on the
fruits OF their past efforts. All they
have to do is to sit still and their
regular customers will come around
and buy their goods.
But population changes ore raj :
idly than 1t used to. Few pep,e
send out roots deep into any soil.
Death claims its share. ANY given
body of people, accustomed to ouy-
ing goods in some m place, will ho
cut in two by death and removal il
five years.
The older people who bought
goods regularly at one store, were
almost ashamed to be seen going
into another place. They felt as If
it were almost an act Of disloyalty.
Nowadays no n is tied up any
where. All 60 where the best bar
gains are offered. Few places have
any regularly established trade that
can be counted on without persist
ent solicitation. New customers
must constantly be sought to take
the place Of those that drop out.
The other class Of merchants are
those that r coming. In a year.
by persistent efforts to tell the pub
lie what they are doing they build
up their own consistency. 1t is
made up not merely of the drifters
and floaters, but from wide awake
people who are drawn from less ag-
gressive and enterprising stores.
The business that does not adver-
tise Is usually the business that is
going down. The business that ad-
v~ertises is the business that is COM
ing up.
