necessary for the batters OF the White

SOME RULES FOR SUCCESS
Things the Man Who Wants to Reach
the Top Should Keep Ever
in His Mind.

If you want to make a success
Of anything keep at it and the meas
ure of your achievement will depend
upon how hard you ''plug."
Remember that one night of joy
GUS entertainment, accelerated by
strong drink, requires the physical
and mental strength of two days of
hard toll
Too many persons are prone to
give up a project before they really
get started on it.
Where one man dies from over
work 100 die of stagnation.
The employee who whatehes the
clock for quitting time is seldom
found occupying the boss chair in
the front Office.
Don't wait for somebody to slip
money under your door; you must
go out and make them give it up.
Get the. respect of your rivals by
beating them at their own game in
a clean way-then you're on the road
to success.
Take care of your body and when
you have reached the age of forty
or forty-fve you'll be able to run up
stairs and can continue to work al
high pressure.

SOME FARMERS GET NO WAGE
With Many the Income Is Said to Be
All From Investment, None
From Labor

One measure Of a farmers success
is the amount Of money which he
has left to pay him for his own labor
after he has met all other expenses
of running his farm, writes D. w.
Frear in the Breeders Gazette The
legitimate running expenses OF the
farm do not include personal, living
or household expenses. This sum
received by the farmer for his own
labor for the year is his. labor in
come.
Some farmers are making labor
incomes about as large as their hired
men and some are making good
yearly salaries. Others are receiving
little or nothing for their labor.
Their farm income is largely or en-
tirely from the interest on their in
vestment. Farmers who are not
making labor incomes equal to the
wages of good hired man would be
better off financially if they would
sell their farms, put their money out
at interest and work for wages.
An example will make this plain
Assume that farmer has a farm
income of $1,000, and that his farm
investment is $4,000. Interest on
this at six per cent. is 81, 200. The
difference between this amount and
81, 500, or $500, represents his labor
income. If his net income is only
$1,000, then he has no labor income
and is working for nothing.
Farmers should keep sufficient rec
ords of their business to enable them
to determine their labor income.
This means taking an inventory. at
the opening and closing of the year
and keeping a record of the expenses
and receipts.
If a farmer is not making ordi-
nary wages in addition to a fair rate
of interest on his investment, he
ought to know it, and then take steps
to learn why and to correct the
trouble. On the other hand, some
farmers are making more than good
interest on their investment and
wages for the time which they put
in. If they are not making as much
money as they would like it may be
because their investment is too small
and the time they actually work too
limited.
