How to Shake Hands

\ eminent psychologist has enunciated
theory in handshaking that adds an
other notch TO iiarvards accomplishments in
the social world He says nothing ncw-as
who docs?-hut what he says is worth study
ly every man who wishes to make an i'm
preston. Did YOU ever notice tho hand
shake of the aggressive salesman who depends
upon carrying you away with his approach?
lie comes to you smilingy, hand outstretched.
Without knowing why, your stern features
relax you treat your worn face to a couple
Of wrinkles, and you grasp his hand. But
before you get Il good grip he has your hand
firmly in his. is looking you squarely in the
eye, his left hand touches your right elbow
firmly. and you are won over by the hearth
ness Of it all. You feel as though this man
is not salesman. hut friend. That's what
makes him a salesman.
The tshy handshakc, the limp cold, dank
hand that hangs in your own and offers no
grip, is like the touch of a tishworm, dead
thing. IL is accompanied by no heartiness of
expression. And the other handshake-the
grip of the athlete who wants to show his
strength, who bears down and brushes your
hones-is quite as undesirable because il
gives YOU an impression that the other fellow
is trying to show off. and you resent it,
Also it hurtS-especiall if YOU have ring
on your finger.
The way 10 shake hands is thing worth
knowing; the shaking of hands is a thing
worth practicing. When you shake hands
notice whether the other man responds in
like spirit, and if he does, credit yourself
with distinct achievement Then having
cultivated the hearty winning handshake
set out TO develop the highest possible char
acter back of it, just like it. BE as hearty,
as CHEEKY. as cordial in every act as in your
approach, and, whether you are salesman
or preacher, you will find that YOU have

Are Three of Them.

l. c. 7. Moore, Underhill, Man.
Came from Bruce County, Ontario,
1882, with a capital of $500. Home
steaded quarter section. Now owns
$500 acres for which he paid average
of s20.00-worth today $4,000 per acre.
9. James Steel, Battleford, Sas-
k%atchewan. Came from Perthshire,
Scotland, 1904. His fare advanced to
bring himself and family to Canada.
Took up homestead, which he sold
later $500 per acre, buying 1000
acres at $500 per acre. Has been
very successful in mixed farming.
Values land now at $4,000 per acre,
and is worth $4,000. If had re-
NAMED in the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been a passport to
the poor house." he says.
8. Fl. J. Smith, Glover Bar, Alberta.
Came from North Michigan. 1893,
without capital. Now farming 500
acres, valued at 5000 per acre. Pur-
chased originally at $500 per acre.
Engaged in mixed farming. Cows
average him $4,000 a year.
All this talk about the exploitation
OF labor by capital, class distinction,
living wage, high cost of living, and
so forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer.
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become
rich in Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility of being
robbed of freedom and independence;
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the nan who grows most Of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
ward in exact and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested.

lions would give a little time to in
vestigating those suburban, they
would likely spy a clear way out Of
