HON. B. II. MARBURY MAKES
SPLENDID ADDRESS
At Ozark Business University.

Hon. B. H. Marbury address
ed the students of the Ozark
Business University last Thurs
day afternoon. The substance
of his discourse is as follows:
Life is serious thing-a
stern reality. There are forces
for both good and evil, but ev-
eryone has the price to pay for
success if he will make the nee
essary sacrifices.
"How to succeed-be yourself
and lead your own life. God
never made a duplicate in all
creation. You cannot be some
one else. Be yourself. You sue
ceed or fail as your individual
manhood permits you.
webster said that for for
ty years he had thought and
studied and put in language the
thoughts and feelings he ex-
pressed in his memorable speech
in Congress. Work. Put your
whole soul, mind and strength
into your work.
"Have a purpose in life. What
is your life? What are you here
for? What is YOUR purpose in
life? Your purpose in life ought
to be not only to be stenogra-
pher. Your purpose is valueless
unless in front and above that
purpose there is an ideal. Let
your purpose be broader than
present employment, and your
ideals be as perfect as your mind
may create. Purpose to do the
work of today and do it perfect
ly. Purpose to acquire for your
self an accurate and thorough
education, and let it become a
part of your personality. Pur-
pose to learn every lesson per-
fectly. If not, you are shining
against your day and opportuni-
ty. Be yourself and master your
work here because you do not
know when an opportunity is
going to come to you. You can
make this country. You have to
make your own life. Don't
make your ideals too low.
"You have to be willing to
work-work harder than you
are paid for. Do not be content
with what you are able to do
when you get your diploma.
That is a starter. Go on and on
and on. Acquire ideals in life.
You are responsible with the
brain that God Almighty has
given you to learn.
There is more demand TODAY
for men for $4,000 salary a
year than for $4,000 a month.
There is more demand today for
competent, efficient, hard-work-
ing men and women in the bust
ness world than there ever was.
Lay the foundation for the fu-
ture not the present. The ini-
tial opportunity will come. Alb
solutely stick to hard work.
Then you will succeed. If you
do not stick to hard work you
will fail.
Be moral. You can't live in
this world clean, moral, up
right life without going to
church. Drinking and smoking
cannot mix with good business
and good morals. Give your
heart and life to God"

HAS MONEY AND THE SHIPS.
Milwaukee Writer Discusses Merits
OF Uncle Sam Az
A Warrior.
CRy ElIis B. usher.l

Milwaukee, June Everybody
and everything American has been
awaiting, with dignity and serious
demeanors, the second note of Presi-
dent Wilson to Germany. There is
very general feeling here, and every
where, that Americans are behind
President Wilson, to man, and this
feeling anticipates the second note
with confidence, having had evidence
of Mr.. Wilson's measure in his com
prehensive a2d decisive first utter
ance. Not that some few people do
not talk of "peace at any price" but
that is not the temper, generally, of
the American people. They have no
desire for war, but they have much
less desire for ign0ble peace.
HOW MONEY FIGHTS BATTLES.
In this connection, it Is not untime-
ly to refer to some of the utter nom
sense that is talked, even by people
who should know better, of the I'M
potency of the United States to enter
the European war to any purpose.
That sort of talk comes from two ex
| tremes. The first, and weakest, is
from the very few whose unpatriotic
sympathies would make it so. The
other ex treme is thOughtless, or mis-
informed. To begin with, money
fights battles in these days, and the
United States has more Of it, just now
than any nation on earth. Second in
Importance, our navy, according to
Admiral Dewey, who has been it's
head for some time, has no superior,
man for man, ship for ship, and gun
for gun. And it is third in rank in
the world. 1t could get into the
European war with great effect. There
will, as we can now fOresee. be no
call upon this country for large
army, though we ought to be prepar-
ed for one, in the interests of peace.
In that direction our 00,000,0O0 OF
people, even if unframed as rule,

shape long before we could have any
domestic danger from any foreign foe.
Just one suggestion. We could train
a standing army of million men,
among the negroes of the South, in
less time than we could equip them
all. Few think of those black, but
they are patriotic, and they make good
soldiers, and there are over two mil
lions of them within the range of
years from Is to As. Some of these
facts will furnish any intelligent
American with suggestions upon
which he may, rapidly, enlarge. Do
we want to fightp No, But anybody,
in this country or abroad, who thinks
the President can not depend upon
his people to back him up, is not
reckoning with either knowledge or
courage. The European war will not
be short. 1t will be absolutely neces-
sary for the American people to I'M
derstand themselves, and pay heed to
the movement of International affairs
A crisis may be very near them, even
now.

A Clever Bird.

People who feed the Wild birds in
winter find that the birds soon come TO
know them. A friend OF mine used
every morning to rap an English wal
nut on the sill OF his open window. A
white breasted nuthatch knew the sig
nal and would fly to his hand and take
the nut meat from between his fingers.
Sometimes my friend used to hold tho
nut meat tightly and make the bird
work to got It. One morning the nut

ment. will serve broad and valuable
purpose. 1t may be copied in any
smaller city to equally good purpose.
The ultimate value to public works of
such large fund will be apparent to
any one who grasps it's meaning.
OUR NATIONAL WEALTH.
In the allusion made above to the
financial ability of the United States,
l was nc. merely making an assertion.
The new reserve banks contain cash
balance of over $500 900, 900 and the
banks of New York City, on last
week statement, hold nearly 5000 900,
900 of cash reserves. These are only
two of many items of available cash.
But when it comes to national wealth,
the figure just published by the Unit
ed States Census Bureau show the
estimated value of our national
wealth to have been, in 1912, nearly
1873 billions, or the equivalent of al
most 81, 200 per capita, for our pOpul-
alton. There is nothing under the
sun comparable to this showing.
THE PASSING OF VETERANS.
The men who can tell story OF
personal experience of Civil War days
are growing sadly few, even among
those who were only lads when the
war was closed, for that was half a
century ago. In view of this fact, the
recent publication by the COmman-
derry of Wisconsin of the Military Or
der of the Loyal Legion of the United
States, of Vol. ~ of their series of
''War Papers" is of more than pass
ing interest. 1t is bound volume of
nearly 500 pages, and the Comman-
derry has selected for preservation only
such papers as relate TO the personal
experiences of the writer's in connect
ion with the days of the Civil war.
Among them, for example, is a paper
of much historical value by Hon.
Gerry H. Hazelton, our distinguished
Octogenarian, telling of his experien-
ces at the convention of 1860 that
nominated Abraham Lincoln. The
printers of the volume, Burdick u Al
len of this city, have some copies OF
it to sell, and it is we'll worth place
in any library, especially in Wis
consin library. 1t contains many per
sonal relations of soldiers who were
part of the North's great uprising
for the perpetuation of the Union,
which, just now. are reading of uE-
usual interest to anyone who would
understand the order of patriotism
that inspires Americas citizen sol
diery. 1t may well be borne in mind,
too, that the descendants of both sides
of that greatest war of modern times,
until the present European war, are
today ready to be defenders of the
flag.

THE COMMUNITY TRUST.

The community trust. as 1t has been
termed, or. put the other way, a trust
fund for the benefit of the community,
is the latest development of cooper
ative, communal philanthropy and
welfare. II has just been introduced
in Milwauk ee. which is the fourth
city, believe, to effect such an or
ganization. 1t is called the Mil
waukee Foundation, and follows. as
do all the others, the lines of the
Cleveland Foundation, which was de-
signed by leading finaneier and law
yer. Judge Gotf, of that city The
plan contemplates the collection of
money from individual gifts and be-
quests from private sources, into a
fund the proceeds of which will be
administered by an unpaid board of
five citizens. One member will be
named by the Judge of the United
States District Attorney Court, an
other by the senior Court Judge of
Probate, third by the Mayor, and
the remaining two by the Wisconsin
Trust Company, which has been 80
lected as the trustee of the fund. One
of these directors viii retire each
year. unless reappointed. 1t will be
possible for private persons to give
or leave money to specific objects for
administration by the Foundation,
with q proviso, if they wish il, that If
the specific object ceas es to exist, the
board may use the money IN its dis
erection. Public works. art, libraries,
charities, philanthropies. and all
worthy or desirable purposes may
thus bee served by q continuing and
responsible management. One desir-
able object that will, il is expected,
be attained by this plan. is that people
who can and wish to give small sums
for public welfare may be certain that
their money will be acceptable and be
usefully employed, Often such people
refrain from gifts or requests be-
cause they think their ability to give
