beads of resolution, filled with deter

This time there is to be no falter-

you've taken stock of your talents,
fully realize the power of your unde-
veloped abilities, and are pleading to
yourself to rise undaunted to the
heights of achievement.
Ambition is whispering of the man

eluded your grasp only because you
didn't try hard enough.
You aren't incompetent; merely
careless. Now that you look back

SAYS SULLIVAN WAS
TOOL OF INTERESTS
Former Receiver Of Dominican Re.
public Gives His
Testimony

New York, Jan. 12.-That the APP
pointment OF James NJ. Sullivan as
American minister to the Dominican
republic was procured by certain fl.
nancial interests for their own ends,
was the opinion expressed today by
Walter w. Wick, former receiver gen.
eral of Dominican customs, at the
opening session here of an investi.
CATION into allegations made by Wick
against Sullivan. The inquiry Is
being conducted before Senator-elect
James d. Phelan of San Francisco,
appointed a special commissioner by
the state department to take testi.
mony. The testimony will be taken
under three general heads-the cir
cumstances surrounding Sullivan's
appointment. his fitness for the posi-
ton and his conduct In his office.
Mr.. Wick, the first witness. testi-
fed that before his appointment as
receiver of customs he met William
c. Beer. who he understood was iden-
titled with the interests OF the Ban
CO Nacional of Santo Domingo, and
Mr.. Gold said to be connected with
Beer In fruit company, who ex-
pressed desire to be appointed to
the post which Wick later obtained.
These men, in his opinion, did all
they could to prevent his appoint
ment to the customs service.
did they procure the appointment
Of Sullivan for their own ends?" Wick
was asked.
Il think they did" he replied.
After the arrival of Minister sulli.
van in santo Domingo, tn ewitness
continued, he began to suspect that
Beer, Gold and Samuel NJ. Jarvis,
said to be connected with the Banco
Nacional, had had undue interest In
the receivership OF customs.
my suspicious were first arous-
ed" he continued, when they de-
hhohucu thaI .liiS ucpob'toiy VI lic

Banco Nacional. Then Mr.. Sulli.

learned later that he was to head
$2O,OO0,0O0 concern to operate
there"
WAS he a $2O,OOO,O 900 man." ask
ed Commissioner Phelan.
"IIe was not. | am frank to admit
that | was fooled for some time af,
ter | went to Santo Domingo"
Several letters and cablegrams be-
tween Secretary Bryan and Minister
Sullivan were produced at the hear
ing. In these Sullivan categorically
denied most OF Vick's allegations and
pleaded ignorance Of any wrong do
ing in the others.

No wonder that foolish work is done

LOOKING FOR
WORK

Except in towns busy supplying
material for the warning towers, the
present winter has seen an unusual
number of applicants for work. II
is a motley procession that passes
under the cold eye Of the man who
does the hiring. Many of them are
perfectly respectable fellows, often
competent men in their own line,
They may have changed employments
short time before the war began,
and are merely thrown out as this
last man taken on. ,
In more cases the applicants car
ry the marks of less regular labor =.
A few straws clinging to their frayed
coats suggest the kind of place in
which they spent the night. Almost
invariably they claim to be hungry
and to have gone without breakfast,
though quite frequently their princi.
pal sufferings seem to be from thirst.
1t seems hard and cruel princi-
pie, yet most of these pathetic appli-
cants are judged by their clothes and
Jack of shave. A meat coat, in
seeking work, is worth ten times
what 1t costs at the store. Rather in
effective advice, to be sure, as most
of the men In the work line have
scarcely the funds to buy a linen col
lar.
The pathetic condition of the job
less, often sobbing at their lack OF
opportunity, should be a lesson to
the young fellow who never saves
money. The men who seek work
are not necessarily foolish or lazy.
Often they come into the newspaper
office and ask for old papers, any
thing to read, showing their desire to
keep posted on the worlds doings,
A mere piece OF Ill luck without a
fault of their own may have set
them adrift.
Once they are out OF employment
they grow so seedy and forlorn that
the word failure is written on theii
face. II back in the old savings
bank there were a few dollars, with
which they could clean up, spruce
up, and travel about bit like white
men, they would find their chance
all right.

"MADE IN AMERICA"
UNPOPULAR

The Made in America" exhibit
planned at Carnegie institute, Pitts
burg, has been given up. American
manufacturers said they did not wish
to admit that their product was made
in this country. They report pop
ular impression that European manu-
facturers are superior.
This impression Is probably due to
the business Joy riding OF former
period. Twenty years ago." said a
shoe manufacturer recently, anything
went. You could put up shoe with
a pancake heel of ground up leather
chips, pasteboard counter, and an up
per cut out of the loose leather in
the belly of hide. Skilfully dress
ed, II looked good. You could sell 1t
for fifty cents pair under a good
shoe. People would buy them over
and over again, even though they
wore poorly.
To-day he said. people pay their
good money to get the best stock
there is and it would ruin my bust
ness were to put out the kind of ma
terial that we built up our business
on"
Probably these conditions prevail
ed in many other trades. Twenty
years ago was a period of fake ad-
vertising. 1t was anything to work
off the goods and get away with the
money. You might get the same
mans money over and over again,
as he might fare no better If he tried
other goods.
Today every substantial dealer, re
tail and wholesale, pushes his best
goods the hardest He knows that
the best material Is none too good,
and that only by giving satisfaction
can he build up permanent trade.
There is probably no country on
earth today where producers take
such pains to turn out honest goods
as the United States. II our business
men lose trade as the result OF the
prejudice referred to above, they are
paying for the mistakes of past
generation. But wide awake people
know that a different spirit prevails
In American trade today.

CARE OF FATTENlNG CATTLE
IN WINTER

According to the animal husbandry
department of the Utah Agricultural
College regularity Is one of the first
principles of good feeding. When an
animal is used to getting its food at
a certain time each day, 1t will rise
and look for 1t as regularly as clock
work and If disappointed, will be-
come impatient and fret. This weak
ems the digestive organs and they
are not in a fit condition to digest
and assimilate food to the best ad'
vantage. Another important item is
to make the cattle comfortable. The
animals must be treated kindly II
the best results are to be obtained.

THE STATE
LEGISLATURES

Within few days the legislatures
of forty.three states will be in ses-
sion. Political heelers are swarming
around the statehouses, business men
are demanding legislation needed for
the development OF state resources,
office seekers are clamorous, and
persons with notions and panaceas
are presenting their usual visionary
propositions. 1t Is a real mans job
to be a member OF a state legisla.
turo. n -lfiK
AS whole the people OF the sew
eral states do not seem very we'll
satisfied with these bodies Perhaps
the worst trouble is that the most
capable men are so reluctant TO take
time of their business to serve the
state. There are always plenty of
good and competent men in every
legislature. But there are too many
mere self seekers OF very mediocre
ability.
The American people have some
strange notions when they get into
the voting booth. The writer recalls
a contest in another town where a
certain man was defeated who really
seemed very we'll qualified. The sue
cessful candidate never had made a
success Of anything. He had recent.
ly been III, and IL was the verdict Of
the community that he would be the
choice as he needed the salary The
other and better candidate was well
fixed" and did not need the money.

THE LEANING TOWER
OF ITALY
From a letter to the Editor of the
New York Tribune

Ever since the beginning OF the
war the newspapers have been tell
ing us that Italy Is on the verge OF
joining the Allies. But, like the fam
GUS tower OF their beautiful city Pi
sa, the Italians are always leaning
without falling.
Has It ever occurred to the reading
public that possibly Italy's attitude
Ia desired by Germany7 Should Italy
side with Germany and Austria she
would have her hands full defending
herself against hostile attacks, but
by remaining neutral she is aiding
Germany In the best way possible
Italy's enormous imports OF food
stuffs, copper, etc, are surely not
made for her own consumption, and
no doubt large percentage of them
finds its way into Germany. All this
would naturally stop at once should
Italy openly aid Germany
Funny, isn't it, that yhe Allies al
ways expect great things from Other
nations, while Germany expects no
thing from others, but has supreme
confidence in her own ability to re
main master OF the situation?

MILKING
MACHINE e

There are fourteen different makes
Of milking machines on sale In Vic
toria, Australia, used by approxim'
&tely 1000 farmers. The principal
advantage OF the milking machine Is
that It makes the farmer practically
independent of labor. Their use Is
increasing year by year and they are
particularly successful where heifers
are first broken into the machines,
1t has been found that the milk keeps
well and that there is infinitely less
trouble with sore teets.
The Utah Agricultural College dairy
department is now experimenting
with milking machine and Profes
sor George b. Caine states that he
will be able to give the results OF
the experiment within a short time
