GETTING A START.
JACK OF ALL TRADES.
By NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, JR.
lCopyright. IgIs.l


THERE is a man in my town. in
your town, and in every town.
who can do about everything well
and nothing very well. II he is
bookkeeper. he is a fairly good one. and
he would not be a complete failure SELL
ing goods behind the counter or on
the road. If he is a stenOgrapher. his
shorthand notes are ligible, and he can
usually read them. He is neither rapid
nor slow. II he is a practicing ply
sician, he diagnoses with ordinary &C
curacy, and is familiar with accepted
remedies, cures, and treatments: but
nobody goes to him If suffering from
a complication. Perhaps he is law
yer. He can make out a bill of sale, or
a mortgage, or any other legal docu-
ment, that will probably hold. but
great corporation employs a better man.
Most of these men would be fairly
proficient in any calling. and the
chances are that all of them know how
to do several things well; many OF
them can do many things well They
pride themselves upon their versatility
are good citizens, and earn respectable
livings. They make pretty good hus-
bands and fairly good fathers. They
are usually Industrious; but. and this
BUT looms large on this page and in
the affairs of life-BUT they have no
real definite. solid, marketable asset.
They are trustworthy only to limited
degree. They are, or can be, Jacks
of all trades, or OF any trade. They
climb one. two. or three rungs of the
ladder. and there they stay, neither
falling back. nor advancing.
am not asking any young man to
so devote himself to one thing that he
will be ignorant of everything else. l
see no reason why an eminent astron-
0pner should not be able to hit a nail
on its head Oftener than to miss it,;
but. If he prides himself upon his me-
, chanical ability in doing carpentry
work. this proficiency will come to him
at sacrifice of his more important
science.
It has been said that no man can do
more than one thing very well.
The great successes of life are those
who specialize. who attempt to do one
thing better than all other things, who
make that one thing more important
than all else. not necessarily neglecting
the little duties, not being wholly
ignorant of common affairs. They are
known not by the many things they
can do. but by the one thing they can
do better than the majority OF those
in the same calling.
Don't be a Jack of All Trades. The
Jack of All Trades is the Jack of Every
Trade. Do something better than you
do all else Build up a reputation
around that one thing, a proficiency
which will safeguard your interests
and at the same time give you reputa-
tion which means money and fame.
The modern world has little use for
the fellow who is just fair, who is con-
tent TO pIod. II awards its prizes to
the man who knows. and knowing, does.

A Qnail's Meal.

Nationwide efforts for the protec-
ton of bird life must have a some
what practical basis in order to in
terest the majority of Americans. The
sentimental appeal is TO comparative
ly few.
". -. Hansen, State game warden
OF Tennessee, makes an appeal which
should be effective from a strictly
practical standpoint. He urges farm
ers to protect the birds not only be-
cause they are beneficial to the farm
i'm destroying many pests. but the
because they are true allies of man
and beast in the scheme OF creation.
Disease carrying insects as well as
those which prey upon vegetation. are
the natural food of the birds.
Mr.. Hansen presents many examples

FOR CONVENIENCE
AND COMFORT
OF statesmen

For the convenience and com
fort Of our guests" as Hugh Chal-
mers expresses II, an addition TO the
oflce building of the Chalmers fac
tory has been completed. The ad-
dition takes the form OF large re-
ception room across the entire front
OF the building II is finished In
beautiful oak paneling and Is taste
fully furnished. Easy chairs, mag.
azine tables, writing desks, tele-
phones and other conveniences for
guests are provided.
The guests as Mr. Chalmers
calls them, who use this fine new
room to the greatest extent, are the
scores OF salesmen for various lines
who visit the Chalmers plant each
day. And the fact that the com
pany has gone TO the trouble and
expense OF building and fitting up
the beautiful new reception room for
the benefit Of these men and other
visitors is striking example of the
fine spirit of courtesy that charac-
terizes modern business methods.
I'VE believe" says Mr.. Chalmers,
that every man who comes TO our
factory TO sell something does so
with the belief that he can render
MS a service. Accordingly II Is our
duty 10 give him courteous hear
ing. We believe also that other
people who come TO visit our plant
do so because OF legitimate inter
est in seeing how we do these
things. II is our duty, and our
