mANAoEmENT

Inefficient management has
wrecked more business enterpris-
es than any other single thing.
This applies to individual, Coop
erative and corporate enterprises.
In all of them good management
may surmount obstacles of many
kinds, small capital, poor mark
cts, inadequate productive facili-
ties, and so forth, but without
good management an enterprise is
doomed from it's very inception,
even though it possesses every
other advantage that can be de-
sired.
This has been strikingly shown
in the history of cooperative
wheat marketing in the northwest.
In the early days of the m6le-
ment the proposition of failure
among farmers elevators was al
armingly high. Groups of men
with excellent intentions, but
without special experience in that
field, were entrusted with the
management of business with
which they we're unfamiliar and
disaster quickly followed. Many
of these concerns are now doing
a profitable business, under ex-
actly the same ownership, without
increase of capital or any mater
ial change in the surrounding
conditions. The change has been
i'm management. Where this has
been placed in the hands of one
competent man, success has al
most invariably follower The
truth of the saying that too ma ~
cooks spoil the broth, is illust-
trated every time several men
undertake to manage a business
all the same time.

ALL TRUE

Success that nobody else
shares with you isn't worth
much.
A woman isn't afraid to trust
her husband anywhere SO long
as she makes the trip, too.
Sometimes we find fault with
others for the very things which
we think virtues in ourselves.
Anybody can be popular for a
time; it takes constant service
and decent living to make it
last.
The reason there are so many
divorces is that up-to-date So
ciety hasn't discovered q way Of
keeping fools out Of matrilnony.
