cording to the governments survey,

ONE BIRD AT A TIME

Some people start life by trying
to kill two birds with one stone
and go down to their graves with
out having bagged either one.
1t is fatal mistake that IL often
made.
The young man begins his career
and is naturally anxious to get
ahead.
There are two ways that are com
monty used to accomplish this end.
The one is to do one thing at a
time and do it well. The man who
does this advances steadily, if at
times slowly, but in the end he at
tains the goal he seeks. Patience
and energy and faithfulness are
rewarded by success. The other Is
impatient and wants to go forward
by leaps and bounds. He wants to
kill two birds with one stone. Some
times he wants to bag a dozen at
one throw. As result his objects
are confused, his aim is too quick
and careless, and he scores more
misses than hits.
This is unsatisfactory to the en-
ployer and in time such man
generally finds himself docking for
another job.
The wise employer is an excel
lent judge of men. 1t is part Of
his business to be such, and it is be-
cause of his ability to gauge the
capacity of his men that he sue
ceeds inelife.
He wants no drones, and the
two-bird man does not appeal to
him. He wants faithfulness, effic-
iency and steadiness, and that can
only be secured by selecting the
man who does one thing at a time
and does it well.
1t is a lesson every young man
should learn on the threshold of
life.

PUSH THE GOOD
THINGS ALONG

Win you see or hear of "a good
thing in this community, push it
along. Push hard and keep on
pushing.
You can accomplish wonders for
your home town by following such
course. 1t has its effect on the
outside world and it induces other
local citizens to follow your lead.
A few pushers can do some
things and can accomplish few
results, but it requires the efforts
of united people to make dent
in the world.
Let's all get together and make
the dent.

HON| THEY BE AT GERMANY OUT
 OF TAXES

FRANKFORT ON THE MAIN, Ger many, Nov. 20, - Beating the govern ment out of taxes by the more or less simple process of changing the char acter of ones business - from a limi- ted liability corporation to a partner ship and back again as tax day ap- proaches-is the latest wrinkle in tax lodging.
 One firm in Muehlheim on the Main, the owner of which is a resident of Frankfort, has pursued the plan so successfully that he is alleged to have cheated the government legally out of between two and three million marks since the beginning of the war.
 To prevent him from further evad- ing taxes the mayor of Muehlheim has petitioned the Hessian legislature to enact some emergency legislation which shall prevent him from altering the character of his business and es- caping once more with his war profits intact
 The man m quesuon owns a plant that originally made steel screws, and that with the beginning of the war was commissioned by the government to repair broken parts of guns and can non. At the end of June, 1915, the firm, then a corporation, had made a net profit of three and a half million marks.
 On the basis of these profits, the firm was assessed for a total of 337,O0O marks on it's prospective business be- tween April l and March 31, 1917. To eyade this payment, the proprietor liquidated his business, had himself appointed as receiver - and bios somed out as a partnership. By the time the authorities discovered this, and also found that the old firm, against which prospective taxes had been assessed was no longer existent, the profits had increased, it is esti- mated, to something like eight or ten million marks, Now there is in pros pect the possibility that the partner ship will be dissolved in a timely way so that again there will be no firm to levy against.
 In his petition to the Hossian leg islature the mayor of MuehIheim bit terly condemns the practice of sue cessfuI business firm of dodging their taxes at a time when they are so ne cessary, and at a time when those less able to pay are nevertheless obliged to bear increased burdens By a coincidence there is no existing law to prevent the alteration of the part nership to some other kind of a busi- ness. Hence the appeal of the mayor for an emergency law.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Nov. 20. - On the representations of the British, Italian, Dutch and Spanish ministers to the Argentine, the decree restricting immigration to this coun- try, which was to take effect this month, has been postponed for four months, which means until the new administration has had time to con slider, and possibly rescind it. The decree, which was recently reported in these dispatches, was of very dras- tice nature, aimed particularly against a possible influx of undesirables after the war.

AdUertlSlng Surely PayS.
By 5REEN.

The biggest business enterprises in this coun- try were built upon ad- vertising. None will deny that. Newspaper advertising IS the most potent of all. The money that Is spent annually in the newspapers of the United States IS enor- nous.
 Enormous as it IS, the return IS tenfold. And yet one occasionally will find some self sufficient business man who will declare he doesn't need advertising.
 Every man in every business needs advertise ing, Some need it more than others. 1t is norl- sense to say that a cer- tain article sells itself.
