STIRRING ADDRESS

John G. Jones Reads Unique Document Found Among
 Engineers Papers

In stirring address on Ideals of Busi- ness" John G. Jones of New York, spoke to the members of the Rotary club at their regular weekly luncheon at the Tutwiler yesterday afternoon at l o'clock. MT Jones is an executive of the AleXan- der Hamilton institute of New York, One of the most striking features of his address was what he characterized as My Guide which was found among the papers of the late Thomas Van AL styne, electrical engineer of the Nesting house company. MT. Jones Guide fol- lows:
 ITO respect my country, my profes- sion and myself. To be honest and fair with my fellow men, as I expect them to be honest and square with me. To be loyal citizen of the Unit ed States of America. To speak of it with praise, and act always as a trustworthy custodian of it's good name To be a man whose name car ries weight wherever it goes
 ''To base my expectations of reward on solid foundation of service rem dered To be willing to pay the price of success in honest effort. To look upon my work as an opportunity to be seized with joy, and made the most of, and not as painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured.
 
 in myself-my own brain my own ann bition, my own courage and deterni- nation. To expect difficulties and force my way through them. To turn hard experience into ca pital for future use
 ITO believe in my proposition, heart and soul. To carry an air Of optimism in the presence of those I meet. To dispel i'll temper with cheerfulness, kill doubts with a strong conviction, and reduce active friction with an agree able personality.
 ITO make study of my business. To know my profession in every de- tail To mix brains with my efforts. and use system and method in my work. TO find time to do every need ful thing by never letting time find me doing nothing. To hoard days as the miser hoards dollars. To make every hour bring me dividends, increased knowledge, or healthful recreation
 ITO keep my future unmortgaged by debts. To save as well as earn. To cut out expensive amusements until I can afford them. To steer clear of dissipation and guard my health of body and peace of mind as a precious stock in trade.
 Finally, to take a good grip on the joys of life. To play the game like . man. To fight against nothing so hard as my own weaknesses, and en- deavor to grow in strength, gentle man, a Christian
 ''So I may be courteous to men, faithful to friends, true to God. fra grance in the path I tread "
 Following the luncheon, members of the Rotary club at the invitation of Rotarian J. Frank Rushton repaired to the plant of the Birmingham Ice and Cold Storage company to make an inspection

BY-PRODUCT GAS PROPOSITION IS
 REJECTED BY CITY
President Ward Defines Po- sition of City in Refusing Proposals of the B.
 R., l.. & P. Co.

Unless the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company accepts the latest offer of the city commission as given out yesterday by Mayor Commissioner George B. Ward, on the subject of a fran chise for the use of by-product gas, that much discussed issue will be indefinitely sidetracked. The statement of President Ward is brief and to the point in refus- ing the proposals of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and in the submission of it's latest terms.
 In refusing the proposals of the rail way company, MT. Ward states that the terms are too involved, and that further reduction of rates can only be based on the consumption of gas. His statement fellows:
 The terms are too involved and com plicated for the city to consider.
 Ut appears to me the only fair way to base a reduction is on the consump- tion of gas.
 AS the consumption goes up, the rate should go down, and go on a 5-cent or 21a-cent scale
 q advocated before and still think, that some arrangement should be made whereby the city treasury would share in this reduction. Two per cent of gross r6celpLS IS GQulNdlcnl lO per CSHI pci 1000 cubic feet.
 REDUCTION SCALE
 If per cent of the gross receipts is reserved for the city on a scale. of reductions approximately as follows:
 q, 100000 cubic feet, 7l cents
 ''2,0Oo,oO0 cubic feet. 66 cents.
 "2,5O0,0O0 cubic feet, .61 cents.
 ''25O0,O0 cubic feet. 56 cents.
 100000 cubic feet, '51 cents. ..
 ''The city would benefit about $60,0OO in five years, and the public at large about $1 ,OO0,000 provided the consumption in creases rapidly enough to reach the 50- cent rate in the next five years.
 The small proportion the city receives would be trifle on any individual bill, but the aggregate would afford substan- tial aid to the publics treasury. This is easily justified as a payment for the bur der and expense to the city which is caused by the presence and operation and maintenance of the companys plant in the streets of the city.
 What the city would get would amount to 3 cents per month or 56 cents per year to consumer of 5000 cubic feet per month. So he would not be hurt. The consumer would save $l2.S7 a year, which is worth while''

Yours sincerely,
ANDREW H. WILSON

About rive months ago, some OF
our progressive wide awake busl-
ness men decided that the time
was most propitious for the organ
ization of a building and loan as
ISOLATION and the idea was hardly
conceived before the stock was
subscribed, organization duly char
tered, and all in prime working
order. While the stock holders
knew that matters were moving
along smoothly, they had no idea
that they were moving at such a
rapid gait and when a meeting
was called last Wednesday night
and the report of what had been
accomplished heard, the stockhold-
ers we're surprised beyond measure.
1t is very unusual for any or
ganization to declare a dividend
even within the year, and that the
Progressive Building and Loan
Association has declared one with
IN five months after its organlza-
ton, is not only most unusual but
shows that Natchitoches must be
in a prosperous condition, and
that the whole country is not
booming, but on healthy, steady,
substantial upward trend whereby
everybody aid everything will
profit.
