ONE SECRET OF SUCCESS,
Career of Man Like James j. Hill
Offers Many Suggestions.

The career of a man like James
j. Hill, whose death has just occur
red, offers many suggestions to am
bilious young men. Young fellows
who long for success might well put
into the study of such a life some of
the time they give to attending mo-
vie shows. Not one in ten million
people can be Jim" Hill. But the
methods by which he became a great
business leader can be initiated in a
small way by everyone with sub
stantial results.
A moderate degree of success can
be achieved without ones possessing
any special genius. If he has just
average capacity, and will initiate the
methods of the captains Of industry,
he can win his way.
The foundations of Hills success
were laid in years Of quiet obscurity,
when he was only a stevedore and
clerk for a packet company operat-
ing on the Mississippi river. During
those years of humble work. Hill had
a reputation as merely talker. But
lie was keeping his eyes open.
He spent his life on the wharves
talking with anyone who knew any
thing about river transportation. In
time he came to a thorough compre-
hension of the actual conditions sur
rounding these enterprises. When he
started in business for himself, he
understood in every detail, the con-
ditions he had to deal with.
Here is revealed the lack of most
people in the business world. They
look for success through sudden
turns of fortune. and are too impa-
tient of slow processes of growth. In
stead OF acquiring the last detail of
information about a business as Hill
did, they wait for some unexpected
stroke of luck to turn up.
The man who wins out in any trade
is the man who knows its operations
from the ground up. After that he
must have organizing capacity. But
thorough information is the first Sc
cret of success as career like Hills
shows.

Think This Over.

Who sympathized with you when
your girl was sick? Was it your home
merchant or was it Sears, Roebuck
& Co? Was it Montgomery Ward C
Co., or was it your home merchant
When you want to raise money for
the church or some needy person 10
town, do you write to the Fair
store in Chicago, or do you go to your
merchant? How much does Siegel,
Cooper & Co. give towards keeping
up the sidewalks in your town or
paying the minister's salary? When
you were sick how many nights did
Hubbard, Spencer & Bartlett sit up
with you? When your loved one was
buried was it Marshall, Field & Co.
dropped the tear of sympathy and ut
tered the cheering word, or was it
your home merchant? When your
church society wishes to build 4 new
church or hold fair or bazaar, do
you depend upon T. M. Roberts for
patronage, or is it your home mer-
chant who contributes?

He Counted His Money.

A Webster City dentist had a
strange experience with a patient the
other day. A farmer had a trouble
some tooth which he wished extract
ed and was told Ly the dentist to take
gas, as he would then fall asleep and
the tooth could be removed without
his knowledge. The farmer con-
sented and drew out his pure, when
the dentist informed him he need not
pay until after the tooth was extract
led. The farmer replied he was not
thinking about paying him but
thought he would like to count his
money before he took the gas

Was at Least Kind Hearted.

One OF cur prominent young la.
dies attended church one Sunday
evening no. long ago, and sat direct
ly behind tall, handsomely dressed
stranger, whom we supposed to be e.
travelling man. At any rate there
was rayeling hanging over his col
lar. Being one of those generous,
whole-souled girls, who grow to be
motherly old ladies, friends to every
body in town-she thought how glad
bshe would be ii kind-hearted Girl
would do so much for her father il
he should come to church with a
raveling down his back, so when the
audience arose to sing she conclude 1
to pick it off. Carefully raising her
hand she gave little twitch. but
there was more OF it appeared Set
ting her teth, she gave another pull
and about yard OF that horrid
Dthread hung down his back. This
was getting embarrassing, but being
determined she gave it another yank
land discovered that she was unravel-
4 ing his undershirt. Her embarass-
ment was so painful that chloroform
kcould not have aileviated her suffer-
kngs, nor a pint of powder hidden
her bushes when the gentleman
burned with an inquiring look to see
What was tickling his neck.

HIGHWAY BOARD FOR CHANGE.
Does Not Believe that the Present
Method OF Issuing Bonds Will
Give the Best Results.

Ten counties of Iowa, during 1916,
are planning on extensive road build
ing campaigns for which current road
levies will not be ample to cover the
cost and which will necessitate the
issuance of refunding bonds to take
up road fund warrants. The pref
ent laws make it legal for boards of
supervisors, without submitting the
matter to vote of the people, to is
sue such bonds. This is the method
which is to be adopted in these ten
counties to pay for the work they
plan to do.
While in each of these cases the
boards of supervisors are acting in
accordance with the wishes of the
people of the county as expressed in
mass meetings held to consider road
improvement projects, the state high
way commission does not advise the
extensive use of this system. Under
the present law, the board of super
visors is the sole Judge upon the
necessity for issuance of bonds. The
people have no voice in the matter.
There are undoubtedly instances
where advantage has been taken of
this privilege and where the bonds is
sued were not to the best interests of
the county.
On the whole, however, under ex-
listing conditions the average results
attained have been the most practi-
cal way for many counties out of fl
nancial difficulties. While advocat-
ing no special system of bonding, the
highway commission would urge upon
Legislators the framing Of a law
which would take the bond issuing
power, especially upon road making
projects, from the boards OF super
visors as 1t exists today and place it
definitely in the hands of the voters.

Harding Normal Human Being

The truest word that can be said
about Mr. Harding, the republican
candidate for governor is that he is
a normal human being. He goes to
TO extremes, one way or another. He
proceeds in q commonsense, business
like manner. And the explanation Of
his extraordinary success in the eIec-
ton may be attributed to the fact
that the people wanted a return TO
normal things. They are tired of be-
ing excited first hy one man and then
by another and only to find out that
for all their hysteria they get nothing
that counts.-Cedar Rapids Repub-

Now there is news in that ad, just
as much as in any column of the pap
er. Every housewife will read it,
and will look in that space in the
next issue, to see what has taken its
place. The line telling where the
berries come from has value.
A thing sounds and tastes better
if it comes from a place you have
heard of, or even if you never have
heard of it, you feel that someone
is back of the product guaranteeing
it. The second line gives a hint of
quality. Price quotation completes
the ad. A big business success can
be based on that kind of a notice
written regularly, even if it does not
take much space.

SHEEP AND DOGS.
Government Bulletin Takes Up the
Raising of More Sheep.

A government bulletin takes up the
raising of more sheep. The principal
obstacle is not anything essential to
the life of the sheep. Our country
is ideally adapted for them. The old
proverb says, The sleeps hoof is
shod with gold" Wool and mutton
sell for high prices and sheep can live
on land that otherwise would lie idle.
The dog problem is the one great
difficulty. AS population increases,
the number of dogs also is augment
ed The country districts are full of
roaming ana bloodthirsty mongrels.
Once they get the taste of fresh meat.
no farm animal of their size is i'm.
mune from attack.
The farmer would place high Ii
cense fees on the keeping of dogs, to
get an ample fund to pay damages
with He would also enact stringent
laws about confinement of dogs. But
the dog owners are quite as infiuen-
tial an element. Half the legislators
who are asked to pass a strict dog
law, are themselves owners of these
pets They love and cherish these
faithful friends of man, and will not
assent to any restrictive measures
tending against their health and con-
tentment.
Yet the failure to raise the num-
Der of sheep that could be produced
is a failure properly to develop our
resources. 1t increases the cost Of
wool and mutton-two of the most
useful substances raised by man. The
community wants its dogs and it must
expect to pay for them.
The laws should compensate the
farmer literally for damage done to
his flock. The compensating author
tiles should consider not merely the
actual damage done to these killed
or bitten, but the general lowered
tone of flock due to nervous fright.
Dog owners should be we'll assessed
for such losses. Then perhaps they
would realize the necessity of dis
posing of dogs having this unfortu-
nate tendency to prey on a valuable
domestic animal

Fielder Jones last night passed
out the tip that Eddie Plank would

games. He Is now more than 40
years old. but the bes, pitcher that
ST. Louis has this spring. He can

enough nip and guile TO make II
worth while for his old friends to
drop out TO the park and see him

changes In his lineup today. He

Davenport started the game for

Young singled and Stanage scored
both with a double to left. That
finished Davenport and NcCabe re-

Heilman and Burns. and some poor
throwing TO bases by McCabe, gave
the Tigers three more tallies.
Groom blew into the game at this
