When You Borrow Money.

In the course Of human events
it becomes necessary for most peo-
pie to borrow money. Business
men who can make ten per cent
or more out of trading find it pro-
fitable TO borrow in order to carry
on business on a larger scale, dis
count their bills and carry COM
plete stocks. Others find it desir-
able at times to borrow for various
purposes, and some find it neces-
sary to borrow beeause they have
either failed to save, or have been
unable to save and are confronted
with an exigency that requires
money.

on the four rural routes out of Richmond in the
month of October. These figures are astounding.
They prove that the rural residents of Wayne
county keep themselves supplied with reading
matter. Out of the 52,427 pieces, quite large
proportion undoubtedly could be classes under
newspapers. In this, however, must be included
large number of magazines. The report is a
distinct compliment to the persons who reside in
the country where they do not have ready access
to public reading room or library.
And yet when we stop to think about these
figures, they are only true index of Hoosier at

Man Stuff

America has borrowed the term of "effi-
cheney" from Germany and is overworking the
loan. Appalled, at Germany's growing commerce
ial supremacy before the war, American business
men traced it back to efficiency in factory sales
department and transportation. The word "effi-
cheney" was used to cover the whole problem.
Because the Germans are analytical, close stud
ents and methodical, the Americans concluded
that scientific analysis of every problem pertain
ing to business solved the riddle.
What they overlooked in their judgement of
German success was imam stuff" You can an
alyze the factors of sale, put them paper,
tell them to salesman, but that will not make
him salesman. You can study factory, sys-
tematize all it's operations, and perfect a working
organization, but that does not produce an
efficient" factory. You can reduce the opera
tons of manufacturing plant or mercantile
concern to set of figures, but that will not
assure efficiency in production or in sales. Fig
ures and statistics are only guides and facts from
which you can deduce certain conclusions
If the Germans had stopped at merely gather
ing statistics, they would not have become the
commercial leaders of the world. Your analyti-
cal German, with a mass of statistics before him,
did not overlook man stuff" in his conclusions,
even if his critics do accuse him of sitting nd-
viduality and of making the individual mere
cog in big machine. He believed that back of
every big industrial success were men with ideas,
men who had the stuff to make the article
and deliver the goods.
If American business men hope to become
the worlds greatest traders they must add to
their conception Of the term deficiency" the
potential and vital factor of IMAM stuff, for no
system is greater than the men in the SYSTEM
and if these men are not possessed of intellectual
traits and spiritual qualities the system carries
within itself the germs of decay.

seen Villa in a certain place make

Villa is somewhere else. It works the
same way, imagine, In reaching Gen

Although CarranzistAs and Vi1listas
have clashed several times in the last
two weeks, none Of the former can
say positively that they have seen

here from the country to the south in

The arrivals say Villa has instruct

As there are less than dozen bands,

the scheme effectually conceals Villas
whereabouts.
Say Villa with Band
One group of bandits, for instance,
rides into Temesachic after dark and
takes all the provisions to be found
in the village. AS they go about their
looting, each bandit tells the frighten-
ed townspeople that Villa himself is
with them. None of the natives is
bold enough to go out and see for
himself whether the statement Is
true.
At the same time another band Of
raiders is robbing a village fifty miles
south of Temesachic. These bandits
tell the villagers the same story. This
may be repeated in half dozen towns
the same night. Result: Next day
General Trevino at Chihuahua City,
or General Pershing here, Is notified
that Villa has been in six widely sep
arated villages on the same night.
And the chances are that he has really
not been in any Of them.

Perhaps Johnnie was not frightened.
He was, can tell you, even if he was
a soldier boy. He was terribly fright

When night came Johnnie was still
trembling for fear his little mistress
would take him down stairs to her
father, but she didn't and he fell
asleep at last with the dreadful thing
still in his little wooden head.
And Johnnie dreamed about it, and
this is what he dreamed:
A big, tierce-looking man with a
sharp knife cut off his beautiful cap
with one swing of his terrible arm and
then Johnnie felt the gun pulled out
of his grasp.
He was plunged into basin of wa

gorgeous clothes, making the water
look muddy.

anything. Johnnie had never thought
of how he was dressed in Boy Dolls

On Stealing Corn

News dispatches from the northern part of
Wayne county state that thieves are stealing
corn The correspondent adds that the high price
of corn is believed to be the motive actuatng the
thefts, leaving the inference that in other years
when corn was bringing low price it was not
valuable enough to steal
It may be added before dismissing the sub
ject that if shoes and clothes continue to increase
in price, persons with perverted moral standards
may be tempted to ransack barns and sheds for
discarded apparel that may become valuable
possession before the era Of high prices passes.
A pair of old shoes and an old suit are worth con-
sderably more to the average man than they
were two years ago. Some of them even may be
redeemed from garrets and closets, and restored
to their original use if the High Cost of Living
keeps on increasing.

knew that he attracted the attention
Of all the toys In the playroom.
But Johnnie had fault-he was
vain and he looked with disdain upon
anyone who did not wear bright,
handsome clothes like his.
In the same playroom there lived a
boy doll dressed In suit Of blue and
white striped goods that was faded
and old-looking and the boy dolls hat
had no crown; he was not well dress

He knew he looked shabby and untidy

Little Boy Doll looked with envy

him whenever he could, but If chance
threw him near him, Johnnie would
look very stern and move away.
