THE SOCIAL LIFE OF BUSINESS

Business, while often hard and even
cruel, does not refuse to consider the
human side of life.
Thousands of captains of industries
and merchant princes recognize the
needs of man as well as those of
trade, and encourage many forms OF
social intercourse among their en-
ployes, including the establishment of
Libraries, reading rooms, gymnasiums,
and the organization of athletic and
other societies.
Exhaustive experiment has shown
that healthy social life can be added
to business without detriment to fnan-
cial profit, and that the more en-
ployees get together, play together as
we'll as work together, the more eff
cient they are likely to be.
Workers of the same grade natural
ly have much in common, and there is
no reason why they should not enjoy
one another's company in business
and out of it, why they should not
have a common business interest and
a social acQuaintanceship and friend
ship.
OF course, business must be at
tended to, and any social life which
interferes with the conduct of busi-
ness cannot very well be tolerated, but
there are forms of sociability which
the well-regulated store or factory
should recognize, and many of them
do.
Fellow employees should be friends
as we'll as business associates. They
should enjoy one another's company
at work as well as out of hours.
A hearty "Good morning" an ex-
change of smiles, a pleasant joke, a
kind word, even during the heat of
business, helps to bring the strenu-
BUSINESS of work to a livable level
and assists rather than retards the
action of business.
Get acquainted with your fellow
clerks. Know something of their per-
sonal life, as well as of their business.
Organize ball teams, associations for
business and social betterment. Con-
meet with the employees of similar in
stitutions. Intermingle and inter
change.
The greatest business men in the
world are members of boards of trade,
chambers of commerce, and other or
ganizations. They lunch together I'M
afraid of competition. Their princi-
pies should be emulated by the en-
ployees, who, collectively, are as
strong a factor in success as are those
who command them.
Let your wife come into this so
cial and business life, if she will.
Do not draw too sharp line be-
tween business and family.
Pass along the good things you have
to others, and they will reciprocate.
The more you get together, the
greater will be your accomplishment.
Remember that you alone amount
to very little, that you as a part of
a composite mass may hold great re-
sponsibility.
The successful man is not hermit
He circulates rather than boards. He
shakes hands with his competitors,
exchanges experiences with those of !
similar calIings. He has normal So

Because Mr.. Wilson was 'too proud
to fight" he allowed Carranza and his
fellow-cutthroats to murder hundreds
of American citizens and soldiers. His
proclamation, ''Run, run for your lives"
is noble document that has encouraged
these Mexican ourtrages, and may FIND
its dismal fruition in bloody war with
that country.
Because Mr.. Wilson also refused, tho
often asked, to protect our border
states, he should for the same reason
have advised Americans living in south
ern Arizona, New Mexico and Texas,
also to leave their homes and property
and run, run for their lives" 1t
would have been quite consistent with
the advice he gave Americans living in
Mexico, and had he not somehow over
looked-this fact, it might have furnish
ed happy solution to our border
troubles !

before Justice Isaac Wright, at Fit.

disturbing public worship, the out

against Beadle, and in which seven
arrests were made.
Lawyers for both sides unexpect-

testimony was halted and announce
ment made that Beadle had agreed
to resign as pastor, yielding to the
Rev. e. d. Ragon, who had been
chosen his successor by majority,
and to turn over the church keys
which he had seized after he and his
faction had "churched" all the off,
cials in the faction opposing him.
Cheers and loud "amens" burst
from all sides in the thronged lodge
hall where court was being held.
Prosecutor Oscar Lamphar ,made a
speech in which he deprecated
church dissensions and said he hoped
and believed the ''hatchet" had now
been buried forever in that congre-
cation.
"Amen!" shouted Defense Attor-
ney Morton Mcdonald, an active
Methodist, while hand-clapping,
cheers and "amens" again burst out
all over the house.

An Anti.CIimay.

Judge Moses Wright, the eloquent
good roads champion of Georgia,
said, in Rome:
after the roads of the Old World,
the New Worlds roads are terrible
anti-climax. In our elevators and
typewriters and telephones we are
far in advance of the Old World, but
to pass from their roads to ours is
to be let down like the new boarder.
Flows the grub here?' a new
boarder asked genially, rubbing his
hands, at the dinner table of Rome
boarding house.
Well, friend, We have chicken
every morning." an old boarder
grunted.
Chicken every morning!' The
new boarder positively beamed.
Chicken every morning. And how

the following story:
Once upon a time, in the distant
past, when the present Governor, A.

were candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Congress in this dis
trict, the latter told a story in the

which adequately illustrates the
necessity of preparedness. Judge
Givens' story runs thuswise:
Down in Hopkins county in a
stave mill camp some eight or ten
of the hands got drunk one Satur-
day afternoon and were belaboring
each other with convenient slaves.
An old Squire, or justice of the
peace of that neck of the woods,
came riding by on his horse. He

G MESOPOTAMIA. O
o @ @ Q @ @ O O Q O O @ Q o O

To those who know something of
the history of this, "the oldest land
in the world" the word Mesopota-
mia is full of meaning and recollec-
ton. Far and away, back beyond
the time of tradition, into the time
of myth, and across that to its first
beginnings, to the back of beyond"
as an Irjshman might impressively
put It, the history of this land
stretches. The Hittites, the Aram-
aeans, the Babylonians, the Assyr-
ians-Mesopotamia crossed and re-
crossed by the "endless marches of
Assyrian Kings" building and re-
building the Assyrian Empire-these
were the very early times, largely
mythical more largely still tradi-
tional with CLEANS here and there of
established fact.
The student of this period greets
with a curious welcome such names
as Nebuchadnezzar, Tiglath-Pileser
and Shalmaneser. Then follows the
coming of the Persians and the story
of Cyrus, the Persian hosts on their
way through the river country to
conquer Greece. Later still, the
march of the Greek hosts, under
Alexander; then the Greek period,
followed by the Roman period; the
struggles against the Roman au-
thority, the Parthian period and the
Sassanian period; the Caliphate and
finally, the coming of the Ottoman
Turk. Such are the great pylons in
the history of the country. For the
rest, since the coming of the Turk
down to the present day, it is ST.
lence
Now, after a lapse of something
like 1000 years, Mesopotamia is
once again traversed by great ar
mics. II is true that Sir John NiXon's
force is small compared with the
forces of Cyrus or Alexander the
Great, but the resources at his dis
posal are great and the issue at
stake Immediately greater than that

quest of bygone times. For many
