WHO ARE THE RICH?

There are lot of young fellows
around Minot, just as there are lot
of them in other towns, who are con-
stantly whining that they have no
chance. For the benefit of some of
these winners let it be known that
John D. Archbold, head of the Stand
ard Oil Co., began life as poorly paid
clerk. The same is true of nearly all
of the big men of the country today
or of recent years. Andrew Carnegie,
James J. Hill, Marshall Field, John D.
Rockefeller. Thomas N. Vail, and hum
dreds of others, begun life at the bot
tom. When they were young the same
type Of whining young men stood
around and said there was no chance
for them.
The world never offered such
chances as are offered today. The
world never cried so long and so loud
for efficiency as it does today. The
entire trouble with the average young
man is the set notion that he must not
do more than he gets paid to do. That
notion always keeps him exactly in
the same job he is doing. The young
man today asks, elbow much? How
many hours ." If the work is hard he
sidesteps. If the hours are long, he
doesn't even begin.
He does this in the face of history
the history of greatness, the history
of success. The successful men Of to-
day are generally men who begin life
poor, who worked long hours, who sim
ply grabbed everything in the line of
work that presented itself, who mas
tered their own duties and added the
duties of those above them. When a
vacancy came they were ready. The
young man who does only what is re-
quired to get the money is never ready
for the vacancy above him. So he
whines that there is no opportunity.
The whole world is one great store
house of opportunity. Riches, position,
honors are awaiting men of ability and

Japan, with $4,000. 900 people, COM
prises an area less than that Of the
state of Montana. Three thousand
people are found to the square mile in
that country. But sixth of the land
in that country is arabic. Owing to
the crowded condition Japan now looks
westward to China where there are
but 500 people to the square mile and
where the climate is very much the
same as that of Japan. While the
methods that Japan is employing to
get control Of China might be ques-
toned, one cannot blame the brown
skinned little men for looking for an
outlet. If Japan and the United States
ever mix, it will undoubtedly be over
this same Chinese question.

up-to-date in efficiency.

The German Allies have made pro-

not being made public at this writing.
The proposals have been transmitted

Germany proposes to restore the occu-
pied portions of France and Belgium
in return for Germany's captured col
onies and to dispose of the Balkan sit
juation because Of its extreme compli-

insures her of existence, of honor and
liberty Of evolution to all. It is not
believed that England will at this
time be ready to consider peace terms
as the Allies appear determined to
crush the Teutonic Allies if possible.

Louis w. Hill promises to become a
benefactor of the Northwest in new
role. The president of the Great North
ern and the son of James j. Hill, the
great empire builder, has established
matrimonial bureau, which grew out
of the excursion of the North Da-
kota farmers special to the National
Live Stock Show in Chicago. 1t all
started as a huge joke. The husky
North Dakotans were pictured in the
Chicago papers as well-to-do. pros
poets who would not be averse to mat
rimony. Chicago maidens took the
matter up and now letters are pouring
into North Dakota by the thousands.
Perhaps the happiest marriages do
not always terminate through the
correspondence method of courtship,
yet marriage is sometimes considered
somewhat of lottery and happy
unions have been know to result from
just such method as President Hill
is instrumental in establishing. Per-
haps when the shy North Dakota
maidens wake up and realize that they
have fair competitors, they will en-
brace their opportunities which they
have treated with so much indiffer-
ence in the past. Mr.. Hill might be
a little presumptious in establishing
his matrimonial match factory" and
perhaps had he taken the trouble to
look over the North Dakota prairies
a bit, he might have been less hasty
in urging Chicago maidens to compete
with our own "prairie roses" who are
brighter and better looking than the
delicate city-bred creatures who would
seek to supplant them. But like all
mail order competition, our North Da-
kota girls have the advantage. The
old argument Of dealing at home and
before investing may we'll
be used.

There will be no mix-up between the
Equity packing plant and the proposed

probably at Fargo, and that the mon

be used in building the state plant
and that if the voters of the state
agree to it, later the state may take
over the entire proposition.
