SIDE TALK
Don't Whine.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Don't Whine.
Take that sentence out. I know
you didn't mean it to. but it sounds
like a whine, and it never pays to
whine in business. The rest is all
right
That is what a business man said
when I showed him a tentative copy
of an important business letter I had
1 drew the blacklist line my pen
could make thru the offending SEN
tence.
And felt ashamed of myself.
True. I hadn't meant to whine, but
If 1 had done it unconsciously 1 had
reason enough for shame
Most whining is unconscious.
The whining child doesn't realize
he is whining.
My mentor said. at never pays to
whine in business"
1 agree with him and more than
agree.
1t never pays to whine anywhere.
Whining is one of the worst habits
anyone can possibly have.
In children it is the unforgivable
fault.
can't see why mothers do not COM
bat the habit the instant it appears,
both for their children's sake and in
self-defense.
For to be in constant, contact with a
child in whom the whining habit has
become fixed is enough to wear the
strongest nerves to a fragile.
In is inception the whining habit
can easily be overcome. 1 know, be-
cause have seen it done by mother
whose four children each passed
through the stage when a wish is faith
er to a whine.
She had two methods One was to
repeat the childs words in the same
unlovely tones. 1 have seen a baby
of three respond to that treatment.
If that failed, she simply refused to
grant any wish expressed in a whine.
| nasal childish tone of mean COM
plant"
Older children do not whine in their
| tones so often as in the spirit of their
remarks.
Now and then you find a woman
with a whining voice, but more often
you meet the whining spirit.
Oftentimes these people have a
great many trials and troubles and

1t explains, but does not excuse.
No trouble is great enough Cor little

| A fine spirit may be bowed down
| by the greatness of it's troubles, but
| it will never whine
To whine over troubles is the ulti-
mate cowardice.
| And if that IS not enough. it is also
short-sighted, for nothing kills SYM
pathy and pity quicker than a whine

CROPS AND TRADE.

In the course of his weekly finan-
ciaI review for the current period,
Henry Clews, the New York banker
writes: 1.-The crop situation is any
thing but satisfactory. The govern
ment's August report for wheat indi-
Gated a yield of only 54,oo0.0o0 BUSH
els, compared with 1,O11. 900. 900 BUSH
els last year, and 72S,000,00o bushels
for the five-year average ending 1914.
This is a decrease or 10o,OOO,OOO
bushels compared with the July re-
port. For corn, the outlook is simply
fair, the government report indicat-
ing a crop of 2,777,00O,O0o bushels,
compared with 3,055, 100000 bushels
last year and 2.732. 100000 bushels for
the five-year average. Oats figure at
1874, 900 bushels, against $780,
900. 900 bushels a year ago. Here is a
decrease of nearly $50. 100000 bushels
| in the three principal grain crops. So
far as money value goes, the loss of
quantity in wheat is being very largely
offset by the rise in values. The same
is true of corn, but not of oats, which
are lower in price than a year ago
IL Is just as well " ISAlC1IlOCA thda
real prosperity consists in abundance
and not in high prices, which invaria-
bly, comes out of the public and limit
expenditures in other directions. Dear
bread will not alleviate social unrest
On the other hand, the farming
classes, who are still the backbone OF
the country. will not suffer financially
for the reason that they will get al
most as much in money and in some
instances more for this years crop:
than for last years yield, of which g
considerable surplus still remains and
which will be benefited by higher
prices. Wheat has already advanced
more than cents per bushel since
June, and might have gone still higher
had it not been for the more favorable
