THE MAN WHO WINS.

,The employe who thinks he is "Ietting well enough alone by merely doing enough to hold his job because the boss is away or because he thinks the boss hasn't his eye on him. is apt to lose out in the long run. Bosses are not dependable creatures at all, says the Aberdeen News. They may be wider awake than the ''let-well- -enough-alone' creature irnagines, and they may have really good idea of the extent to which the employe is suffering from advanced case of hookworm even while apparently content to let things slide along. The fellow who gets along. who wins promotion or an occasional in crease in salary or gets chance at better job some place else-isn't the fellow who is content to 'let well enough alone' in his. daily job, but who is hustling to do things little better or to do little more. a

Some of the citizens of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Illinois are complaining because those four states pay more direct federal taxes than all the rest of the country together.

Wilson holds the record, and, he adds, "1 do not think it logical or sensible thing to change to an inexperienced and untried man just for sake of a change.
