Kalkaska, Wholesome joker has
said that "the best thing waiter does

There is a waiter in Michigan who
is too busy TO care what the phrase
means. He has waited efficiently and
therefore his wait for success In life
has been shortened. Being dumb, he
hasn't much to say about it, but here
Is his story.
Walter Stanley Grohe has resided
I'm Kalkaska since his birth, 10 years
ago. He began his life with handi-
cap. He was born dumb. That doesn't
reem to bother him. tho. for he smiles
it seems, always.
Six years ago Stanley's parents died
within three weeks of each other and
left their son, Is years Old. legacy of
thrift and tenacity. During the two
years following Stanley continued his
school work earning his board and
loom by waiting on people at meal
time in a restaurant.
Then when he was fifteen years Old
he stopped going to school and devo.-
ed his time and energy to the feeding
If the hungry public.
After two years he was able to pu
chase the restaurant in which ha
worked. Now he owns four restau-
rants and hopes to become proprietor
of still longer chain of "eat shops"

GAZE AT OBJECT; HYPNoTlzED
University Professor shows Boys they
Can Perform Queer Stunts


Columbia, Mo.-A demonstration Of
hypnotism by Prof. Mox Myer, head
of the psychology department at the
University of Missouri, showed that
hypnosis can be induced without the
influence of a hypnotist.
Professor Myer hypnotized students
by having them gaze fixedly at a
bright object with no sound to dis
tract attention.
Later he suggested that one hypno-
tized student was an artist painting
picture; another a wounded soldier
home from the trenches; still another
an intoxicated diner out, and the stu
dents acted their parts.
Lee S. Eads of Hamilton, Mo-, was

OUR TRADE IN MUNITIONS.

Many believed, few weeks ago. that the demand
from the Allies for munitions made in our factories
VAS surely declining The number of new orders
vas very small. In the stock market the prices of
the shares OF the so-called warorder companies
depressed by this belief, by the advance of the Allies
on both the!east and the west fronts-because this
bromised to shorten the time during which NUM-
lions would be needed-and by the approaching
new taxes which would reduce our manufacturers
profits. Little weight was given to the purchases

Quite noticeable and significant is the change in
character of the desired product which the new
orders for munitions show. The Allies now

GOOD BUSINESS AND CHARITY.

Roger BabsOn rs the man who writes articles on
monetary theories and such similar practical sub
iects for the Saturday Evening Post and other pa
pers
He cannot be charged with sentimentality. When
Babson writes, his articles are notable for common
sense of the sort which appeals to the oft-lauded
"hard-headed businessman
Recently he wrote:
Statistics show to conclusiVely that this whole
socalled love others" is mostly buncombe mis-
judgment Instead of talking charity, should quit
our hypocrisy and take definite stand that certain
things good business and that certain things are
not coed business.
Natures greatest law, the law of equal reaction,
teaches clearly that every word act thought of ours
reacts upon ourselves either helpfuy or harmfully
according to whether it helps or harms others.
In economic language this means that one nation
can permanently be secure prosper only other
nations obtain security and become prosperous. In
everyday language this means that there cannot be
sellers without buyers and that bargain is good for
neither party which is not good for both parties.
The only way the United States retain its pres
period of prosperity, the business and the golo
which we have corraled in this country is by building
I'D the prosperity other countries. Hence believe
that the popular idea OF patriotism is largely mistaken
and very shortsighted.
