President Says We'd Gain Nothing by Employing
 Overwhelming Force,
DETROIT ACCORDs
 WARM RECEPTION
ThouSands Cheer and Wave Flags as President Passes 0n Way to Ad- dress SalesmanShip Congress.
 Speaks to a0,000 at Ford Works.

Detroit, Mich, July 10.-President Wilson urged that peace be reached by mutual understanding rather than force, and defended the Democratic party as a friend of business in a speech to an enthusiastic Michigan audience today.
 Detroit's streets were lined with thousands, who shouted greetings and waved American flags at the presl- dent wherever he appeared. The hall where he spoke to the Worlds Sales manship congress was damned.
 An audience estimated at 5O,0O0 greeted him at the Ford Motor com pany's works, and tonight, at Toledo, another throng listened to a rearplat form address by the president.
 Peace" was the shouted response of the salesmanship congress audience when President Wilson asked his hear CTS what they desired when the pres ent worlds struggle was at an end.
 Urges Fair Dealing.
 He urged that business men carry justice and fair dealing into the ports of the world, particularly those of Mexico, and thereby establish confi- dence in American principles. His efforts, he declared, will be to serve all America by serving Mexico her. self for her best interests without using force, and not to serve the few "gentlemen" who wish to exploit Mex ican possessions.
 "I hear some men say,' he said, "that they want to help Mexico, and the way they propose to help her is to overwhelm her with force. That is the wrong way as well as the long way.
 After fighting them you would have a nation full of justified sus- picion. Thus you would not help them. You would shut every door against you.
 "What makes Mexico suspicious is that she thinks we do not want to serve, but possess her. And she has justification for these suspicious in the way some gentlemen have sought to exploit her possessions.
 "I will not serve these gentlemen, but 1 will serve all Americans by try ing to serve Mexico herself.
 Respect Mexican Sovereignty.
 "The way to establish our sovereign ty is to respect hers."
 The president added that he be- lieves in the old Virginia bill of rights, which declared that country may do as it pleases within it's own gate.
 This information, the president said, was for those gentlemen who would "butt in."
 The president declared that the merchant marine which some are "so slow in giving us" will be a great help to the business interests of the United States. In order to gain for eign business, however, he added, it will be necessary for American busi- ness men to adapt the goods to the demands of other countries and not try to force their own ideas on other markets. Salesmanship, he said, would go hand in hand with states manship after the close of the war.
 President Wilson's party included Mrs. Wilson, Secretary Tumulty and Congressman Doremus of Michigan. As the party was driven to the con- vention hall cannon thundered the presidential salute. Henry Ford, the manufacturer, sent the president message expressing confidence he would keep the United States out of war

London, July 10.--Violent fighting persists Cn the two great battle fronts, with tluctuating fortunes, anG brought to British minds warning O. correspondents from the opening of the Somme battle, that the steady methodical pressure, rather than brillian advances, must be expected, The Russians have crossed the Stokhod river at many points, and their continued progress is the out standing feature of the allied offens i've.
 The British official statement to- night says the Germans have entered Grones wood, and record further pro- 2ress at Orvillers and La BOiselle. In addition to a footing secured by the British in the Mametz wood where the Germans had resisted all British efforts.
 Tn a brilian attack the French have carried hill No. 97. The Ger man official communication admits the French possession of Biaches, only short distance from Peronne, which town is thus seriously exposed.
 German war correspondents are already claiming that the allied of- fensive has been brought to a stand still.
 The correspondent of the Berlin Tagesblatt with the Austrian army, testifies to the inexhaustible supply of Russian troops, great effective ness of Russian artillery and cavalry, and the immense supplies of ammu- nition as a great contrast with the conditions of the Russian forces last year.

THE SECRET OF INFLUENCE

One of the Wisest men of this generation among all our Eng lish-speaking people is Lord Bryce, whose Success Talk for Boys" appeared in a late issue. And we are going to make the publication of this message from him the occasion for put ting before our readers another extract from his writings, an autographed copy of which he once gave the writer. It is en- titled The Secret of Influence" and is well worth considering by all who aspire to be of service to their fellows. Says the great Englishman:
 There are at least four ele- ments, two or more of which will be found to be always pres ent in whoever leads, or is trust ed by, or inspires those among whom his lot is cast.
 The first is intellectual inde- pendence and the thing we call Initiative by which I mean the power of thinking for, oneself .iIstead of borrowing thoughts oh <thers, and of deciding on 2

the knowledge that is laid be- fore us we at least have the satisfaction of knowing that we have done the best we could do under existing circumstances.
 Again we suggest, and em- phasize, that the wise and pru- dent course to pursue is to read carefully each week the adver- tlsements in this paper. Read them all, every one of them, for in little places big bargains are often found.
 High prices are here, and we as a community cannot prevent what a whole nation must en- dure. But we can, and should, prevent the unnecessary loss of pennies through commercial in- difference and neglect.
 This is not a day of philan- thropy, and merchants are not advertising for the sake of hand ing their money over b the publisher. They are doing it because they have the goods and make the prices to back up their advertisements, and it is to the financial interest of the consumer to dissect every advertisement and take advantage of every opportunity thus afforded.
 The expense of reading an ad is nothing but a little time when not otherwise engaged. The savings may run into dollars.

ls YOUR MIND YOUR OWN?

We often hear people make the remark, T have mind of my own." Literally speaking, yes But otherwise, No!
 We can demonstrate the truth of the latter statement by referring to your own action, by the action of your friends, and neighbors, by the action of the public in general.
 No man has a mind wholly and absolutely his own in the generally accepted sense of the word. No man forms his con- clusions entirely from hi own observations and reflections, though many sincerely believe that they do.
 One simple illustration is sufficient to prove the correct { ness of your contention.

HIGH PRICES AND LOST PENNIES

In these days of high prices and expensive living it behooves us to guard the pennies with a far seeing eye.
 Bad pennies sometimes return, but good ones seldom do.
 It therefore becomes our duty, when we part with a good penny, to secure the greatest possible returns for it. Lost pennies soon mount into dollars, and the vanishing dollar blazes the way to poverty and eventually nowhere.
 You can save the pennies and retain the dollars if you will read carefully each week the advertisements in this paper. They will tell you at which store you can get the best bargains, where quality is of the best and price is at the minimum, where your true interests lie when you go out to spend the money that comes to us from hours of heavy and unceasing toll.
 None of us may hope to save all that we may earn. for we must live and 1t takes money these days to even exist.
 We must spend a good portion of our earnings, often all of them, and the judgment and care we use in that expenditure will determine in a considerable measure the enjoyment and pleasures of life.
 If we buy at haphazard we too frequently pay dearly for our indifferencies and lack of economical foresight, whereas if we are prudent and assimilate

AN EGG HUNT

Couple of mighty fine young ladies met the Tribune reporter in the postofice one day this week and one of them said to him: Do you want a news item for the paper?" Fletcher, " said he. We went to Osage last Sunday to the big anniver- sary dinner given by the Odd Fellows, " said she. "Gotcher," <" he replied. Misses Mollie Bur- kett and Mabel Galloway were the two young ladies and they report having had bountiful feast and just a dandy fine time.

own" At least he says he has, and he really believes what he says.
 He walks along our streets day by day.. Glaring defects in our municipal system stare him in the face. He sees them not-or seeing them, fails to heed them. His mind is not concerned.
 Another citizen comes along, points them out, starts an agitation that grows, and MT. Nameless immediately comes to life and joins the throng with lusty shouts for improve ment after the other fellow has done the work.
 If Mir. Nameless really had a mind of his own" the agitation would have no effect whatever upon that mind.
 But he hasn't. His mind is just like the minds of all of the rest of us-just like the mind of every human being-it can be influenced and swayed by other minds, just as readily as the work of his mind can influence the minds of other people.
 The articles we read, the words we hear, our conversations of everyday life all have a direct and a powerful influence over our own minds, often diverting our conversations and ideas into wholly different channels from those formerly used.
 A mind that is worth having is always susceptible to change, to conviction, to revision super induced by the wisdom emanat- ing from other minds.
 A mind that is wholly it's own is no mind at all.

WHY NOT A COMMUNITY pEBAT.
 ING SOCIETY?

That was notable arcicle in a recent issue of The Progressive Farmer telling how a debating society at Plainfield had helped the community. The society met each Friday night during the school session, members in- cluding the upper grade students, teachers, and the older people of the community. As our cor respondent said:
 Parents attended with their children at Plainfield. In fact, the man who has succeeded in winning the decision of the judges oftener than any other person has two sons almost grown, who debate with him or against him just as they. happen to be placed on the program. "
 There are hundreds of com munities that would do well to follow Plainfield's example. In fact, we can hardly emphasize too strongly the value of train ing in public speaking as a part of education. And especially does it deserve more attention in agricultural high schools and agricultural colleges. fla young man is going into farm dem- onstration work or any line of public agricultural work, he will find public speaking a necessity, and in whatever work he under takes, he will find it an advan- tage. There are probably ten times as many farmers meet ings now as there were fifteen years ago, and farmers should not have to invite professional and business men to make most of the speec: ,sson g,, such occasions.
 ofeoN and and galartesiasiSvts~ sa | essi5sivs s1fore aa s '-ts ss sais " FEas "stret one reason s] g 9'fdh 'fdhSs < farmer fails to get recognition from the govern ment is because so few farmers are well enough trained in public speaking to make their influence properly felt in political conventions and before legislative committees. Let us not only encourage neighbor- hood debating societies but de- mand that public sch ools, high schools, and agricultural colleges give more attention to this form of education.
