SOME OF HENRY FORD'S
RULES FOR SUCCESS

IN order that some OF our people may
have the chance OF emuIating his ex-
| ample we are presenting some of his
rules for success, which we believe
f followed closely will result in sue
cess. Here they are:
Everything tegins with thought
If ma knows where he is going
nothing will stop him.
Every man gets what he deserves;
if his thinking is wrong he will lose
out
Most people make the mistake in
business of thinking about the dollar.
If man is trying in his business
to serve the good of others the money
will come, he can not fail.
One of the first things every man
must realize if he is gong TO succeed
is how little he can accomplish alone;
the second is that everyone has some
good in him and can do something
we'll
believe in big business; the bigger
the organization the bigger the oppor-
tunity for more men to contribute the
special good in themselves.
Every man can do some one thing
well, but no man can do lot Of things
well at the same time,
In business there is no escaping the
law Of compensation; if you do man
a mean trick, you pay; il you do your
self a mean trick you pay, -
If man worries it is because he
has done something that's not on the
square or else because he hasn't
thought deeply enough to clearly un-
dcrstand his problem
Most people eat too much, and in
consequence they sleep 700 much and
don't think enough.
My advice to every business man is !:
work and read and think and then
work some more and then some, but
don't ever stop thinking.
Don't ever be afraid of criticism
criticism is the greatest educator in
the world if we will only let it be.

barrel and the murderous beasts were
driven away before they found him.
He was finally destroyed. Charles
Sherman had two robins nests close to
his window. He had tackled wire
around the trunk to fool the cats, but
hearing a tumult one morning he
aroused himself in time to see pair
of crows clearing out the last of the
nestlings. Angels must weep to see
such useful and interesting creatures
destroyed wholesale by vicious cats and
piratical crows. There should be a
handsome bounty on crows and the
keeping of a cat should be a misde-
meanor.

In the midst of the shower. Chad Of the

If you doubt it, read what he said:
IF it's gonna rain like this all the
planting days there are left, II any.
we might as well exchange our seven
and half tons of high grade fertilizer
for Liberty bonds Anybody want to
swap The difference between hold
ing our investment and Liberty bond
is that our interest runs the wrong
way. Better buy bonds!'
OF course, Liberty bonds constitute a
mighty good investment, but seven and
one-half tons Of high grade fertilizer.
Gosh. Chad: how did you accumulate
such a quantity, and where do you keep
IT? Just as soon as the sun comes out TO
stay. the exchange suggested can prob
ably be made on advantageous terms

Twenty-three years ago when Mrs.
Gladys Aver Brewster of Dexter was
small child she was presented with
solid silver necklace which she lost
somewhere in field near the E. G.
Aver residence on upper Main street.
persistent hunt failed to bring to light
the lost necklace, but on Wednesday al
ternoon, June 13, while man employ
ed by Mrs. Brewster's mother, Mrs.
Aver, was engaged in planting beans
his hoe caught in something and pull
ing an offending obstacle out of the
ground, he discovered necklace, which
he took to Mrs. Aver, who Immediately
identified it as the long lost article OF
jewelry. Aside from being covered
with dirt, it was none the worse for its
long burial in the ground. During the
% years that have elapsed the same
field has been plowed and planted and
replanted time and again without the
necklace being discovered.

City Engineer Charles E. Pray Of
Calais has submitted his report on the

wall on the Calais end of the Interna-

he said that there were two ways Of
doing it. The first was to tear the old
wall down. the other it to build around
the old wall. He advised that the latter
way would be the best and last the
longest. AS near as he could f1nd out
the city did not own the strip OF land
where the proposed retaining wall
would occupy. The land wherein the
bridge rests was decided by the propri-
etors Of the old toll bridge in 1894 to
the city, but they reserved the toll
house, where the custom house now is
and this strip Of land which runs out
to tide water. The city needs approx
imately 1000 square feet for their pur-
pose and the Mayor was instructed to
get in touch with the owner, u. S. I'm

IF WAR COME
~ N. b. COCHRAN

we'll IL II > 10 DC WAL "AaI "a -
What will it mean? What will 1t do
to us as a nation? War is hell, OF
course. But peace isn't heaven.
We've had peace for many years, but
when you analyze it it's been one
hell Of peace-peace with other ma
tons, and religious, industrial and
political peace and hell among our
selves. If we go to war with guns
some Of our brave boys will be killed,
of course. But hundreds Of thou
sands of them have been murdered
by industrial oppression and Occupa-
tiOnal diseases in the piping times OF
peace-and among them countless
women and children. Peace hath her
victims no less oppressed than war.
The wars between the Vets and
Drys, Protestants and Catholics,
Gentiles and Jews have brewed as
nasty mess of hatred in America as
the war Of the many national selfish
nesses in Europe. Notwithstanding
all the years of peace, the brother
hood of man was still the beautiful
dream it always was - just as still
and Just as much of a dream.
After watching the effect of war
on England and Russia, with kings
tumbling from their thrones and the
masses coming into their own, have
come to believe that in war rather
than in peace lies our hope of real
progress toward social and industrial
justice. Even the threat of war add
ed new dignity to labor. The MAN
who might have to drop the handles
of his wheelbarrOw to shoulder a gun
looked to his boss more like a MAN
than a slave.
In peace the organization of hui
man society was coming too slowly.
In war it is making the strides of a
giant. Dollars can't make guns or
shoot them. Dollars can't make or
sail flying machines. Dollars can't
run locomotives or battleships. Not

dollars. We can take the dollars
without the owners consent, but the
MEN must offer themselves. And
the nation finds that it needs more
than gun-fOdder. 1t needs men to
plant and tend and harvest the food
crops, to run the railroads, to build
ships, to manufacture the munitions
of war, to feed and clothe the men
who do the fighting. And it needs
to protect the health of all Of the
men, women and children of the ma
ton.
By way of preparedness we are
beginning to study ourselves and
each other, to take account Of our
man power as well as of our physical
wealth. Young men are examined
for the army and navy-as to physi-
cal fitness. Many are rejected as IN
fit. Why? Won't that question
have to be answered? Won't even
the blind see that child labor hasn't
paid% Won't they see that nation,
however rich, can't protect its mate
rial wealth unless it carefully con-
serves its wealth of man power?
Can't the most ignorant aristOcratic
boss begin to understand that so
long as nations resort to war to set
tie their differences the nation that
would survive must see to it that
motherhood is protected so that
wholesome, healthy, robust babies
are born and reared to wholesome
manhood?
We have tried to convince employ
ers of women that every working
woman is entitled to a wage that will
enable her to live a healthy, whole

vain. If war will make department
store owners see in every girl clerk
a possible wife and mother of a
healthy soldier son, the war will be
worth while.
