FIT THE MAN TO THE JOB.
Square Pegs Are Not Made to Go Into
Round Holes.

Round Holes.
In the American Magazine is an ar
ticle entitled Are You a Square Peg
In Round Hole"' by Herman Schnei-
der, dean Of the school of engineering
of the University of Cincinnati. Dean
Schneider has devoted his life to max
ing successes out of failures and to
finding the right job for the right man
He believes that failure is seldom more
than an indication of the right path to
success Among other things he says:
every individual has certain gem
eral traits; every kind Of work has
certain general characteristics. The
problem is to interpret the traits Of
the individual, classify the character
istics of the job and then guide the
individual into the job for which he is
supremely fitted. This is one real EN-
ployment problem.
There are very many human char
acteristicst but there are a few broad
and general ones which frequently
make for success or failure.
There is type of man who wants
to get on the same car every morning
get off at the same corner. go to the
same shop, ring up at the same clock
stow his lunch in the same locker, 60
to the same machine and do the same
class of work day after day. Another
type of man would go crazy under this
routine. He wants to move about. met
new people, see and do things. The
first is settled; the second is rowing
The first might make a good man for
shop manufacturing a standard prod
uct; the second might make a good
railroad man or good outdoor car
penter. A failure in one line of work
may prove big success in another"

DORMANT SPRAY FOR APPLE OR.
CHARDS.

1t will be soon too late to apply DOR
mant spray to apple trees The object of
it's use is to destroy blister mite, oyster
shell and San Jose scale, and plant lice
eggs. Lime-sulphur used for this purpose
as contact insecticide is applied in, a
much more concentrated form, than as a
summer foliage spray for fungous dis
eases. Hence the dormant spray should
be on before the leaf buds begin to open
Otherwise more or less injury will result
In the present emergency it is important
that no money be wasted for unnecessary
labor and materials. There has been
much misdirected effort by certain or
cherdists in apple spraying in the past
Know what you are spraying for and act
accordingly. If San Jose scale is not
present and the other insects mentioned
are not troublesome do not waste money
on the dormant spray, but concentrate the
effort on summer sprays for controlling
chewing insects, scab and other fungous
diseases.
Many orchards, however, are sadly in
need of dormant spray this season, and
on these it will be false economy to fail to
apply it. Where it is needed, thorough
application of dormant strength lime
sulphur will always pay good dividends,
Concentrated lime-sulphur ready for di-
luting can be purchased of various dealers
throughout the State, or it can be made
at home Where large quantities are
needed the latter is cheaper.
Concentrated ime-sulphur as purchased
should be used part to of water Some
authorities recommend slightly stronger
and others slightly weaker solutions.
The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station at Orono will mail to any address
a pamphlet on the preparation and use of
lime-sulphur in orchard spraying Other
publications relative to the insects men
toned above will also be sent on request.

WHAT DOES DEATH MEAN7
An Artist Called II "the Chance to Ex-
plore the Infinite"


A new definition of death is that by
French artist, who has now tested
the truth of his own words. death"
said he, sis the chance to explore the
infinite" The definition is in the same
mood as that Of the late Charles Froh-
man as he went down on the Lusita-
MIA. 1t is a bit more definite, however,
than death is life's most beautiful
adventure" 1t expresses the nature
of the adventure.
This French artist, 1t seems, was en-
amored of the space idea. He was
ever viewing the world as vessel voy-
aging. He endeavored with artist vi
sion to visualize the world as rushing
through infinitude by other worlds or
In a stream of comets, planets, aster-
fods, suns. And his dream was of
flights across the CULTS to Mars, to
Venus, outside the solar system, to
Sirius and the greater suns. With
paint he strove to render what Goethe
expresses in the song of the archan-
gels in the opening Of Faust"

GOOD ADVICE.

IiS VI IliS SiSdlSSI NoAiSSlS Illdt COll-
front us at this moment is misguided
thrift, declares statement issued to-
day by S. W. Straus, President of the
American Society for Thrift
In our efforts to be periodically eco
nonical, we find ourselves going to ex-
tremes in the opposite direction. which is
Just as great a menace as wastefulness
and extravaganza" said he. Gone of
the worst calamities that could befall our
nation at any time would be to stop the
wheels of industry, but more especially
now.
The point is to differentiate between
destructive and constructive thrift. In
times of peace or war, waste is repre-
hensible, but indiscriminate tight fsted-
~xbe provident are made to suffer with the
-mprovident
Because the whole nation suddenly
has become conscious of the necessity of
thrift, we as individuals should take care
not to defect from their normal courses
he tides of the nation money that turn
the wheels of industry. America as a
nation is not in any danger of running
short of money, but we are threatened
With food shortage because on US rests
zhe duty and responsibility of feeding
our allies
Everyone can distinguish the differ
ence between prudent living and waste
fulneSS. If a man buys suit of clothes, a
pair of shoes or a hat, his money goes
INTO legitimate circulation and furnishes
uses for capital and employment for la
Dor.
THE American people has responded in
j grand way to the needs of the hour
We are going to conserve our resources
and increase our food supply in way
that will astonish the world, but in doing
shis we stand face to face with economic
hardshps unless each Individual is gov
erned by common sense, prudence and
foresight
in brief, administer your expendi-
lures in clean, honest legitimate and
patriotic manner. Eliminate waste of food,
bearing in mind that every mouthful you
save may be the sustenance of some
starving fellow-human being abroad. We
should not tear down on one hand while
we are trying to build up on the other.
Those in business should not hesitate
be courageous and keep on going. Amer
3ca has everything to make herself pros
porous. The billions of dollars which
are being raised for war purposes will
eventually return into the pockets of the
people. Even the money which we loan
10 our allies is being spent Immediately in
America, The national bond issue means
that for some years to come this country
will be paying back the obligations in
cured today. America is still in the
midst of the greatest era of material
prosperity the country has ever known.
In the matter of Individual expendi-
ture every man should be guided by his
own necessities and the needs of his coun-
try. Let none of US be Stacker in the
business world This is no day for the
coward or weakling. Be brave and con-
tldent. Remember the most acute need
Of our nation today is intelligent, pro-
1uctlve constructive thrift.

cards will require two cents postage ex-
ceptinK drop ones in the Wheeling
zone.
The new rate of postage will increase
the revenue at the Wheeling office and
its branches at Benwood. Warwood and
Elm Grove. very materially, as shown
by the large number Of one and two cent
stamps sold at the offices.
Assistant Postmaster William II. ll"r-
nish stated yesterday that G00.000 two
cent stamps. 100000 two cent envelopes
had been the average monthly sale at the
Wheeling office and branch offices dur
ing the past year. and. that 90 per cent
Of the two cent stamps and envelopes
sold were for individual letters. which
means an increase OF $1,000 in receipts
for the additional one cent postage on
two cent letters. The avcrag" monthly
sale of one cent stamps for the same
period has been 100000 stamps and ESQ
900 postal cards. receipts amounting to
$500. which will about double under tho
new tax. making an increase Of about
$1,000 in post card and ono cent stamps.
It is estimated that tn" increase ut the
Wheeling office and it's branches for IN"
above small stamp denominations will
be fully $4,000 monthly under tho new
