THRIFT IN EARLY LIFE.
That Was the Start of the Fortunes of
Our Greatest Financiers.

The early life of the great builders,
the self made dnanciers OF this coun-
try, shows the early cultivation of the
saving habit
With few exceptions our Rockefel-
lers, Hills, Harrimans, are men who
endured great privations to save their
first few hundreds or thousands of dol
lars.
But In the use of these savings these
great men of business seemed most
reckless
Each in turn staked his all on little
known and decidedly shaky proposi-
ton and stuck with it until he won
out,
Rockefeller put his few hundreds,
saved from Il bookkeeper's salary, into
making a start In the oil business,
business so unknown at that time, SO
full of failures, that 1t was with the
utmost difficulty he was able to Dor
row any additional funds when in des-
perate need
James j. Hill staked his few saw
ings, scraped together from his work
as dock laborer and clerk, on a well
nigh bankrupt railroad, on which the
experienced financiers of his day
would scarcely lend a penny
Ford staked his own savings on
building a gas engine and small car.
of which it was the motive power.
When he was ready TO build his first
cars there is no record Of the banks or
the big financiers of his day offering to
furnish the funds to gather together
the organization and build the neces-
sary factory to make and market his
product On the contrary. his enter
prise was SO poor risk that the few
thousands necessary to get his first
start came from wage earners and
small business men. the class who no
doubt wore considered "pikers," In
vesting in a business which, had the
so called financial authorities paid any
attention to 1t at all, they would have
pronounced highly speculative
Yet these and the hundreds of other
successful enterprises that have built
immense corporations and made mil
lions and millionaires are the kind Of
investments that appeal most to the
optimistic progressiveness of the Amer
lean investor Industrial Department

Simon ]. Lubin, president ef the
state commission on housing and
immigration.
Ii a public statement the state
official says the need for labor in
California does not refer to perma-
nent employment but is merely a
demand for large numbers of men
and women whose services will be
required for only brief periods and
that the cry that there Is shortage
of labor for the harvest is by no
means new. Season after season
the same wall has gone up from
the farmers, " says President Lubin
Upon many occasions in the
past the commission has called to
the attention Of the people of the
state the cause that it believes rest
at the bottom Of the difficulty
Briefly put they are these; First,
inadequate wages; second, poor la
bering conditions; third, a lack of
a central clearing house for labor
intelligence. The commission has
found that the employer is only be-
ginning to wake up to the fact that
the housing and sanitary conditions
in his camp have anything to do
with his ability TO bold a satisfied
force OF men.
Looking at this situation solely
with the general welfare of The
