Puny Claims Exemption.

disappointment for the physicians
and exemption board was registered
when ''Puny" Blevins, famous Kendall
football star, claimed discharge from
the draft on account of dependent rel
atives. Blevins stood six feet three
inches passed every test with rec
ord grade and was pronounced by
some of the physicians as the best
specimen of manhood they had ever
seen. Blevins sensed the situation as
well as anyone and told the physicians
how hard it is for him to stay out of
the national service when all his COM
rades are leaving.
Edward A. Moore took honors for
the day when he expressed himself as
willing to go. despite the fact that he
has been married since 1915. He is

send her back to the folks while he
fights in France.
Among the curious claims for ex-
emption can be rated those of two
former inmates of an insane asylum
and that of Nelson barnett, who is
the support of five children, all of
whom are orphan nephews. Try as
they might, the exemption clerks
could find no form or blank which
fits Mr.. Darnett's case.

The Value of Little Things

Most of us are inclined to underestimate the
value of punctuation Marks As for the little coma
too many think it too insignificant to be serious
ly considered. How great mistake this may be
is seen from the following ipcident When Congress
some years ago was making tariff bill, one of the
sections enumerated what article should be admitted
free of duty. Among the articles were all foreign
fruit plants" etc.. meaning plants imported for
transportation. propagation and experiments. In
copying this tariff BILL the recording clerk accident
ally changed the byphen to a coma, making it read
all foreign fruits. plants. ETC." AS result of this
little error. for year. until Congress could rem
edy the blunder. all oranges bananas, grapes, and
other foreign fruits admitted free Of duty The
little mistake cost the government not less than ST.
600 900. A pretty costly comma, that. And strk-
ing object lesson of the value of little things Think
it over!-The Castle.

Grow With Your Business

When you get to the point where you believe
that you know it all, and close your mind to new
suggestions under the impression that because of your
wide experience there nothing left for you learn
it is time for you retire, for you entering upon
period of stagnation thas leads down to failure.
Many starts a business that becomes sue
cessful and acquires Roadway until he becomes so
self confident that he ceases to progress when he
really acls brake upon his business. His
set formulas hold back the normal progress of the
business he has created. Too much formula is death
to business, just as it is to government or to life.
Learn to utilize new ideas from the outside.
Keep on the lookout for ideas which you
apply and make practical in your own work or
business well as in your life. Beware of too
sceptlcal attitude towards ideas. Keep your
mind open. William E. Towne in Nov. Nautilus.

The Trail of The
Wobbly Calf
A STORY WITH A MORAL

In olden times, the story goes, a certain calf of
unripe essayed to strip of woodland His
legs very woby and the trail he blazed reminds
one of lumberiack returning from a vacation dog
sent out to fetch the calf home followed the same trail
boy sent after the dog did likewise Finally the trail
of the calf evolved into village street and in time became
thoroughfare of an English town.
In business, many persons following calf trails
doing business after the fashion of some mummied
ancestor The business who gets his registered
in the hall of fame does by violating precedent doing
things differently cutting out the calf trails with their
grades and One of the foes that business man
falls into while treading the calf trail of commerce is
that of fighting his advertising appropriation as though
it were milestone about his neck, when he could, by
giving it chance with his other statesmen, make it
live investment instead of dead expense.
Let the people know through your advertisement in
The Journal, what you have offer and business will
come your way.
