THE MAN WHO MADE
GOOD"

Sounds like the title of an ex-
citing movie, doesn't it? Well, it
isn't, although | venture to say, his
Life has been more exciting than
that of movie star. Probably II
he were to know that I was writing
this, I would lose my position, for
he detests publicity. Still, I take this
risk in the hope it may be lesson
of encouragement for some young
Jewish boy who is finding the road
to success a little rocky and is per
haps losing his grip.
He was born in a little frame
house on the West Side of Chicago,
about forty years ago. When he
became twelve years old, his faith
or, who was in the liquor business,

set him to work to take orders from
house to house, deliver and fill them.
Although he had every opportunity
to learn to drink, he has not
touched drop of liquor to this day,
and l venture to say that he does
not know what a glass of beer
tastes like At the age of sixteen
he went into the employ of a man
who made business of purchasing
stocks of all kinds and disposing of
them at public auction. AS he
grew older he realized the large
field for this kind of work and in
duced his employer to purchase
bankrupt stocks of all kinds and sell
them in trade lots to merchants
only.
This business grew to such pro-
portions that at the age of thirty
he was earning 5000 dollars a year
and was made manager. But he
was ambitious and not satisfied till
he could manage business of his
own, and work it up himself. With
his first appearance into the bank
ruptcy court, his former employer,
who was now his competitor, caus-
ed him loss of 5000 dollars. His

second and third were also losses.
Then one evening he came home
ready to give up the fight His
former employer had offered him his
position back. Having wife and
three children to support, 5000 dol
lars looked mighty good.
1t was at this point Of the strug-
gle that he needed encouragement.
He turned to the person who was
to share his success or failure, his
wife, and conhded his troubles to
her. The test Of the character and
training of our Jewish women show
ed up at this point. 1t is only fair
to say that if every successful Jew
ish man were to analyze his sue
cess, great part Of it would go
where it justly belongs, to "Her."
Getting back to my story, this
brave little woman said, mo, you
must not 60 back. will sell my
home and you shall use the money
in your effort to get started again.
Well, that about concludes the dra-
ma. You have guessed right that
he made good, far better than he
ever dreamed In explaining his
success, l can best do SO by quot
ing one of our noted Judges who
said of him, "F4is word is as good
as his bond" This man is prob
ably more widely known by business
men than any other one man. He
is known from coast to coast as

HE'S SOME JUMPER
Man Leaps Down Elevator Shaft
From Third Floor.
He Escapes Injury, But Fails to
Escape Topeka Police.

A three-story drop down an eleVa-
tor shaft in the plant of the Pioneer
Waste Paper company at Ninth and
Adams street this afternoon failed to
save Clifford Frost wanted for man
slaughter, from arrest. Frost is
charged with manslaughter in connec-
ton with the killing of Ed Bennett,
while in the county jail, some months
ago. His trial had been set for last
Monday and Frost was at liberty under
bond. He failed to appear for the trial
and his bond was forfeited. The coun-
ty officers went in search of him.
Discovering that his wife worked in
the Pioneer Waste Paper company's
plant, they went there this afternoon.
Officer Woodward went to the third
story of the building, while Officer
Charles Richards remained on the first
floor
Woodward discovered Frost on the
third floor, and the latter attempted
to escape. He ran for the elevator
shaft, and so far as the officer could
see, jumped into it Woodward went
to he elevator gate and saw him on
his hands and knees at the foot of the
shaft, apparently unhurt. Richards
saw. him at the same time and ar
rested him. y
When taken to the county jail,
Frost appeared to be uuinjured. but
was so angry because he failed to
escape, that he refused to answer any
questions. He was locked up and his
case will come up for trial in a few
DAYS.

JOB TO ENGLISH FIRM
L. S, Navy Department Awards Big
Contract to Foreign Company.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE navy de-
partment today awarded to Hadfields,
Sheffield, England. a contract for the
manufacture of fourteen and sixteen
inch armor piercing projectiles for the
United States navy.
Hadfields was the lowest bidder by
wide margin in competition with
American manufa cturers.
At the time the navy department
announced the bids, Secretary Daniels
made the startling declaration that
the high bids submitted by American
firms were a result OF the fact that he
had kept secret the departments de-
cision to permit foreign firms to bid.
He fatty stated he believed that if
American firms had known this they
would have submitted lower figures.
The American steel companies, fol-
lowing the opening of bids, stated thai
while they were willing to agree upon
somewhat better price, they were alb
solutely unable to approach the Had
fields figures. They denied that they
had overcharged and attributed the
difference in bids to higher cost of la
Dor and materials in this country.
The contract awarded today calls for
$500 fourteen-inch projectiles at
1856 each, f. o. b., work to be deliv-
cred in nineteen months, and 5000
sixteen-inch projectiles at $513 EACH
f. o. b. works, to be delivered in six
teen months.

new WAR FUND
PRESSES HEAVY
UPON GERMANS
Hopes Each War Budget Will
Be Last One.
Minister of Finance Lentze Ex-
hOrtS Prussian Diet.
FEEL BRITISH SEA BLOCKADE:
But Germans VIII Not Starve
Because of 1t.

Greater Than Our Own"
Minister of Finance Lentze Ex-
hOrtS Prussian Diet.
FEEL BRITISH SEA BlOCKAD!
But Germans VIII Not Starve
Because of 1t.
Enemies Distress Is Even
Greater Than Our own"

London, Jan. lin submitting
the 1917 budget to the Prussian diet,
DIR. Lentze, the minister of finance,
according to Reuter- dispatch from
Amsterdam, made the following state
ment: -
Each time we have submitted the
war budget in the last two years we
have entertained the hope it would be
the last with which we would have to
deal, again we submit a war budget
and we should not like to abandon
the same hope, despite the fact that
the German peace offer has been re-
fused by our enemies with the an
nouncement of their policy of war to
destruction"
After prophesying that the attacks
of Germany's foes would fail before
the bravery of the German forces DR..
Lentze continued:
The war has severely taxed our
budget and has demanded special eff
forts. A1tho a balance of receipts and
expenditures was established on the
estimates, this was only in appearance
because many important financial
questions had to be postponed until
later. This means that after the war
we must continue our political econ
omy on narrower, more stringent lines
than formerly.
Blockade Can't Conquer U.s."
The principal thing today is that We
Will win the war, DR.. LentZe con-
tinued. THE blockade makes itself felt
more and more. 1t cannot be denied
that it lies heavily on the country and
yet it must be borne. Entertainments
on private interests, the difficulties of
supplying foodstuffs and their cost
illness certainly are very great. Many
a man with small income and a large
family has great difficulties to meet,
but what is the welfare of a single
individual as compared with the future
of our whole people.
Our enemies make great mistake
if they believe they can conquer US by
a blockade. No one starves in Ger
many despite the blockade This has
been well provided against. In enemy
countries the cost of food and the dis
tress in many respects are greater than
with us There are still difficult
months ahead of us. very heavy fight
ing still to overcome. many sacrifices
of blood and treasure still to make.
We do not deny it. But our conf
dence remains firm. We are all con-
WINGED that we cannot be defeated and
that victory will be with u.s. Our true
God who SO certainly has guided the
young empire of Prussia, will remain
with us if only we do our duty and
this we shall do with willing hearts -

Representative Sullivan Intro
duceS Restricted Liquor Bill.
Permit Kansas Drinkers to Get
One Quart Month.
BILLS TOO DRASTIC
Grant Co. Legislator Would
Bring on DrOuth Gradually.
He Thinks IL Cases OF Beer
Enough for Anybody.

Representative Sullivan of Grant
county is inclined to be reasonable in
the matter of making Kansas bone
dry state Sullivan believes a thirsty
Kansan ought to struggle alonge with
a case of beer and quart of whisky
month. He has bill in the house
providing a statutory limit for that
of liquor.
Sullivan makes no exceptions to his
rule. In event of a New Years party,
the arrival of baby boy, inheritance
of money or other events occasioning
a celebration, it will be necessary to
have saved a little from the stock of
previous months before a successful
party can be staged. While Sullivan is
a strong advocate of prohibition, he
believes the state may rush into a
complete drouth too hastily and should
approach the matter with a reasonable
degree of caution.
One Hope of Thirsty.
Bills have been offered in the legis-
lature which provide penalties for
shipment of liquor into the state, for
ownership or possession of liquor.
Even wine for church use would be
placed under the ban by certain mem
bers. But the Sullivan bill holds out a
faint, g1immering hope to the man
with a thirst.
Section four of the Sullivan bill
amends section 5549 of the general
statutes of 1915 to read as follows:
THAT it shall be unlawful for any
railroad company, express company
corporation or other common carrier
or person, or the agent of such rail-
road company, express. company. cor
poration or other common carrier OIL
person, to deliver any Intoxicating
liquor to any minor or to deliver t.
any person other than a minor within
the state any intoxica ting liquor in AM

lowing quantities: Beer, one case

STEAL TOTALS $780, 900
Now Lay Other Train Robbcries at
Door of Kansas City Student.

Kansas City, Jan. 17.-Federal
authorizes here today We're marking
time in the prosecution of H. Grady
Webb, alleged train robber, while
awaiting the arrival from Birming
ham, Ala, of Postal Inspector Naylor
and from Washington of the indict-
ment charging the arrested man with
completely in the robbery of 500, 900
in unsigned currency from a train in
West Virginia in October, 1915. His
preliminary will not be held until the
Indictment has been received, prob
ably tomorrow, and until Inspector
Naylor has had an opportunity to in
vestigate the report that Webb was
connected with other unexplained
train robberies in the south.
Authorities here were without in
formation today concerning Birming-
ham report that Webb was credited
with having been the head of the so
called Harrison gang, which is alleged
to have committed many train hold
ups. Recent robberies of such a ma
ture were said to total 100000. In
spector Naylor probably will reach
here late today.
Regarding the report that Webb
had admitted the West Virginia rob-
berry it was said at the office of In
spector Sutton here that Webb "vir-
tually had confessed, but was hedging
in some of his statements"
