THE KEY TO SUCCESS

If you want to succeed in life al
ways give more in service than you
are promised or paid for. A noted
man was asked what was the key to
success. Here is what he said:
Because I've always accomplished
everything undertook, everyone
calls me lucky. AS a boy l was
laughed at. l finally ran away to
New York, and my first job paid So
But l gave six dollars worth Of
service. And that has been my key
to success. I always gave more than
/ got. Ny employers knew that when
l had a thing in hand it would be
carried out successfully. Often dur
ing the rush hours I staid alone at
the Office until 10. No one else knew
it. I never had to tell my boss
wasn't paid enough and never had to
ask for a raise. 1t came unasked
Today can command my own price.
Do you call that luck or grit ?-Slee-

SHORTER RATIONS

You have doubtless heard the ru-
mors-by many thought to have been
started by kaiserites-that while the
people of the United States are be-
ing cut down on their supply Of
wheat flour Canadians have all they
want and are not required to use
substitutes.
Well, on the authority of the
Northwestern Miller, one of the best
known and most reliable trade pa
,pers in the country, these rumors
may be set down as false. Here is
what the Miller says in its Toronto
department under date of May 8.
Recent orders of the Canadian
food board have caused a tremendous
demand for flour substitutes and the
limited supplies available in Ontario
have been selling at fancy prices.
t"The Canadian food board has is
sued an order compelling all holders
Of surplus flour to return it to the
dealer or miller from whom it was
originally purchased. Anything over
Is days. supply is counted surplus.
The penalty for disobedience is $500
fine or Imprisonment. Dealers and
millers are ordered to take delivery
of all flour rendered under this rule,
and pay for same at price prevalent
on date of order, or at cost, which
ever is the lower figure"

While this is true it quite prob
able that public discussion of all
treaty provisions while they are still
purely tentative and before they
have been fully formulated by those
acting as representatives of the ma
tions involved, might work more
harm than benefit. 1t would doubt
less greatly increase the difficulties
in framing treaty to be submitted
for ratification to tn properly consti-
tuted bodies of the contracting gov
ernments and might sometimes pre-
vent the reaching of equitable and
amicable agreements altogether.
For this reason it is probable that
the senate did well in rejecting the
Borah bill, in spite Of it's excellent
purpose.

GREEN GOODS

We never used to believe stories
about farmers who bought "green
goods" and gold bricks and let plaus-
ible strangers sell them the Masonic
Temple or the Carnegie library. They
always looked to US like comic paper
fiction.
But
Mr.. Townley, according to his own
reports, has induced more than fifty
thousand Minnesota farmers to give
him sixteen dollars apiece for the
privilege of submitting to his will.
Can it be, after all, that there
WAS something to those old stories
after all Duluth Herald.

AS TO SECRET DIPLMOACY

The intent of Senator Borah's bill
for an open discussion Of all diplo-
matte negotiations was good and it
must be agreed that there should be
no treaties or diplomatic agreements
entered into by any governments
without the people affected by such
agreements having full knowledge
of the things to which they are OBJ
ligated by their governments and
having the right to be heard upon
such things.

PATRIOTIC PROMPT PAYERS lhe Af9uS Christmas Roll Of Honor. Words of

Said my dear Rice growing friend, D. H. Smith of Wheatley as he paid to 1920, "Your paper is full of news all the time."
 From Ben F. Smith of Hol- comb, Miss, comes a check for $500, topay up to January 1, 1922, He knows and shows that he appreciates the Argus and he goes even ahead of James Day. idson of Holly Grove, Dow Whit son of Brinkley and D. H. Smith of Moro, on advanced payments.
 Mack Mushrush of Hunter, in his usual kind way, says nice things about the Argus, as he advances his subscription.
 From J. H. Sutton, one of our dear Holly Grove farmer friends comes words of encouragement as he advances his subscription to 1920.
 Sam Maben of Brasfield, the man who has charge of the big farm improvement interests of

the Brown Lumber Co.,, was one of the many of yesterday to push up to January, 1920.
 R. D. Briggs, of Fargo, one of our many clever colored sub- scribers, said as he paid to 1920, T couldn't get along without the Argus. It is more real help to me than any other paper I get"
 Richard Chunn a colored wor- thy subscriber from Wheatley, said yesterday, q want to pay up to 1920. The Argus is worth everything to me-"
 A helpful greeting came from Prof. John Baumgarten as he sent a check to pay to 1920.
 Thus it is from every source. Pm thankful to each friend.
 There are a number of others who have forgotten to send in their remittances, and I'd like so much to have them on the honor roll of the paid ups.

At the Elks Club last night Supt. A. E. Walker of the Rock Island, met with Brinkley busi- ness men in an informal con- ference, which was that of having the shippers, business men, railroad officials and en- ployees get together and dis cuss matters pertaining to freight and passenger traffic.
 MT. Walker is well liked in Brinkley and received hearty welcome from the business men.

NEW CONSTITUTION CALI.

Every citizen has a call for service on Saturday, Dec. 14th. when the New Constitution is uR for passage or defeat.
 Everything considered the New Constitution deserves the support of every good citizen. During the past four weeks the ARGUS has contained a plain statement of the proposed measure in detail and you can readily understand it. Get those papers-read up but if you wont read then come on across and vote FOR the New Constitution.
 Familiarize yourself with how the official ballot will look. Here is a copy of the
