agent who knows his business

the chief wheat producer of
the state. 1t also has two great

county each year bring many
millions of dollars in the mar

Marshall recently expressed
amazement at the farming

our wheatmen a compliment
by saying that the department
of agriculture could learn
something from them. We may

Tree-ripened grapefruit, such as be-

HOW TO MAKE

Character as n Business Asset

Every businessman or woman

requires personality-indiv
to command the regard and liking
and faith of employers or associates

founder of one of New York's larg-
est specially houses died and left
the good will' of his business. to-
gether with it's copyrighted name
and a controlling amount of stock
TO one of his trusted employees.
Do you know what that meant?
IT signified that the man who had
built up an honest house of good
character felt that he dared leave
the thing he had created to a sue
cessor who was related to him only
in aims, character and ideals. He
knew the name he had made honor
a BILE would not be smirched-that
the controlling amount of stock be-
longed to the man who would use
it even as the founder of the busi-
ness had used it. But he knew
more-that the very spirit of his
beloved business would continue un-
der the guidance of his successor.
Habits of honesty and loyalty and
perseverance are easy to form-or
not to form, as the case may be.
Character itself depends on these
habits. Reputation comes from
character. And standing in the
business world comes from reputa-
tion based on character. The big
credit systems are based on charac-
ter as we'll as on bank accounts.
A sudden clever stroke may win
recognition for man or woman.
People say, HE struck twelve then"
Why does twelve never strike again
for that individual? Why can he
never again deliver the goods?"
The reason is here: That one sue
cess was either an entire accident
or an accidental use of powers that
are not trained to come automati-
cally into use all of the time. Char
acter and power are built slowly on
right habits of feeling and willing
and acting.
The kind of family into which you
are born and the early training you
get happen to you. You do not
choose them. Even your physical
characteristics are to a certain eX-
tent beyond your power-but you
can choose what you think about
and how you act.
Through what you WILL to do.
and through the habits of WILLING

That King Albert's new army has

people. Wont you gentlemen have

home?" Gerald Stewart glanced at
the great mahogany clock in the

Isn't it too late for us to say more
than goodnight and go?"

Livingstone suggested, while l have

she assured him. Come over into

they crossed the hall, shrugged her
shoulders petulantly.
Mother always has something
confidential to say to somebody" she
grumbled. Gerald, if you will eX-
cuse me, 1 will go upstairs. Good

did not meet his gaze. Thanks for

II know ner few minutes," Dora
rejoined tartly. Il am sure Milton
will excuse my absence. Please ex-
plain it to him. He won't care, any
way"
She glanced at Cynthia, and Gym
thia flushed. She remembered how
Milton Van Saun had held her wrap
for her after supper, leaving Mr..
Livingstone to hold Dora's for her.
She recalled also that Mrs. Living
stone had talked in an aside to Dora
at supper, and now wondered if she,
Cynthia, had been the subject of
conversation. Again the uneasy
question stirred within her - was
Dora jealous of Milton's evident like
for her western cousin?
She Thanks Gerald
She turned suddenly to Gerald
Stewart. You and uncle will nave
to be content with my company un-
til Aunt Amanda returns" she said
very clearly, that Dora, leaving the
room, might hear the sentence. She
should not suspect her cousin of
waiting downstairs to talk to Milton.

l will follow Dora's example and re-
tire. Then you two men can have q
smoke with uncle"

now" Stephen Livingstone remark

He disappeared after Dora, thus
leaving Cynthia Long and Gerald
Stewart alone in the drawing room.
An awkward silence followed, brok-
en- by Cynthia.
Il want to thank you, Gerald"
she said.
AS she met his direct gaze, her
eyes wavered. Il would not be easy
to deceive this man.

have done. If 1 have not enjoyed

yours"
