RULES FOR SUCCESS

George Reynolds, well-known Chi
cago banker, says in the August Amer
can Magazine:
ITO sum up, therefore, these are the
essential rules, as / see them:
Choose your life work early.
Make your own rules of conduct
early.
Choose your friends carefully.
"Do more than the routine work of
your job.
Decide quickly in all matters, and
act promptly.
IF right, ignore criticism; if wrong,
change without delay.
Practice economy. Be neither ex-
travagant nor niggardly.
avoid depending upon your friends.
Give as much as you receive from
them.
practice diplomacy-it smooths the
rough spots and gives you the ad-
vantage on the next move.
Cultivate cheerfulness, to enable
you to carry the necessary and throw
off the unnecessary burdens.
Indulge in sufficient play and rec
reation to keep the body strong and
the mind vigorous.
"Be square with yourself as with
those with whom you are associated

ton and the learning of language, Col.
Roosevelt said: II have just been
speaking with clergyman of a Pol
ish Catholic church, who tells me that
he carries on services in Polish and
English; in Polish because it is nee
essary that the old people shall have
language which they can under
stand, and in English because that is
the language and the only language
that the children want to speak; in
other words, treat the use of the for
eign tongue as a transmissional use,
whether in the church or in the news
papers. And in the schools
permit no language but English. In
higher Institutions of learning let
them learn any foreign language they
wish, even Dutch, but let them learn
it as foreign language. / would have
us do our duty by the immigrant far
more clearly and completely than we
have ever done in the past; and in
return, while seeing that he got the
full benefits of American citizenship,
if he does not become an American
citizen within certain period, I
would send him back. If he treats
this place, if he treats America,
merely as a somewhat better trough
into which he can get all four feet,
then I would send him back to the old
trough. We don't need him here"

THE WAR AFTER THE WAR

A direct answer to the sinking of
the hospital ship Llandovery Castle
is the demand for a five years extern
sion of the after-war boycott against
German ships and commerce made by
the British Seamen's union This
boycott has already been fixed at six
ty-eight months; extended, as pro
posed, it will be nearly doubled. Other
organizations, throughout the entente
countries, are sure to follow British
example. By popular act, rather than
deliberate government resolution, the
wall of isolation being built around
Germany by German atrocity will
gradually become insurmountable.
Even many who have continuously
deprecated a commercial war after
the war are finding themselves borne
down by Teutonic brutality and stu
pidity. 1t is difficult to save a mad
man from the consequences of his own
madness. If Germany will continue
to act the part of the mad-dog, then
the rest of the world must use what

A CERMANIC INFLUENCE

"The resignation of Allan S. Ben
son from the Socialist party again
points to the growing rebellion Of
Americans in the party against its
alien leadership" says The Chicago
Tribune. cit is not only alien, it is
largely German. Benson was Social
list candidate for president in 1916.
Therefore his case is conspicuous.
The Socialist party is important
enough in American politics to make
Americans wish it were not anti
American. SO long as it is anti-Amer-
lean it offers an organization for all
the dissent and disloyalty in the coun-
try. Elements which would have diff
Guilty in organizing and expressing
themselves take advantage of the So
cialist organization and are there at
home. The internationalism of our
dominant Socialists is Germanic. The
sympathies of leaders in the Ameri-
can Socialist party have been German.
The rebellion of American Socialists
against tendencies and policies which
are anti-American and in political
effect pro-German is wholesome 1t
may not have effect upon such Ger
manized political party, but it will
help to expose it's ideas and sympa-
thies. The existence of an American
party committed to radical and revo-
lutionary ideas of political, social and
economic reform in consistent with
American ideas, but the existence OF
German party for operation in Amer
lean politics is inimical and this Ger
man party is not harmless one"

DON'T FUSS ABOUT THE WAR

LAS a result of the physical hard
ship which thrift has engineered -
says Margaret Deland in the August
Woman's Home Companion, 'the
French people, now that the earth
quake has come, are enduring hard
ship in a way which makes Ameri-
cans ask themselves a certain ques-
ton:
as it possible that there is some
connection between national discom-
fort and national character
eff we say there is, we must be-
lieve that the French nation, which
just now is standing, not only for it's
own life but for civilization, has been
helped to stand because it has been
educated to endure. 1t has not weak
ened it's moral fiber by 'fussing' over
the relatively unimportant.

perhaps, see a hope in our own grad
ually increasing discomforts, I
shouldn't wonder if we would even
come to accept discomforts-p riva-
tions-sacrifices real enthusir

walton may accomplish in character

GETTING PEARLS
FROM TWO RIVERS
Portage Experts State Iron From
Mines Prevents Growth of Valu-
able Portion of Clans
portage Register)

John Hume of Fl. Winnebago has
found eight pearls in Fox river, eight
miles northwest of here, one mile from
Anacker station. Six of these pearls
are commercial gems. One of equal
size, luster and shape sold for SOB.
Gordon Whitney sold one in June for
$3.50 that he found in that same
neighborhood. Mr.. Hume will sell his
pearls at Milwaukee. He was offered
81 a grain for the gems and thinks he
can get $4 a grain at Milwaukee.
Mr.. Hume sold three tons of shells
at $45 ton and has many tons ready
for market at Anacker station. There
are now 20 tons piled up at this sta
ton. Five tons are being sent from
Endeavor. About $500 pounds are
carried in one wagon.
Six tons of clans have been taken
within the past few days from the
Baraboo river at the Funk bridge,
few miles west of Portage.
Charles Clemmons has been in
charge of the fishing and the clans
are hauled to Portage with the Pratt
transfer rig, and taken to Anacker,
where they are loaded in cars with
CLANS taken from the Fox and shipped
to the La Crosse button factory.
1t is said that the clans in the
Baraboo river are without pearls, as
the iron or mineral from the Bara-
boo bluffs makes it impossible.
The CLANS in the Fox and Wiscon-
sin rivers, however, have many valu-
able pearls, and the fishers have taken
out hundreds of fine specimens.

Compare the "high" prices about
which Americans are grumbling with
current prices in conquered Belgium,
as announced by the Belian legation
at Washington. These were, the
prices of commodities, when they

cents; butter, 1898; tea, $40; rice
$1.38; soap, So per pound; potatoes
10 cents per pound; meat, $1.37 per
pound; bacon, $2.82; lard, 1898; eggs

pound; peas, $1.28; coal, $23 a ton;
thread. go cents a spool; cheap stock
ings, So a pair; boots, $1S pair;
cloth, $12 a yard. When considering
these prices, remember that Germany
burned 10000 homes in the first four
weeks Of the invasion, killed 5000
civilians, has since taken practically
everything of value from homes
churches and other buildings, has
taken three billion dollars, which cor
responds to a levy of As billion on
