DEAR FOLKS:

Il letters to you-ln which
[ will tell yo7, some things
that I know you are inter
ested in.
You and l agree, l am sure,
that life is very much easier
for us if we can keep happy.
We all surely understand
that our greatest happiness
comes when we allow our
hearts to lead us-when we
do as much for others, if not
more, than we do for our
selves.
We all know, in our home
lite, for instance, that hap
piness flies out of the win
dow if all the members of
the family are not har-
monious.
We all know that quarrels,
chickering's, or rnlSunder-
standings in our family or
social circles do not get us
anywhere, so far as the Joy
of living is concerned.
On the other hand, life is
very rosy indeed if we are
thoughtful and kind to one
another in the family cir
Gle, and if we are consider
ate of the feelings of all
others with whom we come
in personal contact.
| have always believed that
our business life should be
as happy as our home and
social life.
[ have never been able to
understand why so many
Of us change our natures
when we go to our Offices
or stores or shops.
Why should we keep out of
our daily toll those ele-
ments that give us so much
pleasure away from our
work?
All my life I have believed
that every man and woman
engaged with us in making
our business successful
should be treated by us
with as much courtesy and
kindness as we show to
members of our household
and to our intimate friends.
Why not?
1t is far easier to mix a lot
of heart in our business and
to get good results than it
is to be cold, calculating
and mercenary-to grind
the hearts out of our asso-
clate-workers and m a k e
them human machines in
stead of the happy human
beings that the Ruler of the
Universe intended them to
be.
The most of you, to whom
| write this letter, are work
ers like myself. We cannot
all be owners of businesses,
We must work for others
but if we are fortunate t {
enough to work for a man
or a company where Heart
is a factor in the business
you know as we'll as I dc
that our daily toll is a Joy
and not a cross.
The very nature of my work
has brought me in personal
contact with a great many
business m n throughout
the country.

human Side OF their DuS1-
ness.
They have told me very
often that you would not be
interested in the personal
side of their business; and
I have always answered
them that you would, be-
cause you are very human
and are very keen about
knowing whether the work.
ers of the world are getting
as much out of life as they
S h ould and that you
would be won to the sup
port and glorihcation of
the business that had the
heart and impulse to make
its workers happy.
I knew that some day some
where I would meet a BIG
M A N who conducts his
business on the heart plan,
w h ose assoCiate-workers
and himself get out of life
a full measure of happiness,
and a man who would be
willing to let me tell you
all about it.
At last I have found THE
M A N and THE BUSI-
NESS that I'm going to
tell you about in this series
of letters. He directs a very
big business whose receipts
average daily more than
one and a quarter million
dollars.
What a great thing it is for
us to hold fast to our faith
believing that some day
we will meet our IDEAL!
This man and I met in a
peculiar way. We had
never known each other
before. personally, but we
had known of one another's
work.
He read one of my TALKS
which I write daily for the
New York Evening Mail
and he liked the HEART
in it. While he was in New
York one day several weeks
ago, [ was introduced to
him and he questioned me
a great deal about my views
as to the human side of
business.
He did not laugh at me as
others have done in days
gone by.
He listened very attentive
ly and sympathetically.
He told me that | was right
IN my beliefs.
He told me that he also be-
lieved, as sincerely as I do,
that life is worth while only
if one can so live it as to
give the greatest service to
the greatest number.
The upshot of our meeting
was that I was invited to go
through his plant in Chi
cago-to rningle with his
workers and to find out
for myself whether the
ideals that | have been
writing and talking about
for SO many years existed
there; and if I did find that
they existed, then he would
give me free rein to write
what l pleased and to print
what / wrote in the daily
newspapers of the country.

MAYOR HYLAN'S hair is red; so is
1vA his mustache. Aldermanic Presi-
dent Robert l.. Moran also boasts of
red hair, but he faunts no mustache.
Since the Mayor has gone to Palm
Beach, Moran is Acting Mayor.
The other day man called at the
City Hall and asked to see the Mayor.
After a short wait, he was ushered
into Moran's chambers Getting a
glimpse of the Acting Mayor, he ex-
claimed:
"My, your honor, but you've grown
thin. And how long is it since you
shaved off your mustache ?"

ON THE RIGHT A

Minneapolis Journal-What the
American railroad executives now pre-
sent TO congress is a plan for private
ownership and operation of the rail
roads under strict government control,
with the retention Of all the great re-
government war management These
reforms are nearly all OF such a char
acter that il would have been unlav-
ful for the roads themselves / o at,
when the government took over the
management, and thus escaped the
penalties fixed by law for consolida-
tons and combinations.
The unified operation that has been
achieved ought TO be continued. The
short and direct routing Of freight, re-
CARELESS of ownership of the rails
traversed, is manifestly an economy.
The sharing of the great urban ter
minals with roads that did not build
them plainly tends toward enhanced
efficiency. The pooling of equipment
means economies in mileage unattain-
able under the old system. The con-
solidated ticket office should go as an
inconvenience and unwise form Of
economy. Universal mileage and in
Interchangeable tickets have become in
dispensable.
But along with such reforms as
these we have nevertheless had a SER
vice that was less efficient and more
expensive than before the war. The
war congestion partly accounts for
this, no doubt. But we need the Nh
petus and inspiration of private own
ership and operation to get things
done, to reach out for the enlarged
profits that reward better service.
Under government control we have
to fear the inertia that afflicts all
public service, as well as the danger
of the building of a huge and dominat-
ing political machine. If the wal de-
partment cannot solve so simple a
problem as the prompt disbursement
of soldiers pay. allotments and insur-
ance, If il and other departments get
months and years behind in the pay
ment of bills for material. how can it
be expected that the government "a
run the railroads with all their COM
plicated problems, and do it in a way
satisfactory to the public?
Perhaps the plan of the railroad ex-
-. - -
least 1t is on the right principle.

pay is that our Legislators are divid-
ed into three classes:
/. Men who are wealthy and do not
care whether they draw any pay or
not, so long as they get the honor.
2. Men who have retired from ac-
tive business affairs and who are sat
ished to have their expenses paid in
exchange for their services, on &C.
count Of their interest in public af-
fairs.
3. Men who have some special ak
to gind and are willing to contribute
their time for sixty days to get it
ground.
4. Men to whom an assurance of 50
a day for sixty days in the winter
really is a god send.
AS long as classes 3 and 4 can be
kept down to a small proportion Of
the whole number we may get along
all right, but it would probably be
better to pay our Legislators twice as
much and have them meet half as
often, or else cut down the total mum
Der of members.

PAEENT-TEAcHER MEETING

The regular monthly meeting of the
Parent-Teacher Association was held
Friday evening, December 10th, in the
junior high school building. In spite
of several strong counter attractions,
the meeting was well attended. Mrs.
Roskie the president, presided.
The High School Girls Glee CLUB
opened the program by singing two
beautiful selections. Following this
were two speeches written at the time
of the last Liberty Loan Mary Har-
gett, who wrote the best composition
in the eighth grade, delivered her
grafton at this time and Eugene Mast,
who won first place in the seventh
grade, delivered his grafton. Both
orations were of unusual merit and
both were delivered in a convincing
manner.
Mrs. Roskie next introduced Miss
Evans, the city librarian, who gave
a talk to school patrons on Cooper
alton of the Library, School and
Home" Miss Evans is to be COM
mended for the frank but cordial and
helpful address which she gave.
Mr., Mast next spoke on "Amuse-
ments." He presented that amuse-
ments more intimately concern the
home than any other institution and
urged that parents recognize the ne
cessity of wholesome amusement for
boys and girls.
The business meeting followed. A
resolution from the Civic League,
urging immediate action in erecting a
school building, was read and in
dorsed.
A vocal solo by Mr.. Moen concluded
the evenings program. MI. Moen de-
lighted his audience as was evidenced
by the prolonged applause which he
received.
Before adjourning Mrs. Roskie asked
all persons present who had no pre-
viously signed the roster to do so be-
fore leaving. zee

THE CROW'S-NEST

With the prospect OF considerable
building this year and a portion of our
principal streets being torn in paving
operations and in getting ready for
plenty to do in the way of keeping
the u~ndisturbed streets and roads in
condition for uninterrupted traffic. All
Of our streets and suburban roads will
need extra attention after We begin
our campaign of paving. Whether the
money being set aside for the purpose
of keeping our streets in repair is suf-
dcient to meet all demands, is a ques-
ton. IL we wish to keep pace with
other cities Of this size We must de-
wise some means to maintain u out
lying streets and roads in an all
weather condition until permanent
ones can be built. In this city there
are about twenty-seyen miles of streets
and roads which need constant atten-
ton. 1t is quite an expense to keep
such a mileage in even a fair condi-
ton unless the best methods for doing
such work is adopted. In a casual
talk with the mayor of Watertown,
he explained how they managed the
. rect repair work in that city. They
have something like sixty miles of
streets. 1t used to cost them about
$72 4 drag the streets when it was
done with horse power. The city has
recently purchased a tractor and with
il a threesection road drag. With
this outfit they can drag from 25 to 80
miles a day at the cost of about $l2 a
day. They ave at least more than
half the expense owe the former
method and that will more than pay
interest on the investmen: and enough
TO provide for depreciation of
outft. Besides that. the three section
drag leaves the roadway in better con.
dition, for ii preserves the crown in
shape. This method of keeping
streets in repair i worth investigating.
Wa,ertowu also has a specially made,
hard surfaced street line for heavy

FARM WOODS URGED
BY PETERS BEFORE
FORESTRY MEETING
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 23.-Encour-
agement of intelligent farm forestry
was given by J. c. Peters, chief of the
tate cooperation work in the United
states forest service, as the most i'm
rortant of methods which have been
#dvanced for forest preservation, for
u=o in India~a Ohio and Illinois. Mr..
Peters spoke Wednesday before the
Tri-state forestry conference in session
1.re. at which the three states are
.e0resented.
Other methods, in which federal
II 4 state agencies can cooperate in
t.a work, the speaker said, are acqu-
-. on of public forests, protection
inst forest fires, reforestation OF
g. ..uded lands and conservative cut
ing.
The conservative handling Of for
IT'S connected with farms" said Mr..
Peters. "can be very largely encour-
aged through the agricultural extern
sion work conducted under the Smith
Lever law. The appropriation under
this law for the current year IS over
$4,000, 900, which Tor the most part the
states must duplicate. The money IS
allotted to the states on the basls OF
rural population. The work is chiefly
demonstrated and Is carried on by
county agents right on the ground,
One con readily see the possibilities
in this for extension in farm forestry.
No phase of forestry is of greater I'M
portance to Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
than the proper handling or farm
woodlands OIL the basis of continuous
production
Declaring that the federal govern
ment has not given adequate assist
ance to states in meeting forestry
problems, Lieutenant Colonel Henry
s. Graves, chief Of the forest service
of the United States department of
agriculture, suggested a federal law
carrying appropriations for states
which do their share in providing for
such work
