Something About Love

Love is beautiful and touching tribute. The
person who does not find some object upon which
lavish his affections is indeed poor and forlorn
creature. There is some question to what is the
most pure and unse6sh love in the world. Is there
anything more touching than the love of the old man
for the bride of his youth, with whom he had gone
down the years side by slider There the love of
the mother for her child the love of brother and sis
ter. Oh, there many kinds of beautiful soul
inspiring love that to enumerate them is impossible.
And, there. too are other loves, unaccountable
loves loves which destroy the objects about which
they are centered. But why enumerate all of these
disgusting. perverted. loves? ! just wanted to say
that of all the sad lot there is which sticks out
preeminently above and beyond all the rest-the
love that some men bear for themselves.
This would be sad old world if the average
was not pleased with himself. A certain amount
of self esteem Is permissible advisable. But
when man becomes so thoroughly saturated with
his ego that he not tolerate idea to which
he himself has given BIRTH when he swells up like
poisoned bullfrog under summers sun at the mere
mention of his own name, when his blood runs riot
ousy through his veins as he views his image in
mirror-that is the most destructive love of all.
There is no recovery from self love this side of
the tomb. The man or woman who is mbued with
1t doomed doomed to suffer the pity contempt
of rybody excepting the mere handful they
able to hypnotize into seeing through there own
eyes.

Trade With Enemy Countries

The American Manufactures Export Associa-
tion has called conference to consider our future
trade relations with the former enemy countries.
Our leading export houses receiving enquiries for
their products in constantly increasing volume from
buyers in Germany and Austria and it is desirable
that uniform policy in regard to such orders should
be agreed upon. During the war there was much
talk of permanent trade boycott of Germany, but
the steps taken by the various Allied Powers looking
toward resumption Of commercial relations with
the Central Powers prove conclusvely that no such
policy will be embarked upon. The British Board
of Trade has issued White Book urging British
traders to make every effort to obtain proper foot
ing in the markets of the enemy countries which are
now open to all the world. Belgian papers are
stating that King Alberts sorey 1nisused kin gdom
prosper unless it resumes business relations
with Germany Unless German traders and few
remaining German merchantmen are accorded fair
treatment they will transfer their business to Rotter
dam. In such an event, Antwerp would cease to be
transshpment port for goods destined for Germ
any on which its pre-war prosperity was largely
founded. French business are beginning to see
that the hope of salvation for their country is to
transact as large business possible with Ger
many, where the franc is at very high premium in
stead OF at very large discount as In England and
the United States. Roughly speaking, it costs the
French merchant 5000 francs to buy 81 900
worth of goods in this country as contrasted with
$3.50 francs before the war. AS the franc is worth
two and one half marks. he can purchase goods of
the same value in Germany for approximately 1000
francs or one-fourth as cheaply. The more France
purchase from Germany and the less from u.s.
the quicker its adverse balance of trade will be
wiped out. The two nations certain to enter in
to extensive and mutually advantageous trade rea-
tions hereafter. If the of European bellg-
erents are forgetting their recent animosities and
trading with one another it would be very foolish
the part of merchants not to attempt TO COM
pete for the trade of the Central Powers The COM
ing conference ought to throw considerable light on
the possibilities of recovering some of our pre-
war trade with the former empires of Germany and
Austria.-Nautical Gazette.

The High Cost Of Muddling

Suppose your total expenses last year were
100000!
Suppose. also. that the efficiency of your CON-
pany about 70 per cent.
What does this mean? r
II means that you lost $50, 900 last year. doesn't
it?
1t means that you paid $780, 900 for muddlng
and ineficiency.
1t means that you paid 81 90. 900 for organi-
zation~that was worth only $4,000.
If you could improve your organization SO that
it would be IS per cent efficient instead of 70 per
cent, you would save SIS, 900, wouldn't you?
How can you dodge these facts? How you
excuse your ineficiency on the ground of expense?
Talk about the cost of efficiency! Is there any
thing else in the world that costs much as inefi
cheney and muddng?-Eficiency Magazine.

Henry Wolfer and His Dream

The entire State of Minnesota bows it's head at
the news of the death by accident of Henry Wolfer
1t was tragic end in the usual personal sense yet
rare death in the that few leave this world
with their life work thoroughly completed as was
that of the really notable man who made the Mime
sofa State prison model for the world.
How many men are there who can retire from
active participation in affairs with the feeling that
the dream of their life has been accomplished? Henry
Wolfer did just that and expressed himself to tha,
effect His work at the prison won him recog-
milton as one of the worlds foremost penoogists
The handsome institution that stands at Saltwater
today giving its inmates every possible chance to re-
coup their fortunes, get something out of life and
experience reformation is monument to his geuus
bis efficiency his humanity and his bright, optimis-
tic sympathy for the who is down and needs re-
building y
Minnesota owes more to Henry Wolfer than she
could ever have rewarded him. But success IN a
chosen line of endexver isits own reward And the
consciousness of having accomplished real things for
ones fellow man is supreme happiness. Henry
Wolfer goes to his grave not only loved and mourn
ed but envied.-S ST. Paul Dispatch, Dec g. 1919.

COMMUNITY ASSET
Fortunate indeed IL . community
whose business men advertise wisely
and literally" says bulletin from
the Associated Advertising Clubs Of
the World, "for that community viii
grow and prospsr."
Good advertising. which means
steady advertising in space big enough
to tell the story that the advertiser
wants to present, brings new dollars
to town, and keeps home dollars at
home.
And what becomes of the dollar that
goes into the cash drawer of the local
merchant? Three -fourths Of it or
whereabouts depending somewhat On
the line of business and the nature of
the goods sold) goes to the wholesale
dealer or manufacturer for the goods
the store sells.
The rest stays in the home town.
Most of the other twenty-five cents
out of each dollar goes for rent, salar-
les of employees. and to the local coal
dealer, the light company and others
whose goods or services are needed
in keeping the store going.
Each time the advertising of local
merchants brings $4,000 Of new bust
ness to a town, at least $1,000 of it
remains in the town, and is passed
around from person to person, and all
the people share in the resulting pros
perity.
Though some people who are not
themselves in. business fail to apprec-
late it, everv one in community has
an interest in every new dollar that is
brought to town, and that it just as
true in the large city, where business
is great network of mutual interest,
as in the smaller place, where it is
easier to trace the benefits which ev-
cry person receives.
Advertising has come to be great
power in business because advertising
creates markets. Markets as in the
minds of people, and can be made
through honest advertising. Merchants
and manufacturers have found that
out, and that is why they advertise.
