Ml"TAKe WAGES FOR PROFITS
Grave Error That Is Made by Most
People Who Are Working
for q Salary.

when our wage earncrs and salaried
people begin to learn that savings are
profits and that the process Of accumu-
lntlng savings is substantially the same
as getting profits out OF n business. we
shall be on the way to becoming a
thrifty people
But very few wage and salary earn
ers know this.
Their mental process TO the very
limited extent that their minds enter
into the matter at all, Is to regard the
pay check as profits. which Is of
course, Il very fundamental mistake.
In the business of wage-earnlng the
pay check IL no more profits than * The

there are Just two ways 10 increase
profits: either more money must come

the words: Francois ! began the

C. III. Murphy relates the story Of
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who. In
the days OF his active practice, was
notorious for his long-windedness
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight, when the opposing attorney
beckOned his associate and whispered:
Cant you stop him, Jack?"
"Ill stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note
"My Dear Colonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument
would like you to join me mt the ho-
tel in bumper of rare old Bourbon"
The lawyer halted In the midst OF
an imprisoned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then ne removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag. he said:
sand now, may Ii please the court
and gentlemen of the jury leave the
case with you"
A minute later he was proceeding In
stately fashion in the direction Of the

President Wilson will speak at

ing standing room at the rear of the
auditorium 1t Is reported that IL Will
be possible to thus accommodate
about twenty-one hundred.
The local committee has assigned
to outside cities eleven hundred
seats. leaving about one thousand
for the benefit OF the persons living
within Reno and vicinity.
1t appears that some of the people
are going to be disappointed about
