-Four Minute Talks
BY WILLIAM H. BAwDEN
BY WILLIAM H. BAWDEN
THRTET

IF you want to know whether you
are going to be a success or a failure
in life you can easily find out. The
test is simple and infallible. Are
you able to save money? If not,
drop out! You will fail as sure as
you live. You nay not think so, but
you will. The seed of success is not
In you. James ]. HILL" These words
are quoted in a story in last weeks
Saturday Evening Post, and are quite
to the point. Everybody courts sue
cess. Some do 1t in a haphazard
fashion that does not augur well for
the outcome. Mr.. Hill gives us the
t~ouchstone that sc many of us need.
1t Is not without It's significance
that 1t is exactly this thing that our
government has been trying to i'm
press on the citizens during the war
and after. The past few years have
witnessed a destruction of things ma
terial on a scale unparalleled in the
worlds history. Nations have been
apparently reckless in their expendI-
ture of their peoples money, so as
to end the war as quickly as posi-
BILE. Ever since the kaiser loosed the
dogs of war on an unsUspecting and
u~nprepared world, intense and I'M
~precedented suffering has been the
portion of a large proportion of
mankind. 1t was far less costly to
end this misery at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, rather than to try to
a " money by ~prolonging the strug-
gle.
This prodigious destruction of
world wealth, together with a start
lingly lessened number of men to
pay for it, has done much to impov-
erish this generation and has almost
reduced u civilization to penury.
Tharn Is hI1f nnn Snuoroic-n ran,nlv
of a twofold nature: produce more,
save more;> work harder, be more
thrifty. Moreover, there Is no other
road to h success for which every
one of us longs. No human being
has yet succeeded in making some
thing out of nothing. 1t is in ain
to hope that one may make wealth
by legislative fiat. The only way to
make wealth Is to produce it.
With the many demands for short
err hours and larger pay it is a won
der that this truth has been lost
sight of. Shorter hours means in
evitably lessened production, while
larger pay means increased cost Of
production. With a larger wage that
is not larger in comparison because
of the increased cost of living, and
with a lessened production that in
creased the cost Of living still more,
n may have more money without
having more wealth.
1t Is a more equitable distribution
Of the wealth produced, and not a
decrease in production itself, that
should be sought, And with this
fairer distribution should be a thrift
that will make the wealth Possessed
still more valuable. When a young
MAI or woman starts out with the
thought thai the world owes one a
living, or a young couple face the
world together in the effort to estab-
fish a new home, the measure Of
success will be their determine
ton to save. 1t is a sure index of
character.

Relief Work
Planned for United States

According to a report by the Euro
pean Relief Committee OF the Ma
tioral Lutheran Council, 4S7 Fifth
avenue, New York. it is likely that
the Lutherans will make a loan of
a million dollars to the Lutherans
of Poland in order hat they may be
re-established on their farms and in
their occupations.
Rev. o. H. Pannkoke of New York,
In charge of the campaign for cloth
ing and money. made the following
statement: I'VE are facing two vex-
ing problems in trying to help the
Lutherans of Poland. The immediate
problem is to bring relief. A group
of 600.0 600 people are in danger of
dying by tens of thousands unless
clothing is supplied them before the
winter is far advanced. From practi-
cally every state clothing is on the
way In carload lots. Much is already
crossing the sea to Danzig.

New York Educator, SO,
Saws Wood as Daily Task.

New York.-Professor Ste
phen J. Sedgwick of Calumus
road, Elmhurst, L. l., celebrated
his ninety-ninth birthday. For
more than half a century he has
been a resident of the old town
of Newtown. He attributes his
excellent health to a love of ath-
letics in his youth.
Mr.. Sedgwick was born in
Geneva, N. Y, August 80, 1920.
When a young man he came to
New York City and engaged in
teaching. Many years ago he
qualified as a land surveyor and
accompanied the engineer corps
Of the Union Pacific railroad
when the rails of that road were
laid across the continent. At
present he is working on an elab-
crate genealogy of the Sedgwick
family and is illustrating a Bible.
One Of his daily tasks Is saving
wood, and this, together with
gardening work, fills up a large
part Of his time.

The BralnY Bee.

The following incident testifes to
the remarkable sagacity and efficiency
of bees. A hive was being "spied upon"
by a wasp. When wasps ascertain a
hive Is worth attacking they often
succeed in, ousting the bees. Every
time the wasp approached the small
entrance hole a bee came out. An
hour later the wasp was dead.

The Belding banner-news. (Belding, Mich.) 1918-1973, 1919-01-01

Other people have an intense feel
ing of loyalty binding them to the
home soil. 1t is partly sentimental
affection, partly keen sense Of the
advantages Of business unity and CO.
operation. They feel united by a
common tie to all the people who live
in the town. -
Bedding has a lot Of people Of this
kind, who have been the mainstay Of
all our progress They feel keen
interest in every person or thing that
was ever conQected with the place, and
any project tending to work for its
benehi has their hearty and enthus-
iastic support.
Insofar as all our people acquire
that point of view, we shall attain our
ideals as a community. This in
wolves giving a preference in all our
business relations to anything that
comes from the home town. If a
suit of clothes sold here lis just as
good. as one bought somewhere else,
we should buy the suit of clothes sold
here. We might well buy it, even if
it was net quite so good, but it il not
necessary in our good stores to make
that Kind of sacrifice.
When a town fully acquires that
unity Of spirit and purpose and feel
ing, the possibilities Of its progress
are enormous. 1t advances as q
compact mass Of people devoted to one
end, not as lot of separate individ-
uals all working for diverse pur-
poses. ~

LITTLE 1919.

One more little youth in the pro-
cession of the ages comes toddllng
on the stage and one more -tottering
graybeard drops off, We can let the
old one go. He gave US many Scr
rows, some discomforts. Still we
shall remember him with good will.
He brought us a great relief, noble
triumph, a tremendous vindication of
truth, honor, liberty and American
ism.
The New Year, in the traditional
language, brings us new white page
on which to inscribe our record of life.
We shall write it while laboring un-
der some difficulties that did not ex-
list in the old New Years. We were
not bothered much then, comparative
ly speaking, by the cost of living.
Taxes were relatively small. There
were no worries about fuel and food
supplies;
But this thing we have in spite of
all perplexities, clearer vision. We
have found that materialism wrecks
any nation where it predominates,
thai money does not bring .satisfac-
ton, that the spirit of service is bet
ter.
We have learned that things hereto
fore regarded as impossible in our
community life, can be accomplished
by systematic organization and pub
lie spirit.
We have found thai class spirit,
snobbishness, intolerance of convic-
ton, are hindrances. We see now
what can be done when we all take
hold of common causes in the salts
faction CT working together. We
have found that the limitations that
often seem to thwart us are very fire.
quently in our own minds only. The
things that a person or a community
ought to have can usually be had in
some way or ether, if we go about it
right.
So then, Little 1919, we start the
upward path with you! In spite of
). heavier burdens, we begin with a new
hope and 'greet the unseen with a
cheer!

ovERcROWDED TRADES.

The excuse is given by some mer-
chants for not using any newspaper
advertising, that they are making less
money thap' before prices went up,
consequently they can't afford to
spend a dollar in advertising. In
fact, as they say, they haven't the dol
lar to spend. -
They claim that they have not been
able to sell their goods to the public
at advances equalling the higher pric-
es they have had to pay.
Where such a condition exists, it
shows something wrong with the
trade. Retail merchants as class
do not get rich. They werk hard for
all they get. They are entitled to a
fair prifit. They are getting no more
than that before the present rise in
prices began some five years ago. They
are fairly entitled to ask prices for
their goods corresponding with the
high figures they have to pay for
goods, help, minor expenses and per-
sonal costs of living.
Where they cannot get prices show
ing this fair advance, it indicates that
too many people are engaged in that
line of business and that it is sub
ject to a competition to a fatal de-
gree. Such conditions cannot endure.
Where competition is so sharp that
business men cannot get a decent liv-
ing and a fair return, some one is
sure to be crowded out of the trade.
1t simply means that there is not
room enough for all who are trying
to serve the public in that particular
line.
, Hence, if competition has reached
that poin+> of intensity, advertising be-
comes more than ever necessary. If
anyone has to drop out, it will not be
the store that advertises.' That store
is sure to stay in the game. 1t will
>be the little place, that lacks funds
and confidence to carry on an ener-
getic sales campaign, which will be
the first to 'succumb in an overcrowd-
ed trade.

FUTURE OF. THE AIRPLANE.

Followers ~of aviation express ex-
IRENE confidence in the prospective
Developments air flight, and believe
it will be an ordinary factor in daily
life within few years. Hopes are
expressed that the airplane factories
need not be strapped, even if we
reach settled peace. 1t is felt that
the demand for planes for peace pur-
poses will soon warrant the invest
ment of large sums of capital in this
industry.
There will be an effort to establish
airplane mails on an important scale.
Sporting people will want planes for
pleasure purposes. They already
lind the highways so crowded with
the little Fords and others, that there
is no longer any fun in automobiles.
Nothing but the air can satisfy them
now. 1t will certainly be a relief to
the general public if the speeders and
scorchers Will now resort to the. air,
and leave the roads free for white
folks.
There is much talk of alrplane lines
across the ocean and predictions are
made that London papers of Monday
morning. will soon be on sale in New
York Tuesday evening.
The human mind is too ingenious
and too daring to let the airplane
stay where it is. 1t is no doubt the
sport of the future, and will stir the
mechanical and athletic world as the
first automobiles did 15 or 20 years
ago. .I.

retreatling all along the line The
infantry boys say they have compare
