For the Good of
 the COmmunlty

the AOm III uI11Cy FTHIS space is given up today to what another has said about enthusiasm. Enthusiasm IS infectious That has been demonstrated Tn BlI- mingham during the last two years of war work \ and war campaigns.
 By enthusiasm and team work Birmingham went over the top in every drive, and today her record is not excelled by any other city in the nation.
 But here is what the other fellow says about enthusiasm:
 Be enthusiastic. Hpays.
 Its great thing to have honest work to do; to know how to do it; and to be able to mix en- thusiasm into the doing of 1t.
 Enthusiasm is dynamic It starts things 1t slams them into shape, and gets them done. "It is the propeller of progress; the parent of achievements and blessed is the worker who has / lots of it.
 'To be enthusiastic about thing is to be ex- cited about it; to be earnest about 1t; to want to pitch in and do it up to the best there is in us Ut enables men to bore tunnels under rivers; 20 through stone walls build mighty enter prises; win tremendous battles, and recast the geography of empires.
 "How much of this magic quality is in your Don't be without it. Coax it into being. The enthusiastic worker is at a premium, Hes the kind that's always at premium. People like to have him around.
 He acts as tonic on everybody You can't keep him back Nobody wants to keep him back From the pOliceman outside on the beat to the president of the plant-everybody about the place is tickled to see him get ahead
 Here's how to break through-andw win:
 "Stir dram of bulldog tenacity into jumper full of enthusiasm and it will produce white heat that will burn through all barriers like an acetylene torch
 ''The way to brighten your prospects in life is to keep sunny; come clean, and show zeal for your work.
 Begin where you today Enthuse."
 The quoted part of this article was directed at the workers of another city, the merchants, the bankers, the lawyers, the doctors, the skilled Workmen the common laborer-all.
 The man at the desk, the man in the engine room, the man with pick or hoe in his hand, the man who has any work to perform; every man will do his work better if he mixes enthusiasm with his mental or muscular efforts 8# And whatever be your work, remember If you arc an pmnlOvnr that v0l1r pnnlOve has his eyes

The various trades in Ecuador are fairly well organized and by this means have considerably improved wages. For example, carpenters. ma sons. etc, now receive s1.46, or 2fis cents Aper day more than formerly Among the unsllilled classes, however, wages have not changed to any ap- preciable extent. Agricultural laborers receive from 15 to 30 cents day and house servants average s974 per month

FURS-Popularity Of
Hudson Seal Goats Continues

Initial ordering Of fall furs by re-
tailers, ard recorders which have come
in since the August fur sales, indicate
that the Hudson seal coat is the lead
ing fur garment for fall and winter.
Although seal dyed muskrat skins are
now selling at S3.25 to S4.25 apiece, an
advance Of considerably more than 100
per cent compared to last year, and
labor has more than doubled. making
an advance OF about so per cent on the
finished garment, the demand does not
appear to have slackened. Retailers
say they are finding it easier to sell
hudson seal coats at $500 this year
than at $3.50 last year.
In the high priced long coats of
Hudson seal many Of the manufacture
ers say that the straight line model is
now preferred to the dolman type,
which was popular with retailers when
they placed their initial fall orders a
month or more ago.
Sets, wraps and small scarves Of
sable, Hudson Bay sable or marten,
stone marten and mink are being
taken In larger quantities by the re-
taiiers for the high class winter trade,
1t IS said. The demand for mink has
sent the price of line dark Alaskan
skins to $50 in the hands of dealers.
