Reciting that they could not see

Peyton packing plant Of E. Paso or

luton Tuesday afternoon favoring the

culture 10 prescribe regulations for
the packers and orders the packers to
dispose OF their stock yards and pri-
vate lines of refrigerator cars within
two years, although the secretary OF
agriculture may allow them another
four years il he deems II necessary
The main fight on the packers comes
from cattle raisers and the whole
sale grocers, the latter fighting on
the grounds that the packers are
gradually buying up canneries and
cornering the vegetable and food mar
ket just as they have gained control
OF the meat industry.

Efficiency Is Urged.
Hard Work Does Not Necessarily
Get Best Results.

Thrift Magazine:
A great many pretty notices
have been written about hard work
being the key to success. Hard
work alone never put any man any
where excepting in a premature
grave, or in the hands of a sto-
mach specialist. The man who
fumes and explodes and eats his
lunch with his watch on the table
is cheating himself out of many
good year of active service.
Careful planning and system
will do more toward boosting yon
along to the goal of your ambi-
tion than four-minute meals and a
sincere endeavor to do three things
things at the same time. The men
who really accomplish the most
seem to be the least hurried and
the least busy. Its the non-skid
fellow who succeeds every time.
The powerful engines that drive
the mighty Leviathan across the
stormy Atlantic make less fuss
about their work than the little
asthmatic peanut roaster on the
corner that coughs to death every
time strong wind blows.
Poise and deliberstion will dc
more for you than excessive per
spiration and a sour stomach. In
fifty years from now the world
will have forgotten whether you
partook of noon-time repast sit
ting down or on the run. NJ
character of modern times has ac
complish more than Marshal Foch

never seems to be hurried, over.

dertakings if he had not, first o
all, understood the value of get
ting himself systematized on I
