ChillicOthe Figures That Amount
From the Entire County.
(Chillicothe Constitution


"Say, why don't you tell the people
what this hard surfaced road is going
to cost the farmer per acre?" said
Green township farmer recently.
when they find out how cheap il is,
they will all be for it,"
''That's right" broke in Chillicotbe
dentist. "Why, do you know / was
talking to land owner from up in
Cream Ridge township and he said,
II am for hard surfaced roads, and
they tell me they will cost me $70O
a year for 20 years, and Of course
can't stand that"
Alright, now let's see what these
hard surfaced roads will cost the far
mers of this county per acre. Get
your pencil and do little figuring for
yourself. Don't listen to every ghost
story you hear, but investigate. Are
you ready with your pencil and paper?
All right, let's go.
/. There are $4,000 acres Of farm
lands in Livingston county. ..
2. Their assessed valuation is $5,-
841 $1,000.
3. At ten per cent. the maximum
amount under che law that can be
voted for hard surfaced roads, these
100000 acres will pay at the outside
$584, ,451 for the 140 miles Of hard
surfaced roads, or only 48 per cent.
A. Divide 100000 acres into $584,-
451, and you find that the cost per acre
is only $1.72.
5. Divide this $1.72 per acre by 20,
to find out what you will pay per acre
each year, and the answer is only eight
and six-tenths cents per acre per year
(.0s.6c.)
6. If | own 100 acres I will pay
only $500 year for 20 years, on
their assessed valuation.
7. All other property will pay 81
per cent, or $615,549.00, which in
cludes town lots, corporations, rail-
roads, telegraph, telephone, banks,
merchants manufacturers, and other
personal property.

but Road Construction Will De-
mand Big Sums.

Wallace, Idaho.-Shoshone county's
equalized assessed valuation for the
year 1919 is s25,962I61 according to
returns from the state board of equal
ization. This is $5,178,44S less than
it was for the year 1918 and is almost
entirely accounted for by the decrease
in net profits of the mines of the dis
trict for the preceding year. The
above total does not include the per-
sonal property roll and which is es-
timated at $660,00O for the current
year and would make the total val
uation for the year $26,622.161. The
total property roll reported to the
state board was $19,6l9,44O exclusive
of railroads, telephone and telegraph
lines. private cars and public utilities
which are assessed by the state
board.
A decrease is shown in the valua-
ton of all public utilities except
power lines.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS MEET
POSTPONED SOME MONTHS
Session at Washington, D. c., Prob
ably Will Be Held First of
Year 1920.

Washington. d. Cit is now virtu-
ally certain that the first meeting of
the league of nations will not be held
in Washington in October, as origin
ally planned.
The exact date depends upon the
action of the United States senate in
regard to ratification of the peace
treaty containing the covenant which
created the league. Should the SEN
ate ratify the treaty in time to per-
init delegates to arrive for a meeting
in November it probably will be held
then, but if the discussion is much
protracted the meeting is expected to
go over until some time in January,
1920.
The first meeting of the league
council, however, can be called any
time after three of the principal pow
ers have ratified the treaty.

What Is Success?

Success is the natural reward for
judicious effort, says G. W. Robnett
in Specially Salesman Magazine.
The man who does not succeed in
his efforts is opposing the laws of
nature, or shall we say the laws OF
the universe?
Every effect has its cause.
AS the world is composed of atoms,
so is successful career made up Of
many small successes.
Success is always comparative; like
truth it is never final.
When success becomes static 1t
crumbles, just as intelligence decays
when it ceases to grow; nature or
dams that to every conceivable thing
there must be motion, either progress
sive or retrogressive.
Therefore one stage of success is
merely a stepping stone to another
stage of greater success
Success is cumulative and grows
out of the process of preparation.
You must learn to make a blue
print" of your tomorrows; anticipate
your requirements and be ready to
meet them.
In military achievements prepare
action-think this rule through and
you will find it applicable to your
every effort
What is meant by preparation?
Nothing mysterious. Preparation
means thinking ahead and getting
ready.
If you are a salesman you must
prepare yourself to present your
selling talk and you must do this be
fore you undertake to sell someone
| In the case of the salesman prepa
ration means knowing all the merits
of your proposition; all the require
ments of your prospect and ther
knowing how to make a point o.
contact in your presentation. Yot
can make your point of contact
only il you know how to express you
argument To know how to express
your argument requires constan
thought and rehearsing. Study you
prospects as in this way you Learn
the value of action and reaction
our best way of judging future expe
riences is by examining past ones.
You can be prepared by being re
sourceful; practice the presentation
OF arguments In so many differen
ways that you never allow your sup
ply to become exhausted; watch care
fully and you will be able to utiliz
to advantage many OF the objection
advanced by your prospect, but d,
not do so by openly combating him
Never let man know you are an
swering objections with combativ,
argument, for that antagonizes him
Be subtle in your manipulation O
argument and this comes only from
practice and study. That is prepare
tion, and preparation is the only patl
to success.
