men AND BRAINS


Whatever your station in the bust
ness world, it was the use of your
brains that placed you there
1t you have climbed the ladder Of
success, you have made good use of
your brains, have employed them to
your advantage.
If you have slipped downward in the
scale OF life, you have failed to take
proper advantage of the opportuni-
ties afforded you. You have held the
business instinct of your brain in
check. You have not permitted it to
function properly.
Brains were made to use-not to a.
buse.
This fact should be kept well in
mind by the young men of this COM
munity who are just entering the door
Of life's career. That career will de-
pend upon the manner in which they
employ their brains.
The enthusiasm of youth is natural
and is to be expected. 1t is .valua-
BILE asset.
But enthusiasm should not be al
lowed to run it's course unchecked. 1t
should be curbed, lest it go over the
brink of the commercial precipice.
The business world is full of preci--
pices-destructive pitfalls for the feet
OF the implusive and the unawry.
Our young men just entering upon
their careers can not do better than to
take sober counsel of himself, of his
position, eff his hopes in life.
The bridge To success can not be
crossed in day. It is long and there
are many Instructions to battle the no.
vice in the world of affairs.
But brains properly employed will
win.
Thirty minutes at the close of bust
ness each day can do wonders. The
labors OF the day can be analysed Was
each task properly performed? How
could it have been improved upon?
Let the brain answer those two
questions properly each day and the
problem of success in life will have
been solved.
The human brain is like a garden.
When cultivated it produces in album
dance. II neglected it soon becomes
a barren waste.
The young men of this community
have brainss-plenty of brains. We
want to see them grow and thrive in
the garden of life.
Cultivation will do it.
Neglect will not.

In looking over the political field
we are considerably surprised at the
number of "favorite sons" trotted out
by the two great political parties. We
presume they are all great men-or
at least they would like to be consid-
cred great. At any rate, being a fav-
orite son entities one to a certain kind
of distinction, and it also gets his
name in the newspapers. But if they
are seeking newspaper publicity and
political distinction, both can easily be
secured. Let each favorite son go Sc
riously to work in a conscientious eff
fort to stabalize our unsettled condi-
tions. If they can pull down that
chestnut we are for them-all of them
for anything they want. Any one
can be a favorite son, but it is going
to require more than that to keep us
off the rocks during the next few
years. We need man who can reach
the chestnut, regardless of what his
political affiliations may be.

Millions of people are waiting with
such patience as they can muster for
the time when prices will come down.
They have faith that the time will
not be long deferred. But we fear
they are doomed to disappointment.
Before any great reduction can be
expected in the retail market there
must first be readjustment of the
price of labor, raw materials, etc. Can
you imagine the laborer voluntarily
reducing his wage, or the manufac-
turer his product? There is an end
less amount of time before hs, and
much of it will be consumed before
the sky loses it's control of price quo
tations.
