"AKE your job seriously and develol

NAKE your job seriously and develop your
personality-that is one of the best
bits of advice that can be offered any
young man about to engage in business as a
salesman.
Many a salesman comes to grief for no
other reason than that he does not take his
Job seriously enough Many another falls
chiefly because his personality is negative,
colorless, undeveloped and he has been con-
tent to leave it so.
To be sure, in order properly to develop
personality many, many things have to be
taken into account. OF these not the least
important is physical health.
Men of strong personality are energetic,
buoyant, enthusiastic. 1t is possible to have
all these qualities even when the health is
poor 1t is infinitely easier to have them
when there is foundation Of physical Vlgor
on which to build
Therefore, wise statesmen who wish TO ap-
peal Dramatically to prospective customers
conserve their health, if only for their per-
sonality's sake.
They do not waste nervous energy In
amusements that mean late hours night after
night. They display reasonable prudence
as regards diet. They avoid excess in any
thing.
Another important but often overlooked
factor in the development Of personality is
dress.
A salesman should, indeed, be careful in
cause of the effect on Others but also be-
cause of the influence his clothing is certain
to exercise on himself. Clothes, in very fact,
help to make or mar the man.
Shabbiness and untidiness Of attire tend
inevitably to lower the morale. Confidence
and manly self-assertion crumble in proper
ton as one feels that one is looking badly.
Yet over-attentiOn to dress is as harmful
to the DEVELOPMENT of personality as is under
attention. For over-attention involves the
forming Of mental habits incompatible with
vigorous thought and feeling. "dude's'
personality cannot be other than flabby.
The salesman eager for personality devel-
opment will further give some thought to the
question Of posture and bearing. Tt is now
psychological commonplace that the way a
man carries himself has profound influence
on the state of his mind.
A slouching posture promotes mental and
moral softness. An erect one fosters senti-
ments of courage, determination virile force.
It has been declared possible to make man
brave by training him to assume habitua1ly
the posture of bravery.
Certainly at all events it is safe to say that
slouching stunts distorts the personality,
while a good posture aids personality g
growth.
And of course, there must be constant ap.
probation of the Importance of sincerity
honesty and human sympathy as factors in
personality.
No man can long sway others to buy
goods or do anything else if he is insincere,
tricky and ignoby self-centered. These
trends and attitudes are bound to generate
repelling instead of an attracting force
They are death to personal magnetism.
that subtle quality which counts for so much
IN the winning of success in every vocation.

It was not wicked to imprison him; it was
worse; it was stupid.
According to law he ought to have gone

governments have gone to smash by enforc-

there will be scant hope of the republics
maintaining itself. Practical necessity, there
fore, and every sense of national interest
will urge party leaders to cooperate. Ex-
tremists at both wings doubtless will take
the obstructionist role but they will have no
potent body of public opinion behind them,
if the recent elections augur truly.
The world we'll may be gratifed over this
prospect, for developments in Germany dur
ing the next few years will have important
bearing on the whole range of peace and
prosperity. Stable government is prime
essential to that countrys economic recov-
cry, and hence to it's ability to meet it's inter
national obligations. A Bolshevist Germany
would be even darker peril than miltarst
Germany. Only the rule of sane and liberal
opinion will assure moral responsiveness and
real freedom which are the great requisites
Of such a government as Germany needs both
for her own good and lor that of those having
to deal with her. May the Omens which now
point to that end continue to grow.

ing this industry is to be denied the farmers
of the South, and it is to be hoped that the
progress that already has been made will not
suffer seriously in consequence of the dis
elimination of the Republican Congress.
The action of the Republicans in reducing
the funds available for fighting the pink boil
weevil is nothing short of outrage.
1t is not difficult to explain the prejudice
of the Republican Congress toward the South.
1t is traditional and finds it's answer in the
Partially Of Southern people for the Demo-
cratic party. In these circumstances there is
no occasion for surprise that the Republican
inspiration for economy found expression in
it's appropriations for Departmental work in
this section.
The Democrats have been in power, either
in the Executive or Legislative branch of the
government, since March, 1911. During this
period, for the first time in fifty years, the
South has enjoyed it's proportionate share of
the benefits of the federal treasury. South
ern Senators and Representatives have seen
to it that liberal provisions in the expendi-
ern agricultural interests, and in conse-
quence the development of this industry has
made wonderful strides.
But the Republicans again hold the relns
of the Legislative branch of the Government.
They control both Houses of Congress. They
aspire to control the Executive, also. They
have nothing to expect from the South in a
Presidential year, and what matters 1T to the
politicians, who control the party, ii the food
supply of the world is further curtailed if
they can re-establish the Republican party
in complete power?

Republican Mcombetency

-HE federal Department OF Agriculture
according to recent press dispatches
from Washington, is displeased, not
to say alarmed, over the retrenchment tnat
the Republican Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives practced at the expense OF the
agricultural interests of the South in the
preparation of the agricultural appropriation
bill that was finally enacted The estimates
of the Department were reduced by six mil
lion dollars, and Secretary Meredith, in
statement to the public, points to sixteen
federal aids to Southern agriculture that will
have to be abandoned, as follows:
Demonstration work to aid establishment
of general live stock industries in South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sppi Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma.
Dairy specialists in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas and Okla
homa.
Cereal improvement field stations in North
Carolina and Tennessee.
Cereal disease stations at Auburn, Ala;
Crowley, La, and Knoxville, Tenn.
Much work in maintaining and reproduc-
ing forests in the South, where the problem
of future supplies is most acute.
Yellow pine studies in the South's vast
areas.
Crop reporting specialists on cotton, to-
bacco and rice.
Fund for eradication of pink boil weevil,
cottons most destructive enemy, considerably
reduced.
The South and Southwest IN large measure
deprived Of it's market news service.
Plans for an office for inspection Of fruits
and vegetables at Norfolk, Va.
Work in southeastern states on insect in
festation of cut timber and forest products,
Chadbourne, n. c., station Investigating
berry and cabbage insects.
Hog cholera specialists reduced in number.
Dairy products cooperative work in Louis
lana and Mississippi.
Discontinuance of all work to develop di-
rect marketing of farm products by parcel
post, expires and otherwise.
Vegetable oil crop Investigations.
The Importance to the South of the items
indicated by Secretary Meredith are so ap-
parent that it is superfluOus to dwell upon
them, except to express surprise that Repub-
lican prejudice should prompt such an IN
warranted discrimination against our agri-
cultural interests at time Wnen the world
is crying for foodstuffs and every effort is
being made to encourage farm production
1t is impossible to estimate Inc value to
Southern agricultural interests of the federal
aids that have been extended during the past
few years in increasing farm production and
stimulating the development of the cattle in
duatry. The demonstration work as a means
CT aid to live stock industries in Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, North and South
Carolina and elsewhere in the South has
contributed wonderfully to the steadily in
creasing production. It is to be regretted
