From what l have seen Of Nuss'

I believe the mule-armed youth
should be given q quick chance to
prove whether his punching ability

A SECOND
THOUGHT

If you were shown that
a certain well established
business had started with
a paid-in capital of $4,000
and in ten years had paid
each year a cash dividend
Of 20 per cent and at the
end of that time had a cash
surplus and sinking fund
of $25, 100000, you would
say it was a mighty good
proposition.
Another branch had been
established in another city
and in two years had the
best .equipt plant of its
kind in the State, and one
of the most modern in the
Country. This plant is
also on a paying basis, de-
spite exhorbitant real es-
tate and building, charges.
Another plant has been
started in the heart of a
fertile territory for this
business with a country
for a radius of SO miles
around crying for its serv-
ices and product.
This is what this enter
prise offers you. This is
what you are invited to
join. Additional capital is
required to carry on this
business on a mammoth
scale, and a certain num-
Der Of men in this country
are going to be permitted
to share in the profits.
Obey that impulse -
carry out that thought you
have in the back Of your
head - and "see W h at
these fellows have to Of
fer"

Hunt sardines win seapIanes.

California promises to be the great
est sardine canning center of the
world as the result of the use of sea-
planes in the industry on the Pacific
const. Since the first Of the year
naval seaplanes have been flying out
from the sea coast, sighting schools Of
fish and sending a wireless back to
the naval station giving the direct
location. The naval station then tele-
phones the information to the San
Diego Office of the fish and game COM
mission. Fishing fleets are immediate
ly directed exactly where to seek their
game and are consequently assured
of big catch.-Wall Street Journal.
