will be we'll represented among the
goats rounded up by such as Ponzi,
of recent fame. They are the pro-
fessional people, who are paid for
their expert services and have no
business Of their own to put money
in. They are always good pros
poets" for stock statesmen and all
those fellows who let folks in on a
good thing"
People who are building up q
community, putting their profits into
a business they know about and can
see in operation, or into their own
business, are not easy marks for pro-
motors, not as a class. They know
too much about expense, profit and
loss. They know that It takes un-
firing and enthusiastic effort to earn
dividends and that as rule men who
are able to earn dividends, gravitate
to the receiving end of their game
quite naturally. Yet some profess
sional people think that 1t is so easy
to develop big paying business on
some splendid idea (they hear so
much about the pay streak in ideas)
that there are profits to be dis
tributed broadcast among strangers
who are willing to invest some dol
lars. They little know that in bust
ness, contrary to professional condi-
tons, the ideas are only the paper
upon which accomplishment is writ
ten. Ideas furnish the channel of
approach to success. Work is the
accomplishing factor. Professional
ideas are worth money in the market
but are useful only to somebody who
knows how to make them blossom
into dollars.
When considering out-of-town in
vestments and all propositions pre-
sented by strangers it is we'll to stop,
look, listen, count ten, and ask your
banker about it. Bankers have such
a dispassionate way of looking at the
weak spots in stock selling schemes,
and bankers, everybody knows, have
way Of gathering wealth unto
themselves. Find out that way If
you would do likewise. It is not the
way of the spectacular long shot; it
is not highly entertaining-it is low
in speed and high in probability.

Problem of
Right Oil in
The Right Spot

When the big Arrowrock dam was
building some years ago there was
bunch of alleged mechanics up on
the spillway trying to make a loco
motive turn over. 1t was a nice
day for puttering around, but fl
nally so much time had been con-
sumed without getting anywhere
that one of the men made a trip
down into the canyon bottom to the
office of the master mechanic.
The man told his tale into the lis
tening ear of the silent master me-
chanic, who necessarily chewed gum
with regular, rhythmic action of
the jaws. When all the battling
problem had been laid before him
the M. M. stopped chewing, spat,
and said:
"Blankety blankit! go up
there and put some oil on it," In
few words he indicated where the
oil should be applied. They soon
had the locomotive humming along
nicely.
Oil is big factor in mechanics,
and no matter how much informa-
ton comes out on the subject of
motor oiling many folks neglect
their automobiles in this one point.
1.-THE proper oiling is so import
ant in connection with driving
motor vehicle" said H. B. Daniels,
owner of the Daniels Filling station,
the other day, that only in the
larger cities as a rule has oiling been
developed to the utmost efficiency.
1t was because Of. the apparent
spreading of demand for high-class
oil service for automobiles that I
installed at Blackfoot one of the
most up-to-date and best equipped
stations in the Rocky mountain re-
gion. The full battery system of
oil tanks is the only means of CIV
ing to each customer exactly the
grade and weight of oil his engine
must have"
Mr.. Daniels has made his gas and
oil station at Broadway and Sexton
streets an attractive feature of low
er Broadway, with pretty little
lawn and flower bed, with a plat
form and colorado above the corner
wing of the building, and keeps up
his window displays. Besides his
battery of oil tanks, of which he
is justly proud, he has a pressure
oil gun which fills differential and
cases with just the
proper amount of heavy black lubri-
cant.

NORMAL SCHOOL HEAD
VISITS IN BLACKFOOT

Professor Frank E. Howard of the
Albion State Normal school has been
in Blackfoot for the past several
days interviewing prospective stu
dents for that institution. He states
that there is a very great demand
for normal trained teachers at q
good salary. The Albion school is
now prepared to offer the very best
normal training possible according to
Professor Howard. r. q
The interest in the institution is
increasing as is shown by the large
attendance at the last summer term
at which time there we're $40 en-
rolled.

These statistics are often quoted

it seems that when man lays down
the reins of active combat his judy

liable to trust the wrong "hunch."
AS old age comes on, too, there is
a mellowing of the man; he feels
more kindly and confident towards
others who are friendly to him and
towards persons he has himself given
aid to in his time. Sometimes it
seems, also, that the most ordinarily
cautious man will fall for the most
fragrant devices of the CRATER, fol-
lowing the human habit of going to
excess after long restraint. All his
life he has seen others reap profits
