The Prophets Agree on Mild
M Winter.

With the official weather forecaster
threatening a cold wave, with the
family coal bunkers low and the cell
lar supply of spirituous heat grad
ually decreasing it is cheering to
know that the unofficial prophets very
generally forecast mild winter.
The Indians of the Dakotas and
the Lake regions OF northern Mime
sofa, experienced and keen weather
observers, consoled hunters over the
failure of the season by saying that
waterfowls found conditions so mild
and agreeable in their breeding
haunts in northern Canada that they
nad not ventured south. This, to-
gether with the discovery that musk
rats were not going down deep to
build their houses and the bark on
frees was unusually thin, convinced
he Indians that it was useless to
chop up a heavy stock Of firewood.
The Ontario Indians agree with our
Northwestern red men but base their
belief upon the fact that the beaver,
NOTED for his industry, has not yet
legun preparing his winter quarters"
irrappers of the same region try to
,.iscredit this prophecy by saying that
.there are more hornet nests than
usual, which is an unfailing sign of a
cold winter and heavy snowfalls." A
fruit grower, who pins his faith on
ihe Indians, brought into Ottawa a
sew days ago a large spray Of ripe
wild raspberries. There's no doubt
cf It," he says, "the prevalence Of
ripe raspberries in the fall means a
very mild and open winter"
We have too the statement Of a
wisconsin hunter who killed n big
black bear near Ladysmlth: cold
Bruins fur was short and thin, and /
amt botherlng about piling cord wood
round my cabin yet" A bee keeper
Of Winchester, Virginia, says that the
honeycombs are just heavy enough to
hold the contents and adds, "If the
honeycombs are thin severe weather
conditions will not prevail, but IL they
nre thick look out for heavy SHOWS
and billiards."
A resident Of Holland Hook, Staten
Island, says that the bullfrogs in the
pond near his home are making the

Behold! we are the Legionaries
Who stood behind the flag
And nailed 1t to the pinnacle
OF Freedoms mountain crag.
We stand behind its glory yet,
And count our crimson scars
AS others do their medals rare,
Their crosses and their stars.
We are the Lesionaries and guard
The soil we proudly tread,
And some of us are living men
And some of us are dead.
Not one Is missing from our ranks;
Full ecmpanied we drill
The souls of those who died in France
Are marching with US still.

COAL
PROFITS HIGH
Exclusive Of All Taxes,
$75,OOO,O00 Reaped in
One Year.

New York. Jan. 11.-Qn the heels
of William c.. McAdoo's revelations
concerning American coal profits
come figures giving the enormous
profits of the British coal industry.
For the year 1s17-1s the aggre-
gate profit in the British coal in
dustry. prior to the deduction of
royalties and taxes. was approx
mateIy s150.oOO. 900. counting ex-
change at the normal rate.
The total net profit of the $50
corporations, for which figures are
given in the report made by Nc
Adoo to the Senate. for the year
1917. was s44.2os,os4. prior to the
deduction of income taxes.
The British figures do not show the
percentage of profit to invested
capital. but they reveal other things
just as interesting.
In the year l917-1S about $4,000
900 went for royalties. This amount
is deducted from the net profit.
other deductions from the profit
figure are made for excess profits
duty. coal mine excess payments and
income tax.
However, after all deductions of
this kind. there remained a final
profit of almost $4,000. 900.
For the four war years-l914 to
l9l7-1S, the aggregate net profit of
British coal mines. minus all de-
auctions for royalties and taxes.
was something over 1866, 900 900.
The year 1914-15 was the poore st
year and 1861 the best: the profit
in that year climbing to about
$135, zoo, 900.

Rockefeller Links Credit
With Character as Basis of
Enduring Success in Life

Fifty years lie behind the Stand

Use. That this motto was blazoned
upon his own mind is proved by his
business history. And 1t was the
complete confidence OF others" that
enabled the youthful Rockefeller to
commence refining operations in
1870 amid a host of other struggling
refiners and to evolve the greatest
corporation in the world" less than
four decades later.
Last Saturday 135 officers Of the
standard Oil Corporation of several
States gathered to celebrate the
golden anniversary of that wedding
Of genius and opportunity which
gave birth to the great industry.
Rockefeller wrote them a letter
from Ormond, Fla. in which he
sketched the history of the organ
ization. 1t was a most modest mar
rative, in that The Standard Oil
Company is pictured more as a Gu
mulative success which throve of
itself rather than as development
of Rockefeller's own keen thought
and enterprise.

In his autobiography he has told
of his own early struggles and his
labors as head of Standard Oil. He

Berlin, Jan. 11.-when German SOL
diers and sailors turned on their Off
GERS in the revolution and destroyed
some whom they hated most, there
began a new era in the German army.
The German soldier no longer Is the
plaything of the officers. He doesn't
have to serve il he doesn't want to
and the spirit which he showed in rev.
dictionary times has instilled a respect
amCng the officer clan which they will
never forget.
The German officer no longer swag-
gers down the streets of Berlin. He
doesn't push peaceful citizens, women
and children off the sidewalk. He
doesn't order his men to fire on citi-
zens who voice their rights.
Immediately after the revolt, pri-
Yates refused to salute their officers.
They nodded and that was about all.
But gradually the salute came back
and it is given without hesitation,
both by officers and men.
Germany is still a military nation.
There is a heavy sprinkling of uni
formed men on the streets of Berlin,
more so than in nearly any other city.
Men are not discharged from the
army unless they have obtained en-
ployment or the government can give
them job.
Germans reply to charges. made by
the allies. that too large a military
establishment is being kept up. that
this is done to prevent disturbances

tered partnership with young
Englishman, borrowing $1,l00 at 10
per cent interest from his father in
order that he might put $1,000 into

Fifteen years later. the firm of
Clark & Rockefeller was doing a
business of $500, 900 a year. 1t was
in that year, 1870, that Rockefeller,
then 81. started out to capture the
oil business. 1t was a strenuous
warfare. but, as all the world knows
he achieved his object. In a few
years the Standard Oil Company had
developed markets in both hemi-
spheres. Gifted pens have traced its
ascent to the position of superlatiye

luton order which broke up the
Standard into the many State cor

ten that his liberality has always
rivaled his Industrial genius. 1t was
never by a pinch-penny policy that
he attained success. His recent
gifts of $1O0.00O,000 to various foun-
dations and universities are simply
the latter-day measure of the same
free spirit possessed by him as a
youth.
To revert to his advice to
young men on How to Make
Good"
The hardest problem all through
my business career" he said re-
Gently; was to obtain enough cap
ital to do all the business l wanted
to do. given the necessary amount
of money. You must establish a
credit (character) before you can
hope to have people lend you
money.
THE first large bank loan l re-
ceived-it was $4,000. a big sum in
those days-was granted me only
because the head of the bank made
himself familiar with my mode of
life, my habits. my industry, and
learned from my former employers
that was a young man who
could be trusted.
Contrasts Strike Him.
Nowadays young men-and 9TH
ers-want to have too much done
for them. They want to be pre-
scented with bonuses and to re-
ceive all sorts of concessions.
They must be self-reliant. They
must not expect to have things
handed them for nothing. They
must make themselves strong by
becoming able. brainy workers, by
establishing a credit and by &C
cumulating every dollar they can
save after doing their full duty
to society.
AS for opportunities, there are
ten today for every one there was
sixty years ago. There were very
few opportunities and very scanty
means of taking advantage of them.
Now. large opportunities spring
up everywhere and we have a
wonderful currency and credit sys-
tenn for enabling people to take
hold of them"
