Why few earn

c. p. Hisham, member of the British Par
lament, declares that the secret of how to
obtain large income is to get others to work
out your ideas, to have the courage OF your
convictions, to be able to say yes" or no
on the instant and to stick to your decision
Men who can make up other peoples mind:
are 90 few that only these get fifty thousand
dollars year or more in business. Mr.. Hig-
ham further points out that the man who Is
content to do ~ little as possible for a min
imum wage Is permitting his native ability
to 90 to rust and will never earn five figure
yearly income. Large reward comes to only
those who 60 after it with an answering
purpose only those determined, through
THRIFT and application, to rise above the
ordinary. Fifty thousand year to most per-
sons seems impossible of attainment yet
between that figure and the minimum wage
there are incomes well within their range.
The secret of success does not lie in the
possession of genius or in blind luck, but
rather in painstahing preparation to seize
and hold opportunity when it presents itself.
Histories of embryonic leaders show over
and over again that before they were able to
utilize opportunity they had to prepare for
it by travelling the hard but sure road of
study. and THRIFT. They used THEIR
SAVINGS to grasp the opportunity and used
their brains to develop it. A man with no
ability soon loses his money; while a man
WITHOUT MONEY generally lacks oppor-
tunity to use his ability. So the two must 60
together-capacity and CASH. Don't handi-
cap your capacity to do big things by LACK
ING CASH when the big things come. Start
saving now. A regular amount put into this

lar bank depositor-one dollar will start

It was pointed out on the street that
Mr.. Mitten's plan was generally known
in banking circles over q year ago.
While the publication of the details
give considerable food for thought, and
undoubtedly indicated the drawing Of
the lines little tighter in regard to the
rentals, yet there was nothing particu-
larly new in the matter than already
known.
As in the preceding sessions, the
movement of the general list was mixed
which, however, still carried no signif-
