HOW TO MAKE GOOD
Reach Out for
the Job Ahead
BY II. p. Dawson,
Henry Pomeroy Dawson advises:

Henry Pomeroy Dawson advises:
II have found 1t good system, not
only to reach out and learn the work Of
the man ahead of you, but also to teach
your job to the fellow below you"
Six months after starting as receiving
teller in the new Astor Place bank. Davi-
son was promoted to the position on
which he had first set his heart, that Of
paying teller.
Dame Fortune sometimes plays queer
pranks to accomplish her ends. Dawson
was "shot'into his next place. One day
a crank pointed a revolver at Teller Davi-
sons head, presented a check for $1,000
drawn to the order Of the Almighty and
demanded the money! Dawson coOlly &C
cepted the check, read 1t loud enough to
attract notice and began to count out
the money. Others grasped the situation,
and while the gun was still cooked at
Davison's head, the bank detective seized
the mailman
The newspaper made much of the dra
matte incident and of the teller's self
possession. The directors of the Liberty
National bank happened to have q meet
ing that day and the holdup was men
toned.
Il know that young fellow said Du-
mont Clarke, q director of the bank. He
would be a good man to have in the
bank"
Forthwith Dawson was installed as as
sistant cashier Of the Liberty Within
year he was made cashier, three years
later he was elected vice president, and
In another year president. His rise was
so rapid that it attracted general atten-
ton. New York financial annals had
contained few, II any, instances Of a man
of 80 being chosen as president of an
important national bank solely on merit
and without influence of any kind what
ever.

think it would be merciful to use chloro-

GREENWOOD DEFEATS
ABBEVILLE FRIDAY

Expecting easy pickings in Green
wood yesterday the local high school
foot ball squad were given the sur
Prise of their lives when Greenwood
made two touch downs before Able
vile scored. 1t was purely a matter
of luck that Abbeville ever did score.
With only 80 seconds to play in the
fourth quarter George Smith inter-
cepted a forward pass and ran as
yards for the only score made by Billy
Longs erstwhile invincibles. Gal
loway failed to kick goal, the final
score being Greenwood IA, Abbeville
6.
Greenwood deserved to win. They
played better football, did not move
as if breath had left their bodies and
were full of pep and ginger. Abbe-
ville's playing for the most part re-
minded one Of fellow being sent for
who couldn't come. On the whole it
was rotten. Billy Long and Harold
Tate were the orly two Abbeville
players who played hard enough to
get up appropriation.

TEXTILE OUTPUT
IS CUT IN HALF
Number of Operatives Involved Is
Three Hundred Thousand.-Cur-
tailment Runs 80 P. G. in
Some Instances

Boston, Nov. 18.-Curtailment of
production which began some months
ago in New England textile industries
employing 100000 operatives now has
reached point where the total out
put is less than one half that of one
year ago, according to estimates made
from canvass today of the great
mill centers. In some instances the
curtailment runs as high as 80 per
cent. A few mills have shut down
entirely. The majority have adopted
working schedule Of three or four
days a week. Mills that continue in
operation on full time with full
crews are exceptional.
: Thus far only isolated announce
ments of wage reductions have ap-
peared and these have been for the
most part in small mills where oper-
atives have been presented the choice
of a permanent wage cut or shut
down, the manufacturers contending
that they had found themselves un-
able to continue business under the
former wage expense.
In only one of the big textile mills
now operating, that of the Lawrence
Manufacturing Co. in Lowell is the
largest hosiery plant in the world,
has there been a wage cut. The mill
recently resumed production after
a shut down with a wage reduction of
from 20 to 33 per cent. Protests have
been voiced by a section of the en-
ployees and a union has been formed
there, but the mills operated on a
short time schedule has not been in
terrupted.

ADDRESS BY MCCONNELL
Education Commissioner Spoke
Teachers at TRAINING SchooI


J. M. Mcconnell, state commits
sioner of education, visited the Man
kato state normal school this morn
ing and addressed the six hundred
teachers assembled for the summer
session on the high calling of their
profession and the satisfaction to be
derived from a life of service and the
position in the community accorded
them therefor. His talk was very
optimistic as he touched on the in
creasing remuneration and the oppor-
tunities for influence. A point which
he made was that many professions
call for years of expensive training
while the state educates it's teachers
free of expense. Of late years. it
has become the custom of many BUSH
ness firms to educate their employ
ees; this counds attractive, but It is
just what the State has been doing
for many years, and the training is
given when it is convenient for the
student to take it, not a selection on
a competitive examination, as in
many countries, but open to all who
may make good use Of the valua Bile
opportunity offered.
