PICK EMPLOYEES WITH CARE
Modern Business Men No Longer Rely
on the "Hit-or- Miss" Method OF
Selection.

There was a time when picking en-
ployees was hit-and-miss job. trial.
and-error matter which few employers
believed could be corrected. This is
the day of doing things right and the
modern employer is now selecting his
associates, from the Office boy to. the
man highest up, with as much care as
he would launch on an entirely new
business venture. William Marvin
Jackson. director of the Personnel De-
veIopment service, writes:
"If employees are carefully selected,
with an eye to their real adaptabiiity
and fitness for the work to be done, 1t
goes without question that they are
much more likely to take an interest
I'm their work, and hence, the business
itself. If they are interested, they VIII
get along we'll with their fellows ana
co-operate with their superiors. All or
which means that they will grow. and
there is no satisfaction for the en-
plovee greater than that which accom-
panies the knowledge that he is get
ting somewhere. Patting him on the
back may make him feel good, and
having him a good salary may make
him work harder. But giving him
new Job and bigger Job will alone
make him supremely happy, will alone
make him work with complete aban-
don. with thorough-going enthusiasm"

Australian Rabbits Selling Fast.

Rabbits have been doing great dam
age in the grazing districts of
Australia, and strenuous efforts to
eradicate them has resulted in the kill
ing of a vast number of these ami
mails. Some 100000 bodies are now
in cold storage awaiting shipment to
England The embargo on the export
of rabbit skins was removed in De-
cember last, and the boom in rabbit
skin prices has produced remarkable
competition in slaughtering the pest.
The ruling average price paid to trap
pers for skins is now $1.S2 per pound.
and the demand for skins by the
United States and European markets
Is so great that it cannot be satisfied,
and it Is thought that prices will go
still higher. Experienced trappers are
making up to $97 per week for the
skins alone.

WARNING ON SEED CORN.
Seed for Next Year Should Be Selected
Before October.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 30
Stating that should early autumn frosts
follow the past cold winter and late
spring, many local farmers will not be
able to mature corn for next years seed,
County Agent J. c. Grant has seconded
a suggestion from the Massachusetts Ag-
rleultural college that farmers select seed
for next year before Oct. /, adding the
advice that if they have mature seed
trom which to select this year they
should take the precaution of laying up
two years supply. In this way, he said,
they will guard against the possibility of
having to buy seed corn for the 1922
sowing, should the coming growing season
prove even shorter than this one.
For region this far north there is no
certainty that tho corn crop will ma
ture. early enough every year to provide
seed for the next season, said the county
farm advisor, and farmers who are able
to practice seed selection during the next
five weeks would do well to insure
against the future by collecting and stor-
ing a surplus.

PLAYED FEW SAFETY sHoTs'
Men Who Have Won Success In LIES
Game Satisfied With Moth
ing but Victory.

Walter Hagen, the golfer, says:
"Never play for a safety, but always
try for the cup"
Kings in other trades as well as in
golf have found that it pays to "try
for the cup" remarks "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Press.
Safety shots are often careless shots
in business as in play.
Rockefeller played six hole out in
the oil world and he made a par and
then some.
Morgan hammered the ball straight
for the flag and it flew above every
bunker and sand pit in the financial
world
Col. "Tom' Scott had no safety
shots in his bag when dreaming out
the Pennsylvania road system, nor did
Franklin B. Gowen when he made his
master stroke in buying the Readings
coal lands.
Theodore n. Vail, the telephone
giant, never minced his game nor re-
sorted to a half shot to save his face.
He went out with the long stroke and
came home to the final shot with a
record card to his credit
The big-league teams play to win
the game, not to win compromise or
tie the other team.
The great merchant nails his flag to
the mast, says "damn the torpedoes,"
and shoots straight at his target.
So in business as on the links the
adage should be: Hold your head
still and play for the cup"
