Something to
Think bOAf
JUNKING BATTLESHIPS
By r. II. WALKER

- VERY little while we read OF thu
Il junking Of obsolete battleships
When the old veterans. SCARED
and worn from strenuous service, are
thus brought to disgrace. there are
among the sailors who knew them
traces Of sorrow.
These sinewed boys in blue, loyal
TIL death. think back to days that are
gone and fancy the ships in the smoke
Of battle.
With what speed and might they
cleft the foaming sea!
The attachments that grew and en-
twined themselves In the sailors warm
hearts are very dear.
There Is a common note OF sadness
among them. especially among those
who stood by the guns in the heat OF
conflict. which. through bravery of men
and staunchness Of ship terminated In
triumph.
But now all this is changed. New
emotions crowd the mind.
The sailors realize that they. too. are
getting closer to the time when some
Of them may be "junked" to make
room for the stronger and more eff.
cient.
They wonder whether II was always
so: whether the weak gave way to the
strong. Upon reflection. they decide II
was.
II seems cold-blooded thing to do.
this "scrapping" OF the impotent. but
II is the human way Of doing things. Of
keeping up strength. productiveness
and ascendancy. SO essential to growth
and progress.
Unlike battleshIps, men can retain
their power and capacity. and become
more capable as the years advance. To
those who keep rubbing of the rust,
there need be no fear of the scrap
heap.
But to those who are Indolent, mali.
cious. inconsiderate of others, the
scrap heap is reaching out its scrawny
arms. certain Of final embrace.
DO you think OF these things, turn
sick at heart and hint that 1t does not
matterf
II Is good TO ponder. but please 90
not think that 'it does not matter"
For II does matter. So there ought q
be no compromise with laxity or In.
difference. Face about and see an.
other skyline and different stars over.
head Hold fast all the while to hope
Keep pressing with this boon com.
panion toward the hill-tops, keep in
tune with modern changes. keep young
In thought and In spirit. avoid vanities
on which life turns-and the scrap
heap will never get you.

keep AN ACCOUNT
Writer Points Out Value of "Put.
ting II Down."
Inevitably Leads to Efficiency and
System In the Manao -nent Of
Ones Personal Affairs.

Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the value OF keeping an ac-
curatc record OF all personal expen.
dltures. To the average busy person
Il may seem n needless waste of time
to keep an account OF every penny
spent. Yet some OF the most success
full men and women Of our day find il
worth while to keep record Of each
item OF personal expense.
Every business concern keeps IN ac-
counting Of all pennies received and
spent. To do otherwise would be to
invite failure, for II would mean the
introduction Of careless, slip-shod
methods.
IL such rigid care Is necessary TO the
success OF a business organization,
there Is even more need of efficiency
and system In the administration OF
ones personal affairs, for with the in
divldual thrift means not only the
saving Of money. but II means the ie-
velopment Of character, clean morals,
wholesome living, education, progress
and the fulfillment of human destiny.
The foundation Of thrift Is system.
Hence II should not be practiccd in
termittently.
If you are endeavoring to save
little money and you have not adopted
the rule OF keeping an accurate daily
record of your expenses, you will find
that by the adoption Of budget sys-
TEN your success will be made doUbiv
easy and you will be amazed at ,he
difference II will make in the amount
of money you can save. A few pen
nies or a few dollars wasted here and
there do not seem to amount TO much
at the time they are spent. But when
the record of these unwarranted ex.
travagances goes down In cold figures
so that you can thus look back over a
period of time and trace the black
trail of your thriftlessness, the matter
is presented In much more graphic
and impressive manner.
No man In the history OF our coun-
try has done more big things than
Benjamin Franklin. In the realms of
statemanship. finance. science and lit
erature, he has occupied a position OF
the most profound Importance. His
influence is felt by each of us In our
daily lives today. Yet Benjamin
Franklin. by his own testimony owed
much Of his success In life to the fact
that he worked Systematically and
kept AN accurate account Of all his
personal transactions, no matter how
.rivial.-By. w. s. Straus, President
American Society for Thrift.

II is oxide OF iron that gives to your
blood its brilliant red color. IL blood
contained no iron. all men and women
would look like walking corpses.
Nowhere In nature Is iron found in
native" or pure state. !; occurs
only In the form OF oxides-that is to
say. as iron rust. Mans greatest tri-
umph was achieved when he discov-
cred how to undo" iron rust and get
the iron out OF II. But for that. our
civilization today would be no fur
ther advanced than that OF ancient
Egypt or Assyria.
Edwin L. Slosson. In his remarkable
new book, Creative Chemistry says
that every year the blast furnaces OF
the world release 72,o00Oo0 tons OF
iron from Its oxides: and every year
one-fourth of that quantity reverts TO
rust Should man cease his efforts in
this direction for generation. there
would he little left 10 show that he
had ever learned to extract iron from
its ores.

WOMEN IN COMMERCE..

VTOsfEN are an important factor
w in commerce in America. There
are many cities where women
are members with men on the boards
Of the local chambers of commerce.
Then there Is the Woman's Chamber
ot Commerce at New York, and the
Noman's Association OF Commerce at
Chicago. both national organizations.
AT the International Trade Confer
ence women were represented. Each
OF the national women's organizations
sent delegates and urged that foreign
r1en delegates should affiliate women
with their trade organizations. Many
wcmen are In trade both here and In
Europe.
In England the University Of Lon-
con has just inaugurated a course In
commerce, TO which women will be ad-
mitted under the same conditions as
men. They viii specialize on such
subjects as banking. foreign trade, fac
tory management. shipping and trans
port. etc. England believes that her
women are perfe>tly able TO enter the
higher branches OF trade, and she
meaSs to give them full opportunity.
In America women are in practically
every hrai.ch Of trade. and they have
the full sympathy and assistance Of
their men In this work. They have
learned in the school OF experience.
But there Is room for such a course
as the University OF London has In
sugurated- Many young woman
whose father Is the head Of an impor-
tsnt business might gladly take such
q course and be prepared to continue
her fathers business. The day OF
idleness for women has gone forever.
Commerce Is one Of the most enthrall-
Inc games man may play-or woman.

State Crop Letter

Showers in the southern part Of the
State during the past week were very
beneficial to late planted crops. Tenn
peratures were close to normal.
The condition of corn in all parts Of
the State is very good and weather con-
ditions are favorable.
Wheat cutting has commenced in the
southern counties and will be general
over the southern half of the State next
week. The condition Is variable. Red
rust and Hessian fly are the principal
deteriorating agencies.
The spring wheat condition generally
Is satisfactory.
Weather conditions have been more
favorable for oats, but the stand Is very
uneven and thin in many fields
Barley Is in about the same condition
as oats.
southern counties and will be general
over the southern part of the State next
week. Conditions now indicate larger
yield than usual
Early potatoes are being harvested in
the southern counties, with fair to good
yields. Planting of late potatoes is about
completed. Recent rains were very bene-
fetal to sweet potatoes in the CONNER
cial district.
Glover cutting has begun, but is not
making the yields indicated earlier in
the season. Timothy is fair to good and
the second growth Of alfalfa is only fair.
Transplanting of tobacco has been
completed under favorable conditions and
the crop Is starting well.
Strawberries are about gone. Rasp-
berries and blackberries look like a good
crop at this time. Other small fruits are
in good condition.
All classes of live stock are in good
condition. Pastures are furnishing
plenty of feed q this time.
The labor supply is more than equal
to the demand.
