81 HAVE NOT GOT TIME" THE COMMON EXCUSE

When man is asked why he doesn't do certain things,
he knows he ought to do his most is that he
hasn't got. the time.
He knows he would be better business if he kept
up with his reading, looked the trade journals regularly
and bought business book and then study up
methods
But my goodness gracious he hasn't the time. The
young fellow who wants to have fine job day. he
hasn't the time study the older who feels himself
slipping in the daily struggle of business he, too, says he's
too busy to read the things which vtay affect his
success.
But isn't this rather lame excuse?
How are using your time? Are you certain that not
minute is wasted IN your daily program?
Make friends with your alarm clock Get up fifteen min
utes earlier each day and those fifteen minutes in study
Do ride to work the street car? Use those minutes
in reading.
Fifteen minutes day amounts than five thousand
minutes year91 hoursmore than eleven days of eight
hours EACH How much learn in eleven days of study?
your days activities for wasted minutes Are you doing
things which may be safely assigned subordnates? Do
you time in futile foong about and in making
essary steps?
Time is money--it is more is life. And you the
passing minutes will you rise fall in business Be
you not like the Chaucer described in Canterbury
Tales:
Nowhere 40 busy he there was
And yet he seemed buster than he was.'

There is a great d.

There is great deal of foolish hypocrisy the idea
of making money
Itseems fashionable to sur at the who is successful
in making money.
We prone to think of money as having a tant and

honor
OF course there is such thing the misuse of money
and the crude vulgar love of in itself may be. in
fact, the root of all evil.
But after all, money is pretty fair of ability.
To earn and to money requires sterling traits of
acter Money is the symbol Of work accompshment--wor
of the brain and work of the hand is the
ice to the community Money alone sets the world notion
Money makes possible nearly everything life one counts
desirable.
Most of the Of great wealth in America we're born
They acquired their wealth through serceby doing
something which the world wanted DONE
They had courage and wisdom and energy. And the
world is better place to live in because they lived and
thought and worked and dreamed.
Do not sneer at the honest millionaire There are many
honest mionaires And by all do not be hypoc-
ca asout money 1t easy money and to spend
heedessly but it requires ability and keep
and to keep it working. ~
Success is measured in money; failure is indicated by the
lack Of it. ~

DEMPSEY TO MEET

CHOICE LIES BETWEEN ATLANTIC

CITY; CENTER OF POPULATION
THE DECIDING FACTOR

New York, April 9.-With the long
awaited official announcement today
that the Dempsey Carpenter heavy
weight championship bout would be
fought in the state of New Jersey on
the afternoon of July ., interest among
local ring followers turned to the prob
able place Of the contest and the train
ing plans of the principals. Efforts to
obtain a definite statement from Tex
Rickari as TO the site of the contest
were without success.
He refused to commit himself as TO
Newark, Atlantic City or Jersey City.
Ile three sites meuttyRed IN his an
nouncemert.
He said he had received favorable Of
f,rs from all three cities and would per-
s0nally inspect the locations suggested
before he would be in a position 10 make
n final decision. II is expected he will
devote the coming week to an examina-
ton Of the plots offered ami announce
bis decision within the next ten days.
While there has been nothing official
upon which to base the report. it ap-
pears to be the general opinion among
those who have followed the match
negotiations. that Jersey City will be
the ultimate choice all conditions and
advantages being equal.
This is based upon Richards re-
pcated assertions that he desired to
stage the bout in or as near to New
York City as possible. owing 10 the
large population from which TO draw
his patronage.
Between Newark and Jersey City,
there Is little choice in either time or
! travel conditions, but the distance to
Atlantic City and the fact that accom-
mdlations may be hard TO get over the
Fourth of July holidays. may initiate
against the seashore resort
IL was this desire to locate the bout
close to large center of population
which caused the ultimate turning
down OF several excellent offers from
points In Canada, Maryland and West
ern states.

New Jersey. however. develops several

causing discussion among boxing au.
I lUOilNleS.
Under the New Jersey boxing laws
no decision can be given at the termina-
ton of the bout
Consequently the only way in which
Carpenter could win the worlds title
would be to knock out Dempsey inside
the stipulated l2 rounds permitted un-
der the state code, or for the champion
to lose his title by a foul. No matter
low much Carpenter might batter
/ Dempsey around during the entire H.
rounds. II the latter We're on his feet
at the close OF the 80 minutes Of actual
boxing, he woull still be champion from
