man should spend less than he earns,
there are others that he has follow
ed. One Of the most outstanding is
constancy. 1t is easy to see that he
doesn't believe in changing his job
often. He has had only two employ
ers during his BUSINESS career-the
Ballard corporation and the Louis
vile National Bank.
While he was working for the Bal
lards he received number of tempt
ing offers from other milling COM
panies. During his first year with
the bank he received three offers,
each carrying with it salary Of at
least $4,000 more than he was re-
ceiving. 1t was only last September
that the second largest bank in the
United States = it's deposits total
more than those Of all the banks in
Kentucky-asked him to accept one
of its vice presidencies-and Mr..
Bean is still in Louisville.
As result of Mr.. Beans influ-
ence, more than half the bank en-
ployes are now taking night school
courses. Some are studying ac-
countancy, some commercial law,
some credits and some ever are TAX
ing courses in grammar. They don't
say "He amt in" when one calls to
see Mr.. Bean at the bank and he is
out of his office. -
The fact is, they seldom have an
opportunity to say "Mr. Bean isn't
in now. Isn't there something 1 can
doq" Mr.. Bean is there nearly al
ways from 8 o'clock in the morning
until $50 at night. The "bankers'
hours" of tradition seem to mean
nothing to him. And he spends a
great many evenings reading the lit
crature of banking and economics.
Everyone connected with the bank
carries an account in the savings de-
partment. This resulted from group
meetings at the bank and dinner
meetings at which the employees dis
cussed proposed campaigns to in
crease the number Of savings ac-
counts. Every employe was demon
strating his faith in the good sense
of savings account by having one
himself, when the campaigns were
started.
Up to the time Of Mr.. Beans de-
cision to learn and build banking
business ut the same time obliged
the curtailment to some of his ac-
tivities as charitable and civic
worker, he was the guiding genius of
number Of such enterprises. When
the World War involved the United
States Mr.. Bean was made chair
man of the Council Of Defense for
Jefferson county. II was under the
Council of Defense that such war
activities as the Liberty bond sales
were conducted.
Mr. Bean threw himself into war
work with zeal that made his
friends fear for bis health. He had
completed preparations for enlist
ment as fighter when the armistice
was signed.
For many years he was director
Of the, Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation and chairman of its Educa-
tional Committee. He was in
charge Of the night schools. which
had enabled him to untangle the le-
gal question for the mill officials.
When he resigned as chairman Of
the Educational Committee the night
school enrolment was 1900 II had
been less than 100 when he was a
student.
Mr. Bean was born in Mt. Sterling,
KY, in 1879. With the exception OF
few years in Kansas in his early
boyhood, he has spent his life in
Kentucky. Perhaps that's one OF

MAxlMs FOR YOUNG MEN

Here are some of the things
. Richard Bean tells young men
when they seek his advice:
"Work twelve hours a day. A
man can't be successful or find
a fortune on eight hours work
a day.
'Live on less than you make.
"When you save money, in
vest it conservatively, striving
for safety rather than big divi-
dends.
'Don't be ashamed of small
investments. Why buy 10 shares
of stock when you really can
afford but five7 Start out by
buying one share, if that's all
you can afford.
at pays a young fellow to
stick to a job. Don't change
every time you get an offer of
more salary.
"Cultivate a spirit of help

to be helpful. You'll never have

ing problems with the boys at the
corner drug store >or to master the
intricacies Of Kelly pool in the bill
lizard emporiums of the day.
After three years Of night work
Richard Bean found his salary at
the mill increased so that he could
support himself comfortably and
meet all obligations without the aid
Of life insurance commissions. SO
he gave up the night work and night
classes to devote all his strength
and energy to the service Of his en-
ployers at the mill. But il was Just
before he gave up the night school
that he had an experience which the
afore mentioned Mr.. Alger could
have described with a master stroke.
Two of the mill foficials were dis
cussing legal question having to
do with sales contract. Richard
Bean was now clerk. He answered
the legal questions that puzzled the
mill officials. He could do so, how
ever, because he had taken CONNER
cial law at the night school. The
salary raise that resulted from his
answering the legal question was
much more than enough to pay for
the night school tuition.
The history Of his activities at
the mill reads like a complete course
in the milling business. Year by year
his duties were increased and during
the twenty years that he was with
the Ballard corporation he was con-
nected with practically every depart
ment of its business.
Mr.. Bean was secretary of the
Ballard & Ballard company when in
February, 1919, John II. Leathers.
president of the Louisville National
Banking Company lit is now the
Louisville National Bank = feeling
that the active duties should be
placed in charge Of a younger man,
conferred with the Board of Direc-
tors about offering the vice presi-
dercy to Mr.. Bean. They decided
to do il.
They offered just half the salary
that Mr.. Bean received with the Bal
lard corporation.
Mr.. Bean considered the matter
for thirty-six hours. He confessed
recently that he didn't sleep much
during those thirty six hours. But
he had the nerve to accept a place
in business with which he was not
very familiar and to accept So
per cent salary decrease at time
when nearly everyone else was ask
ing for raise.
In keeping with his maxim that
man should always spend less than
he earns, Mr.. Bean curtailed his ex-
penditures to be well within his
greatly reduced income.
The Louisville National Bank has
trebled its business and doubled its
capital since Mr.. Bean took charge.
An announcement mailed out last
week bears the news that Mr.. Bean
has been elected president. Mr..
Leathers now is chairman of the
Board If Directors.
A part of the announcement itself
is an illustration of Mr.. Beans way
of doing business. This part is the
banks statement. It is written so
that anybody can understand it. The

Robertson-Cole, producers Of "Kis-
met scored another artistic success
at the Ditmas Theatre last night
when whats a Wife WORTH" the
new super-special, written m d.
rected by William Christy Cabanne,
was presented. The picture takes up
a problem which we find in everyday
life and sounds a warning to those
who do not place marriage and
domestic felicity upon the highest
possible level.
The story of "What's a Wife
Worth?" begins with the marriage
of the son of a wealthy man and the
belle Of a small village. From the
outset the marriage is unhappy be-
cause of the interference of para
sites and social climbers. The minds
of the wealthy o and the village
girl are poisoned by idle gossip. A
divorce results and the girl finds
herself thrown on her W resources
and about to become a mother.
The son OF the wealthy man mar
ries again. This time his bride Is a
girl whose ambitious mother can see
only dollar signs on the horizon. AS
Is the usual case where affection Is a
minor consideration. the two agree
to disagree within a short time. A
child is born but dies. at birth. The
family physician substitutes another
child for the dead baby in the hope
that it will help the physical con-
dition Of the mother. The mother
but is more interested in
whist parties than in the baby. The
climax is reached when the husband
discovers that the baby substituted
is his W son by his first wife. A
reconciliation with the first wife
follows.

BIBLE LECTURE PROVES
INTERESTING TO MANY

Resurrection of the Dead" was
the tide of a free Bible lecture given
In Junior hall Sunday afternoon by
w, E. Van Amburgh OF Brooklyn.
The lecture which was held under
the auspices OF The International
Bible Students Association Of Brook
;yn waa fairly well attended. The
subject was presented from some
what an unusual standpoint. Mr..
Van Amburgh cited many Scriptures
and facts in support of the state
ments brought on: in his lecture.
AS the subject indicates. the lee
ture concerned death and the here
after. Mr.. Van Amburgh brought out
the fact that Heaven will be on this
earth, this he maintained in spite
of the teachings of a Heaven being
somewhere else, as we were taught
when we went to Sunday school. He
quoted from the Bible in proving
this fact. He told of the fall of
Adam in the garden of Eden and
how it affected our lives. He point
ed out that God gave Adam not the
slightest hint hat he had a soul or
spirit that would continue conscious
after the death of the body.
The speaker maintained that God
will raise the dead at his call and
that only the wilfully disobedient
will eventually be annihilated. He
said that within a few years we may
expect the faithful servants of old
to appear and be installed princes
In all the earth" Jerusalem will be
the capital of the world, all nations
receiving laws therefrom. All wars
cease and peace and plenty
will abound on every hand Shortly
all in the graves will come forth
friends and mine; cemeteries
md the sea will give up their dead,
and all shall learn to know God.
Then will the world know the love
and W and the part the resur-
had to play in His great
plan, "said the speaker.
