THIRTEEN
SUCCESS IN BUSINESS

From the Thrift Magazine.
 The young man who is ambitious for success in business should understand first of all the value of thrift It is not through the flash of genius or the magic of good luck that permanent and substantial sue cess Is brought adout. But rather there Is combination of clements of which thrift is the fundamental and most important. Delve as deeply as we may into the annals Of any notable and permpanent busi- ness success and we shall find that thrift is the framework of the structure writes S. W. Straus, president of the American Society for Thrift
 This is a lesson that every young man in America today who is striv- ing to get ahead in a business way should learn. He must have cour- age, initiative and restless aggres- siveness. He must have good judg ment. equilibrium and patience. He must have the quality of hard work and the fortitude to stand knocks and blows. And at the very heart and core of all his activities, there must be thrift.

RUSH NOW ON FOR
 HE NEW OIL FIELDS
First to Make Round Trip Are Back to Record Their
 Locations on Lands
By Assoeiated Press


 Jpneau, Alaska, August 2,-First of the fortune seekers to make the roundtrip this year to new oil fields at Fort Norman in the Mackenzie valley of northern Canada, nine men passed through Juneau recently en route to Edmonton, Alberta, where they will record their loca- tions on oil lands.
 q believe the district will be a world beaten" John McDonell. one of the 'sourdough leaders of the party, said. One gusher at Norman produced l,500 barrels day, ac- cording to reports which, I believe. are below the correct figures.
 Every member of the party said the oil was of high grade and asserted it was used in the Fort Norman country for lighting and heating and even was used, without being changed from it's crude state, in gas engines.
 The nine men "mushed" into the oil fields over 750-mile trail par of which was snow covered, across the continental divide from White Horse, Yukon territory. They made the trip to Norman in 2i days which is considered very fast time. and used S5 dogs to pull their sleds.
 Originally most of the men came from Vancouver, B. C.. which they left on March of this year. coming north to Skagwsy, Alaska. and cross 1. ing the White Pass trail to White Horse by railroad. Leaving White Horse March 13, they took the trail to Carmacks, on the Yukon river. and then struck out across the noun tains for the bsy Cana Han basin. At Fort Norman they found themselves among tn first stampeders of the year to get inside"
 Hundreds of men from Canada and the United States are planning to go to the new fields this year over the Canadian route. through Edmonton. Fort McMurray and Peace river. Most Of this route is by steamboat down the Peace md eMaclGenzie rivers. AL though fast time can be made in sum ? inner over this interior route, the men who passed through here de- clared the trai. from White Horse was the best winter way to Norman. There is plenty of game along the route for food and the going is easy, they said

fiXer is not guilty of violating the law, but the result is the same as if he were.
 An erroneous impression has got ten out that the solicitor and myself conceded that fair trial could not be obtained in Marion county. Moth ing is further from the truth. When the application for continuance was made by the defense, we asked that the jurors be excluded from the courtroom, so they would rot be prej- udiced by what transpired This re- quest was not granted, We then asked to be permitted to prove the truth of the statements that appeared in the Marion county paper. The de- fense objected, and the court denied us the right to show the truth Of the publication or explain it's publication. There is an old maxim of the law that No man can profit by his own wrong" and we held to the theory that. if our charges were true they were justified no matter who they injured, if they injured anyene. If q man chooses 10 prejudice his own case by resorting to improper meth ods. he is responsible and should not complain of the results. 1 called names on the floor of the court and offered to show improper methods being used in specific cases. None of this was published in tue paper. When we were cut off from showing the truth of the charges, and the eXpla- nation for their publication. we told the court that we would not resist 8 continuance.
 An Irishman in jail was assured by his lawyer that he would get justice, and replied: "Begorra, that's what ] don't want" There are many more like him in this world. Just as soon as l am sufficiently recovered to stand the strain of a trial, ] am will ing to give these soldiers trial at any time they or the court indicate willingness to proceed. l am will ing to try them in any county in the state if the state Is given fair, i'm partial, untampered with, unap- proachable jury. If I should be re- quired 10 take more time for the re- covery of my health than Is now ex- pected, the cases can go on without me, or the defendants can be given bond and the cases allowed to await my recovery. l can see no necessity for such action now, as 1 am sure I will be in splendid shape in the next week or two.
 I shall return to Mentone today

KIND OF HISTORY WE NEED

h. U. wells, In the Yale Review.
 There has been need of some sucli general account of mans story in the universe bfor many years. Such an account is surely a necessary part of any properly conceived education One might almost say 1t was the most necessary part For why do we teach history to our children? To take them out of themselves Q place them in conscious relation ship to the whole community in which they live, to make them real ize themselves as actors and authors in a great drama which began long before they were born and which opens out to issues far transcending any personal ends in their interest and importance. And it Is com- monplace fo say that in the last cen tury or so the sphere of human in- terest has widened out with marvel ous rapidity until it comprehends the. whole world Economically, inteliec- tually. and In many other ways, the world becomes one community. But while there has been this enormous enlargement of human interests, there has been, if anything. a narrowing down of the scope of historical teach ing. If the reader will look into the sort of history that is taught in tl.r' schools today and compare 1t with the yellow ~old books of our great grandfathers he will find rather d shrinkage towards the intensive study of particular periods and phases of history than an extension to meet the more extensive needs of a new age

wHAT IS A COLLEGE

Irving T. Bush, i'm Forbes Magazine.
 Business men are by no means agreed about the/ college man. Ono class of employers do not want col lege men; another class will give them precisely the opportunities other men are given; and there is a third class that very decidedly pre- fer college men.

 The men who have worked thelr way through college, like the men who have enjoyed such co-ordination of business and college training US I have referred to, do not expect something for nothing.
