NOT A GOOD BUSINESS MAN
Young Corn Husk Evidently Was
Never Intended for High Place
in Modern Life.

J. d. Rockefeller. Jr.. said in Y.
N. O. A address:
THE successful business man today
Ii one who knows how to choose his
managers. A successful modern bust.
ness Is too vast for any one man to
handle. So managers are essential
and II these managers are badly
chosen, failure follows.
The unsuccessful business man is
apt to depute authority to such crea-
lures as young Corn Husk.
Young Corn Husk's dady sent him
to the mill one day to try to sell the
seasons wheat crop.
Corn got hold Of a miller and sub
mitted a handful Of wheat to him.
The miller examined the wheat care
fully. Then he said:
allow much more has your father
got like thisT
"'He ain't got no more like It,
young Corn answered. Tt took him

that golf playing had put into the dis

caught "red-handed" blowing their
fields. In January, the Alberta yeo-
man got out his tractor and in his
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February. In Saskatchewan. one
farmer narrowed fifty acres and
planted the seed. "Why, yes, of
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer, who had just heard from his
son, who was looking after the Vest
ern Canadian farm. my boy writes
me they had some snow, and few
cold dips. but what did that matterf
The cattle and the horses came
through the winter In better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the prai-
ries, the stubble was rich and valu-
able as food, and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter
Spring is now fully upon the West

all In shape for springs work, and
he is looking forward to an excellent

splendid lot of moisture that perme-

There is a great deal that can be
said In favor of the climate of West

that those who live there, and have

Easier Credit
Conditions Reflected.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-(A. P)-
Comprehensive and substantial ad-
vances of stock prices yesterday were
influence solely by the lower redis-
counts announced by nine of the 12
federal banks and cOncurred in by the
Bank Of England.
Financial interests generally regard
ed this as evidence that deflation had
made further marked progress and
that easier credit conditions soon
would prevail in the worlds leading
markets.
The local money market reflected
these phases for time, the 8 per cent
opening for call loans soon being cut
to 1-2 per cent. Later, however, on
demand for funds the rate rose to 5
1-2 per cent, that figure holding at tho
close.
Bonds made a better showing rela-
lively than stocks, most of the several
liberty series recording highest prices
of the year with Victory 3-4s. which

Wheat Gets Down
To 1915 Standards.

CHICAGO. Nov. IA. P)-For
the first time since 1915, wheat yester-
day dropped to belowt$l bushel. All
grain, with the exception of May corn,
declined to the lowest level this season
| following wheat, for which there ap-
peared to be no adequate support.
! Wheat closed heavy, 2 ga to 3 IA
cents lower, with December at 80 to
SO i-2 cents and May 1O4 l-S. Corn
lost / al Is cents to IS cents, and
oats 1-2M5-S cent to 3-S cent. Pro-
visions varied from l-2 cents down
to like advance.
Word that much wheat was practi-
cally unstable at Galveston and at
other ports as well took the edge off
the demand here and accentuated gem
eral belief that the foreign demand
for United States wheat had halt
ed. The fact that prices could break
SO far and so rapidly as they have done
of late without encOuntering any ex-
port buying of consequence put bulls
at disadvantage. The only strength
the market showed was at the open
ing, and was ascribsd to reports of
minished unemployment in the United
States and to reduction of federal re-
discount rates. The days trading,
considered as whole, was not large,
but selling by houses with eastern af-
filiations and by the northwest was
persistent. Final dealings were at the
bottom level of the session.
Announcement that the war finance
corporation has worked out plan to
warehouse the surplus of corn failed
to check weakness of corn and oats.
December corn was particularly heavy
selling pressure. Smallness of stocks
helped to steady provisions.

Federal Reserve Shows
Reduction of Paper.


PORTLAND. Nov. IA. PO-
The federal reserve system is max
ing a very strong showing. as is eN-
emplified by the reduction Wednesday
of one-half Of per cent in the re-
discount rate of eight of the II fed
eral reserve banks. The Pacific coast
district was included in the reduction,
the rediscount rate now being in
stead of 5 1-2 per cent.
The reserve note circulation of last
Thursday of all the system was $42,-
4OS,S00, 900, a decline for the week OF
s22,1OO,O0O. The note circulation the
week before, $2,44O. 100000, was the
lowest reported since October 4, 1918.
Also there was an increase for the
week of s15.4O0,OO0 in cash reserves
largely gold. Deposit liabilities of the
consolidated reserve banks show an
increase of $2l 100000 for the same
period. The ratio rose from 7l.S 10
70.S per cent.
Paper is Reduced.
A very favorable sign has been the
large reduction of paper held under
ediscount-inter-re bank loans
which declined 70 $42,700.V00 on

MEN SET IN "HIGH PLACES"
Those Only Admirable Who Remain
Affable and Generous to Those
of Lower Levels.

Speaking of the Mount Everest ex-
petition, Sir Francis Younghusband
says: AT great heights men get very
nervous and irritable. At 10000 feet
they begin to lose patience with one
another, and the higher they climb the
deeper they hate"
There is q moral in that for men
seeking high attitudes in our common
human life.
May it never be said of them with
truth: "The higher they climb tile
deeper they hate"
1t Is a fine thing to find man VINO
goes upward to great heights without
losing his head, his nervous equipoise,
his self-control. 1t Is an inspiration
to US who -plod and drudge along at
the lower levels to find him generous,
amiable, affable, ready to meet. all
Corners and faithful TO his friends.
On the other hand it is deplorable
to come upon man who wins his way
to eminence of any sort, and in that
lofty station, instead of looking TO
the sky and superior Power, looks
down upon "the common herd and
thinks-and tells-how great he is In
comparison with them.-Philadelphia

Dinner For Notable
English Visitors

Rear-Admiral and Mrs Willard II.
Brownson entertained party of 20 at
dinner Tuesday evening in Washing
ton in compliment TO Earl and Coun-
tess Sandwich.
This item is of particular local in
terest, not so much because Admiral
Brownson was formerly Superintend-
ent of the Naval Academy and he and
his family have many friends here,
but because his distinguished guests
possess a name which is better known
and more illustrious than any other in
the poerage OF the world. Though the
Earls OF Sandwich were eminent in
Oliver Cromwell's time, it was the
fourth OF the line who brought indy
ing fame to his family by causing a
piece of beef TO be placed between two
slices OF buttered bread. an invention
that has since practically revolution
lied the meals OF part of the world.
One can not but wonder whether the
Brownsons paid their guests the eom-
pliment of serving sandwiches for one
of the courses at their dinner
