Answer-we should most certainly

There il every reasonable proba'

improved earnings, that 1t will sell

George Briggs Buchanan and z. T.

on their views of the common stock.
Buchanan has been a bull, while Bed

Something to
Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF. "A. Walker
ByF. A. Walker


II VERY man and woman should
II have a budget. Their should be
a businesslike apportionment, of what
you earn, to your needs and your
tastes.
You will have to assign so much to
rent. 1t used to be % per cent in
the ordinary income. Now it averages
more.
There will have to be an allowance
for food and clothing, for the doctor
and the dentist, for amusement and
pleasure, for necessary travel and for
unnecessary extravagances, for we all
have our extravagances.
All these things will be promptly
listed and thoroughly looked after.
We shall probably be particularly lib
.'eral with those items which mean the
least in the sum total of human hap
piness.
The last thing that will be thought
about, and the most scanty allowance
will be made for it, will be the devel-
opment and betterment of our minds.
How much money did you spend last
year on worthwhile books-books you
are keeping to read a second time
books that added to your wisdom or
gave you something valuable to think
about?
How much time did you spend in
filing your mental storehouse with
facts useful in daily life and valuable
in your daily work?
Did you spend as much for informa
tion as you did for gasoline?
If you were to add together all the
time you spent gaining knowledge,
would it be half the time that you
spent dancing?
Do you consider that MONEY is the
only thing you spend?
TIME is your much greater asset.
You can earn more money.
You cannot, with all the wealth of
all the universe in all the ages, buy
one minute of time nor bring back for
another and a better use a wasted
hour
Lord Brougham, man who spent
his time wisely and proftably, wrote
down this short sentence filed with
good advice: "Read something of
everything and everything of some
thing"
There is no excuse for any man,
woman or child past twelve years
spending less than half an hour a day
with a good book.
Reading carefully and THOUGHT.
FULLY you will cover not less than $50
words a minute. That is 4,500 words
a day. ONE MILLION SIX HUN
DRED AND FORTY-TWO THOU
SAND WORDS A YEAR. How much
wiser do you think you would be if
you did that for only. one year?
knowledge is the freest, the most in
expensive thing in the world, and we
think less of it than of anything else.
Stop making pet of your stomach.
Stop worrying about your clothes.
Give up some of the useless things
upon Wnlcn you Spenu ana waste your
time and your money.
Make up a budget of your earnings
and your hours that shall have in it
a liberal allowance for your mind, for
your intelligence, for your thinking
powers.
What you have inside your head
no robber can get, no Ponzi can trans
fer to his pockets. Not even old age
can destroy it, and perhaps not even
death cam take it away from you.
Be generous with your mind. Feed
it. Nourish it. Care for y. 1t IS
the one part of you that really mat
tiers, the one thing upon which you
should spend lavishly and continu-
ously.
