A big business man, who started out
in life as a poor country boy and is
now worth millions, was talking the
other day about people who arrive,
and those who never get anywhere.
THE secret of success" he said, is
enthusiasm. You have TO put your
heart as well as your back into your
work to make go" of it. You have
TO love your job in order to turn out "A
good job. You have to be interested
in what you are doing before you lie
awake nights thinking Of better ways
to do it. In all of my long experience
i have never seen single individual
make a success of anything in which
he or she was not vitality interested.
You can give a boy and girl all the
technical training that is possible 70
fit them for certain career. They
may have a natural bent for the line
you have put them in. They may
start out under the most favorable
auspices, and yet they will fail if they
are not interested in their job, and do
not put punch and pep into it.
And you can't do that If what you
are doing bores you TO extinction. No
body can win out who is saddled down
with the dead weight of boredom.
That is a fatal handicap that makes
you give up before you even start 10
run the race.
You have got to believe with all
the faith that is in you that the work
to which you have set your hand is
worth doing. and you have got to have
a joy in doing il before you can turn
out the work that is valuable TO the
world, and for which the world is
willing TO pay.
Therefore, when ! find one of my
employees taking a real interest in his
work, instead of doing it like a hated
and loathed task, / Immediately begin
to take an interest in him or her, be-
cause 1 know that he or she viii be
pretty certain to make good. And |
stimulate this interest by adding few
thrills in the shape of an advance in
position and salary.
But / never bother with those who
do their work perfunctorily, no matter
if they are efficient. They viii never
go any farther. They are just cogs
in a machine. They will never be a
dynamo that drives the business on.
There's nothing in the world as
contagious as enthusiasm--unIess ii
is boredom. We catch the moods Of
those with whom we come in con-
tact and react TO them. When / go
into a store TO buy something and the
clerk looks as If he was about to weep
because | had disturbed his day dream,
and he shows that he doesn't care
whether / buy or not, nine times out

Surely no woman could desire a high
err or nobler career than developing
the minds and souls Of her children.
Yet women complain of the dulIness
Of domestic life. It's because they
have not learned to interest themselves
in their work.
They have got TO learn that we
must put the best of ourselves into
our jobs to get the best results

POLITICAL

The rumor going the rounds that
Harry L. knight, of Medford, Burling-
ton County, will succeed Samuel Ire
dell as Internal Revenue Collector for
the First District, has been pretty well
exploded. Mr.. Knight already holds
down a nice fat job in the Public Util-
ity Department which does not expire
until 1925. 1t is o than likely that
Senator W. Russell Sturgess, of Glou-
cester County, will receive the appoint
ment as Collector in due time. 1t IS
also understood that he has the ap-
proval of L. S. Senator Edge.
Mr.. Knight has been deriving sus-
tenance from the public teat for a long
time and naturally is looking ahead.
It's a great life if you don't weaken.
Senator Sturgess is in the first year
of his second term in the Senate
served with Edge as Governor and has
been allied with him even since.
His home is in Glassboro, where
he has been in the insurance business
for a number of years. He was
strongly backed by the Gloucester
County Republican organization head
ed by William H. Albright, Secretary
of the State Senate and Secretary OF
the State Committee.

CYCLONE HOWARD HERE
Great Reforms Accomplished the
Past Seven Years. More To
Be Accomplished

Hon. Clinton y. Howard, Of Roches-
ter, cyclone speaker Tor moral and
political reform, spoke N 81. PauIs
church Thursday evening before a
large audience. His topic was, a
New Day and q Better tomorrow.
Mr. Howard is as great a wonder as
the monograph, full Of words Of Wit
and wisdom with a clear vision Of the
moral and political reforms made in
the past which have brought a new
DAY within the past eve years. His
plea is TO be Wlde-aWake, up and do
ing now TO bring about moral and
political reforms which Will bring "A
Better Tomorrow He speaks under
the auspices of the National Reform
Association, which has headquarters
at Pittsburg, Pa, whose influence Will
soon pervade all Of the United States.
He took for his text St. John 5
vision Of the New Jerusalem, as in
Revelations 21:5, Behold l will make
all things new"
He said in part that man had made
few new things. He only discovered
what God had made, and when he at
tempted to improve on them, he had
been a failure. Satan had beguiled
man TO his W destruction.
Sunshine and clear crystal water
had never been improved upon,
yet men had endeavored to find some
thing better to drink. 1t had proved
a failure and Gods spirit had impeILed
man to bring about prohibition.
More political and moral progress
had been made in the past seven years
than in the past sever hundred. The
greatest is the League of Nations.
others are arbitration, equal rights
Tor women by suffrage and prohibit
ton. He could start a riot in his au-
dience by raising religious differences,
yet Woodrow Wilson had gotten all
religious and political creeds from all
parts of the earth together for dis
cussion and arbitration. His canonl-
Zation will come later after the people
get a clear vision.
The greatest problem now IS to hin
der the notification of prohibit. the
overthrow of polygamy in Mormonism
and the hindrance of the political
power of Roman Catholicism. We do
not question nor challenge the prlnci-
pies of religion of any sect as found
in the Bible, but the temporal power
of the Pope in Rome thru his subjects
in this country must and viii be COM
batted because the individuals are not
free moral agents to read and think
for themselves as becomes every
American.
Donations, subscriptions and mem
berships to the National Reform As
ISOLATION were taken.
Its Present Program
National obedience to Christ as the
Supreme Ruler; enforcement Of ma
tional prohibition and its worldwide
extension; equal right for men and
women; industrial justice; religious
education; abolition of s~ectarian appro-
priations: the reading of the Bible in
public schools of the nation; Sabbath
observance; abolition of polygamy by
Federal Constitutional Amendment,
and a Federation of Nations for the
promotion of worldwide peace. To
promote these objects it expended
over 100000 in 1920 and its larger
plans call for a greatly increased bud
get for 1921.
Yours for a Better World,
The National Reform Association,
Pittsburgh, Chicago, Baltimore, Nash

Plenty of Farm Help

Summer will disclose an army of
more than 10000 900 hands at work on
farms thruout the United States help
ing harvest the nations food crops at
wages of 20 to rs per cent below
those of last year, according to E. c.
Murray, chief of the bureau of crop
estimates.
The plentiful supply of farm labor
should bring a big crop acreage and
lower food prices to in all
sections.
"The farm labor shortage that help
ed to cause high prices during the
war period is about over" said Mr..
Murray. "The supply of farm labor
now is 95 per cent of normal. The
demand just now is far below the sup
plv. The farm labor problems seer's
to have solved itself"
