when Chief Snider explained that
there was 81 cost for an interpre-.
tor.
"You'll either pay or go to
jail,'' added the chief.
II go to jail first Ross re-;
piled, at the same time displaying
additional money sufficient to-
keep him out of Jail. He was,
taken back to Jail where he might,
give the matter further thought.
Ross contended that The inter
pretor in the case was not use,i
for him, and that the city OF some
one else should pay the fees for
interpreting what witnesses In the
case said.
After he had gone to jail, Ross
got to thinking that he had better
call an attorney to verify the law
as it had been explained to MIN.
His attorney advised him that he
had better pay the additional in
depreciation fee, whereupon Ross
produced another dollar and was
released from jail.
Ross is an old offender on lott

rested and convicted on numerous
occasions of conducting houses

Il EIEP YOUR PROMISE

Tn BUSINESS the man whose rating
a. among hi, associates is the highest
is the man who keeps his PROMISES
Promises to pay, of course. must
be kept. If they are not there is no
more credit for tire gentleman who
makes them.
But business is not all promises to
pay. There are promises to enter into
contracts; promises to have shipments
ready at Il certain time: promises to
make business engagements
And the man who is more prodigal
Of promises than he is Of remember
ing to keep them soon is regarded
with diStrust and suspicion
man who has been immensely sue
ceSsful in the manufacturing business
is regarded by his associates as "har,{
boilrd' in the matter OF promises.
1t is almost impossible to get one
out Of him. But cnce his promise is
given. performance is assured, even
though the performance may mean Il
heavy financial loss to him.
He has discovered that it IS inst
as profitable to him to keep his prom
Uses at Far as it is to keep the stock
of his concern at par

But You will find that the value of
your promises is just as important to
you as the value Of your employers
promises are to him.
You will learn if you are observant
that You are judged not by making
promises but by keeping them. And
II after many trials your promises are
found to be good you will be trusted.
When a man is trusted he has made
an excellent start.
1t IS always we'll to consider the
matter Of promise before YOU make
it. This applies as much to a prom.

II YOU make no promises that YOU
are not reasonably sure to keep, YOU
will come to regard your word as
worth something. If your friends
know that they will not need to call
YOU up and remind you of a >promise.
your value will increase in their
eyes.
The pronise-breaker is word
breaker. and Word-breakers have no
standing. Think we'll of your word
and YOU will keep your promises. And
as soon as this is established. the
Ntrld will think well Of you.
