How Clemenceau Got
His Start in America

son tells the story of Clemenceau's
early days in this country as follows:
'"The evening before his departure
from France he asked an American
friend, the artist William f. Marshall,
to give him a few letters of introduc-
ton. Marshall followed C~lemeneeau
to New York, and soon the two were
sharing modest quarters in West
Twelfth street.-the same by an odd
coincidence that so years earlier had
sheltered Napoleon III. In after years
it was the writer's fortune to know and
often talk with Marshall.

Men Fail In Business
Because They Do Not
Form Logical Plans

Men fail largely for three rea-
sons" declares DR.. James NJ. Fitz-
gerald, vocational counselor who has
placed $1,000 persons in their right
Jobs. Writing in Forbes Magazine,
he says:
First. they cannot anaIyze them
selves correctly. nor are their parents
or teachers able to do so.
Second. men do o form logical
plans of procedure.
Third, they lack self-eonfidence and
continuity of purpose,
"Rivet these things accurately for q
man and success is inevitable.
The failures that we make in life,
the failures that we make in business
are largely fundamentally inherent in
the individual: that is to say, lack OF
education. lack of perception, lack of
understanding of himself, some weak
ness in his character. some physical
disability or weakness. something de-
ficient in his temperament, or an
imblanee in his personality, are the
causes for those failures.
More than 40 per cent of the
failures in business are due to mems
inefficiency and misdirected selec-
tons Of their vocations. or TO faulty
education for their business This
should challenge the strong, ~clean-cut,
high-thinking type of business man,"

MONTANA w.
SHOWING LOCATION OF
PRINCIPAL POWER PLANTS

p1dliI5 liOW (WHICH dll0 w
Grated by the Montana
Power company, there will
shortly be added a fourteenth.
Although the latest unit will
add $4,000 horsepower to the
sum total of the company's gen.
Grating capacity, it's real sig
nificance lies not in it's capacity
but in its location.
If you will look at the map
of Montana, you will see that
practically all of the company's
existing plants are in the west
ern part of the state, chiefly
along the Missouri river and its
tributaries. the Big Hole and
Madison. Here, among the min
ing and kindred industries, the
company has found the larger
part Of it's market. It's trans
mission lines, running in a gen.
orally northeasterly and south
westerly direction, have for
years conveyed their heavy
freightage of invisible energy
to the electrified railroads and
the varied industries of Great
Falls, Helena, Butte and Ana
conda.
Insofar as this section of the
state is concerned, the task of
generating, transmitting and
distributing a large volume Of
power to important consumers
has been relatively easy. Album
dant hydro-electric power has
been available at no great dis
lance from industries requiring
such energy. Power sites and
markets have been, SO to speak,
near neighbors.
However, some years ago,
through increasing demands in
eastern Montana, it was found
necessary to hook onto this
mountain trunk line, running
from Great Falls to Butte, a
series of transmission lines
which would carry energy as
far east as Yellowstone and
Musselshell counties. A glance
at the map will show these
lines, reaching out, like slender
fingers, from that thick wrist
of power, made up of the great
plants on the Missouri at Volta,
Rainbow Falls, Hotter, Hauser
Lake, Canyon Ferry and the
plants on the Madison and the
big Hole.
1t is characteristic of the
Montana Power company that
it never waits to be coerced.
It's fixed policy is to anticipate
the future. Hence the impor-
tant thing. about the establish
ment of this, the fourteenth
and latest. unit, is the fact that
the company has resolutely pio-
neered to the east and, 200
miles from it's present chain of
plants, in Saltwater county, in
the midst of a physical setting
that challenges the courage of
capital and the skill of science,
it has begun the erection of a
plantwhich will mean increased
service for the entire eastern
end of the system, including
such important cities as Bill
lings, Lewistown, Livingston,
Bohemian, Columbus, Roundup
and HarloWton.
In Advance of the Demand
This emphatic demonstration
of farsighted enterprise is typi-
cal of the company's policy. In
stead of there being an actual
demand for more power any
where on the system, the fact
is that at present the eompany's
output is not fully taken up.
Nevertheless, with a faith in
Montana's future that is re-
.freshing in these days of pessi-
mistic prophesy, John D. Ryan,
president of the company; F.
M. Kerr, vice president and gen.
