THE A &c OF SUCCESS


is in the hands Of the young people
--Barbourville included. The older
men who have succeeded are the
young men of yesterday and their
that raised them. It is to the young
men and young women we must look
for modern success which is embrac-
ed largely in the first three letters
Of the alphebet--A. B. c., or al
ways Be Careful"
Be careful to improve the mind,
natures wonderful bank, which may
be filed with golden nuggets of use
full knowledge, or allowed to be-
come the depository of junk or even
the back-wash OF filth.
Always Be Careful of your good
name. Your banker examines it
carefully If you do business with
him. A good name is an asset not
owned by the crook, even tho he
may have a bank account. An un-
tarnished family name is a priceless
treasure to pass on to future gener-
ations.
Always Be Careful of your hon
esty. To some men, crooks by ma
ture or by self training, honesty is
a delusion, but to the man who be-
lieves in God as He should be be-
lieved in, honesty will be seen as
one of His natural laws. 1t is the
fundamental groundwork of human
business and because a few crooks
break His law and apparently geo
away with it is no reason for doing
the same oneself. Every crook fin
ally accomplishes his own undoing.
No one can be a crook without NOR
al and spiritual damage at least as
well as acquiring the contempt of
his fellowmen.
Always Be Careful to save some
thing. The young man, who, on a
small salary, has saved few humid
red dollars, will find a backer in a
banker where the man with a larger
income and a bunch of debts will
get the cold shoulder. Bankers are
awfully human and knowing human
nature as they must, they do con-
siderable banking themselves-on
character.
The squirt and the spark get no.
where, but the steady chug, chug.
and the glow of real heat each ac-
complishes its task.
There are young men and young
women around our own town, who.
it tney would stop AID think of the
future and would apply the A B c
to their lives could and would make
big success of their lives. Thew
have brains, but lack self control.
Because others own a thing they
must own it; because others do a
thing they must do it and so it goes.
They lack the A B C of success for
which they long but which is ever
lastingly out of their reach because
self denial and success planning are
not in their curriculum.
An excellent test of how you stand
would be to have an heart to heart
talk with men who handle other peo-
ple's money-bankers, in fact. 1t
be a fine thing, too, if the man who
asks should take the bankers ans
wer in the right spirit.
There are men in town who pre-
fer crookedness: there are men who
are so honest they would scorn to
do anything which is not straight
and again, there is the man who is
careless. but Intentionally straight,
who means to pay his debts but who
never quite accomplishes the feat.
The A 3 c of success is. com
prised in improving the mind to en-
joy success, a good name. including
one for honesty and sensible econ
omy, combined with hard work.
Why stay down when you may
rise?

Music Composer Can
Neither Sing Nor Play

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, July 26.-
A composer who writes overtures, and
melodies, and sonatas, and things OF
symphonic sound, and does not sing nor
play an instrument-says he can't do
either.
Such an apparent anomaly is on the
University of Oregon campus this sum-
mer in the person of Fred johnson OF
Colorado Springs, who is known to the
world of music as Frederick Ayres. Mr..
johnson is here spending the summer
with friends from Colorado Springs.
~ have always written music" said
Mr.. Johnson, and although / am unable
to play any instrument, | compose be-
cause love it.
Music" he continued when the inter-
viewer had succeeded in getting him to
proceed, SHOULD be studied by everyone
To me it is the most important Of ell
subjects introduced into he high school
curriculum. To be a genius 1t Is neces-
sary to be born with some tal3nt, out
by studying one gets familiar with good
things and learns to appreciate them
Educated in Cornell and other univer-
stiles, Mr.. johnson has studied under
masters of composition and has taught
theory and composition for years, be-
sides lecturing and writing articles on
musical subjects. Among his compost
tions, written under his pen name, are
the overture From the Plains op. ID;
"The Voice of the City" Book Of Moth
er Goose Melodies" and several sonatas.

Community Service

and Stockyards act it is doubtful if the
public in general fully appreciated the
significance of this legislation. The re-
cent decision of the supreme court in
holding that commission merchants,
traders and other people who operate in
the stockyards come under the act,
places the act in a crystallized form be-
fore packers, market operators, produc-
ers and others concerned alike, and
seems to clear away all obstacles to the
full and intelligent enforcement of the
legislation. We have had satisfactory
cooperation from the packers and own
ers of stockyards during the organiza-
tion of the Packers and Stockyards ad-
ministration, and hope we may have
the same sort of cooperation from these
marketing agencies in the future.
The decision handed down by Chief
Justice Taft is gratifying, both in that
it afirms the constitutionality of the act
and in that it makes plain the purpose
of the act. As stated by the Chief JUS
tice, "the object to be secured by the act
is the free and unburdened flow of live
| stock from the ranges and farms
through the great stockyards and
slaughtering centers-and thence in the
form of meat products in the consuming
cities" That was what congress had il
mind, as developed in harings before th'
committee before the act was passed
The purpose was not alone to remove
certain unfair practices and fagran
abuses but to permit constructive
study of the meat industry from thu
ranges and farms to the table of tn
consumer.

Live Stock Exchange were carrying on
boycott against certain other firms. Af-
ter a two-day conference with represent
atives of the department the boycott was
discontinued. In another case con-
templated increase in feed prices was
held up pending an investigation as to
the reasonableness of such advance,
Certain abuses with regard to gratuities
to some shippers were eliminated at
still another point.
Although the first few months have
been given to stockyard and marketing
problems, the supervision of packers, as
outlined in the act, has not been neglec-
ted. One of the more pressing COM
| plants was the sale Of 10 ounces of but
ter in pound cartons, The practice was
discontinued after conference between
our people and packer representatives
and the principle Of standard containers
was adopted. Attention has been given
to the prices paid by packers for cattle
reacting to the tuberculosis test, and in
the future fairer prices will be paid fol
these cattle which are fit for food.
A careful reading and Interpretation
of the act fails to show anything but
what is reasonable and not injurious
to legitimate business. The agencies af'
fected will find that the law guarantees
fair competition on equal terms in al
open market, Producers will find in il
safeguards for the economic and unob
structed flow of live stock through tht
markets into the channels Of trade.

We are perfectly willing for Con-
gress to pass an appropriation from
which we can get financial benefit,
but we cry economy If Congress tries
to pass an appropriation to stamp out
the murderers Of our children.
We are blowing trumpets and con-
graduating ourselves about the mag
nifcent work we are doing along
lines Of sanitation, but we are doing
practically nothing to eradicate the
great venereal diseases that are af-
fecting and staining ninety-two per
cent. of the population of the United
States.
There is a continuous stream from
the cesspools of society flowing
through the yards and municipal gov
ernments Of this country poisoning
the lives of our children and staining
the characters of our boys and girls.
Before we used antitoxins in diph-
liberia five out Of every ten cases
died. Now, with the use of antitox-
ins only one out of ten die.
People who fight vaccinations and
other methods by which children are
made immune to disease are the enc
mics of our children. They are the
curses of society, and they ought to
be incarcerated.
The time has come to spend any
amount of money that might be nee
essary to give to this land boys and
girls whose bodies and minds are alb
solutely perfect

The Chld's Enemies

All Investigations should begin
with and be for the benefit Of the
child. The population of the United
States today would be fifteen or
twenty millions more had it not been
for the neglect of the parents and for
municipal government. More than
fifteen or twenty millions of children
have been born in the United States
in the past fifteen or twenty years,
who have died because Of criminal,
domestic, and municipal neglect.
We belong to the brass-band pro-
cession in works of superfciality. We
are excessive takers, but are rather
meagre in labors of worthwhile in
vestigations.
We hate the drudgery of patient,
toiling investigation for the protec-
tion of our children. We have Grim
inally neglected the child prior to
birth and Immediately following his
entrance into the world.
We are perfectly willing for Con-
gress to vote millions of dollars to
fight diseases now destroying our
hogs, sheep, cattle, and horses, but
we have spent one hundred years
preventing Congress from voting an
appropriation to stamp out the dis
eases destroying our children.

mail guards was not entirely original
with former Postmaster General VIII
Hays, according to Major General
Wendell e Neville, Marine Corps,
who says that the marines were first
used for this. duty in the Revolu-
tion.
The first authentic record Of ma
rine mail guards, according to Gen
eral Neville, deals with marines from
Hartford, Conn, In May, ITS. Al
this time reinforcements, mail dis
patches and chest Of 800 pounds
specie were sent to Fort Ticonderoga

fore, As reliable guards were scarce
