eZ1aad lloyd one, 1tels3As,.. Money
Money

The closest personal advisor of one Of the
richest men in America recently told us that
his friend, whose income was over half a mil
lion dollars a day, needed no counsel in the
game of getting, but he eagerly sought help
in the game of giving. To help men without
hurting them was the problem which perplexed
him.
"Do I live for myself or for others,-am l
altruistic or egotistic,-am I merely my own
keeper or am | my brothers keeper?"-these
are the problems which money forces you to
face; and you face them just as squarely with
four hundred a month as four millions a month.
1t is good to feed bread to the hungry, but
it is better to find out why they are without
bread, to help them get their own bread than
give them your bread.
The highest philanthropy is more than char
ity. The curse of the world is poverty. The
great war of the twentieth century is going
to be the war against poverty.
So long as money represents the product of
labor, the getters and givers of money will
find their opportunity for happiness only
through the privilege of charging the markets
of labor, rightly rewarding labor and giving
just returns to them who invest their Drawn
and brain for the good of their brothers as
well as for the good of themselves.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1922-12-06

a YOUNG man who recently inherited a
"A mammoth fortune speaking OF what MS
friends called his good fortune, said;
1T is not all the good fortune it seems to
be. With it has come a sense OF responsibility
that weighs and worries.
Moreover, | no longer hold the place among
my former friends that | used to hold and
want to retain. They envy me, and envy $50
lates. I cannot associate in the same old way
If | entertain my friends moderately learn
that | am accused of being miserly. III en-
terrain them lavishly | know they must feel
that | put them beyond the hope OF recipro-
eating courteses. l find my money is putting
my friends to the test quite as much as me.
| am anxious to use my money for the good
of others, not alone for my good.
"Those who can share that thought with me
and help me in that desire are few. My good
fortune has built a wall about me"
Money is the insignia of labor. 1t represents
the investment Of Drawn and brain. He who
wastes it wants. He who squanders it upon
his own pleasures and ~pastimes is forced to
feel the waste even though his resources be
so inexhaustible that he may never feel the
pinch.
Mans worth is measured by his earnest
eaqerness to help others.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD
 FARMER OF SOUTH,
 WALLACE THINKS
Planter Has Had His Geth- Semane and May Now Lift Up Head, Secre-
 tary Says
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-HeraId,
 800 Davidson Butldins

Washington. January 1.-(Special.) The farmer of the south who had his Gethsemane in 1921 may lift up his head. In a comparative sense. bless ings are In store for him. His bur den will be eased up, even if it is not lifted.
 There are signs which point to the above. The Secrtary of the Agricul- ture beholds them. MT, Wallace points out indications which he de- clares to be hopeful in the following interviews:
 Credit conditions are better. In terest rates are softening. Reduction already made in freight rates lightens the transportation burden. Cost of production will be lower in 1922.
 Probable reduction in acreage will probably result in increased prices. The paralyzing effect of the sudden drop in prices last year is wearing off and the farmer will return to his work believing that the worst is over.
 Congress has indicated a willing ness to enact helpful legislation.
 Farmers are becoming aware of the fact that putting farmers on a sound business basis is up to them. and that by organization, they can reduce cost of production.
 "In industrial and financial cen ters there is coming to be a better understanding of the important part the farmer plays in our general scheme of economies, and there Is a more sympathetic and intelligent at- titude toward him and his problems.
 Farmers, on account of improving onditions. will resume buying neces- sities. and business of those who deal with him, will be improved. Manu- lecturers will likewise feel the new impetus to trade
 "Everything considered. therefore. we can enter the New Year in spirit of hopefulness and good cheer There is nothing indicating boom times for the farmer, but there is promise of better times'

WRIGHT FLEW JUST
 1 MINUTE; ST|NSON IN AIR WHOLE DAY
Great Development in Aircraft Is Seen During the Past Eighteen Years-Rec-
 0rdS Broken
By Associated Press

New York, January l.--Man s first feeble flutter in his conquest of the air lifted him aloft for the fleet years later he scared eagle-like through space for 26 Is hours.
 When Wilbur Wright, in heavier than-air machine, flew S52 feet at Kitty Flaw on December IT, 1903. the feat was pronounced one of the mar vels of the century. The whole world rang with the accomplishment.
 Yesterday, monoplane. pioloted by Edward Stinson, accompanied by Lloyd Bertaud, a mechanic, finished continuous flight of 26 hours. l9 minutes, 30 seconds. In Is years R span of less than minute had been stretched to more than day and a night. Yet the marvellous perform ance at Mineola is heralded as simply the breaking of worlds endurance flight in aviation.
 While the advance in the science of flying has been both rapid and startling, when the period involved is considered, careful analysis shows that the progress came not by leaps and bounds, but rather through hundreds of experiments, sacrificed lives and determination seldom devoted to similar projects.
 Initial Flight
 Five years after Wright's initial flight. he still held the worlds record with 7T miles made in 3 hours, 20 minutes, 23 seconds, at Anvours. France. Two years before that. A Santos Dumont covered 720 feet in the first flight ever made in Europe. In 1909 Henry Farnum had gained the flying honors for France with a flight of 137 miles in hours 6 min utes. 27 seconds.
 Just a decade after Wright had made his first hop off, national and international flying races for>famous trophies were the vogue in both Flu rope and America Then came the war and the sporting side of aviation gave way to the more serious combat of the air with hundreds of aviators killing and being killed in a realm foreign to mankind but a few years before.
