TIMELY ADVICE BY
BABSON, THE EXPERT.

Roger BaFson, noted business
expert, says "there is surely some
reason why the people flock to one
merchaFit and pass by another"
The opinions and advices of this
MAN. are considered sufficiently
valuable to many business men to
Warrant the payment of substan-
tial fee for his bulletins. SO any
thing he says about business meth
DDS is worth much to those who
take his advice. In a recent state
ment he said:
During the next few months To-
cal merchants should advertise.
National manufacturers are utiliz-
ing the great power of advertising
in the distribution of their prod
ucts. The successful department
stores are also using large space
in the newspapers; but the smaller
retailer has failed to advertise as
he should. Perhaps that is why he
is small-one cannot tell. There
surely is some reason why the peo-
pie flock to one merchant and
pass by another. Statistics GER
tainlv indicate that the reason is
closely connected with the adver-
tis:ng. Let me also take this oc-
casion to urge retailers to use
the newspapers in dignifed way
rather than attempting to use bill
boards and novelty contrivanees.
During the past two months ] have

AT almost every cross road is some

thing else sold to some bank or
merchant who thought he had dis
covered a cheaper or more effec-
tive method Of advertising than his

"YOUR OWN BOSS"
is ALL A DREAM.

ID ALL "A DNEA AM.
Are you nursing a hope that
some day you can be your own
boss" instead of working under
some else's orders? Certainly.
Everybody does.
But there is no such a thing as
absolute independence in life. AL
ways there is a boss-either a
person or a force that stands over
US with a whip.
Take the career of one man
Rodger Dolan. In babyhood his
mother was his boss. When he
grew too large for her to handle,
dad stepped in with single.
Rodger ran away from home
when he was Is, tired of the
farm. He became a waterboy for
tong buckin," crew that was lay
ing an oil pipeline through amid
die western tsate. He had boss
on this job-a rough boss.
Rodger graduated. He bucked
tongs with the crew. Still he had
a boss, the foreman. Because he
was the best tong bucker in the
gang, always on time, exerting his
last ounce of strength, quick to
notice and report how money could
be saved by taking shortcuts in the
work, Rodger soon got the fore
mans job. The foreman moved
on-promoted.
"Ha" chuckled Rodger. New
Pm my own boss"
But Rodger quickly found that
he had merely exchanged bosses
traded the foreman for a district
superintendent. SO it went. The
years slipped by. Rodger kept
rising. Finally he was vice-presi-
dent of the oil company. Appar-
emily he had only to move one
more link in the chain of bosses,
and he'd be in a position where
he'd have no one over him.
The greet day came-Kismet.
Rodger became president of the
company. He sighed with relief at
finally being his own boss. But the
sigh died in his throat. For he
learned that he still had bosses
the company's directors and stock
holders, income tax auditors, CON
gressional legislation and that
most tryannical of all bosses-the
company's customers.
To please these bosses, kept
Rodger hustling until his hair
turned white.
Then he retired, with enough
money to support him in comfort
for the rest of his life.
But I still have a boss" he con-
fdes. my children who used to
boss me around have grown up
and grandchildren have taken
hand at the bossing. I'm within
sight of the time when I'll have
one foot in the grave, and it's
dawn;ng on me that l still and al
ways will have eternak the boss
God"
We cannot escape from the boss
system. Go even,fo a deserted is
land and the boss hobs up like a
ghost weather conditions, crop
failure, 3eath. And over all, of
course, God.
The boss system is part of nat
ur9s law. 1t is universal-from the
sun bossing the planets and re-
volve around it to the school Of
fish or flock of wild ducks follow
a leader.
Where you find no boss, you
nothing worth bossing.

SETTLING THE QUESTION
OF IDEAL CITIZENSHIP.

~ d conference IN washington
someone raised the question of
what constitutes the ideal citizen.
A committee made up of leaders
IN various fields of human activi-
ty, representatives of divers
shades of thought and opinion,
agreed on . number of the char
actenstics of such a citizen, es-
sentially as follows: The ideal citi-
zen desires to create more than
ne consumes, endeavoring to aug
ment the worlds accumulated sur
plus of wealth, knowledge and
beauty; he loves his country and
desires to qualify himself for serv-
ing her efficiently in whatever way
his help may be needed; he does
not shirk such civic obligations as
voting, paying taxes and perform
ing jury duty; he insists on JUS
stice and fair play and he respects
law and constituted authority; he
recognizes the mutual interdepen-
dence of men and willingly coop
crates for the common welfare;
he understands that his life must
be ordered in accordance with
principles and ideals binding on
all the race and he seeks not only
to serve his own generation but to
promote the possible higher attain
.ment of prosperity.
How fortunate for America and
the rest of the world if the ideals
thus set forth could be blazoned
upon the banners of our citizen
ship the length and breadth of the
land. How smoothly our lives
would run and what wonderful
forward strides our nation would
take if all Americans were guided
by these principles in all their &C
tions and in all their relations
with their fellow men.
The first Of the specifications
laid down by the committee should
be specially emphasized, for we
are persuaded that in a broad,
general sense it comprehends all
the others. 1t is a point whose
neglect by mankind the world over
is responsible for some of the
most individual, national and in
ternational troubles.
We submit that the person who
desires and endeavors to create
more than he consumes, earnest
ly striving at all times to augment
the world's-not primarily his own
or his country's accumulated sur
plus Of wealth, knowledge and
beauty, will be a mighty good
citizen. He will also be an eX-
cellent neighbor, using the term
in both the narrow and its broad,
unrestricted sense.
1t may be safely assumed that
the citizen who does all this day
in. and day out is free in an I'M
usual degree from inordinate
selfshness, avarice, dishonesty and
other moral blemishes that circum-
scribe and handicap so many of
us. In short, it's a hundred
chances to one that you will find
in him all of the other attributes,
enumerated and therefore may
rate him a citizen per excellence.
