HOW CAN A POOR

The Partnership In A Garage That
Came To A Youthful Mechanic
Through Judging An Industry By
The Quality OF Its Products

of Ontario, Canada, a few years ago.
learned uncOnsciOusly one step IN
judging a sound investment security
His employer kept him so busy that
the boy had little time to spend his
earnings. Another reason for saw
ing was that he did not wish to be
on the defense against hard work
all his life.
Daily in his work the boy learned
what accessories, articles and COM
modities were in most demand in the
automobile business. He saw which
companies apparently had a sue
cessful market for their products.
He reasoned that they must be max
ing money. Occasionally he bought
a share or two of stock or a $100
bond. He was particularly fortu-
nate. He was, of course, acting on
very insufficient knowledge, al
though, as far as it went, the boys
reasoning was sound. But it re-
Quires high technical skill frequent

chemists and specialists to judge
accurately the worth of an enter
prise and the value of it's securities.
To know that a business is sound,
that it has no apparent or probably
weakness requires much
experience and judgment that is not
by youth, or by adults un-
informed in the investment busi- |
ness.
However, this boy did select wise
ly, through the application Of one
bit of wisdom. He reaped double
reward. Handling products in
which he had invested his own
money put better spirit into his
work, made him more interested in
his work. That feeling cOnfiermed

DADS GETTING OLD

I~never noticed, not till now.
But Dad is getting old, somehow.
His shoulders stoOp, his step is slow
He doesn't have the pep and go
He used to have. He smiles the same
1t isn't though the smile that came
In younger years. Behind the smile
There seems some sadness all the
while.
Although he tells us yarns and jokes
1t now all seems for other folks.
Yes, if the truth were really told,
Dads getting old.
Dads getting old. I really doubt
If he himself has figured out
Just when or why or what it is.
But he talks less of what is his
And speaks of things that will be
ours,
And yet he keeps on sowing flow'rs,
And buying bonds, and planting
things
For other summers, other springs,
And does his work, and does it well;
And yet I've noticed, truth to tell,
He likes the sun, he feels the cold
Dads getting old.
We've had a rather easy time,
We children have-few hills to
climb,
Because our Dad had climbed the
worst.
I never thought of that at first,
1 thought that life was just for joy;
For that's the way to be boy,
But not the way to be man.
For there is something more to plan
Than pleasure now. It's time to take
A larger view for fathers sake,
It's time for me TO take hold
Dads getting old.

POULTRY INDUSTRY GROWING

Glendale is becoming more and
more a clearing point for poultry,
eggs and produce of all kinds. The
farmers are finding out that they
can at all times find buyers for their
products at a fair price, and in
consequence, our dealers are crowd
ed with business. A line of trucks is
being maintained by N. E. Pretty
man, Isaac F. Warren, Sr., and W.
H. Short, Jr., who leaves each night
for Wilmington, Philadelphia, and
some points in New Jersey, loaded
with eggs, poultry and Strawberries.
On the return trip they bring ban
anas, cabbage and other fruits and
vegetables which they sell to the
merchants of Glendale and nearby
towns. This business is in its in
fancy but bids fair to become a pay
ing investment for those who are
engaged in it.

CHILDREN'S DAY SERVICES

The Children's Day services which
were held in Ellendale M. E. Church

the program were rendered in very
creditable manner. Great credit is

sistants for the thorough manner in
which the children were trained
The drill was fine. The singing by
the choir was excellent. The church

Using Loop with a Neutrodyne

Many readers who have neutro-
dyne set will no doubt wish to use a
loop instead of an outdoor aerial. A
simple one to construct is shown in
the illustration. It consists of four
pieces of broomstick, cut to the
lengths indicated in the upper right
hand detail. Six saw cuts are made
on opposite sides at one end, to hold
the wire, and the inner ends are
screwed into gas-pipe cross. Num-
Der % Disc. wire is used and six turns
are wound on each side. The loop is
held up, yet permitted to rotate free
ly, by inserting the 17-in. stick into
u floor socket, which is screwed on a
wooden base. Both ends of the wire
are connected to a variable condenser
of .O01-mf. capacity, which is equal
to that of any 23-plate condenser.
From the condenser terminals leads
are brought out to the receiving set
and connected to the antenna and
ground binding posts.

S-Bend in Street at Crossing
Reduces Auto Hazards

As an experiment in safety, a novel
arrangement of the road and crossing
signs is being tried in Florida at a
grade intersection with-a railroad. At
the right, on either side of the track,
the street is curved and is guarded by
stout wire fence to keep autos from
plunging through. Motorists are thus
prevented from driving straight across
the rails, and in slowing down for the
curve, naturally become on the alert
for trains that may be approaching.
The sign, supplemented at night by
bright red lamp, is placed in the mid
die of the road at the end of plot

WARNS CITY

AT today's meeting of the Asso-
citation of Commences Committee on
solicitations the proposition of adj
vertising in the Big-4-Railroad Rec
ord was reported on unfavorably.
Although the activities of Bis
marck's Association of Commerce in
combating worthless advertising and
other schemes may make Bismarck
unpopular with promoters of such
schemes, business men will continue
to have numerous propositions to
deal with from time to time. The
cooperation of all business men is
necessary if we are to prevent the
glib-tongued schemer from adding
all unnecessary item to the cost of
doing business.

every one if he has the Associations
card, and, if not, do not entertain
his proposition under any circun,-
stances. Notify the secretary's Of

his proposition is legitimate and has

it investigated.
