The dealer, Mr.. John DonahOe, bid

hand with the ten of spades, discarding
the trey of hearts from his own hand,
he could have made grand slam. He
was so excited, however, over the bid

or not Mr.. Donahoe's bid o. one dia'

a case of one diamond or seven dia'

A would undoubtedly have doubled

CHARACTER RArlncs--.NDUsTRY

- Much interest has been excited Of late, by the
axperipents in various schools, in marking their
SHpIIs 70 a large extent upon character achieve
rent. instead Of mostly upon the things they learn
~ outof books. The Minneapolis board of eduea-
ssn Is Of those that have been trying out such
nsathods, and II Is marking its students largely on
lie qualities Of industry. honesty. judgment
punetuality and department. Such methods prob
sbIx Indicate radical changes likely 70 occur
IN American education during the next few years.
Whether not the schools place special en-
phass these points Of character. they count ire
mendousy in business and industry. The people
who so TO work in offices. stores. etc. are con-
stantly being observed to see how they measure
up according TO these standards.
Take the quality Of industry, for instance. II
lisi al the foundation of all success. II is the
very basic element IN achievement Even II per-
son Is brilliant and his head Is full of clever ideas
he may never get anywhere il he Is not industri-
sous The world is sick and tired Of brilliant gen.
fuses who act STEADY by jerks principle.
IL wants instead good reliable pullers. who are
working every hour to get results In the long run
get tired and quit.
The habit Of steady industry is one that can't
be beaten. Not merely do the industrious people
get lot Of work done. but as the result of their
.steady persistence. they commonly acquire good
judgment. and their experience is very valuable.
They learn how to meet difficulties and overcome
obstacles. and please the people whom they are
trying 10 serve. The first question asked Of the
iasplrant in the field of business is this 'Are yoa
willing to work."

WHY PEOPLE CAN'T SAVE

People frequently remark, in regard to some
trayagant, that they going to spend the money
anyway, SO they might as well spend it for that as
for anything else. It will be difficult for these
folks to get ahead.
That attitude is one of the principal reasons
why many families can not save cent They get
it into their heads that the money is going to be
spent anyway. and they use It lavishly until it
is all gone, when they are forced to economic
until the next instalment of pay comes in.
When they say in regard to any partic-
ular expenditure the situation is usually that they
could get along without that particular thing,
at least could get the result they desire in less
expensive way.
People will never accumulate q comfortable
reserve, unless they make the determination to
take advantage of every possible chance TO save.
Some folks, when they learn that certain thing
is only going to cost them IS when they thought it
would cost SO, at once proceed to "blow lin" the
balance. They regard 1t as money earned.
But the trouble with that habit is, that for
SNShy -ShiS siaCy saw uVoA ucSouSC ooAhiSSiiiiS
costs less than they expected there will be num-
Der of times when they will run behind because
things cost more than they anticipated.
People should fix in their minds certain sum
Of money which they feel able to save each week
month, and then they should save it, barring of
course unfortunate accidents that inevitably call
for unexpected outlays And then if stroke of
good fortune gives them little more, they should
save some part of that They will find such wind
falls more than offset by the unexpected demands
for cash.

CUBA's SUGAR CROP.
(Havana Evening News,

Reports that are being made of the sugar pro-
duction in various countries are now showing why
it is that the Cuban crop is not really the one that
is having the effect of causing the sugar prices to
stay SO low. There has been too much exaggeration
as to the size Of Cuba's sugar crop Some esti.
mates have gone more than half million tons
over what the crop Is likely to be-. Yet when this
fact has been discovered, there has been no per-
ceptible rise in price, On the other hand, with
probabilities for shorter crop in Cuba have been
considered. the price continues to drop.
Cuba Is only factor in the worlds sugar
supply. and in way controls it. OF course Cuba
Is an important factor. but should there be any
sort of disaster that would entirely eliminate the
years production the world would go along as
usual, and there would not be any great distur-
bance in supply
II Cuba cuts short its supply. production would
be increased elsewhere Therefore, the only way
for Cuba to receive benefit is not through battle
Of wits with all the producers Of the world but to
enter int agreement with the United States so
that Cuba can receive protection in the same way
that the American sugar producers receive.
II Cuba could sell It's sugar 10 the United
States on the same basis does Forto Rico or the
Philippines there would be plenty Of prosperity
here. Give Cuba an equal chance with The insular
possessions of the United States which. includes
Porto Rice Hawaii and the Philippines, Cuba would
certainly become the wesithiest country in the
world. The Washington government had planned
for this sane thing many years ago. There have
been influences working all this time prevent this
but they win not be able to prevent II the campaign
Is begun and started with the same sort Of enthus
ssm that has marked other efforts of Cuba and the
friends of Cuba in the United States

QUALITY RATHER THAN NUMBERS

People used to consider that it was creditable
II they came from big city. They would register
at hotel with pride # they could write New York
or Chicago after their names. But If they came
from Podunk. they might conceal the fact by CIV
ing the name Of the nearest large place.
Today SO many people have moved out from
large cities that that sentiment does not exist.
Everyone knows that these cities contain mass
Of mediocre people, and the opinion is rather gem
eral that conditions are happier in smaller places.
There are multitudes of people in big cities
who are accomplishing nothing except to go
through the motions Of daily work in an indiffer-
ent way. No special wisdom or glory comes from
standing on sidewalks and watching the pro-
cession go by.
