From coast to coast Mr.. Pueyrre-
don took to roads filled with touring
Americans. He talked with university
professors. farmers, business men, Ia
borers and state officials.
Admiration Is Increased.
MY previous admiration for your
country" he says, was tremendous
ly Increased by this opportunity to
appreciate the energy and effort
which has made it,"
The Argentine ambassador is pre-
pairing report of his travels to send
to his Government, embodying sew
eral lessons" which he believes are
to be learned by Argentina. Among
these are the desirability of utiliz-
ing waterfalls for irrigation and cleo
trio power, the economic function of
grain and several elevators inland,
and the efficacy of dry farming.
Il observed the influences of these

The Handicap.

Now James J. Hill is in his grave,
but ere he went he said, THE man
who hasn't learned to save will never
get ahead" Philosophers have left us
tones. in every bygone age; the shin
ing thoughts of noble domes are on
the printed page; great sageS of a
world renown have shown the proper
way: but few of them boiled wisdom
down as did this same James j. The
man who earns a modest wage, and
salts a part away, will have his bum
die in old age, and he'll be blithe and
gay. He lacked the skill, perhaps, to
earn a salary immense; but where he
had no skill to burn, he did have COM
mon sense. He arly learned to save a
great when kopecks 10 were drawn:
and now he journeys In his boat, when
youth and strength are gone. The
country's full of cheerful men whose
salaries are fine; at tasks that paid
their sires a yen, they're earning six
or nine. You say. pray, save a dollar
BILL" to which they answer, Rats"
the pregnant words of James J. Hill
aren't pasted in their hats. Though
men admire the skillful chap whose
salary is high, he suffers meath a han
dicap that sWampS him by and by. A
princely stipend does no good If it IS
all blown in, nor sailed down in kegs
Of wood, or cylinders of tin; If it is
used in vain carouse. where garish
lights are burned, if it is handed to
the cows as fast as it Is earned. And
often men whose pay is high don't
find that pay enough; they go in debt,
alas, to buy all sorts of useless stuff.
The poorhouse boXstalls such men fill.
and there bewail their fate, and read
the words of James J.. Hill, when it's
too late, too late!
