A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS

By S. w. STRAUS
President American Society for Thrift
what are the chances of success
for young person today as compared
with the opportunities of a generation
ago?"
This question was recently asked
of this writer by correspondent, who
received the answer that never be-
fore were the opportunities for worthy
success better than now.
1t should be borne in mind that en-
vironment has now and always has
had less to do with personal advance
ment than the individuals attitude
toward the problems of life. General
ly speaking, ones own fate is in ones
own hands. Perhaps one of the most
common errors made by those who
fail to make advancement lies in their
lack of concentration and thorough
ness.
Specifically is but another name
for thriftlessness in time and oppor-
tunity.
The problems of life are so large
and complex and the range of human
endeavor is so wide that individual
effort, to be effective, must be limited
to definite lines. The young man of
today has a limitless range of oppor-
tunities before him and he can sue
cessfully fit into the scheme of pro-
gress if he will realize that there is
always need for those who can do
things well.
Our schools and colleges are send
ing their young men and young wo-
men out into the world. While they
have completed their academic les
sons, they still have before them those
larger lessons which can be learned
only in the practical school of life.
In entering this new life the one prac-
tical lesson they should learn first of
all is that it is better to know one
thing well than to know a score of
things specifically, and that it is
better to be able to do one thing right
than to have twenty slipshod accom-
plishments.
Not doing things we'll is no better
than not doing them at all. To per-
form ones tasks thoroughly is a very
good exemplification of thrift because
it is only through this thoroughness
of performance that one can make
adequate advancement.

NECESSITIES in BUSINESS
BY william Feather.

wanted a package of tobacco and
l stopped at ten by twelve, one
story restaurant of which there are
several dozen in my city. They are
located on vacant lots, and as an ex-
ample of business enterprise are just
one notch ahead of a peddler's cart.
The lower windows of this tiny re-
staurant were screened with white
curtains. The interior was a delight
full surprise. 1t was as orderly and
smelled as sweet as a good housewives
kitchen. No odor of stale grease, no
stacks of dirty dishes, no spotted
tablecloths. A six-foot counter and
three small tables were covered with
white oilcloth. Parallel to the coun-
ter was a gasoline stove, and adjoin-
ing the counter was cigar stand.
1 purchased my tobacco from a wo-
man of about fifty, obviously the wife
of the proprietor, who was working
at the stove. Both wore large, white
aprons which set off their fine COM
plexions nicely.
l was in the place less than a
minute, but this was long enough to
convince me that there were two
honest people who were certain to
make a living out of this enterprise.
Sometimes 1 wonder if the large
volume of writing and lecturing on
business strategy does not tend to
make business enterprise seem too
communicated Moderate cuccocc in
business is really very simple. The
first principle is to spend less than
you take in. If all bills are paid
promptly, and the owner lives on
what's left, he hardly needs to keep
books.
Many people fail in business be-
cause they are unable to observe this
simple rule of keeping expenditures
within income.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1927-12-08

The next requirement is good pro-
duct or good service, or perhaps both.
The wants of customers must be
anticipated and met.
Honesty, courtesy, cleanliness, good
workmanship, diligence, and moderate
intelligence will insure success in in
dependent business just as surely as
they will insure the permanency of
a job.
Large success may demand other
qualities, such as unusual organizing
and executive ability, a keen financial
sense, and exceptional courage, but
this editorial is not written for men
who are trying to pile up million,
but for the thousands who cherish
the hope of becoming their own boss
and gaining a comfortable living.
1t seemed to me that the elderly
couple had established the basis for
success in their portable restaurant.

A Republican clip sheet coming out
from the national capitol gives this
comment:
'The season of the year is ap-
preaching when the internationalists
will begin to suggest that Uncle Sam
ought to be playing Santa Claus to
the rest of the world.
Most of the fellows who are advo-
eating a reduction of the tariff to aid
the farmers don't want to help the
farmers nearly so much as they do
the importers"
1t would seem that the countries
without tariff are playing Santa
Claus to Uncle Sam the year around
when they pay tariff on all goods
they export to this country. 1t would
also seem that there are enough i'm
porters here and enough competition
amongst them so that if the tariff
was reduced, prices could not be held
up to the same level. If the present
importers could hold up the price
which sounds nreasonable-there are
surely others who stand ready to enter
that business. There would be COM
petition all right.

DEEDS AND ACTS COUNT

In recent speech, while dwelling
on patriotism and loyalty, Francis G..
Blair, Springfield, ILL.,, president of
the National Educational Association
said:
Il shall count that man loyal and
true to America, no matter where his
ancestors were born, what language
he speaks, what church he attends,
or what color his skin-all those it
seems to me are matters that he could
not control himself-but I shall count
that man loyal if he is loyal and true
in heart and mind, in deed and act
to the great forest of boys and girls
and willing to see that they have a
chance to grow up into good strong
human forests-the future citizens of
America"

SMILE

All have from time to time expert
enced the healing effect of a smile
given by companion, a superior, a
friend. The smile is a symbol of
sympathy and understanding. 1t has
much the same effect upon the broken
or dissatisfied spirit as has the boun-
teous sunshine upon the broken body.
Your smile may be good medicine for
someone.
The sincere smile is the gift of the
optimist to the world. No one, who
looks only on the gloomy side of life,
smiles. Already there is too much of
gloom in the world-too little of joy.
Why not let the sunshine of your
smile do little for the happiness of
your neighbor at the next machine or
the next desk?
If you begin to smile, We'll soon
all be smiling. The smile is contagi-
Gus. Smile and the world smiles
with you" A smile given in the
morning will come back to you before
the day is done. =.

THE SPEECHLESS DINNER

After-dinner speeches are surely the
most dreadful form of torture ever
devised by man; no guest, whether he
paid for his ticket or came as a dead
head, has enjoyed one from the year
1904 B. c. until now, and anything
which tends to make them less fire.
quent must be regarded as a step in
the right direction, says writer in
the New York World.
He goes on and says: Yet it is
doubtful whether the idea of doing
away with them altogether will ever
become popular. Horrible as they are,
they serve a useful purpose, for they
make futile occasion seem impor-
tant. When the POSTMASTER wraps
for order, leads off with Gentlemen,
we are gathered here tonight" and
then without further ado launches in
to the story of the two Irishmen who
went into a hotel, a peculiar mood
are pushed back, vests busted free
from ashes, and cocktail TASKS parked
decorously under the tables. What
has gone before, these gestures plain
ly say, may have been light, frivolous
and little bit naughty; but what now
impends is weighty business, so that
the time has come to put away child
ish things.
So the evening drags on. The as
sembled company, affected, perhaps,
by the proximity of the newspaper re-
porters, endures it all for the public
good, happy in the belief that large
events will be shaped by these plati-
tudes. Is there any ground for the

ONLY FEW TOWNS ARE
ON BOTH RAILROADS
The Railroads Side Of the Story
on the Merging Of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific
is Here Given.

approximately 81 per cent of all
agricultural products shipped from
the Northwest on Great Northern and
Northern Pacific rails are loaded at
points that are served by one line or
the other, but not by both, said Ralph
Budd, Great Northern President, in
answer to statements circulated by
DIRECTORS to unification to the effect
that unification would injure the
Northwest through elimination of
competition.
I'm the case of grain, less than 9
per cent moves from stations on both
railways" said Mr.. Budd, potatoes
less than six per cent, live stock less
than 3 per cent.
"The professed alarm over rail COM
petition in the Northwest is voiced
not by the hundreds of smaller towns
where the agricultural products are
loaded, but by two or three cities that
fear reduction in present pay roll
benefits. ~. ~
"These operating expenses are a
direct tax on agriculture. Whatever
is done to reduce them, or, as we pro-
pose, to change the present duplica-
tion of labor on repair work over to
the building of equipment, is reliev-
ing the cost of transportation just
that much.
"The payroll cities that presume to
speak for the Northwest condemn I'M
ification because our officials, lack
ing rate-making jurisdiction them
selves, have been unable to state
specifically when and to what extent
rates would be reduced as the result
of the savings proposed.
"Rates, of course, are fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, but
the cost of transportation is a con-
trolling factor in making rates.
RATES are higher now than they
were before the War because trans
portation costs are higher. Every re-
duction in the cost of producing trans
portation is ultimately reflected in a
corresponding reduction in rates"

There must be considerable candy

ing loaded with 3S7,S4O candy bars

the company is one billion bars annu-

SAVE A PENNY

Save a penny. You don't know
when you may need it. This lowly
little copper, smallest of the greatest
nations coins, may pave the way to
some future success. Opportunity
knocks but once, it is said. If this
is true then we must be ready when
it arrives. One penny may not mean
much-it's but a single recruit-but
each recruit helps the army gain

belief? None at all. If ever an event
was shaped by the speeches at din
ner, or even by the resolutions there
from resulting, history does not record
what it was. So we suggest an i'm
provement on the new idea. Let din
ners be abolished as well as the
speeches. Instead of taxing delegates
$40 for the farewell orations, let them
be sent to some good show, and then
we shall have an end to all this wind.
