NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-(F1-Th


NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-(P)-The
cotton market opened steady at an
advance of 5 points to a decline of
2 points and showed net gains Of 5
to 10 points after the opening. All
months made new high grounds for
the movement on further covering
and buying promoted by relatively
firm Liverpool cables and the local
firmness Of yesterday
Talk of possible shipments from
the local stock was reflected by the
relatively firm ruling of near
months, but the advance to 1877 for
May and 1856 for October attracted
considerable realizing. This caused
reactions to above yesterdays clos
ing quotations, but the market was
fairly steady at the end Of the first
hour.
Futures closed steady, 10 points
higher to 6 lower. Spot steady;
middling 1905.

Getting by
NOtEnOMgh
to GOHgh
BY MARTHA LEE

One of the poorest standards for
conduct and achievement is the
Just = as good = aS-Some- one- elSe"
measure.
MY work is just as good as Mary
Browns, yet she is promoted and
never am" complains a Stenog-
rapher. I'm just as good as Mrs
Jones'" poutS Mrs. Smith, who goes
in for club life, yet they make her
president and don't even mention
mel" Most of us get in the habit
of comparing what we do with what
somebody else does.
Since we really can not determine
the possibilities of any one but our
selves, our standards thus become
false and misleading. We gradu-
ally stop trying to do the very best
we can and fall into the habit OF
doing just enough with which to
"get by"
Yet those who are markedly sue
ceSsful in any line are those who
have kept their own standards of
excellence, instead of accepting
those of others. They don't just
try to "suit the bosS"-that's not
their entire goal. They try to satisfy
their own judgment and sense of
what is right. Some folks may be
surprised when such workers go
ahead like a house on fire." but
success is rarely an accident.
Here is a letter from a girl who
has evidently been so engaged in
watching the progress of others that
she has failed to get a proper per-
spective on her own.
Dear Martha Lee-I thought maybe
that by reading so many letters, you
could tell me what is the reason do not
seem to have justice shown me. 1 have
been in the business world for ten years
and I know that I should be away ahead
OF where I am. There are others in my
office who do not know nearly as much
as do Il am not throwing bouquets at
myself. but it is true)
do Just as good work and yet have
had had three instances right here in the
| last year and a half which make me good
and mad, as I am every bit as capable as
they are and yet they get promoted. The
last one happened lately and she thinks
she is pretty smart. I don't.
MABEL A.
1t is possible, Mabel, that you may
be suffering from some injustice, as
you seem to think, but it is positive
that your frame of mind is keeping
you out of much good. You seem
to think that the others who have
ben promoted did not deserve their
advance. This does not seem likely.
If you are consumed with envy
and resentment, this will indicate
itself to others and the atmosphere
of your own thinking will act as a
stumbling block. Now forget about
what the others may be doing and
begin to set and reach a higher
standard of work for yourself. And,
Mabel, be cordial and pleasant while
you are doing it.
