TWO ESSENTIALS OF SUCCESS

The farmer who has a poorly fer.
tilted and watered field, will moi
prosper even if he does work hard
So in our occupations, we need tC
see to it that the home town in
which we toll has good chance fol
development and progress. Unless
it has that chance, we shall suffer
i'll our jobs and our business enter
prises. Everyone must take hold to
do his best work, to help the COM
munity causes, and maintain the
good physical appearance of that
part of the community which he
controls.
THE FIRST WEEK in May is ap-
pointed as National Music Week."
The people never get any too much
music, and any city or town that OBJ
serves this occasion by an interest
ing program will make itself at
t1active.
Music is one of the greatest trans
forming powers of human nature.
H. will take weary and dispirited
people, and brighten them up and
make them feel that the world is a
pretty good place after all. When
you bring music into their homes,
you offer a tonic that may save a
gcod deal of depression and i'll
health.
When you interest your young
people in music, you give them an
Object in life that holds many of
steady at an age when they are in
clined to break loose in fantastic
projects. The boys and girls tearing
around the country in more or less
III desirable jaunts, can be turned
into those steady looking folks
whom you see on the streets car
rying their music to their lessons.

SOME MEN seem to think that it
would be terrible job for them to
push the lawn mower over their
grounds this summer. But if they
would reconcile themselves to this
az tivity, they would gain a physical
benefit from this exercise. Pushing
a lawn mower is just as good exer-
else as playing golf, only you can't
make people believe it. And the
men who are moving their lawns
each week become more interested
i'll their home places. They see
things they would like to do around
the place as the result of spending
time on their grounds, and they take
more interest in gardening. They
find a new source of pleasure which
costs them little and makes their
lives happier, and it adds to the at
fractions of any town, especially
M Mlford.
A NEWSPAPER is kind of power
plant, whereby constant discussion
Of local interests, enthusiasm and
energy are communicated to the
people of community.
A prosperous newspaper full of
advertising, is like power plant
with abundant machinery or water
supply back of it. 1t communicates
a lot of energy. And poorly sup
ported one is like newspaper with
a weak power plant, which can't |
carry its load. The people who sub
scribe for and advertise in their To-
cal newspaper not merely get di-
rect return for their money in the
form of news or increased business,
but they reinforce an agency that is
promoting community
development.

MANY INDUSTRIES have failed
to reach the best success, because
they did not have the right kind of
fcremen. Often these men who man
aged the operations Of a room or
group, would antagonize the workers
under them, or would not be loyal
to the firms interest, or would not
be capable of instructing the en-
Dloyes in the best modern methods.
Modern industrial managers are lay
ng much stress on the proper
raining of foremen. The fate Of a
BUSINESS often rests on them. If they
ire incompetent or Indifferent or
ross grained, the work under them {
lrags. But if they are enthusiastic
md expert, the work done under
hem is far more efficient.

THERE ARE as good chances for {

lany "yes men," who assent every
