LUCK IN GETTING RICH

One remark of the late Julius Rosenwald will De
long quoted 1t is that success is 95 per cent lack
and per cent ability" One writer says it was one
of the most felicteus things said by sue
cessful man. We don't know about that. 1t GER
tainly is contrary to teaching and established prn
ciples of business. No doubt the element of luck
has been in most successful lives. One rich man
said that money-making had no touch of genius
that ii was easy to make money when one knew
how, and required no special gift. He began al
the bottom and became a millionaire.
So the thing to do is to learn chow" to make
money. Poor Richard has given his maxims CT
thrift as foundation for accumulation, but now
the rising generation pays little no attention to
his wisdom The modern literatuSe on the subject
tells us to master business, TO study economics
and keep sharp eye the trend of trade. q.
Mr.. Rockefelers huge fortune from fore
sight and speculation in oil wells wisely made Mr.
Ford's success was the result of combining himself
| to the production of cheap cars everybody could
afford to buy, and then educating the public to
provide suitable roads for them.
There is one thing We regard as essential to
money-making, and that is saving as large a pro
portion of earnings possible for future use
With or without luck the natural money-maker will
get rich. He need not confne himself to good
the money he makes. Then it will swell his riches
by its own earning power.-The Morganton News

SLOT MACHINES

The Index-Journal is not familiar with the South
Carolina law on slot machines
The law cannot be too severe: The slot ma
chine is one product of the machine age which
can be dispensed with and society will be the
gamer .-. .
New York state has tried several measures and
q few DAYS ago Governor Lehman signed the latest
effort to put the slot machine out of business.
The new act makes it misdemeanor to "manu-
facture own store, keep, possess, SELL rent lease
let on shares, lend or give away, transport or eX-
pose for sale or lease, on offer to SELL rent lease,
let on shares, lend or give away or to permit the
operation of, or for any person to permit to be
placed maintained, used or kept in any room,
space or building owned, leased or occupied by
him or under his management CONTROL any slot
machine"
The measure bars any agreement with refer
enee to any slot machine Device" and give
very broad definition of what a slot machine is.
In another section the bill gives additional en-
forcement power to the police by declaring opera
ton of a slot machine public nuisance.
Immediately after the act had been signed
eighteen hundred slot machines seized IL

This in all probability represents nothing more
than OEer-speaking by men caught in a critical

that there is no statute emitting unionsts to use
force in dissuading non-unonists from working if
they want to.

Zion, restraint or intimidation from any source
Picketing, SO long as it be unattended by the

does, and thereby is both unlawful and contrary
to the Presidents formula for preserving equitable
industrial relations.-Charlette News.

WAR HERE ON
BLISTER RUST
IS INSPECTED
DR.. R. W. Leiby, State
Entomologist Looks Over
Accomplishments
s-@s
aaA

Hundreds Of currant and goose
berry bushes found in backyard
gardens in the towns and cities
of Henderson county are now be-
ing pulled up by inspectors of the
Federal Bureau of Plant Industry
cooperating with the North Car
Dina department of agriculture
because of the danger of a dis
ease of white pine trees becom-
ing established in the state.
1t is known as the blister rust
and is established in many of the
Atlantic seaboard states. 1t has
not found its way into North Car
DINA and the pulling up of the
bushes which must be present for
the disease to become established
is a preventative measure.
Inspecting the work being done
in this district today was DR.. r.
w. Leiby, state entomologist, who
has direction of the destruction
of wild and cultivated gooseberry
and currant bushes. DR.. Leiby
observed that the white pine is a
valuable ornamental tree and that
currant and gooseberry bushes in
the garden were generally neg
lected and regarded by their own
ers as worthless.
Wild currants growing on the
mountain sides are also destroyed
by the local crew of scouts under
the direction of Supervisor H. B.
league. Only those that are with
in 900 feet of white pine plant
ing are pulled up since the blister
rust disease does not jump from
currant bushes to white pine at
greater distance than 900 feet.
Funds for the berry eradication
work came from the NRA, said
DR.. Leiby. A total of two million
dollars is allotted for the work in
the United States. North Caro-
lina's share is approximately $780,
900.
The mountain section growing
white pine has been divided into
six districts and the southern tier
of counties of the state from Hen
derson west constitute the district
supervised by Mr.. league and
crew of three scouts.
"The public seems to appreei-
ate the idea of preventing our
white pine from being destroyed
by disease like the blight that
took our chestnut trees" COM
mented DR.. Leiby,. "and we are
enjoying their full cooperation"
Headquarters for the blister
rust prevention work are in Ashe-
vile with j. A. Ferree as state
leader. DR.. Leiby supervises the
work from his office in the de-
part of agriculture in Raleigh.

1t may very we'll be, Mr.. Paul Mallon suc-

growing uneasiness in Washington over the situa-

by any development there which might have made
intervention inevitable.
At all events are we'll rid of a contractural
relationship which had become increasingly trou-
blesome and potentially more dangerous to US. The
people of this country have only good feeling for
the people of Cuba but they would have been most
resentful of the necessity of taking charge of af-
fairs there. The, task was one which we could
scarcely have fulfilled to any ones satisfaction
Why there should now be anti-American out

the new treaty has been adopted is not clear.
