BARTON
/ Se:f4 n

A certain manufacturer. whose
products already covered the neld,
announced his intention of still an
other item to the line. His banker
was skeptical. What is there
for it?" he demanded. docs 1t meet
any real need? Has 1t any special
qualities that make it deserve to
succeed?"
The manufacturer replied rather
testify that he could not see what
deserving had to do with 1t. There
was an opportunity to get more bus
mess from a competition. and he
proposed to do so.
The banker protested. THAT
seems a poor foundation on which
to build" he said. He was right.
After an expensive and unsuccessful
campaign the new project was aban-
doned.
Another company, whose volume
had grown rapidly during the
months OF prosperity. came into dull
times and began to examine its ex-
penses. 1t discovered that nearly
half its overhead could BIT cut with
out reducing profits. While things
were rolling 1t had entirely neglect
ed elimination.
The words apply with equal force
to individual lives. How many use
less habits we loaded in good times.
Apparently hard times are neces-
sary once in awhile to compel us
to eliminate.
AS for the word deserve, who has
not experienced the increased sense
of power which comes when one
knows in his heart that his plans
and purposes are wholly right? I'm
der the spell Of such conviction we
astonish ourselves by an unexpected
capacity. We feel In tune with infn-
lite forces. We deserve, and the stars
in their courses seem to be fighting
on Jul side.

THERE ARE NO
LITTLE THINGS

"One day l summoned up courage
to ask the head of our firm how he
ever happened to make me an offer
TO join his firm on so short an &C
quaintanceship." a very successful
lawyer told me.
His answer IA surprising. He
said that for years he had been able
to secure more business than he
could primarily handle. AS a busin-
ess getter he was a star; as an or
g~anizer of an efficient force he was
a failure. He had hired brilliant
young chaps out of law school. but
somehow they new developed as
he hoped. Being brilliant. they ex-
pected to get results easily, and II
they were whipped a couple of times
In court it broke their spirit.
"One night he went home and
sat down before the fire to analyze
his situation. He decided to look
for an entirely different type OF
man; he listed the qualifications:
Il. The man must not be too
smart. He must have the habit OF
working hard for his results.
20. He must have been in college
athletics. trained to fight for vic
tory, and to keep up his chin in de-
feat.
Having made this list, the law
yer asked his friends to recommend
men who met the qualifications. One
OF them named me.
S you see." my friend conclud-
ed. lit was that one little thing, to
which | never attached the slightest
Importance, that made my whole
career"
When you hear stories like this,
and have heard many of them. il
makes you think that there are nc
little things. No operation is so in
significant that nan can refuse tc
give 1t less than his best.

WITH OTHER EDITORS


Almost unnoticed in the loud clamor for more
revenue to support local units of government. Sheri-
dan county this year undertook to put their county
business on a simpler basis. That county now has
nine elective officers instead of the usual 10 for
counties of its class.
On March l when the treasurer's term expired
the new system went into full operation. The county
clerk and recorder now has taken over the duties of
the assessor and the treasurer. The sheriff has taken
over the duties of the surveyor and the coroner has
the duties of the public administrator also.
Taking advantage of the permissive state law
the county instituted the new consolidation with the
recent general election and the combination of offices
which began Jan. l was compelled March 1. The SIM
plihcation of county administration, which has long
been agitated and which appeals to us a common
sense plan. has been opposed fercely by many people
for various reasons in the counties where it has been
agitated. The old archaic county setup has been in
need of reform for decades but has been a most diff
fcult one to change. 1t is interesting to note the step
taken by Sheridan county and their experience will
be followed with close attention, we hope, by other
counties in the state.
Complete reorganization of the county admins
tration under the county manager plan. we believe
will come in time. But the very practical step of i'm
proving the service to the citizens and reducing the
overhead by combining various offices in the counties
in keeping with their volume of business is a great
step in advance. 1t is to the credit of the people of
Sheridan county that they have disregarded old pol
itical viewpoints and have made an attempt to treat
their county affairs on a business basis.
1t was unfortunate we believe that the legisla-
ture did not give the counties the opportunity to re-
duce the waste and efficiency in school affairs also by
passing a general redistricting law. The house passed
such a measure but the senate failed to accept the
plan to which schoolmen quite generally had given
their support. 1t. too, would have given opportunity
for a great improvement in local government The

Exploiting a New Field

The INSCRIPTIONS would turn even the social
security program. whose plan is to relieve present
and future needy. into an instrument for exploiting
those whom it is designed to help. we are informed
by the social security board. Warning has been is
sued of two schemes for taking advantage OF the
poorly informed in the name of the social security
act.
The first scheme mentioned probably Is not prac-
ticed in agricultural areas such as northeastern Mon
tana because it is suited more to industrial plants
with large payrolls. In some such places. employers
seeking advantag es over the more ignorant OF their
employees have circulated missionaries claiming
that the information asked was required by the social
security board. Employers have in this way secured
from laboring people information that could be used
against them in their effort to seek higher pay and
better working conditions. information gained under
false pretenses because the only facts an employee is
required to give are those asked on the card on which
he applies for a social security account number.
Another exploitation scheme is the offering of
training courses which prepare you for social secur-
ity jobs in ~self-styled social security correspond
ence schools Such courses are being sold by mail
and personal solicitation. in some cases by statesmen
posing as government representatives.
Warning against such proposals, the social Sc
curity board states that its permanent organization
is now well established and few additional employees
will be needed in the future. All positions, too. are
filled by drawing from the lists of the civil service
and any who desires jobs with the agency must first
pass civil service examinations.
Those who offer social security training courses,
then, with the direct or implied promise that they
will automatically lead to government employment
are ~deluding their prospects or else they do not know
the qualifications necessary for appointment, and it is
hard to conceive that they wouldn't know that.
Study under one of these schools, Of course,
might help a job seeker by giving information that
will help pass civil service examinations, but it can
not lead directly to federal appointment. The best
rule is to be suspicious of any glib sales talk that Of
fers to lead the prospect straight to the green pas
lures of government jobs.

Workers To Get Under

Raleigh, Nov. 11-Unemplovment
compensation, or benefits, are to be
paid to eligible unemployed workers
on and after January 1, of next year
under ruling of Attorney General
A. A. F. Seawell. The opinion was
asked by the N. C.. Unemployment
Compensation Commission because
one section of the act seemed to in
dictate payments could not start until
April /. The intent of the law, as
Mr.. Seawell pointed out, was that
payments should start after January
/.
PAYMENTS cannot start, however, I'M
til after the third week in January.
The act requires a waiting period of
two weeks, after the worker has re-
ported to his local employment office
that he is out of work. He must con-
tinue to report weekly. If he is still
unemployed for the full third week
then a check is written for him IN

employment office. He applies to that

the report to come to Raleigh, the
check to be written and get back to
the local employment office.
However, if the unemployed worker
is placed in job by the employment
service after unemployment benefits
start, then the last check would be
received several days after he returns
to work.
The Unemployment Compensation
Division in Raleigh is working day
and night posting the wage records
of the individual workers from the
wage reports made quarterly by the
EMPLOYERS. Three shifts are at work
for eight hours each in posting these
wage reports for the first quarter, the
second quarter and then for the third
quarter, in an effort to get them all
posted and up-to-date by the end OF
the year, and ready for paying bene-
fits soon after the first of the year.
1--WE are urging employers Liable
under the act to make their monthly
contribution reports and their quar-
terly wage reports promptly, so we
will have the proper records on which
to tase unemployed benefits and pay
them promptly to workers who be-
come unemployed and are otherwise
eligible for the payments" said CHAIR
man Charles G. Powell, of the com
mission.

The heaviest iarln crop y'eldS 20 TOT

said E. C. Blair, extension agronomist
at State Coll,:-e.
Keeping production cost down is as
important as increasing crop yields
he continued.
Backing up this statement, lie
pointed t.. results Sc; rcd in corr
growing contest held this year i'll
Mitchell county under the direction
of farm agent -. Lynn.
One of the farmers, J. H. Davis. pro-
duced a yield of 1919 bushels of corn
on an acre of lard.
At 81 bushel, the corn was valued
at S121.9O Production costs amount
ed to $47.6O, leaving profit of $3.50
Another of the contestants, Bill
Conlev. di.' not get rs zig yield, bat
his proc lists were lower and
in the end he made a bigger Erofit
than Davis.
Conley produced 1886 bushels On
his measured acre With his p1oduc-
ton costs flglrsd at S25.22. his pratt
was $S2.88.
In the contest, farmers counted re
cost of seed, fertilizer, nitrate OF
soda, manure, and the labor required
to produce the crop.
Blair added a comment that one OF
the main detectives of the agricultural
conservation program is to encourage
farmers to build up their soil SO that
it will produce more crops at less cost.
Fertile land not only Keeps produc-
ton costs down and makes higher
profits possible, he continued, it also
means that less work is needed to
produce a crop.
