Four Essentials of Boy's Success A r e

Health, Honesty, "-Education, Work

By L W . BEATTY, K- C , Pieadeai Caaediea Peri&c Railway

A man from his t-houlders down is worth $2.50

a day; but from his shoutdera up there is no limit to

his earning rapacity. I never saw a boy or man who

p t anywhere if he did not work. As a boy grows

.ier he will find the competition between men very

keen, and he who is fairly well educated has a distinct

advantage over the man who is not.

Every boy haa some kind of a vague idea that ho

would like t o be something or other when he grows up,

but ho docs not know just what He will find, how

ever, that there are three or four simple things thot

tend t o a man's success. The first ia good health. I t is impossible for a

boy or man to work against the handicap of poor health. The next thing

is honesty. No man in thia or any other country who was not honest

attained success. He may a p p m to do this for a time, but when his dis-

honesty is discovered—which it will be sooner or later—his success is at

an end nnd his foiluro begins. The third essential is education; without

education it is impossible to climb to any important position. The fourth

essential is work. Nothing was ever accomplished without work, and if

any man tella you diflferently it ia not the truth. During the coming

years many capable men will be required to fill important poiltions, and

he who has the essentials to which 1 have referred is the one who will get

the preference.

The things wo admire most in other men are the qualities we should

develop in ourselves. Tho first ia honesty, the second courage, nnd the

third modesty. Without courage one cannot go very far in this world.

War Has Made the Woman Problem More

Complex and Her Lot More Hard

, By PROF. H . J . DAVENPORT, Coraafl Uahpeofty

The effect of war-debt taxes will be to mako living conditions for the

laboring masses of Europe leflsj tolerable. These conditions must tend

to promote emigration from Europe to the countries of relatively lew

unpromising conditions—to the United States, for instance, where tho

war burdens will bo comparatively light 'One aspect of the posl-war

problem w most serious and most tragic. Europe, and measurably also

America, has Wore it the series of problems that must attend a surplus

•of marriageable women over marriageable men. Society never runs safely

or wholesomely on this basir. What must Europe immediately do with

its millions of girls maturing into war spinster*?

Surely they will have lo work. And certainly there will be need for

their work. But it will be work uufler the strow of a new aud dire news-

pity—not' merely for self-mabrtenanw! but to help pay taxes for a war

delit and to support tho war invalids-work under even worse conditionn

than ever hnmelegg, self-dependent, unmated, childless and bopeJe«-

womtn hava earlier known. Emigration will therefore especially appeal

to the women. Europe, no matter how rigorous in holding its men, wiT,

let its surplus women go: possibly it may asaist them to go.

But in many parta of America the women somewhat outnumbered

the men even before the war. How, tlien, ehall America wd about it to

make room for tlie new womea immigrants? E v a those of oar women

that found and accepted woA duriug the stress of war are now being

discharged—o personal injustice and an institutional perversity past all

belief. Inevitably the war has added new aspects lo tlie woman problem, not

merely becausc of the n»n that are dead, the home fires that will not be

lighted, the children that wHl not be born, but abw because of the mil-

lions of women that, spinster-doomed, must now enter the struggle for

a sepnrote maintenance. But it is not entirely inevitable—in some part

i t ih merely stupid and c rue l - tha t thia struggle tl»e women now have ia

face in a world thot has never more Hum grudgingly and partially shared

its opportunities with them, and that now, debtrridden, has oUly meager

oppurtuHitieo to share. •

will be attracted to the farm, for the reason that the activities of the city

are measured by the productive power of these farms.

We must not forget that agriculture calls for our best thought and

our best effort. We must remember that farming is the biggest, the most

important job on earth, because every other man's job depends upon the

job of the farmer. If the farmer quite tho merchant will have to quit,

the manufacturer will have to quit, the railroad man will have to quit,

the laboring man will have to quit. The whole machinery of human

endeavor and human government will cease—even life itself. The most

important thing on earth is a human being; the next most important

thing if that whic)i makes it possible for that human being to exist—the

production of food.

Two great armies won the w a r - t h o army that served on the battle-

field and the army that served in tho harvest field. The latter army was

mobilized within twenty-four hours after the declaration of war., As it

was the first army to rally to the defense of the flag, so it will be the

last army to cease fighting for world freedom. While the army of the

battlefield is being demobilised the army of the farm is facing the tre-

mendous task of furnishing 60 per cent of tho world's food during the

coming years.

Senator William H. King of Utah—Those persons who have care-

fully studied the question of water transportation in the United States

and the manner of improving our rivers and harbors have with practical

unanimity condemned the policy of our government. After spending

nearly $1,000,000,000 for such improvements it can be truthfully asserted

that the commerce of the inland streams is less than it wos many years

ago,. I t is timo we adopted a scientific aud national system in dealing

with tbe problem of water transportation.

What School?

Do your children attend the rur-

al or the village schools? If they do, Arthur D. Cromwell in his

book, "Agriculture and Life" has a message for you. He says: "We need better County Com-missioners. We need men and women who understand the rur-al life problem. We need Coun-ty Commissioners who are alert to make the rural schools serve rural people. But we have had

quite enough of the County Commissioners from the city schools who are city-minded and who would make of the country schools poor imitations of the poorest city schools. Farmers must be taught to demand County Commissioners who are rural minded, who love the country and who love to serve country people be-cause they are one with them."

then Wisconsin will get the business.

FINANCING VICTORY LOAN WILL HELP INDUSTRY

Must Distributed Among All the People—Ivery American's Savings

Needed te Keep Wheels Turning.

Jul ius Rosenwald. president of

Sears, Roebuck h Co.. and a dollar a year government employee, s ta led re-cently tha t Germany surrendered, not

so much because she waa beaten a s because her mili tary chiefs saw the

Impending whirlwind of American men. munitions, a i rplanes , food and supplies, which they k n r w meant an-

nihilation In tha not d i s i sn t fu tu re for

the German armies.

"The Victory loon—It should be

called the ThanksglvinK loan—which pays a pa r t of the bill for that prep-aration that saved the llvee of hun-dreds of thousands of American boys, can in no wise be weighed against the destruction of l ife which our prepars-

tions aver ted," Mr. Rosenwald pointed

ont.

"The loan must be financed before Industry can go ahead . Proper financ-

ing of the loan means thn t It must be distr ibuted among all the people, means tha t the savings of every Amer-ican muat be loaned to his government. Unless auch wide distr ibution Is ef-fected—and It can only be effected with tha aasls tance of the great or-ganixations which have been buil t up during the past dr ives—the financial houses will have to abaorb the loan.

Such a re iu l t would be disas t rous to the builnt-ss world, for funds needed In t rade reconstruct ion would have to be wi thdrawn from circulation and In-tereat r a t e s would mount so high thai pr ivate concerns would find it almost Impossible to borrow fo r their neces-sltlea.

"1 bespeak the co-opemtlon of ev-eryone who lent old to the govern-ment lo the past drives. I am fully convinced that the American people will respond as readi ly lo this appeal for funds a s they have to the patit. I am sure tha t salesmen and organizers who during the las t drive found so ready a reaponse tha t they sold nearly $7,000,000,000 worth of government ee-curitlea will find an even more pleas-ant reception when they seek subscrip-tions to the Victory loan," Mr. Rosen wald concluded.

HELP "FINISH T H I JOB."

In the last f ew hours of the war our soldiers fought the hardes t . We can not qui t these boys now. Back them op by supporting the Victory Liberty Loan.

WHY DO T H E Y T R Y TO H I D E fts real Intent under an taoooest sounding title and hide its meaning agata by a tricky uae of words Why?

T H E I R ONLY C H A N C E to get the salooa back is to make you think they srant some-thing else For they know you want oo more of tbe saloon.

Give Tarnopol to Redi. U n d o n . March 24.—The Chronicle's

Copenhagen correspondent says that, according tn a Berlin message to the Poiltlken. the Huncnrian crisis may aff.K-t the whole of Europe. The new government Is snld to hnve admitted the Russian Red army Into Tarnopol, nenr the Oallclan f ron t i e r

The Berlin correspondent of the Co-pc'ilmgen Osketldende says the deci-sion for the revolution was taken Frl-doj nfternoon. when the Hungarinn government learned the French, Ron manlan and Czech troops were to o c cupy pnrts of lUmgary In order to stem bolshevism.

According to one story the plans were completed by Russian agents, wlic were In Budnpest ostensibly nn members of Ihe Russian Red Cross, bu : who were acting under orders from ftljKOW,

Lenlne the Real Ruler. Tlie new socialist and communist

rulers lind the machinery of the soviet government ready, but they only nominally will run the machine, the director being Lenlne.

According to the correspondent quoted. It Is rumored a number of Cz'-ch regiments in the north of Hun-gnTr mutlned and It is feared the ne«s of what happened in Hungary wl'l have an Inflammatory effect in the Czech state, where bolshevism has raided Its head more boldly than In any other country outside of Russia.

The correspondent concludes the message rather ominously. In Vienna, he says, these events are followed with extreme tension. The populace there has shown great patience under great sufferings, but even tbe greatest patience can give way.

y t r y Old Easter Custom. Did you know that Baster eggs were

eotep by children thousands of yeniji ago during their t p r lng feativol? Yes, long before onr Eas te r was a holy day ; and their eggs were dyed just as yours a r e now. Today, f a r away In Cent ra l .

In England, lu medieval times, Eas-U r eggs were bleaaed by the pr ie i t be-

fore they were eaten by the people, and you can see the Importance they placed on eggs by the following bless-ing which was anthorhwd by Pope Paul V:

"Bless, Lord, we beseech thee, thia thy creature of eggs, that it may be-come a wholesome sustenance to l l y fa i thful sen-ants, eating it in thankful-ness to thee, on account of the resur-rection of our Lord."

The uae of the egg at all apring fes-tivals la much older than Chrl> t l ao l t / .

Chicago, March 22.—The even tenor of Ihe speech of Secretary of the Treasury (llass liefore LMO Liberty Loan workers at Ihe Hotel U Salle here was Interrupted by some one a t the speaker's table, who called o u t :

"Make It flve per cent!" The secretary dropped the manu-

script from which he was carefully reading snd msde vigorous reply:

"There Is a gentlemsn present who thinks the loan would be more attrac-tive at flve per cent. I want to say to you that the loan looka at tract ive to me regardless of the rate of i n t e r est.

"Our honor is pledged to preserve what has been won by those boys of ours over there. The honor of the nstion, wlilch is our honor, is at stake, and I would give every dollar I have and every dollar I ever expect to make before I would dishonor tlie memory of those men. F i r e per cent interest does not concern me."

But the secretary was snswered when he had cloaed bis speech. The chslrman c a l M upon Abner Larned of Michigan who confessed to being "In n \ w a y " a Detroit banker, but said that principally he la a manu-facturer of overalls.

"There are two tnings we beg of you, Mr. Secretary,"-said he. "First, that the treaty of peace be signed as quickly aa possible; and second, that the rate of interest on this bond Issue be made so at tract ive that we can put It over In reconl time.

"It is your duty and privilege, sir, to flx the rate, end I will not now suggest what I think it ought to be. But I do want to remind you. sir, that whatever be the rate. It will be paid to the 20.000,000 bond buyers we have developed In this country, and 1 for one will not begrudge it to them."

t Tho audience leaped to Its 1,000 pairs of feet and cheered and yelled approval.

This scene was the sequel lo a con-femce earlier in the day. when flve of tbe l i b e r t y loan leaders met the secretary and argued with him for a rate of flve per cent on the fifth, or "Victory Loan." He did not say what he would do, but he gave the com-mittee tbe Impression that the rate would be lower.

Secretary Oiass promised that this would be the isst loan on the war account and the Liberty loan organiza-tion would pass out of existence when It Is "put over."

At noon Mr. Glass was a luncheon guest of the Chicago Press d u b , where he addresaed editors and publishers of local newspapers and trade journals and met financiers and business men.

"I am told In a rather disconcerting way by men of steady judgment and tested patriotism that we must ap-proach the problem of fu ture loans In n distinctly cold-blooded mood." snld Mr. Glass In bis evening address ; "that things hnve assumed a different phase; our a t t i tude of mind and heart Is a l tered; we must consider the mat-ter strictly from an Investment point of view, nnd put the loan on a com-mercial basis.

"Some men tell me It will be Im-possible again to appeal to the pa-triotism of the American people. Frankly, gentlemen, I should despair of my country If these things were exactly true.

"What is meant by the 'sacrifices' of war for America T Where are our devastated fields and ruined cities? Where our cathedrals destroyed and homes profaned? Where onr flooded mines and pillaged factories? Where our lost t reasures and purloined works of a r t ? Where our defiled wom-en and starved children and wrecked men? 1

"France and Britain loat millions of men killed and millions of others wounded. I-ess than 00,000 American heroes sleep beneath the sod of France. These men made the supreme sacrifice. Should we dishonor their memories or dlmi'ulsh tbe glory of their service by pausing In tbe cheer-ful performance of an Imperative duty?

"We call this last the Victory Lib-erty loan. I t Is that and more. I t Is a Thanksgiving loan.

A conventida of the war loan organ-latlon of the Seventh Federal Reserve district was held a t Hotel Ln Salle with representatives from Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and Iowa

Paris, March 22.—The Jtallan dele-gation to Ihe peace conference has unanimously decided to withdraw (mra the peace conference unless Flume is assigned lo Italy contemporaneously with Ihe conclusion of peace.

The decision of t he Italian delega-tion. as reported from Parts, sppnrent-ly brings to a bead tho bi t ter contro-versy between Italy nnd the new Jugo-slav state over the disposition of land along ihe Adrinllc, formerly belonging to the Austro-Hungnrian empire, which both nntlonalllles claim.

Italy's claims originally Included vir-tually Iho entire Dalmatian coasL with Trieste ond Flume, which la t ter d t y is the second principal seaport on the eastern side of Iho Adriatic. Recent reports have been that the Italian representsllves were manifest-ing n disposition to mske Imporlnnt concessions regardlnc the Innd along tho Dalmatian coast, provided the city and harbor 3f Flume remained to Italy.

The Jugo-Slavs, however, have been Inslatenl thai this rfort be allotted to them, claiming It lo be essentially a Crontlnn city nnd necessnry to t he new Jugo-Slav a is le s s sffordlng the uiily fcuibte. iuiUolfi sra outlet for her commerce.

On Ihe other hsnd. there h a s been no dl spool lion on the pa r t of II sly to yield her point so f a r ns Flume was concerned Her a t t i tude wns offidally stated by Premier Orlando in a d d r e s s ing the Italian chamber of deputies March 1 when he deda red tha t while Italy remained "fai thful t o Ibe spirit of conciliation which inspired the treaty upon which Italy entered Ihe war," tbs t did not mean that she could "remain Insensible to the appeal reaching her from tbe Italian town on the Gulf of Quarnero (Flume)." which was "exposed to the loss of both Its nationality and Independence."

"We do not think," a d d e d ' I h e pre-mier. " that this Is possible nt tbe very moment when It is wished that Ihe world may be redeemed from n mem-ory of violence done to the rights of peoples."

COMB SAQE TEA IN HAIR TO DARKEN IT

New Messi^e Designed to Rapisos

Railroad Commlaslon With the

New Utiiltisa Body.

By Wllllsm Lee Cslnon.

Lansing, Mich.

Legislstion affecting public utilities has come to tho t o n again among tbe s ta te ' s Iswmskers. Hsif a dozen bills and a coupio of proposed smeodments to the constitution are hanging in the balance and il would be an excellent guesser who could tell s t this stage whst is sp t to be done.

The aui l l ies companies sppear to be a unit against taws that will give con-trol over their rates and aorvice into the handa ot the varioua cities and counties. They declare that they will be sallsfled with a centralized con-trol, exercised through the atale rail-road commission or any other similar body.

Thus the Issue is drawn between tbe bill proposing tbs t the legislsture established a new state body to re-place the railroad commission and to be known s s tbe Michigsn public utili-ties commission, and the various bills giving cltlos and counlies control ovor rates and service. It Is expected that a fight will continue lo the final days of the session on Ihe measure design-ed to supplant the railroad commis-sion with the now utllltlos body. The d t i e s have taken up tho cudgels against the new commission idea on t he ground that it proposed powora will be so broad that ail home rule principles will go into the discard.

Oddly enough the first utilities bill to get Into the open meotlngs of tho senate or house Is one which cuts in between the bulk of those over which the general argument ta being waged. It is the Aldrlch bill to give the rail-road commission the same control over gas companies that It possesses ovor electric lighting companies. When this bill came out In the bouse the gas companies began to clamor for a public hearing on it before it pro-gressed any further, but the probabili-ties are they will have to wait until it goes to the senate before a hear-ing can be bad, for the house passed It In a committee of the whole session, n n d l l n g 11 along to third reading and final passage.

The house has also sent on to the order of final passage the senate bill which would permit any one absent from home because of business on election day to vote an absent voter 's balloL Another measure of wide-spread effect that tho house has acted upon favorably Is designed lo prevent supervisors from receiving any offl da l appointment that lies in the gift of a board of supervisors.

W b t n Y o o r Eyes Need C m

Senstor Wstkins h s s introduced bill to t s k s tbe gamo department away from tho public domain commis-sion, to which it was transferred by the 19IS legislsture. The Wstkins bill would combine the gsine depart ment and the state fish commleiilon Into one body of three members, who would n r v e twelve-year terms and be appointed by the governor. This

state game and fish commission would name a stata game warden to serve sn indeflnite term at 15,000 year. Deputies of sufllcient number would assist him in the performsnce of bis duties. Another bill by Sons tor Watklns would give the public do-main commission control over forest flre prevention, with n chief lire war-den to look af ter the work.

Still another state commission sought In a bill Introduced in the h o u n by Rep. Young. It would create an industrial relations commission of seven members, to h s appointed by the governor, to make a s tate survey of industrial conditions, especially as to unemployment, housing, safely and health of workers, stabilizing of em-ployment, labor of women and chil-dren, vocational education and tbe general promotion of Industrial wel-fare. Tho cooperation of the stste Isbor depsrtment with the new com-mission Is requested in Ihe bill snd |10,000 appropriated for the commis-sion's expenses.

Parnwr members backed np labor msmbera In the bottse of representa-dves in the flnsi p s s u g e of the amendments to the workmen's com-pennt ion bill aod lo a bill to prohibit f a i n advertising to get workmen to plsnts where s tr ikes or lockouts s r e in progress. The result is more good feel-ing than hss prevailed in legislative circles in some yesrs.

Rep. Evsns, chairman of the house committee on agriculture, took the floor when the compensation bill came up for flnal action. It increases com-pensation of injured workmen from 50 lo M per cent and raises the mini-mum and maximum weekly payments from t5 to | 7 and )10 to |14, as well M giving more medical and hospital attention. D e f u t of the 8-hour day bill, largely oa ccnstitutional grounds, rankled with some of the labor mem-bers, snd Rep. Evsns declsred he bad only friendly feelings towards every measure which would better condi-tions for industrial workers. He praised the work that had been done for the worklngmen's cause by Rep. Csri Young, Rap. John Holland and Rep. Fred Kappler and asked for a unanimous vote of tbe house on the compensation bill. This wss given, «? to 0, the u m e ro te by which the fsise sdvertising bill also was adopted.

Rep. Carl Young, who Is president of the Michigan Federation of Labor, eipressod hla heartfel t gratitude for the vote and declared be could express tbe same sentiment for all Michigan workers as they had felt real grief two years ago when the same bill met d e f n t In t he senate.

The house, after o n n defeating the bill to give the slate labor commis-sioner a four-year term, turned around and passed the bill. The winning ar-gument for it was that this is the only big s U t e dopartment lef t on a two year basis. Another labor bill adopted by the house gives the state Inspector of mines | l ,200 a year n i a r j ustead of a per diem of |4 .

Both the sonate and the house on tho same nfternoon got into the worst parliamentary tangles of the present session over bills on which big lights were waging. Personal feeling ran high in each house. The senators got so angry that they almost locked them-selves up from 6 o'clock id the even-ing until 2 the next afternoon, defea t of a motion to adjourn on a tie vote being ail that saved them. A call of the senate, which causes the doors to be locked snd no one siiowed to leave, was on s t the time, but overlooked when the adjournment motion was put. Had the motion passed tho sena-tors would have had to spend the night at their desks and wait unti! the reg-ular meeting time the next day, 2 o'clock, to get a chance to vote them-selves outdoors.

The fight was over the Baker bill to supplant the primary election c o r rupt practices act with tho Oregon plan of having candidates for office a t lowed to advertise only in a booklet gotten out by tho secretary of state and dlBtributed to every voter. Sen-ator Condon declared that the War-ner bill in the house is a much better measure than Baker 's plan and moved to refer the Baker bill back to com-mittee. Baker opposed this and af ter several tie votes moved a call of tho senate. This was adopted and two missing senators were n u t for. Ser geants could not find them and the argument kept up. The senate voted in straight order not to adjourn, not to lift the call of the senate, not to proceed to business under the n i l and not to take a recess. As this got them nowhere they flnally dispensed with the call and on a 14 to IS vote sent the Baker bi'l back to committee, where it is apt to remain for some

time.

Alliance With the Russlsn Soviets

Offers Essy Condltlone of Ob-taining Food From Europe.

Berlin, Mnrch 25.—Doctor Schroed-er, fnr yeara one of Hamburg's lesd-Ing Jurists snd several times a million-nire. Is the leader and orlglnntor of tho Hamburg strike aguliiNt sending ships to fetch food.

Schroeder, one Lsffenberg, and a Germnn-Russlsn bolshevist named Stern, havo organized nnd financed tho Spartacan movement in Hamburg since November 10.

The Seamen's union, which Is op-posing the sailing, consists largely of unemployed, who hnve no connection with the sea except In name.

The object of the Spartacans nnd their allies Is to prevent food coming to Germany at nil costs, as experience h s s shown that bolshevism has li t t le chance among the Germans as soon as fu ts nnd olher foods nrrlve.

An illuslrntlon of this was provided tn Danzig, when the first American supplies were distributed. Spartacan outbreaks had been a r r anged Tho report of the secret police showed many thousands of adherents. The dny before the Intended oulbresk tho American commission nrrangMl hur-riedly to Issue foodstuffs from sup-plies already landed.

No outbreaks occurred. The next dny reports of coufldenllal agents showed Ihe number of would-be strikers would b« irduccd to less thsn one-fifth the original number.

Tho Hamburg propaganda, especial-ly that of Stern, urges that it mnkes no difference to Germany whether sho fuifiiis her agreements with the en-tente or not, ns an alllnnce with sov-iet Russia offers easy conditions nnd chances of obtaining food from west-ern Europe by force without pay-ment.

Schroeder ' i propaganda consists mostly of attacks on Ihe entente "enp-italiion." He has several times de-clared bis adherents would resort to sabotage to prevent the sailing uf the aiiips.

Washington, March 25.—Sinco tho American troops overseas havo stopped fighting, they hsve tsken to letter writing and remembering fr iends nt home with souvenirs from the battlefields in France. This wns i n d i n t e d by a post office department announcement that the amonnt of mail from the American expeditionary force had increased more thnn 20 per cent since cessation of hostilities. T h e volume of souvenirs sent back to the United States by parcels post may be measured by the ton, Ihe department asserted, and they consist of all man ner of odds and ends.
