Ever notice how he just foolishly looks around himself, bites his bit —and absolutely refuses to go ahead or to be driven? He is a fit representative of thousands of human beings—and with but a fraction of their sense! Oue of tlie greatest sources of inspiration in tills world is a human being who doesn’t bite his bit or hold back. You, whose brain has evolved a great organization—you know the joy that springs up out of the consciousness tluit those who work under your direction, not only take the bit in tiieir teeth, but go ahead and pull the load. Also, you know the tremendousHess of worry and weigh, that results from trying to pull an organization tn holdbackers. The cheerful, smiling puller is the fellow that delivers the goods. if you can’t pull and If you can’t push, then for the sake of yoursef and for the sake of the organization in which you find yourself, get out of the way and let the willing winners have their way. No man ever held back in any enterprise or crowd or business without first becoming a holdbacker against himself. If people look upon you as a ho’.lbacker. begin this minute within you.’- . self to change "the map.” Get in place. Do your share. Pull with the rest. You will have no idea —until then —of what a fool you were as a holdbacker. You will become the ‘■cornerstone” of efficiency.-—Ccorfb Mathew Adams. Mayor Shank of Indianapolis h.--promised to resign unless he is able to aettle the teamsters’ strike today The merchants of the city have demanded it and they seem to haw something on tile man of potato fame. The general impression over the state I is that Shank has been a Joke as mayor, but as he lias but a month long.'.' to serve it seems they ought to b able to stomach him that much long' r after having existed three years and I eleven months. wOri CALENDAR FOR WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 29.
