Business Instinct

ONE day a crippled lad wandered into a country store and thus accosted the proprietor: “Can I sell you some lead pencils today? I have some nice ones at 25 cents a dozen.” The merchant sold pencils himself, and was therefore not a likely purchaser, but as business was not particularly rushing at that moment he indulged in a little good-natured chaff at the boy’s expense. Ife examined the pencils carelessly and asked in feigued amazement, “What, 25 cents a dozen for these? I have a better pencil in stock that I sell for 15 cents a dozen,” and he reached over to the show case and pulled out a package of pencils for which he had actually paid 45 cents a dozen only a few days before. The boy took them in hand, examined them critically, reached down into his pocket, passed 15 cents over so the proprietor with the remark, ‘1 guess I’ll take these,” and calmly walked out of the store. Xor did the merchant stop him and explain that it was a joke. It was done in such a businesslike way and the youngster had taken it so seriously that he won the other’s admiration and the merchant adfiiitted in telling the story oh himself that it was the best case of business instinct he had seen for many a day. . Ihe crippled boy had a quality in his makeup that meant success, ibis attribute was keen judgment or business acumen. He so quickly recognized the value of the pencils that he acted in his own interest at

Plan for Starting Honest Men on Farms

By WILLIAM EISEN, Chicago

The extremely poor man who longs for the country, who would joyfully till'the soil, has to take a back seat. He has not the means to travel the distances or to acquire the first requisites. 1 myself -bought, years ago, ten acres in the east, intending to go there and raise small garden truck, but fate kept me here, until now. when, because of high expense, I am totally unable to go. The land is there, unused. So we see that with all their good intentions the different organizations have not got at the root of the evil. 1 here should be institutions which furnish to willing and honest men the first substantial means to start them on land which they own, taking such lands for a certain length of ifine as security for the amount received. I here are thousands who could thus be happy to become farmers and raise the food supply for the cities. r l he government should advance, to those the means needed and not compel them to spend the little they have saved for traveling hundreds of miles only to find out. that their lottery ticket did not win.

Look Trouble Squarely in Eye Is Rest

By Sarah G. Benedict

on our furniture and our lites. We have a gas bill of $2 or more each month. 7 We look our troubles in the face and laugh them away? We have iio grocery bills nor butcher bills to bother us, for we pay cash as we go. Some day ve expect to be better ofT in worldly goods. But till then well love, live and let live and. when “the shock of our awakening” comes we are still dreaming— and we “realize the conditions of life” we will lean stronger on “the Great Love” and think wealth, health and happiness, for as a man thinketh, so is he. v.

Another Common Gender Pronoun Offered

hey could not possibly conflict with ant* other word.

By T. RAYLE BRUCE

onc-e. It is as important for the salesman as it is for the merchant that he should know how to determine values. " : In almost any business you can find employees who have grown gray in the service whose judgment of values has not crown with their rears. Younger ■ ■ ■ . y cr employees, with less, experience, may have it. The -latter have that inestimable treasure, business instinct —the former never will have it. The latter will succeed in a business where buying and selling are the factors; the former will not. The man who has not in him the business instinct I which makes him a judge of values had better get out ■ • of a business that calls for buying and selling and into | another line of work where it is not required.

The newspapers at the present time are crowded with inducements and offers of farms. The present cry is: “Back to the farm!” Meetings are held, organizations convene, all in order to help the overflow population ter go to farming. The government opens lands, and, in fact, everything is done to “boost” the country life. But who goes there? Who gets the land? Only people possessed of at least some means, like the farmer or the small merchant, who has a bank account after selling out.

Why do we hear the lament, “Mv husband gets only $lB a week?” Does the one who utters it know that there are hundreds of wives who would think they were "motoring through life” if they had so much? My husband gets sl2 a week and I have three “kidlets,” four years, two years and two months old. Of course we have no steam heated flat and electric light, nor do we envy those who have. We are healthy and happy.' We have good, wholesome food and plenty of it. We pay sl2 a month rent, carry insurance

Before the subject of common gender pronouns is dropped I would like to offer ray suggestion. ■ Already several good ones have been proposed, but in each instance the new word might conflict, in sound if not in spelling, with other words already in use. I would suggest “heor,” “hisor,” fhimor,” in which case the other gender would he understood, as it would take the place of “lie or she,” “his or her,” “him or her.” And further, to make it more plain, the words might be hyphenated, such as “heor,” “his-or,” “him-or,” and in this way
