"Get Rich Quick" Not Modern

"The passion to get something for little or nothing, recently illustrated in the disclosures of

the operations of Charles Ponzi in Boston, is no modern human weakness," says the Indianapolis Star. "It has been the foundation of the fortunes of many shrewd men in all times. Literally hundreds of millions of dollars in good money and Liberty bonds have been invested in recent years in prospects of large returns from oil, mines and a long list of other enterprises. The government a few weeks ago brought indictments against several in New York and elsewhere whose operations were no less alluring than those of the Boston wizard who was promising large returns to his clients through dealings in foreign exchang. "Almost exactly 200 years ago both France and Great Britain were just awakening from financial dreams that left their investors and oven the governments themselves dazed and with depleted purses. The Mississippi company, organized in Paris in 1717 by John Law, was granted rights of colonization and exploitation a,long the banks of our Mississippi river, then a very vaguely known area, supposed to be rich in gold ancT silver deposits.-' Skilfully circulated reports of the mines that had been opened and of

the resources to be had for the taking greatly stimulated interest in the company. "The promoters promised the regent that they would pay off the public debt. They required that shares of the company should be paid for one-fourth in money and three-fourths in public securities. Such was the interest aroused and the hopes of investors that shares issued at a par value of $100 were selling; at $4,000. The frenzy of the investing public became so great that the state took advantage of the speculative craze to put out large sums in paper money. . "When the excitement was at its height some shrewd investors began to see what was the inevitable outcome of the pyramiding that had been in progress. They began trading their shares for real estate, jewels or anything else that possessed value likely to be lasting. As in the case of the Boston man's enterprise, it was not long after suspicion started until it became general. Then there was a crash, in which the French government sustained a loss of $340,000,000, which was a fabulous sum in that age. "At the same time the South Sea company bad proposed to take over the British debt, and held out prospects of paying as high as 60 per cent on its shares. It was capitalized at $35,000,000 and went the way of the "Mississippi Bubble" in France, although the loss involved to the British was not so heavy as was sustained by the French in their Mississippi enterprise, or in their more recent attempt at backing DeLesseps in the Panama canal undertaking. The French people spent approximately $274,000,000 of their savings in a futile effort at constructing that canal, for all of which they received $40,000,000 in salvage when they sold out to our govern- , ment."

Dinner Stories

"Goodness, Mary, It's an hour since I sent you to the store and here you are back without them." "Yes'm, but it was so long before me turn came to be served, that I forgot what you wanted." "Then why didn't you come back and find out?" " 'Deed'm, I was afraid I'd lose me turn." While he was making his way about

the platoon one dark night, a sergeant :

heard the roar of a G. l. Jan overhead and dived into a shell-hole. It was already occupied by a private,

who was hit fuU In the wind by the non-com's head. A moment's silence a long, deep breath, and then: "Good Lord, Is that you, sarge?" "That's me." "Thank heaven! I was Just waiting for you to explode!"

News of Railroad and Industrial Workers

Mild congestion. of freight has been caused at the Pennsy east yards because of the unusual heavy shipments of freight from western and middle western states to the . Atlantic seaboard, a Pennsy freight official said Tuesday. This congestion may last until the first of the year, although condition may adjust themselves quickly enough to end It by the end of the month. The Pennsy east yards consist of four yards, two receiving and two outgoing yards. Yard A is the receiving yard for west bound freight. Yard C Is for east bound freight. Yard B Is outgoing yard for west bound cars and Yard D Is for east bound cars. Because of the congestion, east bound freight cars are often brought Into C yards, switched to B yards and then switched to D varils

the road. In normal times, east bound

cars are switched from C to D and then onto the road. Because the east is the manufacturing section of the country, east bound shipments exceed west bound shipments about three-fourths of the year.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

v . THE HUMAN FACE A human face is a marvelous thing! Strange that of the billions of faces made since time got to going, no two were ever exactly alike. Strange, too, that no one face remains long the same. The face is the key to character. As surely as a man's hand, guided by the orders of his brain, clears wide wastes, builds great cities and cuts from huge rocks the story of his achievements in life-like figures Just as surely a man's thoughts carve and fashion daily the secret workings of his ideal purpose in lines and planes of his own face. Make something of your face! There is one thing no man can hide from his own face. Where the man goes, the face must go. How tremendous the responsibility, then, of making your face a good companion, a faithful servant, an accurate representative, an active force, an interesting study a face worth remembering. Make something of your face! A face never lies. It may be a comic picture, a Shakespearean tragedy, a chiseled piece of power, a comedy of errors, or a wrecked god but its no lie. If you would know a man study the history that is stamped on his face. Better start associating more with your own face. Know it, train it, mold it well. It is your largest asset, for no man can take it from you. Realize now, then that the most important Job for you each day is to Make something of your face!

One of the Impossibilities is to "Buy your coal before it goes higher." It goes higher before you can get to tho , coal office. Scandalous headline from the Hono lulu "Commercial Advertiser": "Proj hibition Officers Actually Fighting Booze, They Say." What Every Excursionist Knows. That the string band will play "Dardanella" nineteen times during the trip. That the camp stool that he draws will shut up on him and collapse and . that there won't be another one on the boat. That a young child smeared with molasses taffy will come and put her hands confidingly on the knees of your best trousers. That there will be nothing to eat on the boat but cracker-Jack and souvenir post cards. That some fussy old lady will complain of his cigar smoke blowing in her face That the soot from the smoke stack will follow him wherever he goes to get away from it. That every passer-by will stumble over his feet, and then turn and glare at him.

That he will take one look at the seaside resort and then stay on the boat until she starts back for the return trip. That he will wish he had taken his overcoat and his heavy underwear before he gets home. That some lady will stand and stara at him until he gets up and gives her the arm chair that he had snitched for the return trip. That he will never go again until the next time.

After all. the Dodge City "Globe" believes that whoever put over the idea of putting all the nut organizations into a third party by themselves Is deserving of an extra lump of sug3r in his coffee. Europe should make up her mind that the United States can not keep her in the style to which she was accustomed before the war. Not wishing his neighbors any bad luck at all, a western candidate advertises: "I would like to be your coroner."
