A Universal
Draft Law —
The American Legion will rec
ommend to Congress the passage
of a universal draft law a law
drafting men, material and
wealth, in the event of war. Hie
bid favored by the legion would
give to the President of the Unit
ed States the power to stabilize
prices of commodities, to draft
men between the ages of 2 I and
30 years of age, and to proclaim
the materia] resources and Indus- (
trial organizations of the coun-,
try under government control
during an emergency.
In a word, that's conscription;
of men and wealth, and to meet
the emergency of war. it is the.
fairest and most economical
course to follow. Conscription of j
men is unpleasant, but it is F AIR. !
There will always be those who (
will dodge and hide and pretend
in an effort to escape their duty, j
Conscription of wealth smacks
of the socialistic, but if the draft-;
ing of me nis fair, then certainly
the drafting of wealth or material
resources is both fair and essen- j
tial. Life is more important than [
wealth. If we throw a man into I
the trenches, demanding his life.'
if need be, then certainly the gov j
ernment should back him up with'
the material resources of the Na-!
tion.
The next Congress will not
pass the legion bill, nor will the
next or the next, but in time, na
tions will conscript wealth as read
ily and as impartially as they do
men.
The wars of the future will be
morg deadly than in the past;
they will come more quickly;
there will be less time for prepara
tion, therefore, it is necessary
that every resource of the Nation
be laid at the feet of the Com-)
mander and Chief of the Army,
the Navy and the Air.

What Chance Has a
Clerk in a Store?—
Probably many a clerk has
asked himself or herself the ques-1
tion "What chance have I as a*
clerk in a store?” Probably the!
thought comes that clerking is not I
a profession—that it means noth-]
ing mor ethan the exchange of>
merchandise for a price. But the'
clerk HAS a profession—one of
the most important of all profes-'
sions, and as a clerk opportunity]
is as great as in other lines of en- 1
deavor-
In the following editorial from
the New York Evening Journal,!
the chance of the clerk to know
human beings, to learn business
methods, to become independent'
and rich is shown:
Hundreds of the future rich
powerful and useful men of this
are working now as clerks in stores.
Thousands of young women that
ia future will be independent, well
equipped, able to take care of
themselves, are working in the
stores side by side with the-young
men.
The boys and girls of this coun
try should realize that the mod
ern stroe is the modern business col
lege.
What a man or woman needs to
advance in the world and succeed
in business is supplied by conscien
tious work in the well-managed
store.
To succeed you must know your
fellow man. You see them and
study them in the STORE as you
can do nowhere else.
Their weaknesses are displayed,
their curious dispositions revealed.
The young man or woman,
Standing behind the counter, alert,
attentive, observing, can learn
more of human nature in one week
TOM SIMS
Jumping at an opportunity some
times scares it way.
Saving for rainy days is fine •un
less you fail to enjoy sunny ones.
Some people never show up very
well when it comes to a show down.
If you have cold feet the world
keep you in hot water.
A THOUGHT
He that loveth pleasure shall be a
. poor man; he that loveth wine and
oil shall not be rich—Prov. 21:17.
Pleasure is far sweeter as a re
] creation than as a business. R. D.
Hitt hcock.
than the lawyer could learn in a
year. The young clerk has twenty
“clients” in a day. The v' o’ >- law
yer one in a month.
The customer, eagerly shopping,,
is off guard; you see the real and
undistinguished human nature.
You see humanity as it is.
To succeed i!i business you n.u. t
loarn how to deal with human be
ings. It is not only that which is
within you that gives success, but
that which is in others -ami jou
must learn to understand it, and
fa ras you need it, you must
lear» to get it.
Business succeess is tt.c ait
.» the art o f making
persuation, tnc an
friends, the art of producing a
good impression. .
These arts you'learn m the
modern stare as onwhere else
Fathers and mohters of intelli
gent boys and girls should realize
that what the son or daughter needs
to be equipped for the worlc >
battle is knowledge of the world
and the people in it.
While working in the store that
knowledge is obtained safely, the
young worker, the girl especially,
works under the eyes of those in
terested in her welfare and de
velopment.
She comes in contact with men
and women of the outside woild
under right, conditions. They want
something; she is there to supply it.
She goes from her home to her
work and from her work to her
home, safely and regularly.
Suppose you wanted your son
or daugter to learn a business,
which is realy to learn commercial
methods and human nature, and
suppose that a friend said to you:
“I will take your son under my
direction and observation. I will
bring him in contact every day
with dozens of different types of
citizens —the very rich, the mid
dle class, the classes with whom he
must deal later in life, on his own
account, f will make him acquaint
ed with values, with merchandise,
with methdos so salesmanship, with
the importance of regularity, at
tention, politeness. All this I will
do day after day, giving him the
opportunity that I lacked when I
was young —opportunity to see
quickly and learn quickly all that
business life is.”
You would readily accept such
an offer, would you no,t for your
son, for your daughter?
That is the offer held out by the
owner of the good, well-managed
store today.
Every such store is a business
college. It is to the ordinary
business college what a real news
paper is to a school of journalism.
You can learn something in a busi
ness college and something in a ’
school of journalism. But to be
a business man you must be in busi
ness, to be a newspaper man you
must be on a newspaper.
Somebody said tha ta drop of
s-Jt water represented the whole
Pacific Ocean, since it was only
made up of such drops.
A well-manager store represents
the whole world of business and is
the best place for a business edu
cation, for one good store is a
business world.
Young men and women, be at
tentive and ambitious in your
store work, and success will come.
The clerk should 100 kon his
JOB as a PROFESSION for it is
a profession to the alert, indus
trious and conscientious one. To
the lazy and inefficient, it is a
job and nothing more. The
modern store is probbaly the best
place of all to study human na
ture, to know men and women,
i to see their frailties and appre
ciate their better qualities, and
no man will be a success in life
who doesn’t know human nature.
Clerking is applied salesman
ship, one of the largest and one
of the most important of all pro
fessions.
You can get over most things by
thinking them over.
ou can’t keep a good man down
or a bad one up.
You can rise in your own estima
tion by being on the level.
A little trouble now and theif is
just what makes the best of men.

PRESIDENT BARRETT OF NATIONAL
FARMERS UNION PREDICTS STEADY
INFLUX OF FARMERS INTO GEORGIA
Georgia hasn’t gone “town-lot” wild, but Georgia farm lands are be
ginning to attract attention of seekers for permanent investment in
home-sites who are coming to the South, said Charles S. Barrett, presi
dent of National Farmers Union, talking to The Week, after a visit to his
own farms in Florida, following an inspection of his farm in White
County, Georgia, last week.
“Furthermore,” said Mr. Barrett, “this state isn't suffering any agri
cultural set-back or calamity because of the drouth this summer.
“Agricultural spots in this state suffered, as they did in other
states. In spots some of the farmers didn’t make the crops they had
the right, early in the year, to expect, but their experience doesn’t differ
at all from what I have seen in the West.. Wyoming, Indiana, Illinois;
oh, all those great agricultural states have had their weather condition
problem this year, and I suspect none of them have been as bad as some
of the pictures were painted.
“When I got home I expected to find my place up in White county
dried up and the stock on the verge of starvation. Why, I was never
more surprised than on my visit to that farm. The farmers are all
making something; they are not going to lose stock. I have gone over
some of the other ‘drouth-stricken’ counties, too. The people are not in
danger of privation or suffering. Agricultural conditions could have
been better, but they are not as bad anywhere as reports have led peo
ple outside of our own state to believe.
It is true, Mr. Barrett says, that there is a great deal of fine agri
cultural land in Georgia not being cultivated that ought to go on the
market; should be settled with sdme of the thrifty, enterprising people
who are migrating this way. “And there is a demand for that sort of
land, too. I have found out that there are a few people from this state
down in Florida right now, who are taking the right kind of advantage
of an opportunity. They are letting the visitors—the sure enough
home-seekers —look over what’s offered in Florida. They are joining
in the admiration of that state’s get-up-and-go, its wonderful develop
ment. Then, when the new comer doesn’t find the farm he really is look
ing for, attention is directed to a,location in Georgia• which suits him
and a good many Georgia farms have meen sold to them.
“Judging from what I have observed, Georgia will, next yaer,
have several hundred new citizens, new' farmers, and that means the
bringing in of the kind of new blood we want—people who are looking
for agricultural possibilities. We have them. • God blessed our state
with, a great deal other states haven’t got to offer to humanity. Climate,
soil, good markets —all the thigns those new comers are really looking
for. Oh, I don’t mean the speculator. K'e is going to be found every
where when there is growth, expansion, a sudden migration of people;
but he isn’t the fellow who ■ makes a fcountry grow. It is the settler,
and that’s the class who are now beginning to fall back across the line
into Georgia. He is the man who is finding the real attraction in Geor
gia, and to whom Georgia must extend a cordial hand of greeting, fel
low'ship and encouragement.”
Much the same story is told by Mr. R. C. Berckmans’ member of the
Georgia Board of Entomology and one of the foremost horticulturists in
the South. Mr. Berckmans foresees a great revival of the citrus fruit
industry in Florida and a considerable spread of that industry across the
border into the lower part of this state. One of the attractions; to the
farming class among a great migration of people into this part of the
South, he says, is the development in Georgia of the tobacco growing in
dustry. That, he says, is in its infancy in Georgia and, as great as has
been the expansion in tobacco production in the past two or three years,
greater still will it be in the next five years. “It is the tobacco crop,”
says Mr. Berckmans, “wheih brought our state back after the advent of
the boll weevil. Our people are just beginning to learn well how to
produce the crop. In the next five years it will be our big crop, and
I expect to see Georgia the big tobacco producing state of the country.
This is a study for farming people newly come to our section. It is
already commanding their attention and is turning some mighty good
farmers into the state, who had started out thinking the}' would locate
somewhere else.”
