SIZER’S RULES OF SUCCESS I succeeded by continuous hard vork, and by following the maxim, “Pay as you go, and never go an inch further than you can pay.” I was tempted often enough to venture out on the end of a limb after a cluster of fruit, as every business man is, hut 1 stuck to the maxim. If i was cranky about getting cash for my lumber I was just as crankj aboit paying my bills on the instant, and I haven’t got over it. M my early days, when I first began to deal with banks, I was asked often if would renew my notes on their ex piration. My answer always was that when a note of mine foH due it would be paid in full, and I lived up to that platform. If I were giving advice to young wen it would be to be a crank on -paying bills. It is not alone that it gives you credit with others, it ia tko self-discipline it promotes. As for hard work, I did it to begM with because I wanted to get on. 1 do it still for the best of reasons because I enjoy it, and because once a man begins to let np, he slacks a way too rapidly. Self-indulgence is a treacherous vice. Give it ene inch and it will take a mile. Hard work can cure more ills, physical, mental, and spiritual, than all the drugs in the pharmacopoeia.—Robert R. Si zer, head of the New York lumber firm ©f Robert R. Sizer & Cos., in the New York Globe. WHO’S NEXT? “Who’s Next” is not the caption tor a story, it is rather a thought that mlist force itself very frequent ly upon the sober reflection of ev ery thinking mind, when we take cognizance of the large numjber of traffic accidents that are a daily oc currence . The increase of accidents through out the country is far out of propor tion to the increase in the number of automobiles that are used. In some of the larger cities, traffic ac cidents during the first nine months of 1924 show an increase of from twenty to thirty per cent over the same period of last year. Doesn’t it seem that something more than leg islation is needed to lessen auto traf fic accidents? The safety commissions through out the country have been hard at work to devise ways and means fco stem the tide of this alarming in crease and an educational movement is Bn foot in many cities, that should materially help to solve traffic haz ards. Yet, despite the many laws regu lating traffic and the educational woik of the Safety Commissions, the increase in accidents and deaths is continuing at a rapid pace and is so appalling, that the time has come when the entire populace must a rouse itself into action as it can no longer afford to pass up the matter With heroic endurance and stoical resignation, while people are being kited into the air, hurled against fence posts or flung to the curb atones and under cars. es, and these accidents are a commonplace occurrence, they are 'ery often followed in their wake by hearts breaking with sorrow, misery am: grim death, and as we gaze over 8 long list of accidents of the pre ceding day, the thought “Who’s -• f, xt seems to stand out like a blaz torch and the conviction must * e home with redoubled force to ■°f us, that this speed mania is ng such control of our daily as to create a superficial state niind and a condition within us that is fast developing strong symp toms of carelessness, thoughtlessness recklessness and utter disregard for the welfare of each other. Let every man, woman and child be a crusader against this speed ma nia which is fast making humanity lose its hold upon life’s Galls. Let the newspapers of our country, who stand as the torch bearers of prog ress and happiness, crusade against this speed-mania demon that is weak ening and upset-ting the equilibrium of nature itself. Let clubs and civic societies in every comiminity join in this crusade and war against this destructive speed-bugj the human mind is unconsciously but gradually yielding. —Tips and Chips MORE FOR COTTON PRODUCTS Receipts by the Georgia Cot Von Growers’ Co-operative Association of its one hundred thousandth bale from, this season’s crop was of great interest to those who have watched the development of the pooling idea in this state. It means that the co operative marketing association has made a tremendous stride in the two and one-half years that it has been functioning, a stride which many at the start believed to be impossible. In the first year ctf ihs existence the Georgia pool amounted to 55,000 bales. Last year 79,000 weue han dled. This season it appears likely that the toteal will be between 110,000 and 125,009. ( The increase over all of last sea son already amounts to nearly fifty per cent. This foreshadows a sub stantial reduction in the cost per bale of handling Eie members’ mat ton. It further means a stronger in fluence toward stabilizing the prioe of the South’s premier agrioultural commodity, and the putting into the pockets of the producers—who most deserve it—a larger share of the e ventual sales prioe. That is the fundamental aim of Che cotton marketing associations. They do not seek bo accomplish the impossible—that is, to raise the price above the level which must al ways be fixed by free working of the law of supply and demand. What they d® seek to do and what they oan do is: First—To prevent losses which will result from the selling of cotton at the dumping period when the year’s supply must be absorbed with-’ in three or four months. Second—By more direct selling to give to the producer that share of the eventual price to the spinners which formerly has gone to innumer able middlemen, each of whom has taken his profit in the journey of the bale from gin to jenny. There is a third accomplishment possible and already a matter of demonstration;. The pooling of cot ton for gradual sale throughout the season has a bouyant effect on price. This year, with a crop roughly esti mated at 13,000,000 bales, some thing like 1,250,000 bales or one tenth, has been withheld from the market at the dumping period— that is the three months or so during which most of the rest of the crop has been sold by the producer at whatever price he could obtain from village buyers. This one-tenth of the crop itself will bring an average price for the season, since it will have been sold gradually and in or derly fashion. It was definitely re moved from the market when the season opened, and the trade gen erally in computing the amount of the crop that would be pressing for .sale during September, October, No vember subtracted that one-tenth I from its guess as to the amount of the total crop. Hence, with the prob ability of a 13,000,000-bale crop, it was a known fact that -the immedi ately' forthcoming amount for sale was less than 11,000,000 bales. How many points or how many cents per pound thi.s sequestration of one-tenth of the crop added to the price can , never be mor than conjecture, but i certainly the increase is considera ble . Eventually it may be that non members will see.that while they now are profiting because of the co-op eratives, they can profit a great deal more by selling their own product through the associations, thus get ting to the maximum the good that VHE DANIEL.SVU.Lfc MONITOR. DANIELSVILLE. GEORGIA can be obtained through pool selling. The growth ©f the Geougia Co-op erative association, in number ef members and in amount of cotton handled, should be welcomed by all broad-thinking citizens. The co-op erative principle is eorreet. It will help the producer when it is put in to effect with good management. It is no panacea; it cannot accom plish the impossible; it will fail when mismanaged, or even when not man aged with a high degree of efificier.oy, for it is merely a business, with ma ny owners instead of a few, and it has no invulnerability against the ills that any business may incur. The Association m this state seems to have had efficient and economical management since the start. He#e its success is natural. This sucoosk should be pleasing to all citizens, for it means the giving of a squarer deal to the backbone of our social body, the farmer. —Editorial from the Aldanha Journal.
