ARNALL MDSE. CO. Q Q John A. Rowland. Most young men entering business should prepare themselves tor an al most inevitable depression which fol- ows the elevation natural upon secur ing a first entry into a chosen work. In proportion as this untried work is the ambition of the young man, the novice has reason to anticipate this mental re action. In this way often the first few weeks of the young man’s apprentice ship may be the most trying and yet the most influential period of his life. “Yes, I made a mistake in not stick ing there when I had a chance,” is a typical expression of regret that many a man has had to make when, later in life, he has been able to look back upon an opportunity he has let slip because of its under-valuation. When it is considered that thousands of young men, too, take up their life work with no great attraction to it, this problem of preparation for the dis couragements of the undertaking be comes especially momentous. In the life of most young men prior to entry into business, most of their actions have been prompted wholly by the sense of enjoyment and pleasure to be found in them. They have cultivated intolerance for the disagreeable facts of life. In the case of such a young man, drawn to an especial work through rosy anticipation of its duties, the chance for a smashing of his idealism is serious. Work in the abstract is a serious thing. It requires the serious atten tion and best efforts of the worker. Expenditure of these forces entails the physical and mental weariness which so easily leaves the worker. The con dition is absolutely normal, yet often it invites abnormal nursing of such a feeling until the victim has lost all sense of proportion with reference to himself. It is accepted everywhere that no or ganizer worthy of the name cares to carry the dissatisfied man on his pay roll. He is a poor worker to that ex tent, but even more he is the figurative wet blanket, acting as a deterrent upon others susceptible to his influence. Personally, he is in the position of the bored guest at the feast. That the grouchy employee appreciates his po sition is shown in the fact that he con ceals it, if he can, from his superiors. But in the presence of these fellow- workers in whom he feels he can con fide he becomes an active sower of dis affection. What is the trouble with the dissatis fied young man? Believe me, there is no question set for solution over which the young man himself may ponder more seriously and sanely. This typical young man is al ways Quick to invite the judgment of friends in pointing the way to a busi ness opportunity. So long as the quest for a place is before him he is likely to be most susceptible to the advice of friends and acquaintances. But once in a position in which he has soured, he is most likely to seek a friend only that he may confide just‘how impossi ble the position has become. Pie is willing to explain in detail why he can't stay where he is, while he may be ready to accept his friend’s most ab stract suggestion as to where else he shall go to improve his chances. Somewhere with this dissatisfied young man and his employer something is wrong. To determine just what that trouble is and to correct it as soon as possible should be done. If the young man is at fault he cannot dis cover the truth too soon. If the em ployer is at fault, the change cannot be made too speedily. The serious trouble with the young nd inexperienced man, however, is hat, nursing his intolerances, he may have an exaggerated view of hi3 own hard position which his lack of experi ence elsewhere cannot serve to restore to an equilibrium. What is the true basis of the disaffection? Should the young man set himself the task of making concessions, here and there? Or should he break with the whole sit uation and leave it? For these are the practical solutions of his difficulties. How easily this inexperienced young man may make a mistake in the diag nosis of his case may be illustrated in the lives of thousands of men in all walks of life. These men, gray and seamed with years, bo easily look back ward feeling that if they were to live life over again they would choose an entirely different occupation to that in which often they wolud have made a great success. As fathers, most of them have a choice for their sons. These men have gone through the troubles and trials of the apprentice ship period only to discover late in life that they are dissatisfied. They have friends who wonder at the disaffection. Their positions are not understood. And yet it is the stand that presumably has been taken by a ripened judgment. Disaffection in the young employee is not wholly undesirable. Probably one of the blackest marks that might be set against the young worker mav come of an absolute sense of satisfac tion in his present work. To be su premely content in his present work, nursing no ambition even in secret to better i^is work in the world, must be indicative of decay. Here and there the necessities of business may make such a man desirable, but more often it is something upon which the organ izer will frown. In the building up of modern busi ness the business man seeks to invest in the future of his employees, in la ter years there has been a cry against the disposition of the employer to re fuse the services ot the elderly man, competent for to-day, simply becuse he does not promise enuogh of growing competeijfv for to-morrow. In thty same light the attitude of the satisfied young man. settling down into a rut in an establishment, is undesira ble. Men lose places which they have and value, simply for the reason that under friendly pressure of the employ er they refuse to advance to a place where in the judgment of the employer they would prove mutually more valu able. Manifestly somewhere between dis affection and the calm of absolute con tent, the young man must find the golden mean. He cannot cease the obli gation which rests upon him to decide. “Looking for a job” too long has been exaggerated out of proportion to its importance; to reconcile one’s self to a life work is of infinitely more impor tance. Fit into it—or get out. You can’t escape the exaction. First Duty as a Farmer. Protjre. Sive Farmer. We Jail not too often repeat ami ve cannot too strongly emphasize the fact that no farming is good farming which does not maintain and increase the fer tility of the soil. Big crops are no in dication of good farming when they are produced at excessive cost—a man may make a big crop and leave him self and his land poorer for the opera tion. A man doing this may fie any thing but a good farmer. But the man who increases the fertility of his land year after year so that he can produce profitable crops with each recurring season—he is a farmer worthy of the title. The soil is the source from which all our wealth must be drawn. He who wastes this heritage of all men and thus leaves the world poorer for those who shall come after him, commits a crime against provident nature and against human-kind. He who redeems the waste places, who makes the desert to blossom and the barren fields to bring forth, is one of humanity’s bene factors. The question is: Which are you go ing to be—a farmer who helps to make his country more fair and fruitful, or a mere robber who draws with selfish im providence upon the bounty of the j earth and makes no return? To say nothing of the moral aspect this business of soil depletion is finan cially unprofitable. We of the South can see only too plainly the results of such a system, “worn out,” abandoned fields, poor stock, poor houses, few con veniences, cheap lands—a poor people, in short, so shown by census reports and so regarded by people of other sec tions. Isn’t it time for us to about face and change these things? Secretary Wilson says that with seven years of good farming the average Southern land would be worth $100 an acre. Is not that* with all that it would mean, a prize worth striving for? A certain young man’s friends j thought he was dead, but he was only j in a state of coma. When, in ample I time to avoid being buried he showed [ signs of life, he was asked how it I seemed to be dead. “Dead?” he exclaimed. “I wasn’t dead. I knew all that was going on. And I knew I wasn’t dead, too, because my feet were cold and I was hungry." “But how did that fact make you think you were still alive?” asked one of the curious. “Well, this way: I knew that if I were in heaven I wouldn’t be hungry. And if I were in the other place my feet wouldn’t be cold.” “Is her husband handy about the house?” “I should say he is. He can pin her waists down the back just as neatly as a woman.” S U X I) A V F N E 1 4 p.m. Opening exercises. Seats free. Special orchestra and quartette music. Invocation—Rev. .1. E. Hannah.

If you are of rio account you will not deceive anyone by acting as though great interests rested in your keeping. The day of pomposity is past, we hope never to return. More people than ever before are intelligent and able to judge those with whom they come in contact. This means that they are able to judge you and place a true rather than a false estimate on your abilities. A child thinks the humble toy ped dler is a man of rare gifts. A score or more of young girls at Beaverville, Ind., have formed a league to promote refinement, among young men, and among ocher things have re solved to marry no man who drinks, smokes or chews and who does not take the home paper. Drinking is considered the chief evil, smoking and chewing come next, while the young women as sert that when a man does not take the home paper it is evidence of want of intelligence and that he will prove too stingy to provide for a family, educate his children and encourage institutions of learning^in the community.
