Progreaa The Jolm of itO.OOO men and women are directly dependent on the exist ence of the Chicago Board of Trude; 100,000 are employed Indirectly be cause of the “world’s largest” corn modify exchange. These tlgures Indi cate the Important part the board has taken In building Chlcugo Into the fifth city of the world and the financial and marketing center of the Middle West. Early In IS-18 u small group of !n --(luentlal leaders, engaged In pulling Chicago out of the mud that was old Fort Dearborn, organized the board of trade. Memberships ih those days could be bought for a comparatively few dollars. Today the total value of memberships, at a conservative es timate, Is $50,000,000. In the old days, tolling wagonloads of wheat and corn arrived from across the prairies In Chicago and were promptly sold at the exchange. Long before the end of the hoard’s eighty first year, Chicago was the rullroad center of the world and farm prod ucts moved to market Iri modern style. It. Is estimated that one-seventh of all the revenue of mldwestem railroads now Is derived from the transport of farm crops to market. A great part of their shipments go to Chicago for sale on the exchange. Thinks He Has Special Reason for Complaint The driver of a small car, parked in a crowded downtown section, stopped short and stared at the appar ent nakedness of the machine. The spare tire was missing. With a nonchalant shrug, he mut tered something about “thieves will be thieves” and began to climb Into the machine. But he stopped short again and stooped to pick up a wrench from the running board. His face grew crimson, and the things he suid were terms not generally employed by fre quenters of social teas. “What’s tiie trouble?” asked the Stroller. “A lot!” he snapped. “I don’t mind these crooks stealing my tire, but when they open my car and take my tools to do it with, that’s too much*!" —Philadelphia Public Ledger. Protect Guano Birds Shipmasters carelessly blowing their foghorns, disturbing the guano birds nesting on the islands off the coast of Peru, are punished with a fine; and if it Is discovered that their vessels ap proached within two miles of the Is lands, their boats are confiscated 1 This new law was passed by the Peruvian government in a drastic cam paign to protect the birds, which, as described in Popular Science Monthly, produce large quantities of guano, an excellent fertilizer. While guano is found in various places, the most val uable variety—containing from 13 to 14 per cent nitrogen and a like propor tion of phospnoric acid —is exported from the Chincha and other islands near the Peruvian coast. These is lands produce $1,000,000 wortlr of the fertilizer a year. Gems His Playthings Many, varied, and strange are the belongings kept in safe deposits. Dur ing the recent visit to England of the ruler of a semi-independent Indian state a score or more of gorgeously ap parelled retainers visited the prem ises of one company every day to col lect three heavy chests filled with cut and uncut precious stones. These were taken away for the dusky potentate to play with, and returned to the vaults when lie tired of his dnily amusement. The jewels were said to be worth over £10,000,000 and were probably the most valuable collection ever stored at one ti me. Cable Insulation One can hardly see any connection between iioop skirts and thb electrical industry, hut one may be traced, strangely enough, which took place in the early days of the electrical devel opment. The first cables were not in sulated satisfactorily till Walter T. Glover, an Englishman who braided steel hoops with cotton, had an in spiration. Crinolines were going out, so was his business. So he used his machinery for insulating copper wire with cotton braid, and he soon had no cause to regret the passing of the crinoline. Turkey* Bred by Aztec* Although the earliest authentic rec ord of the turkey refers to its intro duction into Spain in 1524, a French writer says turkeys were first brought to France In 151J3. When the Span iards conquered Mexico they found semi-domesticated turkeys in the zoo logical parks of the Aztecs, he writes. Among the Pueblo Indians of the Southwest turkeys were raised before the coining of (lie Spaniards and these fowls had reached übout the same de gree of domestication that pigeons have today. —Pathfinder Magazine.

DON’T MISS THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY Henson Furniture Company Conyers, Georgia # • * • * “This Company will not wrong anyone intentionally, and if by chance it commit a wrong, it will right it voluntarily.” U\T O employe is ever justified in assuming that the size of the Company entitles him to impose on others. -A- No .matter how humble the individual may be, his rights and his feelings should be scrupulously respected. The Company is big because it must be in order to do a big work of service, but it will never be big enough to disregard the rights of others. The very fact that the Company is large makes it all the more important that it should, in every dealing, be careful to give proper consideration to the people with whom and with whose properties and whose rights it comes in contact. Consideration should be shown regardless of the condition or position in life of the party with whom we are dealing. This applies to men, women and children, white and black. Indeed, the more humble a person is the greater the obligation of a gentleman to practice consideration. If a person is weaker than we are, their very wealcnc s is an additional reason why we should not take unfair advantage. “Remember that one of the Company’s publicly announced policies is that This Company will not wrong anyone intentionally, and if by chance it commit a wrong, it will right it voluntarily. “This does not mean that we will submit to being unjustly imposed upon nor N that every injury suffered by others is the result of a wrong on our part. But it does mean exactly what it says and should be lived up to in all of our dealings.” P. S. ARKWRIGHT, President.
