YOUTH—AND THE
NEW LEADERSHIP
By CRAIG B. HAZLEWOOD
President American Bankers Associa
tion
Leadership is a picturesque word.
With It, ono pictures Ilannlbal
fighting his way through the passes
of tho Alps—
many resp e c ts Craig Q. Hazlewood
than any of these.
It ts the onrush of our business life.
Our economic progress plunges ahead
at a rate unheard of In the history of
tho nations of tho world and every
industrial and financial loader Is dally
brought face to face with new and
perplexing problems requiring the
highest courage and Intelligence for
their solution.
Ninety billions a year, they tell us,
this country Is now producing in new
wealth. The rate of increase is even
more staggering than tho amount. It
is difficult, to say where It may lead
us In oven ten or fifteen years.
We are moving exceptionally fast.
Our economic and industrial structure
Is placing before us problems of
greater and greater magnitude. Few
men can see far ahead. Few are In
complete control, for this Is a chang
ing world, as evon the most inexperi
enced business man will readily tes
tify. Our methods of adjusting our
selves rapidly to economic changes
nnd of cooperating are far from per
fect.
What an opportunity tho leadership
of five, ten or fifteen years from now
presents! What an advonture it will
be! What responsibilities It will lay
upon tho broadest shoulders that may
be found! This is tho challenge to
leadership as I see It. In tho hands of
the young men must rest the respon
sibility for this leadership.
Boys Who Reached the Pinnacles
Business Is full of the romance of
youngsters whose chief characteristic
was working hard and keeping at It.
There was a green farmer boy who de
cided he would lather stand behind
a counter than follow a plow. Ho
seomod so obviously lacking In sales
ability that for a time no merchant
would hire him. He failed in his first
position, and in his second his salary
was reduced. He even agreed that he
was a misfit —hut he stuck. Out of
his first five stores, I believe, three
failed. But he persisted and worked
hard. And that boy, Frank W. Wool
worth, became tho greatest retail
merchant in the world with a storo
In every city of eight thousand or more
population In this country.
There was another lad who clerked
in a grocery store sixteen hours a day
and studied mathematics in his odd
moments. He became Interested In
the doings of the steel plant whose em
ployees traded at this store. He be
gan to study steel and sought a posi
tion in the plant. Ho carried a sur
veyor's chain and drove stakes. At
night he studied mathematics and en
gineering. He did not despair. He
could not be diverted. Ho kept the
pressure on for seven years. And that
boy, Charles Schwab, mastered the
iron industry and became one of tho
country’s groat industrial leaders.
There was a lad who sold papers on
a train. When he grew up, several
million men and a score of billions of
dollars of capital were given profitable
employment through his inventions.

continued to work twenty hours a day,
if necessary to achiovo his purpose.
Leadership is not pluy. Leadership
offers countless positions of varying
opportunity, of which the highest pin
nacles will moan almost unbearable
responsibility In tho new ora. There
will bo men with the fire and Iron to
qualify even for these places. Such
men must have had the very finest
preparation and the most grueling
tosts. Their reward will be tho attain
ment of these highest pinnacles of
achievement, and tho rendering of an
Immeasurable service to their times.
SCRUB BULL IS
HALED TO COURT
Placed on Trial for Hindering
Development and Prosperity
of Dairy Industry.
Indicted for robbery, larceny, and a
few ether such charges, Scrub Bull
went on trial for his life at Laurel,
Mississippi, recently. It seems that
for some time people had suspicions
that Mr. Bull was hindering the right
and lawful development of the dairy
industry, thereby “maliciously and
wilfully lowering production and de
creasing profits In the dairy business,’’
says the Bulletin of the American
Bankers Association Agricultural
Commission In commenting on the
case.
This, it says, was the first trial of
its kind ever held in that section and
was attended by several hundred peo
ple. The jury, representing every vo
cation within the boundaries of the
Laurel trade territory, rendered a
unanimous verdict of “guilty.’’ The
death sentence was pronounced, “but
during the night, before the sentence
could be carried out, friends of the
convict secretly spirited him away
and he has not been seen since.”
The arraignment came during the
Milk Products Show sponsored by the
banks of Laurel. People attending
the show had the opportunity of also
attending the bull’s “trial” and went
away firmly convinced of the serious
ness of lax and out-of-date methods In
the pursuit, of dairying. The p.ujr-
poses of both the Milk Products Show
and trial were threefold, namely:
to develop public sentiment for more
and better Jerseys; to foster a more
cooperative spirit for dairying and
livestock growing, and to promote tick
eradication.
Tho banks of Laurel entered Into a
cooperative arrangement In tholr ef
forts for fostering agricultural devel
opment and successful farming In the
community, offering $2,105 as premi
ums to the outstanding farm workers
throughout the territory during 1929.
An instructive booklet has been is
sued, showing tho agricultural activity
of the banks, together with announce
ments of contests for farmers, exhibits
in the hank lobbies and prizes offered.
Good Qualities of Fruits
Nutrition nnd Diet snys: “The npple
lends among (he orchard fruits. It car
ries smnll amounts of vltnmlnes A, B,
and 0. It has definite laxative proper
ties, probably owing to the large cel
lulose content. The young npple con
tains a Inrge amount of starch, but
ns It ripens tlds Is rapidly converted
Into sugar until when fully ripe It con
tains little or no starch. The acid
content decreases as the sugar In
creases. In like manner Its pectin, val
uable In the formation of Jelly, de
creases with the ripening process. The
citrus fruits are next In Importance
to the apple, nnd their culture Is be
ing enormously Increased. Oranges
come first They offer an excellent
source of readily assimilable glucose,
and for this reason orange Juice Is
used when there Is necessity for quick
assimilable carbohydrate which will
throw the least burden on the digestive
organs. The orange contains both vi
ta mines A and B."
