Mcßae Commissioner Roads &Revenues ) Getting a Job and Getting Ahead By Floyd B. Foster, Vocational Counselor, International Correspondence Schools Difficulties Provide the Opportu nities for Success A PROMINENT business execu tive has said that if he had to name the one quality most essential for success in business, he would say that it is the ability to find genuine pleasure in overcoming difficulties. A tendency to shrink from or avoid difficulties can be a wellnigh fata! handicap to the young man starting his business career. Every responsible job in every line of work presents its difficulties. The more responsible and bettor paid the job, the more it abounds with them. It is this very fact that accounts for the fascination of busi ness, and that assures the man suc cessful in overcoming difficulties an ample reward for his labors. It ia safe to say that the size of an in dividual’s earnings is an accurate measurement of the number of diffi cult situations he must deal with tn the course of a day’s work. * There are millions of people wbo can fill the routine jobs which busi ness provides. Their reward is the reward the rank and file always re ceives. The opportunities for suc cess lie in doing the difficult jobs. The man who finds himself in a job where there do not seem to be any difficulties can be sure there is no future in that job for him. If your goal is a successful busi ness career you cannot do better than hunt for difficulties. Never try to avoid them or pass them on for someone else to worry about. Learn to discover and cope With them bet ter than the men around you, and your success is. assuked. v May Need Giant Slippers Among the odd things in the Tem ple of the Sleeping Buddha in Peip ing, China, is a pair of giant cloth slippers which lie at the feet of the large reclining figure of Buddha. They will come in handy, it is said, in case he ever walks in his sleep.— Collier’s Weekly. rounder or usteopatny Andrew Taylor Still, founder of os teopathy. was born near Jonesboro, Va., in 1828. He farmed in Missouri, studied medicine at Kansas City and saw service in the Civil war. In 1864, when three of his children died of spinal meningitis, he devised the treatment known as osteopathy and practiced as an itinerant physician for some years. He settled in Kirks ville, Mo., in 1887, and developed a large practice. Five years later he opened the American School of Os taopathy there. He died in ISI7. Wheeler County Eagle, Alamo, Georgia June 30 1939 FIRST 400 CORPORATIONS TO REPORT SHOW QUARTERLY PROFIT GAINS OF EIGHTY-TWO PER CENT In its last monthly review, the Federal Reserve Board of New York states: “Net profits of those leading companies which report quarterly compared very favorably with the earnings reported in the correspond ing period (Jan.-Mar.) 1938. Net profits less deficits of the 100 industrial and mercantile companies were 82 (eighty-two) per cent larger than in 1938. Actual net profits of the 400 totaled $251,500,- 000 in the first quarter of 1939, against 187,900,000 in the first quarter of 1938.” Following are net eajnings for both quarters as reported by com panies engaged in practically all lines of industry and commerce. The minus sign indicates there was a deficit. These authentic net earnings statements issued by American cor porations definitely refute the daily assertions of Republican spokes men in Congress and on the air that the Roosevelt zYdministration has interfered with business. The list includes the principal public utili ties and practically all of the Liberty League contributors whose com plaint* have been most vociferous against government in the interest of all of the people.

R. Gilder, Alamo, Ga., Route 1. Know Your Language < By C. L. Bushnell School of English, International Correspondence Schools “ TMLAPIDATED” derives from ^“iapis,” the Latin word for stone. One explanation of its deri vation is that in Roman and pre- Roman times stoning to death was a frequent form of punishment To us it seems a barbarous practice, but undoubtedly when an unfortu nate victim was stoned to death, he was completely “dilapidated.” • * • The use of the expression “old adage” is what grammarians des cribe as tautology. “Adage” by it self means an old and long accepted saying. The “old” is, therefore, un necessary and hence tautological. “Turbulent mob” is another example of the same thing, for the word “qffb” itself means a turbulent crowd or assembly. - Business Guides By C. E. Johnston , Director, Business Training Schools, International Correspondence Schools IDEAS for improvement of a prod uct or the operation of a busi ness often come from employes. The prudent employer always Is eager to learn of new ideas. He encourages his workers to make suggestions. There have been in stances where a company has re ceived and adopted suggestions without rewarding the originators in any manner. This leads to ill feeling and sometimes even to seri ous labor trouble. Credit should always be given to employes when it is warranted. Employe loyalty will result. • • * Most forward-looking business owners and operators encourage employes to improve themselves by study. Thousands of firms recom mend certain courses of training and pay part or all of the cost. This interest in the employe shows prof its for the employer because it re sults in ambitious, industrious workers always being available to fill positions which require an un usual knowledge or exceptional skill. There is no substitute tor a' trained worker or office employe. In these days the employer cannot devote the time necessary to train employes for advanced positions. Instead, he encourages them to train themselves by study. • • • Higher positions are always in the reach of those qualified to fill them. The employe who acquires ability to fulfill more than his pres ent duties, already ha. started on the road to success If there is any ■'secret" of success, it is to be pre pared when an opportunity comes. The wise business executive knows the persons in his organization who are capable of holding better jobs. The wise employe makes sure he is capable of holding a better job by training himself while occupying his present position. Hint# For Motorist* By Joseph R. Rollins The Atlantic Refining Company EVEN an inexperienced driver can soon learn to identify the slapping noise in the engine that is caused by a worn piston pin. If the slap is particularly noticeable when the engine is idling, but tends to disappear at higher engine speeds, the strong probabilities are that it is a piston slap. • • ♦ In view of the fact that defective lighting greatly increases the haz ards of night driving, it is a wise precaution to make sure that the lighting system is always in A-l condition. So small a factor as the age of a light bulb may reduce the effective light by 50 per cent or more. Dirt on the lenses may cause a further appreciable loss of light intensity. Incorrect focusing or faulty direction of the light beam I are other possibilities that should be checked by the careful driver.

Grower* have found that by picking annual flowers often and regularly they actually Increase the total yield from the garden over the length of the season. This is true of annuals because they have but one season in which to produce seed and they keep con stantly at the job of bearing flowers until adverse weather conditions call a halt. Two healthy, 20-foot rows of zinnia will provide treah bouquets regularly from early spring until mid-summer, if new blooms are picked every three or four days. Regular picking is not the sots means of increasing bloom, M course. Experience has shown that more abundant flowering may be induced by decreasing the amount and frequency of watering just M the flowers come into bloom. The term “picking flowers” is used here in a general sense, mean ing gathering or reaping. In tha exact sense of the word, most flow ers should not be picked or plucked. They should be cut — with a sharp knife, never with scissors. There are a few exceptions. Sweet peas, pansies, violas and nasturtiums may be picked. Sweet v peas should be broken from the ' plant where the flower stem springs from between the arms of the lull or “Y”. With the other three, fol low the stem as near to the teas of the plant as possible, and break it off. When using a knife tn gathering flower*, make a diagonal cut. This enables the flowers to take ■* water better and live longer tndows Hints for Homemakers , By Jan* Rogen K 9 ■ - ( KEEP a jar of chopped Brasil nuts In a cool dry place on your pantry shelf.
