Rockefeller's Idea. Don't Be a Dim Bulb. Thin Prosperity. By Arthur Brisbane ' (Copyright 1927 by Star Company) HODGE. Calif. Lindbergh world's champion flyer, landed in Mexico City Wednesday af ternoon, notifies the world that young men in this country know how to fly. in spite of the fact that their government does not yet realize the importance of flying. The news of his iat- , est triumph delights the scat tered population of this Mo jave desert, as it does great crowds in cities. . J Other governments, know ing that Lindbergh is typical of ' American youth, and that there are 10,000 Lindberghs ready to run American machines, will want none of our non-stop flights aimed in their direction, with hostile intent, and will avoid provoking such flights. . Lindbergh's flying example is making converts here in Cali- fornia rapidly. J. L. Stack, who used to play polo and follow the hounds at Chicago's On wentsia Club, before he was fifty, has bought a duplicate of Lindbergh's plane arranged to carry five, and uses it com muting from Los Angeles to his shooting lodge near Sacramen to with his I I -year-old son, two friends and q pilot. He makes the 500-mile trip in nbout five hours. Other men, giving up polo (should "retire" to a flying ma chine, not to an easy chair nnd encourage aviation. Every builder of a fast plane renders a service to his country. The United States Gypsum company, with offices in twen ty cities and twenty-two mines and mills in fifteen states, has this good idea. All headquar ter managers devote two hours from 9 to I I a. m. to "conpen tration." They allow no inter ruption except in emergencies. From I 1 to 5 they see subordi nates and business visitors gen erally. Each manager has at least two hours a day for real thinking. John D. Rockefeller had that idea many years ago. One of his local managers, pointing proudly to a desk loaded down with papers, said to him,' "A , lot of detail, but I shall get through it all by night." Mr. Rockefeller, quoting that, said to his directors, "I want all im portant managers in our organ ization to sit with their feet up on clear desks, thinking how they can make more money for Standard Oil." They made it, with Rockefeller's direction, and now he spends it usefully, fighting disease and ignorance. To get ahead remember that thinking comes first; the rest is secondary. Learned professors in the University of Southern Califor nia, say that slang, within rea son is good. It makes students select their expressions instead of using them automatically, to call your friend or "dim-bulb" I is better than saying to your I brother. "Thou fool" and it means the same. Use of slang "makes a dent in the brain" and causes thought, says one professor. It also takes the j place of thought, but that is' too long an argument. Language that is now "hieh brow" was once slang. The first man to call his friend "sincere" which means in Lat in "without wax," or "pure honey," used "dim bulb" lan guage. Slang says that a man with an easy job, "has it soft." That ancient that invented "sincere." meaning "without care," talked about the same language. But young people should re (contmued on page 4.) SEVEN CARS OF Ties SENT OUT OF COUNTY Growers Will Receive More Than $60,000 This Season. PRICE 35 CENTS TODAY Cars Being Loaded at Oak land, Yoncalla and Rose burg Retail Mar-- ket Unstable. Douglas county turkey growers have already received approximate ly ?C0,000 for the birds Placed ou the Christmas market with several carloads still to be sold, according to a survey made today. Birds pur chased earlier in the week were shipped out last night, three cars being loaded at Oakland and one ut Roseburg consigned to whole salers at Los Angeles. Three cars are being loaded today, one each I at Roseburg, Oakland nud Yon- cana, an (lit is possible that anoth calla, and it is possible that ailoth Creek. In addition to the shipments by freight there have been two auto truck loads, approximating 10,000 pounds each sent out to Portland, Tacoma and Seattle markets while perhaps as much as half a carload hus been sent out In express 'lots. While the price hus been a dls- I appointment to growers, yet ' there lias been considerable profit this year, and the good effect of the In dustry is already being felt I IhWtiiirhntif Mm emmtv 'Churn h.u been " considerable variation in price, but buying has hugely been at 35 cents, the prevailing price today. Some contracting was done earlier in the season at 38 cents, but on the open market the bulk of the buying has been at 35 cents. This price, it is expected, will put the birds up to 4'i or 45 centB for retail. ' Owing to the uncertainly of the retail market the buyers this yeur nave been very wary. Several times buyers started to purchuse birds only to be called ou' by the wholesalers they represented. This situation resulted immediately in a break in price and the establish ment of the 35 cent level which prevailed in the buying today. He ports from the city markets show a very unstable condition there. Portland Market Down FORTLA-ND, Ore., Dec. 16. Turkey prices on the local whole sale market took a decided set back today following the sale ot several carloads at Roseburg yes terday. Ruling prices in Portland today are from 35 to 38 cents with supply comparatively light. Deal ers here are rather non-committal on what prices they think will pre vail as the holidays draw nearer although a bearish outlook seems to predominate. Reports from rais ing centers indicated that an un usual supply of first class turkeys is available. Other classes of poul try were in good demand with prices holding steady. Country dressed meals are firm today with a slightly stronger tone iu the poi-K division. Choice light hogs are mov ing easily between 131 and 14c while veal is firm around 17 and 18c. Lambs are still inclined to weakness, most sales being around 20c. Butler and egg prices are un changed toduy ou the dairy ex change board with demand picking uo a bit. Eggs are inclined a ton firmer as a result of a steadier tone in eastern markets yesterday. Conditions on the fruits and pro duce market today are little chaneed. The onion market is quiet al though prices are firm between $2.1)0 and 12.25 for best U. S. No. 1 quality. Cabbage Is moving In large vol ume and the price is somewhat easier. Late frosts have not dam aged crops as much as. was feared and young cabbage In the field is doing well. Ruling prices are around 1 to 2.
