HEALTHFUL
i The opinion of .an eminent physician concerning the health
fulness of winter weather deserves consideration by all those
interested in good, bad and indifferent health. And who is
not? '
Except for the smoke products that are belched from the
chimneys,' and which sometimes hover over whole commun
ities like fogs, winter weather is cleaner than that which
humanity breathes at any other time of the year. For this
condition two climatic factors are responsible.
Perhaps the most important of the two is the northwest
cold-wave wind. Born in circumpolar latitudes, it comes from
a region uncontaminated with smoke and soot and other
corruptions of civilization. It comes from high altitudes as
well as from high latitudes.' As it rolls down from, wilderness
It gives that part of Mother Earth over which it spreads a
thorough cleansing.
j The meteorologist, who declared it to be the greatest asset
of health that large areas of the United States receive, did
not exaggerate its importance. Humanity does not breathe
cleaner and more health-giving air; incidentally, there is no
such thing as pure air in the natural state.
The second factor insuring the healthful conditions of
winter is the snowstorm. Snow coivibs the dust and other
impurities from the air even more effectively than does a
shower of rain. Moreover, it seals decaying organic matter
on the ground, and when the ground is blanketed with snow
there is no dust being stirred up for people to breathe.
. Winter climate indoors, however, is quite another thing.
With so much purer and healthier air outdoors, why do so
many people endanger their health by hibernating with the
first cold blast?
CLOTHES AND SUCCESS
. Clothes may not make the man. but they go far in the
making of a salesman. The public largely judges a book
by its cover.
A department store executive sized up a salesman who was
not producing up to store standards. Instead of firing the
employe, he increased his salary and told him to spend the
increase for clothes. Good clothes made him a valuable
salesman,
Similar views about clothes are held by Miss Pyrtlo, presi
dent of the National Education Association, but she turns to
the teaching profession to illustrate her point. She says
that the best-dressed teacher will accomplish most with her
pupils. Boys and girls are critical of the personal appear
ance of their teachers.
Is it not tho dowdy teacher who is caricatured ou the
blackboard, "made faces at"
brunt of every mischievous trick the adolescent wind is cap
able of concocting? The well-dressed teacher doesn't have to
sell education the sloven cannot. !
More professional men than are aware of it owe their out-'
standing success to immaculate and professional attire and a '
commanding physique and confidence-winning physiognomy. !
1o say that failure makes men
before the horse.
Antiquity subscribed to a kit
ing tnat a line woman can
carelessness in dress is becoming to a man" and that "ugly
woman, finely dressed, are the uglier."

ant part in the recent national or
ganization perfected by 34 cooper
ative wool marketing organisations
and Is a- recognized authority in
thts particular line. Because of
that fact his address of more than
an hour this morning, with its
practical value to tho grower
whether his sheep were on tho
ringe or on the farm, was heard
with quite unusual interest and en
thusiasm. Mr. Ward spoke fint on coop
erative marketing in general, point
ing out the fact that funning in
terests havo not kept apace with
other industries, and while in prac
tically ull other fields an era of
consolidation has been passed, the
farmer is where he was 30 or 40
years ago, ns far as marketing his
produce is concerned. He showed
how the period of the chain stores
followed naturally that of the con
solidation of the producing organ
izations, this means of distribution
bringing to the ultimate consumer
a decreased price, according to, his
thinking. "This movement found
the farmer standing right where
he stood 35 years ago," lie said.
Air. W.rd expressed himself as be
ing Of tho opinion that the mass
production as being stressed in
some sections, where numerous
farms were being run under one
management, would never bo suc
cessful. Malntalnln gtho farm fam
ily fn a home on the farm was the
great bulwark of tho whole; In
dustry he believed, and any move
which would tend to destroy this
farm home, as he believed this
mass movement would do, wo.uld
meet with discouragement on all
sides.
Twelve thousand, five hundred
cooperatives last year handled two
and a hair billion dollars in prod
uc'tH, according to the speaker, and
great benefits were derived from
this mass distribution system. "C"o
niiernllve marketing cannot raise
tho price far above the price es
tablished by ihe law of demand
and supply," Mr. Ward stated, but
it can stabilize a market and give
tho. farmer the benefit over the
fluctuations of a period of years.
I'Yom the general Mri Ward went
to, his own particular field, that
of cooperative marketing of wool.
Ho described the buying, grading
and selling processes showing
throughout the distinct advantage
to all wool growers in this method
Of disposing of his wool. He
stressed the fact that very soon,. if
not nt the present time, there
would bo a surplus of wool, and
then the careful handling of the
huslwv connected with the dispo
sition of the fleece would be neces
sary. Ho pointed out that during
the past seven years there had been
an increased production of 100 mil
lion pounds of fine wool. With

to squeeze out that night, but the

satisfy him. Sunday the two of

about 2 a. m. today that Baker
started sawing again.
Search revealed that Baker had

We are all human vc like friends and friendly understanding. And
it would be a rather sorry way to live if we had no one with whom we
could discuss our good fortunes and nur misfortunes, our experiences and
our ambitions.
And since money affairs are personal affairs, the banker's job should
be a friendly one. If a widow, discussing her investments, wants to buy
doubtful-looking oil stock, the banker can advise her against it and still
be friendly. As a matter of fact, he would not be a friend if he didn't.
And if a man wants a loan that would involve his future and jeopar
dize depositors' and stockholders' money, the banker who shows the error
of such a request is doing the only friendly thing he can do. Your per
