Armour, third, began re cently his work In the hog pens of the Chicago stock yards. There hiB family's fortune got its start. He re ceives no favors, and works Hke any fcwede or Hungarian. He is learning the business from the ground up. Not every son of wealth thus goes through the mill. After college he may get several yearB of leisurely and luxurious travel. Then he will be put to work at some nominal of fice position In the business. His heart Is not In big ledgers or month ly reports, but on the golf links or steam yacht. Why should he work, with no need of earning money? And if he feels this way, what becomes of moral fiber? The son of wealth who Is willing to take bold In the hog pen must have fine stuff In him. The posses sion and spending of money can not wholly satisfy him. Probably he wanU the thrill of doing something himself, rather than merely taking what others hand out to him. The young Croesus In the mill has one advantage that Is denied the poor toy. He gets the chance to learn every department. The poor boy must do some task over and over again. Only by luck can he get any broad conception of the Industry. This blocks most men's path to suc cess. Much labor friction could disap pear if every son of wealth were put to work beside the men. His father has felt the weariness of hard labor. He has seen at close range what life's struggle really means. To the boy who simply handles checks and re ports and credits, the mechanic Is a remote and alien creature. He Is a nere business fact, raw material to be bought and sold like iron and leather. He can't get his point of view. Phil Armour and those like him will not merely get a better prep aration for business success, they will Also see and hear things concerning the working world that they ought to know about. ANOTHER WORD ABOUT MISS CAVELL. The finite human mind can not Brasp the Infinite horrors of the war. Days come when the dead and wounded litter the battle front by thousands.' We read the figures. They have no meaning. We can not picture thousands of tortured human lelngs writhing between the trenches among the unburled dead. We read of the slaughter In Armenia, and are robbed of the power to think at all. It Is infinite wickedness which we (an not understand. But Mies Cavell Is shot and we are thrilled with horror. Ten thousand Englishmen Join Kitchener's army. The war becomes personal. We can think In terms of one. After all, It's fortunate for us we can not thing on all this fearful slaughter In terms of one. It would be deadly to us. Herbert Quick, who seems now to bo pretty well deserving to be called Herbert Quack, Is turning his apti tude for yellow journalism on the army and navy, and is writing some exceedingly silly stuff about the ques tion of preparedness. One of his last senseless articles 1b a spasm on the question of good roads. According to Herbert, good roads would be a tremendous danger from a military standpoint unless we at once equipped the largest army In the world. It's easy for the elevator man to go up In the world but at the end of each day's work he's down and cut. ORGANIZING A BUSINESS. (Edward A. West, Efficiency En gineer P. R. L. & P. Co.) ' ' Many organlxations are what might be termed "accidental." A small concern expands and grows and as the growth Increases the numbers of officers needed for Its management increases. Instead of following a definite policy during the growing stage, the duties and responsibilities of officials and subordinates are of ten fixed by hurried conclusions oc casioned by the urgent demands of rxpansion. Organizations built up In this man ner go through severe disruptive ex periences every once in a while, the tttenipt being made to shake things c!own to a proierly co-ordinated whole. j In considering any type of organ ization a careful and comprehensive ptudy is necessary of its component ii.arts. There is always a reason for i the existence of each part, but often duplication and wasted effort exist due to lack of a proper balance be tween the various units. Responsibility unwisely distribut ed, lack of co-operation between In dividuals, is the source of some of the greatest economic wastes In busi ness. Definite functions assigned indi viduals, after careful consideration ot the entire organization, is the wis- st way to regulate wastes. Definite functions, however, can not be assigned until the personal fitness of each individual has been determined. In making organization studies, bnly such persons should be delegat ed the task who are capable of giving the matter unbiased consideration pbsoultely unhampered by associa tion, responsibility or authority. The Ideal organization must pro vide for these three main functions: Money must be provided, the product must be manufactured or made ready for sale, and the product must be made available for delivery and then sold. THE OFFICER AND THE MAN. In these days when quite a large number of people are apparently en joying a full-grown case of hysteria over unpreparedness It Is dangerous to check up a man's former utter ances regarding the army and navy. In a recent issue of Collier's, Owen Johnson has an Interview with Gen eral Joffre, commander of the French army. He quotes the French general as saying "Our soldiers are treated as Intelligent human beings, capable of thinking for themselves." Johnson then works in a few edi torial views about America's unpre paredness, and one can hardly help from thinking of the articles pub lished a few years ago by Colliers relative to the treatment of Ameri can soldiers by the regular army of ficers. These articles and many oth ers in other publications seem to have demonstrated beyond question that the theory of the West Point of ficer Is to make a machine of the soldier and that for them to expect to be treated as human beings is really a crime. The French general, he points out, is arbitrary and dic tatorial, and this also Is the attitude of the German officer towards his troops, yet possibly the soldiers of no other country of this world are treated with less consideration and more open contempt by their officers than those of Uncle Sam's army. NOT FOR QUITTERS. Expert advice Is always acceptable to intelligent people. - Here's a little from John Wanamaker, a merchan dising expert: "If there is one thing on earth that a quitter should leave severely alone, it is advertising. To make a success of advertising one must be prepared to stick to it like a barnacle on a ship's bottom. Ad- ertlslng doesn't jerk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It is likened to a team pulling a heavy load. A thousand spasmodic, jerky pulls will not budge that load, while one-half the power In steady effort will start it and keep It moving." AM (Ml IJf JACKSON COUNTY Here now In beautiful Ashland, How warm the sun does shine; How frosty and how gloomy, Back in the eastern clime. Here the land is so productive, That after a warm winter's rain, Fence posts take to sprouting, And become trees again. You might think I am fibbing Blowing a land office born, But our ranchers must use ladders To get down their corn. There Is now on exhibition At an Ashland grocery store, Cabbage beads, squash and turnips, Each weighing twenty pounds or more. Come to fine old Jackson county, Here is big money keeping bees; You are not pestered by musquitoos, Are never bitten by fleas. Oliver Wiser. A TIP FROM THE BUTCHER. Says Mrs. Gait's butcher: "She can tell the difference between a sirloin and a porterhouse steak; between a tender roast and a tough one. She liever carries a. memorandum with her and yet she knows exactly what she wants." We have heard from everywhere praise of the bride-to-be of the presi dent. But it strikes us that of all of it we like what the butcher says best. Young men of today who are con templating matrimony will do well to heed what the butcher gays about the future first lady of the land. We are still old-fashioned enough to believe that the wife who Is a poor cook and a careless buyer is responsi tie for a great many wrecks in the ea of matrimony. RETURN OF THE POTATO Having gone back to many beloved antiquities, because we have proved them good, we now return to the old potato masher. Once upon a time the doll-shaped wooden masher adorned every pan try. But, a decade ago, woman went adventuring after alluring presses and choppers, and she soon found that it takes five minutes to clean a rerforated metal utensil, while she can wash up the old wooden friend in 8 minute. In short, woman now insists on the simplest ways of working, be they old or new. Too much diligence Is often as wasteful as dawdling. It is the quick, forceful, direct process which destroys domestic drudgery. , When a murderer was hung re cently before the usually morbid crowd at Fort Worth, Texas, the on lookers got more than they bargained for In the way of morbid thrills. When the trap was sprung the force cf the drop jerked the victim's head from his body. Blood spurted over those standing near and ' the head swung grewsomely from the noose while the body dropped through the trap. Several of the spectators swooned, and we will guarantee few of the spectators who looked upon seeing a hanging as an "experience" will ever attend another. An exchange asks why It Is that "Dixie" is so popular in New York theatres and cafes. Many people seem to think that "Dixie" originat ed in the south. The author of ' Dixie" was born, reared and died in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. "Dixie" was written in New York city and first piven to the public there. We sympathize somewhat with Arnold Bennett. Arnold Bennett declares that to him the peril most to be dreaded Is the sin ot thinking without writing, but after reading some of his stuff it seems to us he ought to change this into the sin of writing without thinking. We would suggest to Henry Ford that when he drafts his submarine he better arrange to have a parade deck. It might be built on the same principle used for street cars, hav ing the side steps fold up. Neverthe less, a naval vessel without a parade deck Is an Impossibility. Government expert engineers of Packard and Ford companies, and other authori ties, declare oil from asphalt-base crude hat greatest efficiency. And it was on tfficitney that Zerolene, the oil made from California asphalt-base petroleum, was awarded highest competitive honors, San Franciico and San Diego Expositions.

Have you a little fairy in your home? This time.ove do not mean fairy soap, but real, wide-awake, happy little boys and girls who would brighten any home with their spontaneity, and who 'would reflect (he wholesome, affectionate atmos l.here of your borne. It Is really just a matter of selec tion, if you have a good home and desire to share It with a less fortun ate little boy or girl. And yet when you come to select, it is a difficult matter, for there are Ira, and Mike, end Ambrose and ever so many other boys. Ira is dear. He is olive-skinned, has soft eyes, and is very lovable. Mike is our baby. He is little and has been sick because he was not properly nourished before be was committed to the institution. When be was beginning to get better bis nurse tried to arouse his Interest by talking to him about Christmas. "Santa Claus never comes to me," he Informed her with pathetic de cision. "But if he should come this time," she' coaxed, "what would you like?" "Peanuts," was his simple request. "They're long," he added wistfully. Ambrose is a fine looking lad and does remarkably well in his school work. He promises to be well worth while. There are girls,, too thirty of them. Claudia is eight, but small for her age. Somehow she reminds one of the timid things of the woods. She is quick in her movements, keen in her intellect, and there is something iasclnatlng and eluslvely artistic in her healthy pallor and her straight, brown hair.

The Evidence is Convincing The Testimony Open to Investigation. Before a statement can be accepted here It must be supported by local testimony by the evidence of some one residing in Ashland. Statements from unknown people in remote places may be true, but we cannot prove them. Here Is a statement by an Ashland resident: Allen Davis, 137 First street, Ash land, says: "A bad attack of kidney and bladder trouble came on me. It was so sudden and hard that I thought I was done for. My back ached and when I .tried to pass the kidney secretions I bad such terrible pains that I could hardly stand them. The flow of the kidney secretions was scanty. After suffering a number of days I got two boxes of Doan's Kid ney Pills, as I had seen them adver tised for such cases. They proved a Godsend and restored me to good health." Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Davis had.
