PAGE THREE
FIGHTERS
The officers of a great chain of
stores were sitting at lunch, and
making good progress with their
business discussion when somebody
mentioned a forthcoming prize
fight
Instantly all business ceased; ev
ery man leaned forward eagerly to
present his view on the more en
grossing subject.
On another occasion I stopped at
the offices of J. P. Morgan and
Company to see one of the partners.
His secretary apologized. "You will
have to wait a few minutes," he
said. "They will be down from
lunch a little late today. They are
entertaining Gene Tunney."
One could write several different
kinds of comments on these inci
dents. One might, if piously inclined,
view with alarm the absorption of
the best business minds in a low
and brutal form of sport.
One might point out the interest
ing fact that at the top all winners
meet. Be the best in your line,
whether your line be prize-fighting
or banking, motion-picture acting
or preaching, and you may lunch
with Mr. Morgan. "Seest thou a
man diligent" (a top-notcher) "in
his business? He shall stand be
fore kings."
I prefer, however, to point a dif
ferent moral. Men attend prize
fights and entertain champions be
cause all the world loves a fighter.
People ask sometimes: "Why do
the richest men In the country keep
on working? Why don't they take
their millions and retire?"
Because the decision to keep on
working is not a decision of intel
lect. It lies much deeper than that.
Man was made for struggle. He
was cast by Providence into a hard,
unfriendly universe. The earth was
his enemy, and would give him no
food until he had scarred its face
with the undercuts of the plow, and
beaten it to helplessness with the
barrage of the harrow. "Fight, and
you shall live," says Nature. "Quit
and no matter how well you have
surrounded yourself with comfort,
you will soften and die."
I once made a visit with the late
George W. Perkins to a certain for
eign city. Nature has so favored it
that people can live with very little
effort and be in the sunshine all the
year round.
"How do you like this city?" I
asked him.
He answered: "It's full of men
who have run away from the game."
"When death come to me," said
old Stephen Girard, who was more
than eighty, "It will find me busy
unless I am asleep. If I thought
I was going to die tomorrow, I
should nevertheless plant a tree to
day." Planting a tree on the very last
day launching a new bit of life
a splendid last punch at the old
enemy, Death.
Penney Store Manager
To Attend Convention
J. D. Cash, Heppner manager of
J. C. Penney company, will leave
Sunday to attend the spring con
vention of the organization to be
held In Portland at the Multnomah
hotel. The conclave will be In ses
sion for a week.
Special interest Is being paid to
the convention meetings this year
because of the attendance of George
H. Bushnell, former first vice pres
ident, who resigned his position late
in February in order that he might
be relieved of the responsibilities
of the office which has has occupied
for the last ten years. He continues
as a director. Mr. Bushnell first
became" identified wtih the organiza
tion in 1911, when the general offices
were located in Salt Lake City. He
is considered one of the outstand
ing financial organizers of the mer
cantile world.
Lew V. Day, first vice president,
will be chairman of the convention,
which will be the fourth In a series
of 16, covering the eastern, central
and western sections of the United
States. Five meetings are to be
held in the west Attending the
16 meetings will be 1396 managers,
an increase of more than 400 over
the number attending the spring
sessions in 1929.
The first day will be devoted to
presentation of policies of the or
ganization, a general discussion of
future plans and a resume of the
past year. The remainder of the
week will be devoted to buying in
the various departments, represent
atives of the New York and St.
Louis general offices being present
to exhibit the various lines of mer
chandise. A banquet will be given
Monday evening, opening day, at
the Multnomah hotel, with Mr.
Bushnell as a guest of honor.

FLASHES
How to produce a light which air
men could see through fog has puz
zled electrical experts ever since the
problem of lighting flying fields at
night became important. "Lindy,"
flying across country, noticed that
the flashes of the electric arc pro
duced when a trolley pole slips off
the wire could be seen from the
air when no other light was visible.
He reported that to the General
Electric Company and the result
is a new flashing arc beacon, the
safest guide to night flyers yet
evolved.
Great inventions come often from
close observation of little things.
Col. Lindbergh is what he Is because
he notices little things.
PROMISES
Politicians deal in promises. Econ
omists deal In facts. Nobody loves
facts. Everybody loves promises.
That is why we listen to the poli
ticians and turn a deaf ear to the
economists. And because the poli
ticians seldom are able to make
good on their promises, we throw
them out and elect another set who
make even more attractive prom
ises. For ten years economists have
been trying to get Europe's finances
straightened out, following the war
Into which the nations went because
of what their politicians promised
them. The principal obstacle to se:
tlement of the war bills was the
promises of politicians made after
the Armistice. As Owen D. Young
pointed out the other day, politi
cians of France, England and Italy
promised they would make Ger
many pay $33,000,000,000. Now the
economists have got the war debts
finally settled. The most Germany
can pay Is $9,000,000,000. Her cred
itors have agreed to accept that
sum. Now the same politicians are
making other promises and their
peoples are believing them, in the
same old way.
ZEPPELINS
The airship Is coming into Its
own. Half a dozen great American
manufacturing industries, backed
by the National City Bank, have
arranged to manufacture commer
cial dirigibles of huge size, on the
successful Zeppelin design, in both
Germany and the United States. It
will be a year or more before the
first of these is ready for service,
but within five years we may look
to sec an immense volume of freight
and passenger traffic carried by air
In these huge ships. Meantime,
other Americans are experimenting
with allmetul dirigibles on a small
er scale, and those look promising,
cially young folk, who think there
is some short cut to fame and for
tune. They try to write stories and
poems, paint pictures, carve statues,
act leading roles on the stage or
make their fortunes in business,
without serving the long and pain
ful apprenticeship which always
precedes real success. It can't be
done.
Just now two young men who
broadcast a Negro comedy feature
every night are attracting world
wide attention. "Amos 'n Andy" are
reported to be drawing a salary of
$100,000 a year, so thousands of
young men who think that is easy
money are trying to break into
the same game.
The young men who are earning
a fortune for their ability as enter
tainers went through years of ill
paid, long-hour drudgery before
they became masters of their art.
So did every other great artist in
any line. So did every man or wo
man who has made a success in
business or industry. Young people
don't believe that. It was true when
the pyramids were built; it will still
be true when they have crumbled
into dust.

EUROPA
The fastest passenger ship in the
world is the new German kuropa,
which crossed from Cherbourg to
New York in four days, 17 hours
and six minutes. The next fastest
is the Bremen, also a German ship,
whlrh did the trip in only 17 min
utes slower time. There are only
three shins In the world larger than
the Europa and the Bremen. They
lsn were built in Germnny. They
are the Majestic, originally the Bis
marck, seized during the war Dy
r.rent Britain, the Leviathan, or
iginally the Vaterland, seized by the
United States, and tno ucrengiirm,
nrlu-lnnllv the Imnerator.
Commercially speaking, these big
fast ships are not profitable, hpeea
costs too much. But us advertise
nmnta nf their respective nations
thnv tiav larce dividends in good
will. Just now Germnny seems to
be getting most of It
DRUDGERY
The world is full of peoplo, espo-
"Let butter be the only spread
For your hard earned daily bread."
This slogan, submitted by Miss V.
Bunten, Portland high school girl,
took the first prize- of $10 In the
contest just conducted by the Ore
gon Buttermaker's association, at
tracting entries from all parts of
the state. Winners were announced

Mrs. T. J. Butler of Riddle was
awarded third place with "Health
for wealth, butter for health," and
George Jacobsen of Portland won
fourth with "For perfect health,
without, within; eat plenty of but
ter and you'll win."
Two other slogans entered late
by Ella Day, student at Oregon
State college, but considered wor
thy of cash prizes by the judges
are "Get your vitamin A In a pleas-
ng way eat butter, and "Butter
the golden road to health."
Judges were four members of the
executive committee of the associ
ation. These selected other slogans
from those submitted which will be
used with the prize winners for
printing on parchment slips to be
nsorted with each package of but
ter put out by creameries cooper
ating in the plan. Some of the bet
ter slogans chosen follow:
"Live Better on Butter.
"Butter Builds Better Bodies."
"Oregon Butter is Healthful be
Healthy."
"Buy butter It pays two ways:
health to you, wealth to your state"
You mny not own a dairy, nor
milk a single cow, but you do love
your children, so you give them
butter now."
