SLIDE LINES
This is the business record of
John Smith, who is now forty-one.
He started work on a newspaper,
and while he was there, he pieced
out his income by selling real-estate.
Then he transferred into the bond
business and sold insurance on the
side.
He is now selling wall-paper,
which, according to him, is such a
poor job that he has to carry sam
ples of floor-wax and a patent at
tachment for radiators In order to
keep going.
John is honest and hard-working.
His complaint about the meager re
turns which the business world has
given him caused a friend of mine
to make an investigation. It re
vealed the following facts:
One of the men who started on
the newspaper with John Smith is
now part owner of the paper and
has an income of more than twenty
five thousand dollars a year.
Real-estate has steadily advanced
in the city where John Smith played
with real-estate as a side-line, and
a number of real estaters, no older
or smarter than John, are now very
well-to-do.
Both the insurance business and
the bond business have prospered in
John's old town, providing automo
biles and comfortable homes for
several men who were formerly his
colleagues.
As for wall-paper, I myself hap
pncd to be riding with the sales
FRANK PARKER 1
STOCKBRIPCE ,
BAKER
George F. Baker celebrated his
ninetieth birthday the other day.
He is still the active head of the
First National Bank of New York,
one of the world's greatest financial
institutions, in which he owns a con
trolling interest.
George Baker was a country boy
on Cape Cod when he heard his
uncle tell about lending money out
at Interest. It struck the boy as a
new idea that you could make your
money work for you. He resolved
then to go into the business of
making money earn money.
He has never been a speculator, a
promoter or anything but a banker.
Every other banker in New York
looks up to him and relies upon, his
judgment. He never made a speech.
He says that most of the talking
people do is unnecessary. But when
he says "no" to a man who wants to
borrow money from him it is as
convincing as if he had talked for
an hour.
"HICKS"
I went to a movie theater the
other night and saw a "comedy"'
which made me boil.
It was a "talkie" taken direct
from the vaudeville stage, and it
represented the people of a country
town in caricature and costumes
which might have been worn forty
years ago, and with manners, dia
lect and habits which prevail no
where In the United States today.
I live a good part of the time and
vote at every election in a country
town of a few hundred inhabitants.
It is distinctly rural, yet its people
are as up-to-date in their clothes
and as correct in their manners and
speech as well-bred people in any
city: much more so than the gen
eral run of New Yorkers. Yet New
York and the other cities get their
impression of small towns from
such movies as this one.
No wonder they call village folk
"hicks." Thoy forget that the men
who head the business enterprises
of their cities New York, Chicago,
and all the rest nine times out of
ten grew up In these country vil
luges and have proved themselves
better than city-bred folks in the
competitive game of life.
MOVIES
According to Mr. Will H. Hays
nrealdnnt of the Association of Mo
tion Picture Producers, the movies
are going to clean themselves up
again. They are going to eliminate
indecency and suggestiveness, in
centives to vice and crime and
about everything else that censors
hnve obiected to.
That is all very good as far as It
mips, but it doesn t go far enough
Whnt the movies need more than
anything olse is some relation to
rpnl life. Their real danger to the
young is the false Impression they
give of the way In which people of
different kinds and classes act and
live.
Elmer Rice has written a book,
"A Voyage to Purilia," in which he
satirizes the movie standards of
truth, morals and ethics. It Is a
book which everyone concerned
with the training of children ought
to read and profit by
HOUSING
The British government propose
to rebuild all of the unsanitary
dwellings In the British Isles. The
program will take forty years. Own
ers can be compelled, under this
plan, to tear down old houses and
rebuild them.
We rebuild everything every forty
years. That is the average life of
a building In America. Many dwell
ings are much older than that; I
manager of a wall-paper company
a few days after hearing John's
story.
"I understand your business is a
poor business," I said. "Does any
body ever make a really good thing
tmt of it?"
Said he: "Old Adrian Meeker is
the best answed to that. He worked
for us as a salesman for twenty
years. Hard territory his was, too.
The other day he retired with one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
and took his family out to Califor
nia." So It seems that each of the bus
inesses which John Smith tried on
the side has been very good to the
people who stayed with it on full
time.
J. C. Penney told me the other
day about a young man who might
have ben one of his first partners.
The young man played the trom
bone and was compelled to leave
the store early every night because
he made five dollars a week by
tooting his horn in an orchestra.
He is still tending store in the day
time and tooting at night. Mr. Pen
ney is the head of more than eight
hundred stores.
There are men who made for
tunes by running bootblack stands,
by buying junk from automobile
factories, and even by contracting
with a city to collect its garbage.
Almost any business seems to be a
good business if a man gives it all
he's got.
But the side-line is the slide-line.
live in Winter in one that was built
in New York about 100 years ago
and in Summer in a farmhouse that
is 144 years old. But ideas of con
struction, sanitation and the util
ization of space change so rapidly
that most people want a new house
every twenty years or so.
DIET
Members of Congress are eating a
new diet, recommended by Dr. J. W.
Calver, the physician to the House
of Representatives, as being the
best food for brain-workers in
warm weather. One of the popular
new diet dishes is served on a single
plate in the House restaurant and
consists of raw carrots and raw cab
bage, chopped small and served in
tomato jelly, rye toast, Philadelphia
cream cheese, a baked apple and
either tea, coffee, milk or butter
milk. The tea is served with lemon
and one lump of sugar, the coffee
is half milk.
The realization that people who
take no exercise should not fill
themselves with starches and meat
Is becoming general.

Good Future Foreseen
In Frozen Pack Fruit
The frozen pack method of pre
serving strawberries, raspberries,
loganberries and to some extent
sour cherries, in small containers
for domestic use offers considerable
promise in the opinion of H. C.
Diehl of the department of agricul
ture, commenting on frozen pack
experience in the Pacific northwest
last year.
Primary requisites of a satisfac
tory pack in small containers, he
says, are fully matured, clean, well
graded raw material; a fruit mass
covered with syrup or sweetened
juice and having an attractive col
or, free from fading or surface dis
coloration; quick cooling and ade
quate freezing; agreeable texture,
flavor and aroma; absence of sur
face mold, fermentation or decom
position; an attractive package that
is satisfactorily full when thawed
and is tightly sealed.
Burton Hutton, who represented
the Pendleton East Oregonian in
Morrow county and had headquar
ters in Heppner until about two
years ago, became a Royal Arch
Mason, being initiated into the lodge
at the grand chapter sessions in
Corvallis last week.
