HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUG. 13, 1931. PAGE THREE UCE-3ARTON LOOK AT THE AVERAGE One of my friends, who now oc cupies a high position, started life as a salesman for the National Cash Register company. He thought that if he could sell cash registers to Marshall Field it would be a big feather in his cap, and the example of this leading store would have influence with smaller merchants all over the country. So he called at Field's and made his talk, but received no encourage ment. The next year he called again . . . and the next . . . and the next The tenth year he came away with an order for $150,000. In telling me about it, he remark ed: "I said to myself, that's $15,000 worth of business for each of the ten years. Not a bad average at all." In 1929, when stock prices were crashing and even the richest men were feeling poor, a New York banker met a capitalist whose for tune, on paper, had shrunk many million dollars. He was in a blue funk. The banker said: "You ought to have learned better than this. Don't you remember back in 1920 how worried you were, and how you sent for me to reassure you? Even at present prices you must be worth ten times what you were then. If so, your average is mighty good. What are you kicking about?" A young man and young woman were married. After the ceremony the bride's father, a veteran busi ness man who had fought hard for his fortune, took then in his study. "I want to say just one thing to you," he remarked. "You must not expect that all your years will be good. You'll go along for a while without seeming to get ahead, but at the end of every year you'll own a little more furniture and have a few more dollars in the bank. Then there will come a year some time when you'll have a stroke of luck and make a lot of progress. You must expect to average the good with the bad." It seems to me that much of the Worry and fretting in life grow out of the fact that people do not take a long enough look. Every human life, at some point, has been handicapped and doomed to disappointment. At forty, Hen ry Ford had never saved a cent At forty-five, Lincoln was . a disap pointed politician. For twenty-five years. Charles Darwin worked day after day without the slightest rec ognition. Then, for each of them, there came a few great years that amply made up for all the rest. The law of compensation works for those who keep their industry and faith. Those who quit under discouragement are selling out at the bottom. For a majority of courageous lives, taking all the years together, the average is good. ( FRANK PARKER 1 SILVER If I had loose capital to Invest today I would buy silver. The metal is selling now at the lowest price in history, measured by the gold standard. In the money markets of the world last week it was under twenty-nine cents an ounce. The average price of silver for the past 50 years has been well above sixty cents an ounce; during and just af ter the war it touched $1.30. Silver Is certain to come back. The President of Mexico has Issued a decree restoring silver to its old position as money. One of the causes of the unrest in India has been the demonetizing of silver, and economists think that silver will be restored to its old position there. Anybody who buys silver now stands a good chance of doubling his money within three or four years, possibly sooner. And if he needs cash in the meantime silver Is a commodity on which an ex tremely high percentage of its mar ket value can always be borrowed. DAVIS Keep an eye on Norman H. Da vis, the gentleman who has just been appointed the American mem ber of the Finance Committee of the League of Nations. Mr. Davis has the confidence of financial lenders and of statesmen on both sides of the Atlantic to a degree approached by few other Ameri cans. A native of Tennessee, Mr. Davis was one of President Wil son's chief financial advisers in the peace negotiations. Then he came back to America, first as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, then as Under Secretary of State and for a time was acting head of the State Department. His new job is to guide the nations of Europe In fi nancial matters. Mr. Davis has never run for elec tive office, but if the Democrats elect a President next year or in 1936 I venture now the prediction that Norman H. Davis will hold a high position In the Cabinet or the Diplomatic Service. BAKER Another Democrat worth keeping an eye on Is Newton D. Baker. Lots of Democrats would like to see him President, but I don't think he will he , the party's nominee In jCE Made from PURE Artesian Water Morrow County Creamery Co. 1932. He will be heard from in the campaign, however, and will figure large in any Democratic adminis tration in his lifetime. Mr. Baker is, I believe, the most effective and convincing orator in American public life today. His ad dress last week before the Institute of Politics in Williamstown, Mass., was the clearest exposition of the present political-economic condi tion of the world that I have read. CHICAGO I met Anton Cremak, the mayor of Chicago, the other day. He doesn't talk or act like a profes sional politician, but like the busi ness man which he is. He has all the newsppaers of Chicago behind him in his efforts to "clean up" that troubled city, and that is something which no mayor has had in many years. And he is cleaning things up. Mayor Cermak is enthusiastic in his "boosting" of the World's Fair which is to be held in Chicago in 1933, commemorating the 100th an niversary of the founding of the city. Chicago itself is an exhibit which ought to draw millions of visitors. No city in history ever ac complished, so much or developed so attractively In its first hundred years as Chicago has done. I know of no great city where the common people have half as good a time as they do in Chicago, or get so much out of the public parks, play grounds and waterfront I know of no other great city which has as proud a civic spirit among all of its people. Nobody can possibly know America until he knows Chicago. TELEPHONE The radio telephone system across the Atlantic is working so well that the American Telephone & Telegraph company announces that it will soon begin telephone service across the Pacific. That will be another preventer of war. Without the trans-Atlantic tele phone President Hoover's program of international cooperation to re lieve Germany's economic distress could not have been carried out. It A DOLLAR WILL START A BANK ACCOUNT The balance of power is a bank balance, www Dace, properties and prestige are wiuttwt on folk who have n't also InhorlfaMl the qualit ies which won them. That's why thrones are pass ing from the picture and so many who mice silt in the lap of luxury are cocking eyes nt park benches. A knowledge of finance Is as Important to young folks as any part of their education. May their first lesson be In the bunk book. Farmers and Stockgrowers National Bank There Is No Substitute for Safety enabled the President to talk as freely to Secretaries Mellon and Stimson when they were in Paris and London as if they had been in Washington. "The difference between telephon ing and cabling in a case like this," one of the President's close friends explained to me, "is that' even when a cable message is put In se cret code there is a record of it, somewhere, and diplomacy makes It Impossible to express beliefs and opinions fieely or to tell the actual complete facts in all cases, since there is always the chance that the record will some day be unearthed and made public. But over the telephone everybody could say ex actly what they thought and there were no long waits for an answer." "If we had had tleephone facilit ies in 1914 as we have now," one statesman said recently discussing this episode, "the European war could have been averted." fTHtaote I for tt0 NMflC8 ovjneu Hart Rice Pudding 1 cup milk IVi tablespoons rice uncooked 1 teaspoons sugar Few grains salt.

Bumpen and ipare tire extra at low coil.) WHEN you buy a Ford car today, you buy what is unquestionably the greatest value in the history of the Ford Motor Company. Never before has so much beauty, comfort, safety and performance been offered at such a low price. The low price of the Ford is something to think about because it means an immediate saving of many dollars always an important consideration. But far more significant than price alone is what you get for that price. When high quality is combined with low price, you may justly take pride in having found a most satisfactory purchase. See the Ford ride in it learn something about the value that is built into every part. The more you know about it, the more certain you will be that it is the cur for you.

JAMES CARTY. SHIP AND More than 2,000 Oregon Homes owned by Union Pacific Employees iHEEE is no factor that contributes more to the permanence of a community than home ownership. Two -thirds of the 3,413 Union Pacific families in Oregon own the homes they occupy, and Union Pacific em ployees thus add tremendously to the solid foundation upon which Oregon's progress is built. Union Pacific employees prosper directly in proportion to the prosperity of the Railroad. If unregulated forms of transportation are allowed to undermine the Railroad's reve nues, the Railroad personnel is affected, and the progress of the community is retarded.
