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.

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

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

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

one of the President's close friends
explained to me, "is that' even

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. It is literally true that when you "get
the facts you will get a Ford."

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

the progress of the community is retarded.
