ARE ALL THE
CHANCES GONE?
You run across all sorts of sur
prises in the course of a business
week. For instance, the vice-president
of a big chain store organiza
tion was telling me a business story.
And what do you suppose he based
it on? The Bible.
He has charge of the company's
personnel. It is a job to sort over
a hundred young fellows in order
to find the one who will start at
small wages, work long hours, and
fight his way up to the top.
The prizes are big, but the bat
tle is hard, and only the toughest
survive.
The part of the Bible to which
the vice-president referred was the
Feeding of the Five Thousand. Five
thousand tired and hungry people.
The Lord said, "Feed them."
His disciples, who were practical
men, were aghast. "We can't do
It," they protested. "It would take
too much money."
Others urged: "Send them away."
Finally a boy was discovered in
the crowd with five small loaves
and two fishes. Said my friend:
"All they had to work with was
what tliut boy had."
"So with our company," he con
tinued. "It's one of the leaders,
yet there isn't a really brilliant
man in it. We've all come up from
the ranks.
"We can get money to do any
thing we need; but money alone
won't do it.
"We can get materials and equip
ment "But all we really have to work
with is what our four thousand
boys have. They are going to de
cide what this business will be in
the years to come."
When we had this conversation
business was booming and all big
industries were employing more
people. Since then we have had a
heart-breaking period of unem
ployment But, good times or bad times, the
search for ability goes on. At the
bottom of the depression the presi
dent of one great industry asked
me if I knew where he could find a
twenty-flve-thousand-dollar man.
The president of another said: "We
have installed a system of compul
sory pensions. We must make sure
that this business will continue in
the future to be run by young men."
The size and the set-up of busi
nesses change, but their message
to youth is just the same:
"Come on with your five loaves
and two fishes. All we have to go
on Is what you boys have."
Smith is on the New York State
Civil pension roll.
Much of the worry of middle age
would be eliminated if everybody
could look forward to a peaceful
old age not dependent upon charity.
Perhaps the incentive to thrift
would be Impaired, but I doubt that
And I believe that eventually some
such system will be adopted every
where. SEAPORTS
Chicago got greatly excited a
short time ago when the Swedish
freighter "Anna," with a cargo of
ENGINES
A young man named Cramer as
tonished the world the other day
by flying from Detroit to Greenland
without telling anybody that he
was going. The important thing
about that flight is that he didn't
use any gasoline. His engine is of
the Diesel type, which uses any
thing in the form of oil for fuel.
As he put it, he could fly It on but
ter or whaleoil if necessai-y.
The best gasoline engines today
are only 8 per cent efficient that
is, they utilize only 3 per cent of
the power in the fuel. Crude oil
engines of the Diesel type are more
efficient than that but still are far
from perfect. The next thing In
engines will be one in whicn tne
waste of energy necessary to con
vert reciprocal motion, into pro
tary motion will be done away with.
CONTRAST
The city of Chanute, Kansas, is
probably the most prosperous com
munity in America, if not in the
world. Its people pay no taxes
whatever.
The city of Fall River, Massachu
setts, is in the hands of a receiver,
because of inability to meet its obli
gations out of tax receipts.
Chanute gets enough revenue
from municlpally-owned gas, elec
tric and water utilities to pay all
the running expenses of the town
as well as support an airport and a
brass band. The ctiy is run by
business men. Fall River has been
run by politicians for generations.
The principal argument against
public ownership of public utilities
is that they would be run for the
benefit of the politicians instead of
for the benefit of the people. That
is not always the case, as Chanute
is proving.
PENSIONS
Today every man who served in
any of our wars before the World
War Is receiving a pension. Soon
all the World War veterans will be
on the pension roll. Employees in
ho civil nervine of the Federal
Government now get pensions at
the age ot 7U. Most siat.es proviue
pensions for dependent mothers.
Mnnv Btnlps have old-aue Denslon
systems. Nearly all school systems
now retire agea teacners on pen
nlnno fnnv Indimtrles rjension old
ntnnlnvMfl Firpmpn. nolicemen and
other municipal employees In the
big cities all get pensions after a
elven term or service. n.ven ai
Save the Little Pigs
Spend a little time and give
the sow a clean place In far
row in.
Sprinkle pens and runs
with a one per cent tar dip
solution.
Use clean dry straw for
bedding, not too much nor
too long.
DON'T use dusty bedding;
it causes pigs to cough.
See that sow's teats, sides
and legs are clean before pigs
are born so they will not
have sore mouths, bull nose,
sniffles and worms.

barbed wire and sardines entered

ish flag flying. It has long been Chi
cago's dream to become a seaport
Chicago enthusiasts picture a deep-
water channel from the St. Law
rence through the Great Lakes to
the very heart of the United States.
That is an engineering possibil
ity, but whether it would pay Is an
other question. Ocean transporta
tion is always a risky venture. Very
few ship-owners are making money
these days. The demand is con
stant for greater speed and quicker
"turn-around" between ocean ter
minals. The passage through any
inland waterway is necessarily
slow.
However, Chicago has set her
heart on becoming a seaport and
what Chicago goes after she usual
ly gets.
PARALYSIS
The East this year is having an
other epidemic of infantile paraly
sis. The West is compartively free
from this terrible scourge. It is
one of the few diseases of which
the exact cause is still unknown to
science, and for which no effective
preventive measures have been de
vised. Cure is uncertain, and com
plete recovery practically unknown.
While it cripples the bodies, espe
cially the legs, of its victims, in
fantile paralysis sometimes seems
to sharpen the brain. Governor
Roosevelt of New York was infect
ed by this disease, Which seldom
attacks adults, eight years ago. He
is able now to walk without leg
braces, with the aid of a couple of
canes, while his mind is as active
as ever. I know one girl who was
infected in the 1916 epidemic who
refused to be licked by her affile-

tion and has succeeded in estab
lishing herself as a fashionable
milliner, making annual trips to
Paris. One of the most seriously
crippled boys I ever saw, a victim
of paralysis at the age of seven,
graduated this year at the top of
his class in a western university.
It is small consolation to a moth
er whose child is deprived of its
normal physical life by infantile
paralysis, to realize that it still has
a chance to develop its mental ac
tivities, but there is always that ray
of hope.
Spring Grain Estimates
Cut; Pastures Are Poor
Sharp cuts in the government es
timates of spring grain crops, but
an increased output of some others,
compared to a month ago, are de
scribed in the August report on the
agricultural situation by the Ore
gon State college extension service.
Growing conditions in July were
especially unfavorable for spring
sown crops, pastures and ranges.
Approximately 400,000,000 bushels
were lopped off of the estimated
combined output of spring wheat,
corn, oats, and barley. Substantial
reductions were made In the pro
duction estimate for hay and po
tatoes. On the other hand, winter
wheat estimates were increased 7
per cent.
Unusually small crops of flaxseed,
hops and onions are expected. The

The condition of pastures for the
whole country on August 1 was the
poorest on record except for last
year and 1911, according to the re
port. Conditions were worst from
Ohio westward, with range condi
tions bad in several western states.
The high temperatures and dry
pastures caused more than the us

cow during July. Figures are given
in the report showing that although
3 per cent more butter was manu
factured during the first half of
1931 than a year ago, the excess
was all in the first four months.
Storage holdings of butter are
now substantially smaller than a

considerably lighter than a year
ago.
