PERSONNEL
The head of a trust company wag
describing the extraordinary
growth of their business.
More and more estates are pass
ing into the hand of trust com
panies. The capital funds of these
estates are invested not only in
bonds and mortgages but in the
voting stocks of the country's lead
ing corporations.
If the process goes on at the same
rate for another twenty-five years
the trust companies will control a
large proportion of the wealth of
the United States.
"Your problem is personnel," I
said to the banker.
"That's our only problem," he an
swered. "How are you solving it?"
"Well, we try to pick the smartest
young men from the colleges, men
who have majored in economics and
finance. We start them in at the
bottom and let them fight their way
up. Some drop by the wayside, but
the survivors develop into very good
men."
I told him I thought they were
omitting one very important step
in the process of training.
"After your young man has had
two or three years' experience in
the bank, you ought to pull him out
and send him into the heart of the
country," I said. "Make him spend
a year or two working on a farm,
or with a section gang on the rail
road, or clerking in a country store.
Insist that he live on What he earns.
"When he comes back to New
York he will have some idea of how
hard ordinary people have to work
for their money. He will have a
social, as well as a merely financial
point of view. A dollar will never
become merely a sign or a sum to
him. It will represent hopes and
fears, ambitions and defeats, hu
man sweat and blood."
When it came time for me to go
to college my father took me aside
and said: "You have planned to go
to Amherst, and I approve of the
plan. But I want you to take your
first year at Berea College in Ken
tucky, where I worked my way
through." He added a sentence
which I have never forgotten: "I
want your sympathies to be always
on the side of the men who have to
struggle for what they get."
It was a wise and fine thing for
a father to say to a boy.
I am one of those who believe
that we are entering a period of
great social changes. No matter
how big and strong an institution
or an industry may be it is going to
be tested. Those institutions will
win out which are headed by men
of broad human sympathies; men
who can see the other man's point
of view because they have shared
the other man's daily life.
It is a time of wonderful oppor
tunity for young men. But they
must get themselves education.
Not merely the education of
books; the greater education of
really knowing and liking their fel
low men.
GOLD
England was the first of the gold
standard' nations to announce that
its currency was no longer on a
gold basis. In other words, Eng
land could not get hold of enough
gold to pay its obligations in that
metal. In four days after the an
nouncement the English pound
dropped from a value of $4.86 to
$3.30. Sweden, Norway and Egypt
were, the next to suspend the gold
standard, and, as I write this, the
indications are that other European
countries will follow suit
The only two nations in the world
which seem able to maintain the
.gold standard are the United States
and France. England will undoubt
edly come back to it in time. The
economic effect of abandoning the
gold standard is, first to increase
prices of all commodities,, and sec
ond, to enable debtors who have a
gold credit that is to say, debtors
who can pay in francs or dollars
to pay their obligations at a dis
count If I owed 100 pounds in
Eugland a month ago it would have
cost me $486 to settle the bill. To
day I could pay that debt for
around $330.
Financiers and economists differ
widely as to the ultimate effect of
this situation on our American
prosperity. My own guess is that
it will not affect us very much.
SILVER
One effect of the general abandon
ment of the gold standard is to re
vive interest in bimetallism, which
was the big political issue in this
country in the 1890'a, '
The free silver movement had
back of it the huge debtor class of
Middle West farmers. They want
ed cheap money that is to say,
high prices to help them get out
of debt Cheap money is always
good for debtors, always bad for
creditors. There is a growing feel
ing today that some scheme to help
debtors should be tried. Certainly
if everybody could pay his debts
and start fresh the country would
be better off. That feeling lends
weight to the movement to restore
silver to its former position as a
basis of currency.
COPPER
Copper metal is down to 7 cents
a pound. Ten years ago It was
selling for three time that figure.
American copper mines are in dis
tress because of the development of
rich copper fields in Central Africa,
which have been connected with
the Atlantic coast by a new railroad
within the past -few months.
David Livingstone, the mission
ary explorer, found the Katanga
copper deposits in 1854, but it is
only within the last few years that
they have been worked with any
thing like efficiency. More recently
a much larger and richer deposit
of copper has been found a little
farther south, In Rhodesia.
Africa is now the world's great
est source of diamonds, gold and
copper. Geologists think that huge
deposits of iron, silver and alumin
um will eventually be found in the
Dark Continent. In another cen
tury there may be a rush of for
tune seekers to Africa which will
compare with the rush to America,
which began 400 years ago.
LEADER
I was glad to get the announce
ment that Ruth Bryan Owen will
again be a candidate for Congress.
If Mrs. Owen were a man, people
would be talking about her as a
statesman.
She is not the orator that her dis
tinguished father was, but she can
acquit herself better in debate than
half of the men in the House of
Representatives. Moreover, she has
a very keen and subtle sense of hu
mor, which is something which was
quite lacking in the makeup of Wil
liam J. Bryan.
Florida has a habit of sending
good representatives back to Con
gress term after term, nad I look
forward to seeing Mrs. Owens still
representing 'that state twenty
years from now.
The
tce ls Jin
With all Its pleasures and
sorrows, the race is run. To
the living remains the task of
fitting observance. Expert
assistance is needed. Not only
a faithful adherence to the
best practices but a sympa
thetic consideration for one's
feeling should follow. May
peace attend.

BUFFALOES
Do you want a buffalo? Ask the
Director of the National Park Serv
ice to give you one. Buffaloes have
increased so rapidly in the Yellow
stone National Park that Uncle
Sam wants to give away a hundred
yearlings. Anyone who wants a
buffalo for a pet, however, should
think twice. They do not make
good pets. It takes a very stout
fence to hold a buffalo in captivity
and practically all that are given
away will go to zoological parks.
It Is good news that the buffaloes
are increasing in numbers. Fifty
years ago there were literally mil
lions of them in great herds, but so
rapidly were they killed off that
there was a time that it was sup
posed that the buffalo was extinct,
like the passenger pigeon which
once flew over the Mississippi val
ley country in such huge flocks as
literally to darken the sunlight, but
of which there is not one living
specimen known today.

IN OREGON HOMES.
Eugene An unusual garden is
that of the Carl Gimple family of
Spencer creek community. Gerk
ins, lemon cucumbers, Savoy cab
bage, Danish ball head cabbage, red
peppers, garden huckleberries,
sprouting and heading broccoli,
vine peaches, dewberries, celery, are
some of the late vegetables and
fruits noted in this well cultivated
garden which came about because
Mrs. Gimple gave four of her chil
dren a few dimes for garden mon
ey. The youngsters studied the seed
catalog long and earnestly, accord
ing to Gertrude Skow, county home
demonstration agent, and have
shown much interest and skill in
More
genuine satisfaction
than any car
I ever owned"
THE FORD is good-looking. It
is safe. Comfortable. Speedy,
Reliable. Long-lived. Eco
nomical. Everything a good car
should be.
There is, too, an added something
about it that brings enthusiastic com
ments from every one who has ever .
driven a Ford . . . the joy it puts in
motoring.
"I have been a car owner continuously
for nearly 20 years," writes a motorist
connected with a leading university.
"During this period I have bought '
eleven new automobiles. Eight of the
eleven were in the middle-price field,
one cost three thousand dollars, and the
last is a Ford I purchased thirteen
months ago.
"In the light of this experience I can
say in all sincerity that I have derived
more genuine satisfaction from the
Ford than any car I ever owned. In
saying this, I am thinking in
terms of comfort, safety, driving
pleasure, ease of control and
economy. My next car will also be a
Ford because it will give me what I want
at a price I can afford to pay."
When you get behind the wheel of
the Ford and drive it yourself you will
know it is a truly remarkable car at a
low price. You will like it when you
first buy it. You will become more and
more enthusiastic the longer you drive it.
After thousands of miles of driving
you will say "it's a great car." Its econ
omy will save you many dollars.
