ADVISE TO YOUNG MEN
Condon Globe Tim es
T he advice of R obert J. B urdette
to the young men of a generation ago
is as good today as it was 4 0 years
ago, and it w as never more tim ely
than today
the N orthw est is about
to harvest the greatest grain crop
since w heat was invented.
Rem eem ber, m y son. you have to
w ork— w h eth er you handle a pick or
a pen. a w heelbarrow or a set of
books, d iggin g d itch es, or ed itin g a
new spaper, rin gin g an auction bell,
w ritin g funny th in gs you m ust work.
If you w ill look around you w ill
see th e men w ho are most able to
live th e rest of th eir lives w ith ou t
work are those who work the hardest
D on’t be afraid of k illin g your
self w ith overw ork— it is beyond
your power to do th at on the sunny
side of 30— they die som etim es, but
it is because th ey quit work at 6 p
m: and don't get home u n til 2 a. m.
Its the interval th at k ills, my son.
The w ork, gives-you an appetite for
your mealq— it lends solid ity to your
slum bers— it gives you a gratefu l ap
p reciation of holiday.
There are young inen who do not
work— but the w orld is not proud of
them . It know s not their nam es even,
t sim ply speaks of them as “Old So-
md So’s boys.”
So find out w hat you w an t to be
in d do, and take o ff your coat and
nake a dust in the world. The bus
or you are the less harm you are apt
to get into— the sw eeter w ill be your
sleep, the brighter and happier your
holidays, and the b etter satisfied w ill
he world be w ith you.
“ I have no information that leads me to believe there will be any reduction
of coal rates this season.”
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, »ays:
“ I have taken up the question with the Interstate Commerce Commission
and they informed me that they do not anticipate any reduction in coal
rates in the immediate future. ”
E. Morn», Chairman of the Central Freight As»’n,»ay»:
“ Under existing conditions, no general reduction in the freight rates can be
justified or made effective. ”
The above statements from men who know should
dispel the expectation that the present level of freight
rates on coal will be lowered this season. Any furth
er delay in buying on this account, therefore, can
iriean nothing but trouble.
The coal mines cannot produce and the railroad
cannbt transport a year’s coal requirements in four
or five months. What is sought by coal operators,
railroads and dealers, and what is for public welfare
is a normal demand and movement of coal—Not a
delay till winter and then an overwhelming rush.
In your own interest- BUY YOUR COAL NOW.
