RAYLE BRUCE O NE day a crippled lad wandered into a country store and thus accosted the proprietor: "Can I sell you some lead pencils today? I have some nice ones at 25 cents a dozen." The merchant sold pencils himself, and was therefore not a likely purchaser, but au business was not particularly rushing at that moment he indulged in a little good-natured chaff at the boy's expense. He examined the pencils carelessly and asked in feigned amazement, "What, 25 cents a dozen for these? I have a better pencil in stock that I sell for 15 cents a dozen," and he reached over to the show case and pulled out a package of pencils for which he had actually paid 45 cente a dozen only a few days before. The boy took them in hand, examined them critically, reached down into his pocket, passed 15 cents over to the proprietor with the remark, "I guess I'll take these," and calmly walked out of the store. Nor did the merchant stop him and explain that it was a joke. It was done in such a businesslike way and the youngster had taken it so seriously that he won the other's admiration and the merchant admitted in telling the story on himself that it was the best case of business instinct he had seen for many a day. The crippled boy had a quality in his makeup that meant success. This attribute was keen judgment or business acumen. He so quickly recognized the value of the pencils that he acted in his own interest at once. It is as important for the salesman as it is for the merchant that he should know how to determine vralues. In almost any business you can find employees who have grown gray in the service whose judgment of values has not grown with their years. Younger employees, with less experience, may have it. The latter have that inestimable treasure, business instinct .4 -the former never will have it. The latter will suc ceed in a business where buying and selling are the factors; the former will not. The man who has not in him the business instinct which makes him a judge of values had better get out of a business that calls for buying and selling and into another line of work where it is not required. a The newspapers at the present time are crowded with inducements and offers 3 Plan for of farms. The present cry is: "Back to the farm " Meetings are held, organiza Starting tions convene, all in order. to help the over C flow population to go to falming. The P Honest government opens lands, and, in fact, ev M en on erything is done to "boost" the country life. But who goes there? Who gets the Faorn land? Only people possessed of at least some means, like the farmer or the small 4 Whim I ar , Cu Mp merchant, who has a bank account after selling out. t4 The extremely poor man who longs for the country, who would joyfully till the soil, has to take a back seat. He has not the means to travel the distances or to acquire the first requisites. t I myself bought, years ago, ten acres in the east, intending to go there and raise small garden truck, but fate kept me here, until now, when, because of high expense, I am totally unable to go. The land is there, unused. So we see that with all their good intentions the different organize tions have not got at the root of the evil. There should be institutions which furnish to willing and honest men the first substantial means to start them on land which they own, taking such lands for a certain length of time as security for the amount received. There are thousands who could thus be happy to become farmers and h raise the food supply for the cities. The government should advance to those the means needed and not compel them to spend the little they have saved for traveling hundreds e of miles only to find out that their lottery ticket did not win. _Why do we hear the lament, "My hus- * band gets only $18 a week?" Does the Look one who utters it know that there are hun dreds of wives who would think they were Trouble "motoring through life" if they had so Squarely muy husband gets $12 a week and I have t in Eye three "kidlets," four years, two years and two months old.

We pay $12 a month rent, carry insuranee u on our furniture and our lives. We have a gas bill of $2 or more each month. We look our troubles in the face and laugh them away. We lae" no grocery bills nor butcher bills to bother us, for we pay cash as we go. Some day we expect to be better off in worldly goods. But till then we'll love, live and let live and when "the shock of our awakening" comes --we are still dreaming-and we "realise the conditions of life" we will - lean stronger on "the Great Love" and think wealth, health and happi ness, for as a man thinketh, so is he.
