Did You Ever Stop
To Think
THAT shrewd radical propaganda and bit-by-bit tearing
down process on (he behalf of chronic knockers in some
cities, are having an effect.
THAT these knockers get much assistance from "par
lor bolshevists and economy experts.
'ITIAT in some cities, the live citizens doze a little too
long before waking up to the situation that has devel
oped. THAT these live citizens should now wake up and pep
up and by united e:Tort, SWAT THE KNOCKERS AND
CLEAR UP THE TRACK AND GO AHEAD. KEEP
YOUR CITY MOVING FORWARD.
THAT every day you can see ads telling of good things
to buy. Bargains that you are looking for. Merchan
dise of undeniable high character at prices that will
warrant you in making selections for your present and
future use.
TUAT you hhuuld patronize the firms that advertise
their wares. They appreciate your business and tell
you in their ads what they have, the quality and the
price. These firms are city builders, they are the ones
that help your city with their money, words and deeds.

E. R. WAITE
Forbes' Business and
Industrial Analysis
By B. C. FORBES.
I often interview business men of
national prominence who cannot at
all explain why they succeeded.
Vet when I start them off on a de
scription of their career, step by step,
from boyhood on, usually It is very
easy for me to see exactly what led
to their rise.
Tli" other evening the recently
electd president of one of America's
very largest industrial enterprises
told me the story of his life. He
thus covered the whole period of his
youth :
"After attending: the local schools,
1 graduated from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology."
That wasn't particularly Illuminat
ing, so I started delving a bit.
"Were you particularly interested
in any one thing whiie at school?" I
ashed.
" o, well nothing except that I
rigged up a machineshop or laboratory
at homo and built mechanical things,
including a motor which worked allunueual injtiatjVe that his rise to a
right. I had to get some of the cast
ings made. The president of a local
company, a friend of my father, had
this done."
Then he added, as an after-thought
"It was rather queer, wasn't "it, that
this same man gave me my first job?"
"There!" I exclaimed. "That ex
plains a whole lot everything. Right
there was a turning 'point in your
life."
"I never thought of it that- way.
How do you mean?" he asked.
"Why," I exlained, "that man gave
you a Job because you had done
something something out of the or
dinary which made an impression on
him, a sufficient impression to make
him willing to put you on his payroll
by and by. He saw in you a doer.
You created your own influence and
the onry influence worth while always
is the influence w ourselves create.
V,y cross-examining him like a
rhiladelphia lawyer, wormed out of
him what preceded every important
promotion in hfs career. And there
was a specific, clear-cut, abundantly
sufficient cause each time.
For example, he was transferred
from the dirtiest kind of work in the
! shop to the office because the rather
i humble part he played in taking the
; inventory of his department attracted
: the notice of his superiors, so much
! more carefully and systematically
j a nd businesslike was it done than the
work done by any or tiie otners.
Later, be made his mark by pre
senting figures to tlio head of the
company showing that they had on
hand only SO per cent of stock of the
goods which accounted for SO per
cent of their sales and 0 per cent
of stock covering- goods which ac
counted for only 20 per cent of the
sabs.
That convinced the president that
this young man was of executive cal
ilre. When he reached the selling end of
jthe business his fundamental, expert,
technical knowledge ot uie requue
ments of customers enabled him to
win contract after contract. And. of
course, recognition came In the form

It was the initiative John D. Rock
efeller exerted when a humble pro
duce dealer that resulted in his ac
quiring enough capital to enable him
to get into the oil business.
It was the chemical and other ex
periments conducted in his very hum
ble home when very young that led
to Schwab's being introduced to Car
negie as a young roan who knew more
about the steel business than anyone
else in the organization.
It was the resourcefulness displayed
and the success attained by Frank A.
Vanderlip in floating the Spanish
American War loan, when he was as
sistant secretary of the treasury that
led James Stillman to grab him as a
vice-president for the National City
3ank of New York at ?10,000 a year.
The extraordinary ability manifest

to Gary's becoming the kingpin of the
steel industry of the whole country.

not always be unearthed.

nine oue of every ten men who have
risen to positions of conspicuous im
portance in this country rose because
they deserved to, because they laid
solid foundations, because they fitted
themselves to climb.

Escaped Convict
Is Being Held
In Chattanooga
Sheriff Ellis received a telegram
from Chief Dective Hackett ot Chat
tanooga yesterday advising him that
Howard Hammac, who escaped from
the Escambia road camp several
weeks ago. had been arrested at Chat
tanooga. Hammac, it was stated, is
ready to come back to Florida with-
out requisition papers.
Hammac was sent up for six months
when convicted in the court of rec
ord on a charge " of larceny. He
stole a suit case belonging to J. S.
Reese while it was at the L. & N.
depot.
Robert Forrest, local member of the
bureau of fingerprint Identification,
took the prisoner's prints when he
was sent out to the camp and it was
by these that he was detected at
Chattanooga.
The sheriff will go before the coun
ty commission today to ascertain
whether or not Hammac is wanted
badly enough to go to the expense of
sending an officer after him.

FINE RECORD
IS MADE AT
BRUCE DOCKS
Big British Steamer
Is Raised in Rec
ord Time of 32
Minutes.
What is declared to be one of the
best docking records on the gulf
coast was established yesterday aft
ernoon when the British steamer
BIythmoor was raised at the Bruce
Dry Dock company's plant.
This vessel, with a carrying ca
pacity of 12,700 tons and with 9S0
tons of water ballast and 150 tons of
coal in her hold was pumped up in 02
minutes. The BIythmoor is 430 feet
over all, has a 54 foot beam and
stands 51 feet over the keel block.
She is the largest vessel that has
ever been raised at the Bruce dock,
and the second British steamar raised
since the dock was put into opera
tion. While moored in the harbor of
Iquiaue, Chile, after she had been
loaded with approximately 10,000 tons
of nitrates and ready to go to sea, the
BIythmoor was accidentally rammed
by the steamer Plier Blanche. Ca'p
tain Stonehouse succeeded in making
temporary repairs and the BIythmoor
proceeded to Pensacola where the
cargo was discharged.
After comparing the excellent re
pairing facilities of the local plant
and the tariff and workmanship with
other gulf coast docks, Captain Stone
house decided that Pensacola was the
most logical point to have his vessel
docked and repaired.
She is to have the damage done in
the accident repaired and scraped and
painted. This will furnish employ
ment to about 12j local workmen this
morning at 7 o'clock.
The BIythmoor will be lowered Fri-
May morning, and the steamer Jomar
will be docked for scraping, painting
and repairs to the bilge keel. Her
solid cast iron wheel will be removed
and replaced with a built-up wheel
consisting of a cast iron hub and four
bronze propeller blades. All this
work will be done in 24 hours.
Following the Jomar the dredge
Caucus will be docked for completion
of repairs started at a previous dock

dollar has gone wrong, If Dick
Bingham's calculations are not
wrong. Dick was the member of
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
who started out the third dollar
of the week yesterday under the
auspices of the junior commercial
body to ascertain how much $1
will buy in Pensacola.
He let the simoleon go by spend
ing it at White & White's, and
when 5 o'clock rolled araund yes
terday afternoon Dick stood at his
telephone ready to have someone
call him and let him chase out to
retrieve the bill. But no call
came. He waited until 6, but
till no call came. He then called
up The Journal and In disgust de
clared that he didn't know what
became of his dollar.

"I spent it at White . White's
early this morning," Dick de
clared. "I heard from it several
times later and it was going good,
but I'm afraid it fell into the
hands of some high pocket and
has been sent to some mail order
house for 58 cents worth of 'mer
chandise. That means that it's
gone for good so far as Pensacola
is concerned."

The fellow who gets it is asked
