LONDON, Dec. 23— Most healthy
men and women are potential earners
of 10,000 pounds a year, according to
C. F. Higham, member of Parliament.
Mr. Higrsam recently told members of
the efficiency club how to earn this
"Ten thousand a year men never
write asking for a position,'' he de
dared. "The secret of how to ob
tain large incomes is to get others to;
work your ideas, to have the courage
of your convictions, to be able to say
big income.

stick to your decision. Men who can

make up their own minds and make
up other people's minds are so
that only these few get 10 , 00 ^ pounds
a year or more in business."
Most men and women ,he said, wait,
for opportunity to knock at the door
and wheb it does they are usually too
tired to get up. Opportunities are
made. They rarely seek one out.

and let nothing stand in their way.

They have that terrible discontent
that is never satisfied. The man who
thinks he can earn 10,000 pounds a
year should decide whether he i'eally
wants it. He will not get it if he i
does not make up his mind, and one
day, when he gets it ,he will proba
bly regret it. A man should never;
envy the successful, but emulate i
them. He should show to his employ
ers an infinite capacity for taking
pains and be ready for any question

David Lloyd George, considering his,

Fifty Dollars. '
i
About 160 soldiers and sailors, who
are residents of Beat Three, Leflore
County ,have registered with Monroe
McClurg, Junior, as requested. The
citizens of Beat Three donated $ 6 ,
500 to be pro-ratéd among the white
soldier, sailor and marine of this i
beat. This will give each soldier ap- j
proximately, fifty dollars each,
If a few more registrations should
occur an effort will be made to raise
en ugh money so that each man will
secure fifty dollars. However, it is
believed that practically every per
son in this beat has already registered.
It is hoped to have the 'fund ready
for distribution tomorrow afternoon
so that the men who served from this
beat will receive their donation in
time for Christmas.
