governments — your town board, city council,
park board, school board. This is no time for any
but essential expenditures. Sure, a new bandstand
in the park would be nice, and the town can afford
it. But don’t build it! The sum of all such little
unessential projects all over the land helps boost
the price of materials and labor.
5. Discuss the problem of inflation with your
neighbors, make it a topic in your clubs, get speak
ers who can present the problem effectively, try
to see that the high school students are told the
economic facts of life. In short, do your best to
make sure that everyone in your neighborhood is
aware of the menace and what can be done to
combat it.
6. Above all, save! If it were possible to with
hold part of our income from us, to be paid to us
at a later date, that would be a most effective
weapon against inflation. But since we cannot be
forced to save, we must save voluntarily; that is,
remove our little cupful of money from the flood.
A cupful doesn’t count? Wrong. The flood of
money consists entirely of cupfuls,
7. One thing the Government can and must
do is to sop up as much of the increased money
supply as possible by taxes. Your part in this is
to pay without evasion. Better pay taxes now than
have your widow cash in your life insurance some
day for just enough to buy a meal—as actually
happened in Germany.
The only hedge against inflation that is worth
anything to the millions of people now being hurt
is to understand the simple arithmetic of money
and prices and make that understanding felt at
the ballot box.

FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
If you have a desire to become successful, one
of the best ways to attain that success is to study
and read about the lives of successful business
men. You may think that to become successful it
is necessary to possess a high intelligence quotient
or have intelligence high above the average. Such,
however, is not necessarily so because there have
been brilliant men who have never attained suc
cess as we know it due to their inability to mix
with others. On the other hand there have been
many successf’il men who with little education,
have attained greatness.
After much study it has been found that most
successful men have three qualities in common.
Each has set his sights on a definite goal.
Each has had the drive to propel him toward
that goal.
Each has had the ability to get along both with
his superiors and with those with whom he
worked.
It would seem that these secrets of success would
be simple to follow but how many of us lack a
goal or even pursueing a goal, lack the enthusiasm
and drive to reach it. How many of us fail to cul
tivate the friendship and respect of our fellow
workers.
