Eliminate the cash end, it doesn't matter much. For he'd have been just as elated if he had Won a prize of $1. How do you explain this rich man's jubilation over a victory that wasn’t worth the price it cost—to him? Your first epxlanation probably is* "He got something for nothing.” There is no thrill like finding money—getting it without effort. Probably this is a reaction from the enslaving system that keeps our noses to the grindstone. The average million aire gets a bigger thrill from finding a $5 goldpiece than from cleaning up $1000 in a business deal. And, no matter how valuable his time, he’ll delay whatever he was intent on, and search the premises to see if more $5 goldpieces are nearby. You know how this weakness persists in our qubcon scious minds and rises to the conscious surface during dreams in which we find coin after coin until our pockets are filled. A greater motiv‘d .than “something for nothing” how ever, animated- the rich man in the baseball gueqsing con test. His thrill, as victor, came mostly from the realization that in winning he demonstrated cleverness superion to that of the other contestants. In a battle of wits, he won. That is the motive of your “business genius,” as much as and often more than the actual accumulation of profits. Vanity—pride—is our motive in the things we do, a lot oftener and to greater extent than any of us realize. I PREDICTS WORLD'S GREATEST OIL F1ELP IN SOUTHERN That Southern Alberta, directly across the boundary line from Mon tana, where new oil wells are being brought in practically daily, is des tined to be the world’s greatest oil field is the prediction of P. Chester Thompson, well-known geologist for many years associated with Stand ard Oil activities in Europe ana South America. Mr. Thompson is credited with the discovery of the oil fields in Venesuela, in Columbia, South Am erica, in Madagascar, and has in vestigated practically every prospect ive oil field in all parts of ths world. "Geologists have long known," declares Mr. Thompson, “that oil seeps through porous rock structure in a direction opposite to the rota tion of the earth. Practically ad the great oil fields of the world will be found extending in direction' along lines parallel with the earth’s move ment. Where the porous rock struct ure folds and is at the same time near the surface, drilling for oil be comes a commercial possibility. "The numerous gas wells in Al berta west and south of Calgary have long evidenced the fact that oil in large quantities was some where beneath the surface. The large glacial drift, however, spread over the Alberta plains, rendered the working out of the geology dif ficult. Gradually, however*- drillers have worked northward from Wy oming through Montana, establish-’ ing definitely, the structures which underlie this vast territory. "All the evidence from the wells being brought in in Montana and at present drilling in Southern Al berta lead geologists who have ex amined the field to the conclusion that this territory will provide one of the largest if not the largest, oil field ever discovered,” To provide for the oil already be ing produced, and in anticipation of this development, the Imperial Ou Company of Canada is already spending millions of dollars in the construction of large tiorage tanks Hid refineries at Calgary, POLAND PLAN NATIONAL PARK Warn*, April, W.—Tho Society of Friend* of the Tatra Mountain* M working out a plan for transforming taw Tatra Mountain* Into a national park On the line* of YellowstOnf Park.
