Kepresentative Tom Howie, of
Ahe, introduced a bill in the pei.eral
aembly to aiiolish the office of coun
ty treasurer in Ashe, although the
officer had been t lected for a term of
two The .Mouse iiuickly l.ill 'd
the bill and the treasurer of Ashe
county will til! the office for the
term for which he was elected. The
effort of Mr. Stack to change Ihe
Ktco'dei's court is alon; the sani"
line, and deserves the same fate as
the loie bill.

The longer 1 im in bn:nes, n-dij'
the luori' critici.-m of business that XX
I lead, the surer 1 become that a '
man must have had some actual ex- j t
perience in running a business i fore Xa
he is qualified to discuss intelligently vy
the problems of business men. !
Three fourths of all that Is printed
about business is from the pens oi
writers who could not pass a primer
examination on such matters as over
head expense, cost accounting, turn
over, mark-up.
I have actually known of editors
who could not tell ou the difference
Between truss and net profits.
It is a lack of knowledge, and not
willful tuisii pr st ntation that is at
the basis of most of the unwarranted
attacks upon husines.
This condition is the result of a
gradual chanm from man-power pro
duction, where tin unit in the indus
try was small, to machine-power pro
duction, where the unit is larte.
Rack one hundred years nco. be
frre Jho ate of steam, the workman
owned hi tools. He was a separate
and di-tinct unit. There was no def
inite line separatinu the employed
and the employing ealsses.
With the introduction of steam
and the development of labor-saving
machinery, it became necessary for
capital to concentrate into l.irte
units.
Today the vat majority of worker-
are cut o'f iro'ii any op; onutiit.v
to o n tin ir tools.

There is no slnudnrd disease that

their little drawbacks. I!ut by beini:
prepared for them you minimize
those drawbacks. And the fiM
thing necessary, in Ihe way of prepa

dark hour of affliction and suffering
there is no comfort like that of
knowing that you have some guilders

do this because I have the price.
And I have the bulliest time when I

It was time for "baby ghl" to be
In bed. but no amount of coaxing
could get her there. At last her
father offered to lie on the bed till
the "sandman" arrived. Off she went
"plck-a-hnck," and the tired mother
leaned back In her chair with a sigh
of content-, ready for a hard-earned
reot.
Ten minutes twenty half an
hoPr, and she was -wonderine when
her husband would be down, when
all aj'once she heard a soft, ntcalthy
plt-a-pat. Nearer came the steps,
and then a little white-robed form,
with a tiny finger on her lip, stood
In her doorway.
"Hush, hush, murver," she said.
'Tea got farver to sleep."
The basis of business Is confidence
and the basis of confidence Is underM
standing.
Do something each 'day that will
make your work easier each day
