The State of Washington plans

Seattle banks will need bif.or

power in the Bay cf Fui.-ly. The
plan approved by voters aiwi scien

millions. Power enough will c>h
produced to supply the whoie of
New England, and ten times one
hundred million would not eoual
the value of such power. ~
In waterpower and the electric

but the CERTAINTY of pr*s. peri

London is agitated because the
great art collection of Lord Lever
hulme, successful soap maker, is to
be sold in New York City, not in
London.
This is said to mean that the art
centre of the world has moved
from London to New Yoik, but
that isn't so.
The MONEY centre has moved,
and in 1925, as in the days of t;;e
Medici, art goes where money is.
"How can I succ cd?" is answer
ed by Juge Gary thus:
"LISTEN. Let the ot'n? r man
do at least h If the talking."
Judge Gar* of course, puts hon
esty ahead of all other qualities.
And honesty is important, although
Judge Gary knows more enterpris
es have been wrecked by hone
fools than by dishonest knaves.
"The average man likes to 1'ri
himself talk too rm:ch," says J
Gary. Salesmen should remember
that. Thousar.^Jsc 6J thsm talk
themselves INTO a sale, then talk
themselves OUT arrain. V.Tien you
meet a customer remember the ad

A poor old maid of Massachu
setts, called "poor," not because
she was an old maid, but because

she was in the asylum her small
fortune increased to $2,000,000, to
be divided now among seven nieces.

any sort of an opportunity.
Evidence a(t the Shenandoah in

Those knowing nothing about fly

aviation in the United States, or
dered him to go, in order to "im
press certain State fairs on the
way." Because his advice was not
taken. Lansdowne was killed.
Who is RESPONSIBLE for his
death? '^And how good a suit for
| damages have his widow and the
other Shenandoah widows against
those that sent their husbands to
death?

Improving on
History
I just finished hearing a Politician,
one of the Washington Boys, talk
on Abraham Lincoln. The only
thing I could picture in common
between him and Lincoln was that
they haa both been in Washington.
When a Politician aint talking
about himself he is talking about
Lincoln.* Lincoln has had more
Public men speak of his good
qualities, and fewer 'copy any of
them, than any man America ever
produced. His famous address was
only about two hundred words
long. No Politician has ever been
able to even copy his briefness1.
In fact that is the last one of his
qualities that they would try o
copy. Lincoln said more in those
200 words than has been said in
the entire CHy of Washington in
the last lO^years, and here is a
quality that no historian or speaker
has ever brought out before. At
the completion of the Gettysburg
speech, he wisely refused one of
Grant's Cigars, and borrowed a
sack of "Bull" Durham from an
Ex Southern private, rolled his
own, got on his Mule and went
back t;o Washington.

two weeks from now. Look for iL
