LEARNING FROM THE BEES
The United States is a beehive of
industry. There is work for every
busy bee. And positively there is no
place for drones.
In the hives of honey bees workers
tolerate the drones for a certain pe
riod of time. Then they pounce upon
the idlers, sting them to death and
waste no more honey feeding the
mouths of those who produce not.
The industrial beehive of the world
is adopting a similar policy. The au
thorities will be commended if they
persist in the plan to round up every
idler and make him go to work.
The country faces the task of feed
ing and clothing itself, its soldiers
and in a large part its allies.
Everything that a loafer consumes,
that loafer, rich or poor, is taking
food from mouths of those who toil
and figt ;
The ion should take a lesson
from th honey bees.
The d imes should be banished—not
killed, but turned into workers, by
force if no other measures suffice.

WHY YANKEES ARE BEST
The American army should stand
pie-eminent in the world, and man
for man it does so stand.
It is the healthiest army in the
world.
It is the best paid army in .the
world.
It is the best fed army in the world.
It is the best cared for army in the
world.
These are four facts that are proven
by comparisons with all other armies.
These four points of supremacy nat
urally make the American soldier the
leader in physical prowess and in
mental alertness. Sound health and
good food make him confident. He
has the right kind of morale, and this,
Napoleon said, was three-fourths of
the element in victory.

Just to prove that they are a “sweet
scented” lot, the Huns are keeping
the Yanks covered with stink-pot de
coctions that are more annoying than
dangerous.

ENERGETIC MEN WILL RISE
There never was so good an op
portunity for men with push and abil
ity to rise as in this country today.
The right kind of men are taking
advantage of the opening; they arc
. working with might and main to make
places for themselves in industry
They are forging out for themselves
I reputations that will not be forgotten I
I by employers in the future.
Those who hire men have always
complained of the lack of Interest
that many employes show in their
j tasks. To many workers their occu
| pation is drudgery, to be carried on
1 with the slightest exertion and to be
gotten over as soon 'aa possible.
The world has always been looking
for men who love their work. But
i there was never such a demand for
this class as at present.
A man can go to work in a ship
yard, for i .stance, and do the least
work possible or the most work pos
sible.
if he wastes as much time as he can
he will probably hold his job owing
to the scarcity of men, but in two
| years from now or five years from
i now he will be at the same task.
The man who does all he can will
be advanced faster than he hopes. F
will be given ample opportunity to
learn new things and to become more
indispensable to his employers.
A man with the right kind of #tuff
in him can not fail to make good.
Everything is set for him to have an
easy trip to success.
Also, competition is not as keen as
it should be. Now, as ever, the great
majority of men are without ambi
tion.
Do not be one of these. Keep your
chin up.
Hitch your wagon to a star; do not
be afraid that the steel will make you
exceed the speed limit.
Have ambitious aspirations. Work
for something better, and above all,
work.
The man who does this will be in
a commanding position in a short
time.
Energy counts in this world more
than almost any other quality. No
matter what other qualifications a
man has, you can overtake him and
pass him if he lacks energy and you
have it
Get-up-and-get is the quality that
separates the successful from the fail
ures in life as sharply as would a
line fence.
