TALK ABOUT A HARVEST! YUM YUM!
This is the attitude of Washington city business men to
ward the prospects for the late tall and winter. I lie national
capital is expecting a wave of prosperity and this gleeful anti
cipation dates from the announcement of the engagement of
President Wilson and Mrs. Norman-Galt..
When the papers carried the news of the coming wedding
all of the tradespepole in Washington felt like throwing their
hats in the air and giving three cheers for the President.
Likewise, three cheers for the bride. It all came in so handy at
a time when business was slack and prospects were pool'.
Tbe coming of a new “first lady of the land” has bad a
decidely stiffening effect upon the business outlook in the
national capital. Money circulation here, according to mer
chants, depends very largely upon social activities and these in
turn are greatly affected by the attitude of the \\ bite House.
For two years the White House has been almost devoid of social
activities, due first to Mrs. Wilson’s poor health and later to the
period of mourning which followed her death.
With tbe prospect of a bride in the White House, however,
the social season, which radiates from the White House and
touches eventualy every phase of official and political life,
promises to be the gayest since the early part of the Taft
regime, and Washington merchants and business men base their
optimism largely upon what they expect from the W liite
House.
The long session of congress that is coming on also is a
stimulus to the hopes of the business element. When congress
is meeting there is always a steady grind of dollars flowing into
the stores that stops when congress adjourns. The newspapers
of Washington are loyal to the capital’s business interests and
there is not one of them that is not able to find on a moment’s
notice a perfectly valid and logical reason for an extra session
of congress. Tf the newspapers of Washington and the trades
people of the national capital could have their way congress
would take on perpetual motion.
EDISON AND BURBANK.
Those two mimes will live in memory when most othei
names now current will be forgotten. The other day the men
who tw'ar them and made them illnstelrmv ovt at Seramento.
as Edison on a train en route to San Francisco passed' through
there.
The electricty wizard and the plant wizard shook hands
Tt was the first time they had seen each other, though they had
corresponded.
After their greeting Burbank said: “Edison and T arc
greatly alike. He is trying new tricks and so am T. Take me.
he succeeds about once out of every thousand times. I work
with things of nature and he improves on nature.”
Much obliged' to you, Mr. Burbank!
Those words are precious. “Like me he succeeds about
once out of every thousand times.”
That’s why Edison and Burbank are names that shine.
Therein lies the secret of success.
Persistence!
How manv embryonic Burbanks and Edisons have fallen
by the wayside because they had not courage and faith enough
to persist after a thousand failures!
Thank you agan, Mr. Burbank.

ANOTHER EFFORT FOR THE BELGIANS.
Once more the call of needy Belgium is heard. The Dollar
Christmas fund of last year is to be repeated, and Henry Clews
of New York, treasurer of the fund, has sent out an appeal,
asking all newspapers to print it. It says in part:
The task now undertaken by the Dollar Christmas
is to collect monev for shoes, boots and clothes which
are most urgently needed and for which special money
must be provided. The necessity is appaling because
at the present time there are roughly 3,500,000 desti
tute people in Belgium and the number increases as
the winter approaches. The Belgians are unable to
buv shoos, boots and clothes themselves—man v
even of the former wealthy are now in the daily bread
line.
This year, as last, our fund has the warm approval
and valued co-operation of a committee of representa
tive citizens, including Col. George Harvey, Dr. \\ ill
iam T. Hornaday, Victor F. Lawson, Adolph S. Ochs,
Prof. Henry Fairfield' Osborn, \\ illiam C. Reick, Mel
ville E. Stone, Oscar S. Straus, George T. Wilson. All
our workers are honorary and all money collected will
be expended bv the American Commission for Relief
in Belgium. No better guarantee can be given that
every penny subscribed will be wisely spent. Air.
Percy Bullen of 66 Broadway, New York, has again
undertaken the office of secretary.
