Ever Feel This Way ?
*Twas the night, before pay day, astd-all
through my jeaBS
I avas searching in vain; for- the price
of some beans.
But nothing was doing—the milled
edge had quit;
Not a penny was stirring, not even
a jit.
Forward, turn forward, O Time, in
your flight! !
Make it tomorrow just for tonight!.

They Are Amazingly
Ignorant, Says Edison,
Talking of College Men
New York.—Thomas A. Edison has
weighed the average college graduate
and found him wanting. “He’s amaz
ingly ignorant,” grumbles the Wizard
of Menlo Park; “he doesn’t seem to
know anything*”
When Edison completed his .two
years as honorary chairman of the j
Naval Consulting Board he journeyed
back to his plant in West Orange and
said he was amazed to find the effi
ciency of the organization had been
lowered during his war service
“I found the efficiency of the organ
ization required rehabilitation,” he
said, in an interview. “It had been
Notice of Forfeiture.
To Henry Johnson, Thomas Burns,
Victor Crisson, William Marklin,
Leroy Tozier, John Clark, George
Wesch, their heirs, executors and
assigns:
You, and each of you, are hereby
notified that I, the uodersigned, your
co-owner, have expended in labor and
improvements the sum of not less than
one hundred dollars ($100.00) for the
years 1918, 1919 and 1920 upon your in
terests in the Spot Association, situ
ated on Ganes creek, in the Innoko re
cording precinct, Territory of Alaska,
in order to hold said claim under the
provisions of Section 2324 of the Re
vised Statutes of the United States and
the amendments thereto concerning
annual labor upon mining claims, being
the amount required to hold said min
ing claim for the period ending Decem
ber 31, 1920.
And if within ninety days after the
publication of this notice you fail or
refuse to contribute your proportion of
said expenditures, as well as the cost of
recording the same, and the costs of
this advertisement, your interests in
said claim' will become the property of
the undersigned, your co-owner, who
has made the required expenditures
under the-terras of said'section of the
Revised Statutes of the United States.
C. L. Baker,
Co-Owner.

Date of final publication, Oct. 19, 1921.
I lowered because of the negligence of
those who were supposed to bej watch
ing and because of the mistakes of un
trained and careless workers.
“I at once prepared an intelligence
test i^ the form of a questionnaire,
whiclm supplied to my employees and
to college graduates, to whom I offered
employment if they scaled to my re
quirements.
“The result of this test has been
astonishingly disappointing. Men who
have been through college 1 find to be
amazingly ignorant. They don't seem
to know anything.”
Mr. Edison selected a questionnaire
at random.
“Take this man. for example,” be
said. “He has gone through college,
but in my Ctest he has been rated
‘XYZ,’ which is the lowest rating.
The connection between that man’s
senses and his mind has been atrophied.
“When I find that any one fails to
come up to the standard I have set 1
give him a week’s pay and fire him.
“Take a man of twenty-two or so,
and if he is intelligent he can do any
thing. When I engage a worker I keep
a watch on him. He usually starts low
with me, but as his ability warrants
his rise is rapid.
“Most employers do not know the
possibilities of their workers because
they fail to keep in touch with them.
I expect to attend personally to the
employment of some of my workers. I
shall be able to do this. I believe, be -
cause the return to normal conditions
will be gradual and it will not be nec
essary to engage a large number at a
time.” _
