THE PSYCHOLOGY OF
BUSINESS ASSOCIATION
Business Men’s Associations
of the Chamber of Commerce
type have had the strong and
weak points of the commer
cial community. Business men
are engaged in the competi
tive management of industry
writh personal reward as the
motive. When they unite for
advancement of the business
of a town, they show much
the same characteristics that
they do in their daily labor.
They have the initiative
and drive that goes with an
individually owned enterprise.
The competitive struggle de
velops the qualities of self
help 'and impatience with de
lays, and the tendency to
measure the success of the
effort in terms of money gain
or loss. These qualities will
appear in a well managed
business man’s organization,
and they give it the power
that accomplishes large re
sults.
A good community organi
zation, however, demands
something more. It must man
ifest the spirit of co-opera
tion and getting together, of
harmony between business
rivals, of tolerance of conflict
ing views. The organization
must not expect that its re
sults can be wholly measured
in terms of dollars and cents.
It must work also for social
happiness and welfare of the
people and for service to all
interests in the community.
A good many business mens
organizations have failed to
accomplish much, because they
looked to commercial profit
alone. If their money mak
ing enterprises happens to
fall down, they had accom
plished nothing for civic ad
vancement, and the pepole
would feel that their effort
had been fruitless.
A broad and modern busi
ness man’s movement will
make civic advancement and
human welfare its first ob
jective. When it attains that
business gains will follow as
a necessary incident.

SCHOOL NEWS FROM
DISTRICT NUMBER 38
Since our last writing we
have completed another
month of school work and we
feel, from the attitude of
both pupils and parents, that
our time has been well spent
and that great things have
been accomplished.
Several of our patrons have
visited us. and seemed tc take
great interest in the school,
work in which we hope they
will continue, and to visit us,
as it expresses their desire
for a better school.
We certainly appreciate the
interest that our neighboring
schools have shown in us, as
it makes us feel that our
work is approved by many.
We regret to say that our
good Superintendent has fail
ed to make us another visit
as we had hoped. We appre
ciate his good advice, and
h onp tn hnvp nnnthpf vwif
from him soon.
Our directors have visited
us several times. Their pres
ence and kindly remarks are
greatly appreciated.
Co-operation between par
ents, teachers and pupils is
what is required to make a
Aetter school and better boys
and girls.
We cordially invite all who
are interested in school work,
especilaly the patrons of the
district to visit us at some
convenient time.
McKinley Huddleston,
, Goal Bradford,
Teachers.
TOMATO CROP GOOD
Pyatt Aug. 20—The tomato
canning plant at this place is
running full time. The crop
revived by late rains promises
to be one of the best ever
raised in this vicinity. The
factory is putting up about
50,000 cans a day.
WHAT THEY NEEDED
Mother—“We must get a
nurse for the baby.”
New Pop.—A nurse? What
we need is a night watch
man.”
AMERICA FIRST
FARM AND RANCH
ih scanning the daily pap
ers we are greeted by the fol
lowing headlines, Congress
faces difficulty in making ends
meet. New forms of taxation
sought to relieve situation.
As Mr. Average Citizen
reads this caption his face
turns a little paler, and he
hitches his belt up another
notch around his already thin
stomach. His thoughts revert
to the difficulty he had in
meeting last year’s taxes, and
to the interest which remains
unpaid on his already past
due paper.
He turns the page and ano
ther news item informs him
that the total income of the
Federal Government last year
amounted to a paltry four and
one-half billion dollars,approx
imately and that of every sin
gle dollar of this great sum
88 cents is spent for militar
ism, the 12 cents remaining
1.. • ,1 n.... ....
U3CU iUI IUI1MI utlivt*
governmental activities and
upkeep expenses.
Of this 12 'remaining cents
out of each dollar, possibly
agriculture, the great basis
for all the wealth in this coun
try received as much as 2
cents, probably less.
We read on, and find that
the European wTar cost us
directly about $22,000,000,000
at the rate of $1,000,000 per
hour for a period of two years
of the conflict, enough to
have carried on the cost of
the Revolutionary war for a
period of about 1,000 years.
Not counting the fearful toll
of lives which it took, the
flow'er of America’s young
manhood, and the demorali
zation of tens of thousands
ol others. We stop awhile
and think. The price is paid
and what are the results?
Russia, the home of imper
ialism, strict law and order,
under the Czar, has, under
the bloody banners of Lenine
and Trotzky, become a Nation
of terror, famine and death,
and the lives of tens of mil
lions of innocents are at stake
a Nation with teeming mil
lions in want, and shunned by
the balance of the world. On
the borders of Germany and
Poland the camp fires of op
posing armies are still burn
ing brightly, and the rattle of
machine guns in action can
tdl be heard, while the
Kaiser, living in regal splen
dor, farther away from his
enemies than wdien wearing
the Crown of Emporer, looks
on amusedly.
In other countries closer
: nome, rnme ministers, tor
jeign ministers, and other high
! potentates are becoming in
tensely unpopular, and are
! about to be unseated. Truly,
I the seats of the mighty are
decidedly unsafe.
All of which goes to prove
: that war is futile in these
1 modern times, as the abolish
! ment of one evil by war is re
! placed by even greater evils
after peace is made.
War is an unnatural, un
clean monster, that is slowly
eating into the vitals of civ
ilization that will destroy it
unless checked. One week of
conflict will destroy what it
has taken Christianity and nor
mal progress a century to
build, and its evil influence
unfortunately does not end
when articles of peace are
bigned by the high dignitaries
but the heavy burdens must
be shouldered by the future
generations yet unborn.
The satute books of the civ
ilized Nations of the world
contain no law legalizing tne
murder of one citizen by
another through controversy
that could be settled in the
courts of equity provided for
that purpose, and so it is with
Nations. Differences should
be settled in an international
court of equity, instead of on
the field of battle.
Let every citizen of this
country, every Christian min
ister, no matter what denom
inaion, realize the seriousness
of a situation that calls for
the expenditure of 88 cents
out of each dollar for war
as is now being done, and
enough pressure will be brou
ght on Congress to stop it in
quicker order, or Representa
tives will be elected who will
put a stop to it.
Let us put a stop to feeding
these billions of hard earned
! dollars into the coffers of the
! billionaire steel and p o w
der corporations, whose mon
ey chests are already filled tc
the bursting point with war
profits. Let us, rather, turn
these billions into the chan
nels of commerce, where they
will benefit agriculture, civi
lization, and humanity at
large. Let America be first,
