TH ANDANSATSA, OMAVLL. THRDYMY lt,13 n * r~< flflhYCI rzi'.z~ ... 'v The Editor TaIIcs1 I have spent over 50 years in busi- ness with a fair measure of sucress 1 caîl it. notwitbstandiflg the good Dr. James W. McLaughlifl's opinion so bluntly expressed to me at the start as recorded in a previous Talk. One writer says this truth about business: lit is like clinchig rivets; one sbould strike when the iron is bot." If I were asked ta define Busi- ness I sbould have to think a bit, for it is a large question, but like many questions whicb seem to have niost obvious and easy answers. we find it really difficult to define in a few words satisfactorily. Reader, bas it ever occurred ta you what a vast field is covered in the one word -Busiess? If we turn to the dic- tionary we find it brie! ly deflned employment. trade, rigbt of action, somethig to, be done, oniels calling or profession or duty. It. therefore, follows that every man has some oc- cupation or business however rîch or bigbborn bie may be, because the de- finition cannot be narrowed down to the niere learning of a trade or pur- suit of gain. Ail must do business of some sort and tbough it may not be personal, it will at any rate, be for personal advantage or pleasure. Truly the custom of some snobs among the well to do to sneer at business more frequently in the old countries than in this one is absurd; for business requires as high a sense o! duty and as high character or re- putation as the rigorously exactig and most exclusive social positions. We have noticed when in England that some folk in business look down upon trades f olks as beneath those who make pretenses as to be consd- ered wefl bred. We think it is rem- iniscent of the earliest times when mien frst took to accumulating and excbanglng things. There is an old saying that "Man might be defined as an animal that makes exchanges.' That is wbere man diflers f rom the animal. There are some animals that have the instinct to lay up stores o! food but no animal bas the least idea o! exchanging somnethig it possesses for something possessed by another o! its kind. Ini the olden times, the man who gained wealth was regarded with envy and hatred by those who did not exhibit the sanie thrifty spirit, yet we ask why should there be 111 feelings or pre- judice agalnst trade? one must un! ortunately admit that there is much that has been done in the name o! business that bas been reprehiensible and repuls- ive ta a reffined nature. With the fierceness o! competitian the meth- ods by which success is attained are less and less severely criticised. Real strong mlnded and honorable busi- ness men wil raise their voices in protest against the ignoble methads sanie men practice, and plead for a more honorable and truthful com- mercial life. Business men, taa. are seeing that the failures in if e are mainly due ta the want o! business habits, to incapacity ta, manage, ta want a! methad and lack o! thor- aughness in the knowledge o! the 'sork in band. Better book-keepig, better system and better arganiza- tion in general are necessary. aîîd success in any business demands a wlde-awake overslght ta, make it a *success. No business can succeed if lacking the care and thorough sys- teni we have mentianed. Ta achieve any real and endurig success, busi- ness i these days needs mare con- centration, so as ta, obtain greater accuracy. Time must not be wasted in correcting daily errors and lasses. It is far better ta take precautions and avoid theni. In the keen cam- petitian a! trade today profits are toc flnely cut ta, allow a! men mud- dling along by rule-of-thumb meth- ods until they find the correct meth- cd. We have faund that pausing and calculating plays a large part in business. with tact, push and prin- ciple as capital aids. Sa much do these tbings counit in business that with them success can aimast be predicted wbere formerly men anly trusted ta chance. We can declare that these are the essentials a! business success and the man wbo possesses such gaod qual- ities bas aUl that is required ta en- able him ta wait the fioadtide which wil carry him on ta fortune. It may not be given ta, every man ta attai the prizes o! business life. but the opportunity cames toalal and it is only thase who fail ta see and grasp it who lose the advantage af- fered ta them and wich prabably neyer cames again. Luck has been austed f ro is pedestal as a God ta, be worshipped: by this wauld be successful man o! business and in its place appears a plain shield graven with thoethe imnpe wards named "TactPsan MOST DESIRABLE INVESTMENT Bowmanville and Durhami Caunty bond-balders gave a demanstratian of tbeir faith in Canada and the world's recovery last week when they turned over hundreds of thousands o! dollars a! their bonds for the new conversion boan. This is a guarantee that residents o! this district will have hundreds o! thousands o! dol- lars of bonds for many years ta came. Guessing at people's wealtb is one o! the greatest games that if e af- fards. It is so easy ta guess and s0 difficult ta guess correctly; it is 50 easy ta misjudge circunistances and draw wrong conclusions. Thase wbo deligbt in this pastixne have now a fine opportunity to guess at the wealth o! Bowmanville residents. If tbey do and guess near the mark they will have a high opinion a! the caunty's stability, for the wealth a! this county must be great. The present brings a lesson ta many as ta saving. Many go through 111 e with no consistent plan ta put maney away for the inevitable bard places in 11e; sanie save, then spend rasbly or speculate wildly; thers make little pretence at saving, leav- ing the future ta take care a! itself, for the future looks sa far away and the needs o! the future s0 thin. A consistent saving policy bas built up many a tidy little fortune. which stands the people in gaod stead at a tume wben the govern- ment is affering bonds witb a good rate o! interest. The man wbo saves is alsoaa friend o! his country. He can be called upon in tumes o! stress and turmoil. Canada has many of these f olk on whom she was able ta cal last week and this and during the war and many o! them reside in and around Bowmanville. Tbose wbo were able ta go into their safety deposit boxes or private vaulta and bring forth the bonds needed for the convefhion boan aught ta be looked upon in much the same mariner as the wise virgins wbo brougbt their lamps filled with oi1. Tao many people neyer keep the 011 they get, or neyer bave any ail ta carry. Government bonds are the best of securities, tbey fluctuate little. If they do fluctuate, then conditions are simply worse in other securities. Many o! the ricbest men take n.o stock in speculation or buying of stocks but advise their !riends ta tuck away the nice little government bonds as one o! the most desirable f oms o! wealth ta possess. Al this goes ta show that government bonds are most desirable and certain. RESPECTING THE RIGHTS 0F OTHERS At this tume o! the year, when the countryside is dressed in verdant glory, many are prone ta forget the rights o! others in a more pranounc- ed fashion than at any tume in the year. At tbis time wben the sylvan glen is "a tbing o! beauty and a joy forever" beauty spots are ravaged and property rights are ignored by town and city folk just as if they did not exist. We are referring spec- ially ta those who wantonly dese- crate beautiful woads and gardens in their desire ta funish their own homes or gardens with natures de- lights at the expense o! other people. Comnion decency sbould forbid us to enter the woods owned by an- other and help ourselves witbaut permission ta fiowers and plants and young trees. Tbe owners have some rgtand tbese should be respected. Theliertesthat are taken with peoples gardens and woads brings ta md a few other liberties taken that sbould be stopped before tbey flot only become a menace but be- fore they become so natural that they soon become considered rigbts.

YOU OWE A DUTY TO VOUR HOSPITAL Tuesday. May 12th. was Internat- ional Hospital Day. a day o! remeni- brance for that heraic character a! tbe nursing world. Florence Nigtin- gale. the Lady o! the Lamp, and alsa, a reminder o! the duty a! every member o! a community in which a hospital is situated. The fallowing paragraph. quoted by Rotarian C. H.j Mason in bis address at Rotary Club on Friday, from, an address given at the Ontario Hospital Association Convention. by Dr. Malcolmi T. Mac- Eachern, o! Chicago, is warthy o! close perusal and study. "The very existence o! a bospital and the camying on o! its ecogniz- ed work implies definite obligations ta the conimunity. Tbe bospital is the indispensable bumanitamian util- ity because its purpase is the con- servation a! human 11e. As such it memits the interest and concern o! evemy persan. And because it serves not itself but the public. the bospital must be watcbful in meeting it sob- ligations ta the comnunity. The primary obligation a! any hospital is tbat o! getting sick people well as thorougbly and as quickly as pos- sible. It cannat be content nierely ta render ordinary or perfunctory care; it bias a duty ta furnisb the most scientific and efficient service available and bence must be well equipped, well staff ed and well or- ganized." Citizens o! Durham County recag- nize that Bowmanville Hospital measures up ta these standards and daing s0 the conimunity becames naturally under obligation ta its bas- pital. Human 111e cannot be valued too higb and the returns for money invested in belping a hospital re- present higber dividends than money expended in any other way. With a modern bospital staffed by exper- ienced nurses and dostors Bawman- ville owes a strong allegiance ta tbis institution. OUR GREAT WEALTH Few people realize thl'e great wealtb a! the community in which we are living. for baw mucb o! it is sup- plied by Dame Nature, but ta a cee- tan extent it is indicated as follows: Every bird bas a bill. Every !lower lias a scent. Every cbimney bas a draft. Every horse bridle bias a check. Every blade o! grass bias a green back. The telephone girls give us lots of ear rings. The moon gives us four quarters every manth. There are no bears ta depreciate the market. The weather gives us plenty o! change evemy day. Diamonds are mere playthings for many o! tbe women. Rawdon creek has two substantial banks with thriving branches on ev- ery tree. IN THE DIM and DISTANT PASTJ 50 YEARS AGO From The Statesman, May l3th, 1881 Servant girls are scarce in town. We were surprised to see a Young bachelor refuse to tie a ladys horse at the cemetery on Friday when ask- ed by the undertaker. A married man vlunteered his services. Sig- nificant eh! Bertie Wilson, Minnie Jennings, Albert Bellman and James Medland received the higbest number o! marks for good conduct i the sen- ior class, and Josepb Knigbt in jun- ior class last month in Miss Sin- clair's division union scboal. Dr. Robert Young met with a pec- uliar accident on Saturday. He was riding in a buggy leading a colt. The colt became frightened and made a sudden jump. giving Mr. Young a twist, which ruptured a ligament near the liver. He bas been conflned to his bed since. Af ter a lingering illness, Annie Hill, better known as Annie Power, adopted daughter of Mr. Wilson Power, passed away on Wednesday. One of our respectable farmers was1 last week nearly duped by one o! those pedars wbo persuaded him to sign a paper. The man thinking it was his post office address that was required did so, and found a f ew days later that hie had signed a note for $200. and w-as the proprietor of hayforks enough to do the f amily for the next generation.
