The following article which was written by Mr. E. H. Koken, Superintendent of the Goodyear Factory, is clipped from The Wing foot Clan, a factory organ issued weekly for its employees. We would recommend that every employer ot labor and every employee read this well written article which contains much food for thought:-- Don't be afraid of anything in this world when you think you are right. Someone said that 'Fear is an insult to your Maker.' Fear makes you doubt the very ability and talent you possess, and literally robs you of so much per annum in both material material gain and mental development. Don't be afraid to bring out individuality. A man strong in himself may make a very weak imitation of someone else. Employment Employment and happiness are associated together together as the sun and the day and the dark with night, and just as soon as we make our employment productive, to that extent extent are we increasing our satisfaction with all our surroundings. To the man that accomplishes less than he ought to, the world seems hard and unyielding, but it lavishes contment and plenty on him who finds his happiness in the thorough, earnest and vigorous precaution of a work made successful by his own untiring efforts. efforts. In plain words this means that he who does his work well will have reason to be satisfied with the results, but the iaif-way worker will be disappointed and will invariably put the blame anywhere or everywhere, except where it belongs-- upon himself. The half-way workers, 'those who do their work listlessly, or ncompletely), make the misanthropes and the pessimists, because the character of the work they do make failure a foregone conclusion, or at least precludes any hope of marked success. " Every employer knows, and has much satisfaction in the knowledge that there are many who give the best work of which they are capable, and thev are the rock that we stand on. But. there are also others of a character well illustr-ted by a remark made by an old farmer once upon a time when he was visited by a friend who had been struck by the ruggedness and strength of a great stalwart hulking harvest hand and he ventured to say--"That fellow ought to be chuck full of a day's work." "Yes" the farmer replied, "He ought to be, for I ain't never been able to get any out of him." That man did not enjoy his work, he had not learned that in real enjoyment lies the secret of success. As soon as a man begins to love his work, then will he also begin to make progress. It is not THE EDITOR TALKS. Customers do not blush for shame over I printing done at James Publishing House, Bowmanville. for it cannot be done better I anywhere--not quite so good generally. I Prices' are right. If you require anything in the printing line, from a visiting card to a pamphlet, let us have your order. No I matter how far away you live from this town we can serve you by parcel post or I express. Debating societies in schools, organizations, organizations, lodges and divisions are of great benefit to participators and should be encouraged. encouraged. Just now a timely subject for a debate is: "Resolved that the man who marries now during war time is more courageous than he who goes to the front with the Allies". Go to it now, boys. We have read the report of the annual meeting of the Grèat Northern Exhibition at Collingwood and are pleased to note the yearly progress of the society. How could it be otherwise with our three friends--Deputy-Reeve W. A. Tom, Editor Editor D. Williams, and Editor W. A. Hogg .--on the Board ? W. A. Tom was again chosen manager--the right man in the right place. J. H. Finlay--a Clarke town ship man--is also a director, another instance instance that the superior ability of Durham county men is recognized wherever they are found. Farmers' interests are receiving much attention these days--elections are com' jng. on again. Both the federal and provincial provincial governments are co-operating in a great agricultural educational campaign to sweep Ontario within the next two months. It will be known as the Patriotic Patriotic and Production Campaign of 1915, and plans formulated by the agricultural departments departments of the two governments are nearly complete. • It will be launched on Feb. 9th, and meetings will be held regularly regularly in all the counties. Experts and Skilled speakers will be heard . on every occasion,and the burden of their appeal will be to urge farmers in general to exert themselves to the utmost to raise all the food products possible to supply the famished famished markets of next year. How splendid splendid it would be if both governments would give half as much thought and expense to improving the public schools of the Province. Province. Citizens, business men, councillors, professional professional meh and all others who desire the welfare and progréss of Bowmanville should get together again for an evening during the winter at a banquet to talk over town affairs.

Remember that things move along so fast nowadays that a man who says a thing can't be done is interrupted interrupted by finding someone else doing it. Every man should know the needs of developing personality, but as that personality personality is the vital spark in the man, so it is :he active force in a business. Personality Personality is the chief factor in building a business business because personal power is the strongest strongest bond between men and a unified organization organization in the business establishment is chiefly the result of that same power and the only source from which a business can draw a personality is the human element rf it;--the men who carry on its activities. his quality should be one of the prime possessions of every man in the rank and file and to whatever title the official . may bear who has _ direct charge of the men, wherever he may be employed, i This peisonal power, accompanied by ! thorough practical knowledge of the work in hand, is a first requisite, for where : thousands of men are employed all o: : I varying temperament, friction is bound to come now and then. I But, the foreman of the Departments I who treat every man on a personal plane, : soon abates any of the little differen- • ces that arise and he exercises this person al power in treating every worker fairly. In this way only is individualism nourished, nourished, and the man in the ranks made to feel that his personality (his personal force and work) is a factor in the roar and rush of the factory. The practice of showing only authority, merely for authority's sake, always hurts rather than helps. It sears the sensitiveness ot workmen; it acts too as a muscle binder, and with the brake of resentment set, that man's quality quality and quantity of work depreciates. It is a sure cause of the 'Don't care feeling' and nothing is more injurious to a work force than the spread of that disposition. That practice is attended as a rule by the crushing out of individualsm, (the doing away with the personal power of the individual), individual), This can be illustrated by one man who worked his way up to a Superin tendency. At one time in his advance he was appointed Inspector, his duties required required him to inspect the product of men with whom he had worked side by side on the bench. He had also been one of their numbers in all their social gatherings. These latter felt that because of the close friendship he should be lenient in inspection inspection when they were concerned and allow any of their work, which was below stand ard to pass. He refused however. His factory prided itself on the constant quality quality of its product. He was loyal to that rule of quality; he inspected their work just as rigidly as that of the newcomer who had taken this work on but a.week before. He lost their friendship but he kept his course, and the time came when they voluntarily assured him that they were convinced he was in the right. Now, it was the man's personal power which carried him through that experience without without creating a storm of trouble. He found himself implanted more strongly than ever in the regard of the men under him. His fairness, his square deal meth- people if there would not be a warm approval approval of the idea and a ready and generous generous response. We believe the coming together together of the leading citizens in the way proposed to talk over matters for the public public benefit would bring most satisfactory results. Should like to see the younger business men take the action necessary to bring into actual operation this suggestion. suggestion. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind Yon Hate Always Bought Bears the Signature of Neither merchants nor the people, it seems to us, are as familiar as they should be with the parcel post rules and rates. Both were published in the newspapers generally when they came into force but comparatively few persons avail themselves themselves ot them. We use the system considerably considerably for sending out printed matter and believe a much larger mail order trade could be done with distant customers customers if they would send us their orders now that rates are so reasonable. It was a great surprise to us a few days ago that we could send a lady's suit by parcel post for ten cents. Every business man should not only carry an advertisement every week in the local paper, which is read carefully by the man, the wife and the children of every household within trading trading distance of the town, but he should keep before his customers the mail order facilities. The business man who is "out" of the local paper is not doing himself or his business justice, and a general campaign campaign of intelligent, aggressive publicity' and a more generous use of the parcel ; post would practically put departmental stores out ot business so far as supplying the necessaries of the rural district is concerned. concerned. m The wise words of Dr. C. C. James of the Dominion department of agriculture in a recent address are so timely that we repeat them for the benefit of Durham farmers lest they might not see them in another publication. He struck the keynote keynote when he pleaded for better crops rather than increased acreage, saying: "Ten million acres of wheat producing 20 bushels to the acre will give more crop than 12 million acres producing 15 bushels to the acre. It would mean twenty million million bushels more, produced at less cost. It is millions of bushels, not millions of acres, that are called for; more milk and butter and cheese rather than more cows. It is a day when the economical use of labor will tell." Now is the season for farmers to plan for bigger yields by procuring procuring the best seed possible, increasing fertility of soil, cultivating better or in any other way to add to the production. Scatter a light coating of barnyard manure manure over the high spots and on the poorer parts of the fields so as to bring up the average crop. Get all implements repaired repaired and in other ways arrange for intensive rather than extensive or expensive farming. farming. ods had won out. He dealt with all the men on the same personal plane; he up- îeld individualism; he aided in manufacturing manufacturing personality and he now stands high in the ranks as a handler of men. It is of much importance to keep in mind we are not all made to be Alexanders Alexanders or conquer worlds. It is not the nature of things that all men should be equally successful, but we should never lose sight of the fact that the small man's part is of as much importance, relatively as that of the greater and that a career in the business world does not mean simply a struggle for wealth, but an achievement in creating something worthy of the individual individual and of real lasting value to man- cind. When this has been done we have the most powerful invenvion of this wonderful wonderful century. Mcflurtry & Co's.
