Men Should Make Play C ';*,;r Work and Play Hard While at It EFFICIENCY NECESSARY TO BUSINESS SUCCESS Radiate Sunshine All the Time, Is ‘Motto Recommended By Wisehaupt Howard J. Wisehaupe, the “Red” ‘Pep’ .man from Cleveland, Ohio, talked to the members of the Be- midji Civic and Commerce Associa- tion at the noon day luncheon Wed- nesday, dishing out valuable advice as free as the air you breathe. The merchants invited him up there, filled his stomach with a good: dinner and then extended an“invita- tion to him to talk about thirty minutes. He admitted that he stretched a twelve minute “speel” into thirty, but his audience was well satisfied. What he said was worth the price of a dozen dinners, and if, what he said would be put into actual practice by the business houses of this city, it would be worth thousands. Mr. Wisehaupe is still a “kid” in years, but he has grown up ideas and plenty of them. He admits he is not married and that he is a plumber by trade, but that at the present time he is “peddling intelligence” gather- ed from the big men of the nation. He is chuck full of “pep.” It radi- ates from his whole system, The girls admit that he is a ‘good looker’ and that he ought to make a good hus band. The fact that he is not married will however in no wise dampen their enthusiasm toward the message he brings to Bemidji. So much for the smiles and sunshine side of our friend Howard J. “A man has no business to work for a living,” declared Mr. Wisehaupe. “He should make play of his work and then play hard., There: is no such thing as a nervous break- down, for a man. That’s a woman’s idea. ‘A man has never suffered from overwork, but rather from the lack of play. ‘“Both are nescessary to life and con tentment, and that, after all, is what we are living for. We are not here to see how 1puch gold we can gather, ibut for the purpose of giving happi- ness to ourselves and others. “If it pays to be efficient in the digging dirt, it will certainly pay to practice effeciency in the conduct of ones business. It was proven at Gary, Indiana, that effeciency in the digging of dirt saved the operators $80,000 above the cost of establish- ing the system and the paying of $100.000 for the idea.” Mr. Wisehaupt kept his audience in smiles continually by short snappy stories to illustrate his points, and used a flow of effective language, which drove home the arguments he desired to put over. He will speak every evening at the Civic and Commerce association rooms to those who have secured tickets for the institute and on Friday night will throw the doors open to the public.

Immediate consideration had to be given to the important problem of providing for the customary “addi- tions and betterments” including “motive power and cquipment,” letter of the which the carriers had been obliged “These necessitate large annual ex- penditures which had to be provided for by the railroads themselves not- withstanding the fact that the gov- ernment was temporarily operating the properties. “Under private control the rail- roads procured the money for these purposes by (a) setting aside a part of their net carnings, if sufficient for the purposes, or (b) appropriating a part of their net earnings and sell- ing bonds or new capital stock or both for the remainder, or (c¢) sell- ing bonds or capital stock, or both, for the entire amount. The United States was under no obligation whatever to advance mon- ey for such capital expenditures. In fact, the Federal Control Act, ap- proved March 21, 1918, expressly required that in every agreement hetween the United Statese and the ilroads it should be stipulated that “the United States may, by deduc- tions from the just compensation (rental to be paid the railroads) or by other proper means and charges, be reimbursed for the cost of any additions, repairs, renewals and bet- terments to such property (railroad property) not justly chargeable to the United States.” In pursuance of this act, the di- rector general entered into agree~ ments (known as the standard con- tract) with various railroads pro-~ viding for annual rental or compen- sation to the carriers equal to the (Continuea on Page 6) SOUTHERN RAILWAY MAIL CAR RIFLED BY BANDITS (By United Press) Dennison, Texas, Aug. 25.—Mail cars on the Katy flyer on the Mis~ souri, Kansas & Texas railroad, were refled by bandits today.
