Tweeten the commis- fmner at large for the New Beltrami coun- Mr. Tweeten is a suecessful farmer,. Yvhlch in itself speaks for the gentleman irom Lammers township. He has several times tried for election from Mr. Haye’s drstril_ct, but has'missed the mark by close margins each time. The choice of Mr. Tweeden meets the approva} of County Republican Commit- tee Chairman, E. B. Berman and S. C. Bai- ley. qf the State Auditor’s office, who are guiding the affairs in this county for Gov- ernor Preus. 3 The Grygla distroct laid their claims * before the governor it is understood, which was to the effect that they should have representation on the board, but the argu- ments presented by his committeemen in Mr/Tweetens behalf, could not be ignored by his Excellency. ¢ Mr. Tweeten will make a good commis-. sioner. He has been in close touch -with county affairs for years and. knows the needs of the county, especially in the ter- ritory which he is located. He should fit into the vacancy . on ' the board, so that its workings * will ' proceed ‘without ‘interuption and his council and advice will be valuable to the members at all times. - . The board members -are men of vision and ‘are broad minded. It is our, prediction and hope that they will appreciate the fact.:. that the Grygla country needs '.attention. and consideraion. These .good'. people wanted direct representation on theboard; We did express a hope that this wonld be granted them, but in as much as the, pow- " érs that be saw fit to chose another :man, we feel that all members of the, board:’ should at all times give these settlers ‘ the fairest of treatment. e—-] AN INVESTMENT TEST An editorial writer who is frequently of- fered opportunities to invest in oil pools of fabulous promise, and “gilt-edge securi- ties” of which no established financier seems to have heard, hias what he calls an ‘tae¢id test t oapply to all such propositions. —————————————————————————————————— e e e e He submits the.following questions,to the promoter or solicitor: “Give me the names of ten persons for whom your schemes have made money in the past. . “Furnish me a sworn statement showing how much of your own money and that of your immediate associates you have put into your enterprise. “Furnish me statements-from repu- table bankers and.business men , that <, yourhave made your.money: honestly . i have made any.” " = o ur oilpoolis | s eabulously’. ” d.ozg';t you ask__sqa{:dard 0Oil anza offered, but the spirit n remains the same The-author says it is usually safe to bet-that he will never hear of the matter again, for he sel- dom does.—Ex. 5 § * POINTERS FOR EXECUTIVES “The, first consideration in business,” says C, S. Mott, vice-president’of the Gen- eral Motors Corporation, in Forbes Maga- zine, “is to see to.it that you produce some- thing for which there is a demand. “The next thing is to make the thing right, and the next—as important as any— is to make the price right. “You must exercise eternal vigilance in watching overhead. Many little expenses run into a large sum in the end. Some con- cerns concentrate almost wholly upon re- ducing production costs and neglect sell- ing costs. Economic distribution is just as essential as economic production. Get facts. Never guess. Keep complete statistical records. Know every month ex- actly what_your business kas done in a‘l its departments. Don’t merely have these stastics compiled study them, analyze them, use them as a basis for your reason- ing, as a foundation for your vision of the future and your planning. Get down to the bedrock of things, Investigate things to the bottom. Think things through to the very bottom. “Devote careful attention to training other men to shoulder -and properly dis- charge responsibilities. Wihen you get to- wards the top, or to the top organize your self out of a job. Encourage your best co- workers to reach out for greater responsi- bilities. Dcn’t overlook others’ shioulders every moment of the day to see what they are doing. Give them scope. Give them latitude. Encourage them to think for them- selves. Encourage them to develop intiia- tive. Don’t pounce on them when they make mistakes; sit down and reason things out with them so that, while they won’t make the same mistake again, they wen't be afraid to exercise;orginality again lest they might make another mistake.” —t AN HOUR WITH BINGHAM The high school students enjoyed a thir- ty minute period of genuine fun Monday forenoon listening to Ralph Bing.hqm, Am- erica’s foremost platfrom humorist. He made them laugh without saying a word He is funny. He knows it. He gets paid for making people laugh and people pay for this privilege. An hour with Bingham is worth the price, regardless of the cost. A COW FOR CHRISTMAS .
