BORROWING MONEY Rich men play different systems. John D, Rockefeller has been. quoted fig attributing his wealth to his abili-| ty at borrowing money. Henry Ford doesn't believe in borrowing. The Ford\Motor Company origin- ally was capitalized at $100,000. Only about $28,000 of this was subscribed in cash. That was the only money that ever went into Ford’s business from the outside. Additions to the operating capital have been created by the! Ford business—taken from profits. | Three years ago, Edsel Ford bought out the minority stockholders. They had 41% per cent of the Ford stock, for which Edsel paid “about 75 mil- lions,” according to Henry Ford, writing in MeClure’s Magazine. | In other words, an original invest-' ment of $11,620 sold for $75,000,000. Ford climbed to success without borrowing much. | Henry Ford, when he decided to make autos instead of watches, had’ wonderful vision and organizing geni- us, also an almost superhuman geni- us at mechanical production. : He: also had, however, an easier, oppoFtunity than John D. Rockefel- er, Both men created industries. | Rockefeller had, as his greatest handicap, this problem: In the early days of the oil industry, the price of crnde, oi] was on worse than a gamb- ling’ basis. It sold for '$20 a barrel and! 20 cents a barrel—both in thd same year. The price of refined oil products fluctuated correspondingly., Rockefeller’s big job was to “sta- bilize” the oil industry—regulate pro-! duction and prices. He succeeded,| through the organization he built up.! But in those early days, there were! not enough profits to supply the! gigantic capital needed by Standard’ il. ‘ Rockefeller borrowed, heavily. He had..to. And the ones from whom he! borrowed made no mistake. You find this out when you buy Standard Btocks, ; How to make money. It is confus- Ing;'with Ford advising against go- ing .into debt, Rockefeller ‘advising borrowing. Back of this is an im- portant “hunch” for Mr, Average Man, ‘ The hunch is this: There is no eut-and-dried rule for accumulating wealth. A method or system that will! work in one industry or situation Will fail financially in another. No ‘two problems are exactly the same. Nor have any two problems the| same ‘solution. Most of us are imitators. We se- lect a successful man as our ideal—| and try to duplicate his system. Fail- ure is inevitable“when we back the| wrong system.

The species is almost ; extinct. PIG Times steadily get better. You see this indicated in the old reliable barometer, pig iron production. In June, 236 tons of pig iron were | turned out by the furnaces for each! 86 tons in July, 1921. The gain is enormous. Best of all, it is not a sensational over-night re- covery. Instead, it is the result of a steady climb that has been going on 11 months. Slow recovery is apt to be permanent. A sick man who gets én his feet too soon usually has a relapse and goes back to bed. WAGES Men who drill wells for oil work long hours. A government check-up} shows that drillers average nearly| 74 hours a week at $1.14 an hour. Tool dressers average 79 hours at 93 cents an hour. Despite these long hours, you hardly ever hear of labor troubles in the oil country. The pay has some- thing to do with it. Coupled with this is a reasonable probability of “getting into businéss for them-| selves.” No troubles getting any one| to work when there is sufficient in-| ducement.

LABOR BLOC NEXT The forecast that a Senate labor bloc will be formed, with Smith W. Brookhart at its head, if he is elect- ed, is not surprising. It is not incre- dible. t It begins to look as if government by political parties in the United States may give way to government by industrial blocs, A few years ago nothing seemed more improbable than that there would be an agrarian party demand- ing, and procuring, Federal legisla- tion, There is a’farm bloc and_ its power has been demonstrated. The limit of its power is not known. There is, and there was before the farm bloc was formed, or believed possible, a high tariff bloc. It is just now exceptionally active and deter- mined.

UNUSUAL FOLK | aT By NEA Service if Lexington, Ky., July 12—Sergeant Samuel Joseph, a vocational trainer here studying telegraphy, has been designated the “most wounded man’ of the World War.” Joseph went over with the First Division in June, 1917, For the next 17 months he was on the firing line almost continuously, but escaped without a wound. Then, in a battle just three days before the armistice, he was shot 102 times. Since then, he has undergone 15 operations, and has a hospital record of 28 months. But now, except for amputated toes on one foot, he has fully recovered.

GO ON WITH THE STORY The old chief's eyes shifted un- easily. “Why did you leave us?” “To see my people and because of Crooked Lightning and __his| brother.” “You fought us.” “Only the brother, and I killed him.” The daunticss mien of the boy pleased the old inan. The lad must take his place as chief. ‘Now White Arrow turned ques- jtioner: . “[ told you I would come when! the leaves fell and I am here, Why Why} Who is the is the new prophet? woman?

When it rose and emerged from the shadows the: firelight showed the malignant, triumphant face of Crooked Lightning.

On his way Erskine met Grey, who apparently was leaving} with a band of traders for Detroit. Erskine met his eyes and Grey smiled. “Aren't you White Arrow?” Somehow the tone with which he spoke the name was an insult. | “Yes.” | Grey's face already red with drink, turned purple with anger. “When you tried to stab me do you remember what I said?” Er- ukine nodded contemptuously. “Well, I repeat it.
