Maybe if the United States govern- ment stops buying those chunks of silver bullion from Mexico, that country will cease confiscating American property, after it has been developed. Some time ago President Cardenas stole all the for- eign-owned oil properties, and now comes the news that he has confiscated 1,500,000 acres of land from American citizens who bought the properties from chicle com- panies many years ago.

CINCHING A JOB A few years ago, at the age of 79, | Thomas F. Ryan died worth many millions of dollars. In the meantime he had given away a lot of money also. But, so far as the main facts of his life are concerned, they do not differ greatly from those of | other poor boys who have risen to wealth and power. A little story is told, however, which may give some insight into the manner in which young Ryan got his start toward great riches. His first job was with a Baltimore dry goods stere, where *he hired fc a week and told to report for work the next morning. Now, he was in about that job and didn’t want to take any chances on letting it get away | frem him, so he said to the boss: “If you don’t mind, I'll start right now without any for today.” Needless to say he made good on that job, and two years later, at the age of 19, he obtained employment in Wall Street. At the age of 23 he became a member of the New York Stock from was | earnes Exchange, which time his rise in the financial world © was rapid and he became one of America’s richest men. Doubtless his remarkable success was due to the spirit which he displayed in cinching his first job—his willingness to “start right now.”’ A good many boys of today might emulate that spirit with profit to themselves. ANOTHER VICIOUS CIRCLE When you get tired of war news and preparedn programs, begin to pass up third term rumors and ignore the vital is- sues of the day, you might as well hunt up a good book and read some pleasant fiction. If this doesn’t work in your case, you might try a fishing trip, a leisurely jour- ney somewhere or other, or do something else that suits your peculiar disposition and pocketbook. When you get through with it, you { will probably be strong enough to begin reading again about war, preparedness, the third term and vital issues. So goes he world in what we refer to as this en- | lightened age.

The reporter worked haphaz- ardly among the school officials and teachers, using the question, “Who do you think will carry your county for United States’ Senator?” With one exception the answer was “Senator An- drews” and the majority of those questioned amplified their opin- ion by the statement that they think he will be re-nominated in the first primary. Concluding question in this cross-section, revealed that those interviewed were as widely sep- arated as Pensacoilf and Miami,: |with numergus, scattered coun- ties in state-wide, array.
