INK THAT LIVES
Higgins Eternal Black Writ-
ing Ink is a pure carbon ink.
It will last as long as the paper
on which you write with it. It
is the ink for all public docu-
ments and other permanent
records . . . for signatures,
forms and photographic re-
productions ... for formal
social usage . . . for instruc-
tion in penmanship, where its
clarity and jet-black writing
commend it for training young
fingers to develop hand-
writing of character. In 2 oz.
and 3 oz. cubes; also pints,
quarts and gallons. Ask your
stationer for Higgins Eternal
Black Writing Ink, and write
with an ink that will live.

THE CLOCK OF LIFE.
The ticking of the clock is one of
the most important things in the
world, for it marks the passing of
time. It reminds us that another
second, another hour, another day
has gone. And yet, despite this constant
reminder, most of us go along
wasting time, using it aimlessly,
failing to get out of it either an
enjoyment of life or the satisfaction
of accomplishment. We know
that the opportunity which today
presents will never be repeated, that
Spring fades into Summer, and presently
Winter comes, and we wake
with a start to realize that another
year has passed. Still we postpone
the doing of things. There is
plenty of time, we tell ourselves.
That is the great fallacy. "The
clock of life is wound but once."
Paul W. Litchfield.

—
TO MAKE A HIT WITH THE
BOSS.
B. C. Forbes, business editor,
writer and counselor of many years'
e.xperience, always has the right
idea when it comes to advocating better
business, both in principle and
practice. Even more in the future
than in the past, he says, promotion
in business life will come to those
possessing understanding of human
nature, genial personality, leadership
qualities. Here are a few pointers
for employees who want to make a
hit with those above them:
Strive to solve your own problems.
Try to straighten out your own
troubles. Be cooperative, not carping.
Most executives have enough
to do attending to their own responsibilities.
True, their responsibilities
include untangling snarls. But those
at the top prefer subordinates who
i-arely come to them exeeept to offer
constructive suggestions. The employee
who exercises superior diplomacy,
who develops aptitudes for
handling fellow-employees, is one
likely to be drawn by the boss nearer
to him. Concentrate on being a
trouble-smoother; avoid being a
trouble-raiser. Learn to get things
done without friction, learn to get
other people anxious to help you to
get things done. Learn, in short,
to be a frictionless functioner.

PERSISTENCY.
Six times a spider has spun iti
web outside my bedroom window and
six times I have destroyed it. To
morrow morning I'm sure it will be
there again.
To prevent a spider from spinning
its web time after time in the same
place, one has to kill the spider.
If we had the persistency of spi-l
ders, we'd amount to something
wouldn't we ?
BUSINESS EPIGRAMS.
Make good or make room.
The most profitless thing to manufacture
is excuses.
The man who has done his level
best, and who is conscious that hei
has done his best, is a success, even
though the world may write him
down a failure.
A shady business never yields a
sunny life.
If you lazily remain of no account
you'll never have much of a
bank account.
Don't talk about your abilities.
Demonstrate them.
These spell Failure:
Fickleness
Affectation
Indifference
Laziness
Uppishness
Recklessness
Envy
I will not be an old man before
my time—not in body, for I will
always play; not in mind, for I will
learn continually; not in heart, for
I will live aboundingly; not in soul,
for that is eternal.
In my dealings in the tensest moments
of my life as well as in the
quietest, I will remember that I am
God's man and that truth I will set
above all other truths; and may the
Omnipotent One empower me to *
keep these resolutions to the end of I
my days.—President Holmes, Drake 1
