it i? the onrush of our business life.
Our economic progress plunges ahead
at a rate unheard of In the history of
the nations of the world and every
industrial and financial leader ts; daily
brought face to face with new and
perplexing , problems requiring the
highest courage and Intelligence for
their solution. *
Ninety billions a year, they tell us,
this country Is 'now producing in new
wealth. The rate of Increase is even
more staggering than the amount. It
is difficult to say where It may lead
us In even ten or fifteen years.
We are moving exceptionally fast.
Our economic and Industrial structure
is placing before us problems of
greater and greater magnitude. Few
men can see far ahead. Few are In
complete control, for this Is a changing
world, as even the most Inexperienced
business man will readily testify.
Our methods of adjusting ourselves
rapidly to economic changes
and of cooperating are far from perfect.
What an opportunity the leadership
of five, ten or fifteen years from now
presents! What an adventure it will
be! What responsibilities it will lay
upon the broadest shoulders that may
be found! This Is the challenge to
leadership as I see it. In the hands of*
the young men must rest the responsibility
for this leadership.
Boys Who Reached the Pinnacles
Business is full of the romance of
youngsters whose chief characteristic
was working hard and keeping at it.
There Was a green farmer boy who decided
he would rather stand behind
a counter than follow a?plow. He
seemed so obviously lacking in sales
ability that for a time no merchant
would hire him. He failed in his first
position, and in his second his salary
was reduced. He even agreed that he
was a misfit?but he stuck. Out of
his first five stores, i believe, three
failed. But he persisted and worked
hard. And that boy, Frank W. Woolworth,
became the greatest retail
merchant In the world with a store
in every city of eight thousand or more
population in this ,ountry.
. There was another lad who clerked
In a grocery store sixteen hours a day
and studied mathpviatics in his odd
moments. He became interested in
the doings of the steel plant whose employees
traded at this store. He began
to study steel and sought a position
in the plant. He carried a surveyor's
chain and drove stakes. At
night he studied mathematics and engineering.
He did not despair. He
could not he diverted. He kept the
pressure on for seven years. And that
hoy, Charles Schwab, mastered the
iron industry and became one of the
country's great industrial leaders.
There was a lad who sold papers on
a train. When he grew up, several
million men and a score of billions of
dollars of capital were given profitable
employment through his Inventions.
Even la middle life, Thomas Edison
continued to work twenty hours a day,
If necessary to achieve his purpose.
Leadership is not play. Leadership
offers countless positions of varying
opportunity, of which the highest pinnacles
will mean almost unbearable
responsibility in the new era. There
will be men with the fire and Iron to
qualify even for these places. Such
men mnst have had the very finest
preparation awd the most grueling I
tests, Their reward will be the attainment
of these highest pinnacles of
a^ilevement, and the rendering of an
Immeasurable service to their times.
MAIL BOX THEFTS
* AID CHECK FORGERS
American Bankers Association in
Nationwide Warning Exposes
Methods and (fives Rules
to Combat Them. .
NEW YORK.?Active operations In
many cities of mall box thieves, who
open hank communications to customera,
containing details of their accounts
and cancelled checks showing
their banking signatures, and toe this
material In perpetrating check forgeries,
have led the American Bankers
Association to issue a nation-wide
warning to Its members with i^njtructkras
for combating this form of crime.
The warning as sent out by James E.
Baum In charge; of the associate's
Protective Department saye:
"Heavy losses are being sustained
through cancelled vouchers and statements
stolon from the mall boxes of
, Y ' * - -
V. A- : - A - -
bank depositors If spartmsnt and ofHce
buildings, thus divulging the da*
posltors' balances and supplying modale
for forged checks. As a step
to put customers on guard against
these -methods, banks are urged to instruct
every depositor to whom they
mall statements of deposit accounts on
the last business day of each month to
notify them promptly if such statement
are not received by the cloae of
the neat day.
"Also bankB should educate depositors
to safeguard blank checks and
cancelled Touchers as they would
money. Such paper stolen by forgers
soon puts real money In their hands.
If all blank checks and cancelled
vouchers were securely kept In safea
instead of filling cabinets or desks, the
check crooks would be denied their
chief block In trade, namely, genuine
blank checks and signature#. Warnings
to depositors against leaving
blank or cancelled checks accessible to
sneak thieves or burglars should be
sent out at once,
"Estimates broadcast by surely companies
indicate that individuals, merchants,
hotels and others outside of
banking are shouldering more than 99
per cent of the total amount of forgery*
losses. The bulk of forgery loss
on checks is sustained by those who
are willing to risk accepting them
without reliable proof of Identity'or
title of the presenter,
"Years ago the Protective Department
of the American Bankers Association
adopted the slogan, 'Strangers
are not always crooks, but crooks are
usually strangers.' If those outside of
banking could be prevailed upon to
observe this rule and think about It
when considering accepting a check
for their merchandise or services, for
which they are also asked to give a
substantial sum in cash in change, one
of the biggest aids to the forgery business
would be denied the crooks."
SCRUB BULL IS
HALED TD COURT
(T- tl
Placed on Tnial for Hindering
Development and Prosperity
of Dairy Industry. ?
Indicted for robbery, larceny, and A
few other such charges, Scrub Bull
went on trial for his life at Laurel,
Mississippi, recently. It seems that
for some "time-people had suspicions
that Mr. Bull was hindering the right
and lawful development of the dairy
industry, thereby "maliciously and
wilfully lowering production and decreasing
profits In the dairy business,**
says the Bulletin of the American
Bankers Association Agricultural
Commission in commenting on tha
case.
This, It says, was the first trial of
its kind ever held in that section and
was attended by several hundred people.
The Jury, representing every vocation
within the boundaries of tha
Laurel trade territory, rendered a
unanimous verdict of "guilty." Tha
death sentence was pronounced, "but
during the night, before the sentence
could be carried out, friends of the
couvidt secretly spirited him away
and he has not been seen since."
The arraignment came during the
Milk Products Show sponsored by the
banks of Laurel. People attending
the show had the opportunity of also
attending the bull's "trial" and went
away firmly convinced of the seriousness
of lax and out-of-date methods In
the pursuit! of dairying. The purposes
of both the Milk Products Show
and the trial were threefold, namely:
to develop public aentiment'for mora
b and better Jerseys; to foster a mora
' cooperative spirit for dairying ahd
livestock growing, gnd to promote tick
eradication. .
The banks of Laurel entered Into si
cooperative arrangement in their efforts
for fostering agricultural development
and successful farming in tha
community, offering $2,165 as premiums
to the outstanding farm worker#
throughout the territory during 1929.

WINTER GRAZING CROPS
BOON FOR DAIRY COWS.
Clemson College, Sept. 23.?Excellent
results have been secured at
Clemson College by planting a mixture
of rye, oats, and barley as winter
grazing for dairy cows, reports
Prof. J. P. LaMa&ter, chief of the division,
who says that small herds of
dairy cattle are especially suitable
for using these crops to promote the
milk yield.
Heavy seeding has beep found to
be desirable when the crops are in.
tended for grazing purposes. One
bushel of rye, one bushel of oats, and
one bushel of barley per acre is, of
course, very heavy seeding, but gives
excellent results for this purpose.
Prof. LaMaster advises seeding at
oocb.
In the Piedmont section cows must
be kept off %hese grazing crops when
the land is wet. However, in the
Coastal Plains and Sand Hills sections
very little attention needs be
paid to the condition of the land.
The most important reasons why
many, farmers do not get satisfactory
Results from Winter grazing
crops"are: First, they fail to plant
early enough in the fall to permit
a growth sufficient for grazing to begin
in November and early December
and thus limit their use to early
spring grazing; second, they fail to
plant these crops on good rich land
or properly fertilize them.
These winter grazing crops are
worth more than their real feed value
because they stimulate the appetite
and help to ke^p the cows in good
physical condition during a period
. when usually only dry feed is used.

WINTER LEGUMES ARE
DROUGHT INSURANCE
Clemson College, Sept. 23.?The
yield of corn in South Carolina is
largely dependent upon the amount
of moisture available-during the time
when the grain is being produced,
says T. S. Buie, head of the agronomy
division. While a farmer has no
control over the aihount of fain irfhich
will fall during any given period, he
does have considerable control over
the amOunt retained for the use of
the growing crop.
Increased organic matter content
of the soil means better waterholding
capacity, therefore legume crops for
soil improvement may be considered
as drought insurance. This is clearly
indicated in county agent S. M. Byars'
August report for Anderson county.
"All corn is badly damaged by the
drought and indications are that our
corn crop will be cut fully 50 per
cent," says Mr. Byars.- "The value of
cover crops preceding com is outstanding.
The corn demonstration
with W. W. Beaty, where a good crop
of vetch was turned under preceding
the com, has shown little effects of
the drought. No fertilizer at all was
used on the com, yet it will make
fully four times as much as that on the
adjoining land where a complete
fertilizer and side dressing were
_ used."
The planting of winter legumes on
land to be devotdd to corn in 1030 is
to be encouraged.
