"Wanted?An Old Fashioned Young
Man."
i
(I3y Men Teachers in Type Metal
Magazine.)
"Edward S. Jordon has made prob1
ably a hundred speeches on this sub(ject:
'Wanted?Old-Fashioned Young
i Men."
That is the most thought-provoki
ing subject I have heard of this year,
j Mr. Jordon, by the way, is a successful
young man, the founder and president
of the Jordon Motor Car Co.,
of Cleveland.
I missed the opportunity to hear
Mr. Joidon when he was in my neighborhood,
ar.l so I asked him to give
me a brief outline of his talk. He
writes:
"The old-fashioned young man is
a young man who has learned how
perfectly simple it is to succeed once
he learns a simple lesson which can
best be illustrated by a statement
once made to me by Henry M. Leland,
that wonderful old man who
built the Cadillac car.
"He said, 'Every young man reaches
u point in his career when he has
aha ft?t/v /tAiiyooc T-f ho
tU bllWdC Vile VI wnv WUA9VW* u, mv
chooses to be clever he will meet a
great deal of competition. If he
chooses to be just plain, old-fashioned
honest he will be so unique that he
will make an immediate success.'
"You can get 5,000 to 15,000 words
in any smoking compartment on any
subject from the rate of exchange
to the liquor question. Most young
men are spending most of their time
talking about how conditions will
have to materially change before business
will ccme back.
"May the.Lord have pity on them,
because they will discover before very
long that business has never been
known to come back.
"If a man asks me how;'I find business
I always answer, 'By going out
and looking for it'
"The old-fashioned young man used
to go out and look for it in the following
manner: In the first place
he was very happy that his health
was good.
"He rode in the day ccaches at
night, never in the sleepers, and he
covered every small town in his territory
at top speed, trying as hard
as he possibly could to get even a
small order for his house. He saw
as many prospects as he possibly could
in every town, and some times covered
five or six small towns a day,
each day.
"When he got back to the hotel
at night he found a roller towel, a
general wash basin, .a dirty piece of
soap, a comb on a chain, and when
he got up in the morning he usually
found ice in the pitcher on the
wash stand.
"But today the young man who is
out selling goods regrets seriously
that he cannot carry his sticks with
him for an occasional game of golf
with one possible prospect. He kids
himself into believing that that is thq
way to get business.
! "He complains about the food at
j the hotel, quarrels with the waiters,
engages his chair in the parlor Car
and his berth for the next jump before
he starts out to solicit business.
He reads all the cheap fiction that
he can find instead of reading the
autobiography of Benjamin Franklin,
and he can tell you the batting average
of all the bootleggers in every
locality.
"There are three fundamental characteristics
of the old-fashioned young
man. The first characteristic was
spiritual?not that he went to church
any more than the young man of
today, although he did, but he had
an appreciation for that fundamental
which is the essence of success?the
desire to be of service to somebody
else.
"Second?he found it absolutely
necessary to have knowledge of his
business, because the telephone, the
telegraph and the night letter had
not been developed to their present
height of efficiency. He had to know
all about his goods and get the order
the first time because he could not
travel nearly so fast as a salesman
can today.
"Third?be possessed the courage
to ignore the sneers of the salesman
across the street who was not so
ambitious and who in these days
makes a bluff at working a few hours
a day and spends the rest of the time
talking about it.
"I asked one of our old-fashioned
salesmen the other day whether he
was not pleased that business was
getting better? He said, 'No. I am
not. I am afraid that a lot of ray
competitors who are loafing on the
job will find it out and go to work.'
"The old-fashioned young man used
to get to work on time in the morning.
M\e old-fashioned boss used
to be^here, too, and while money
was At made so rapidly as it was
dunar the five years of war, more
was deposited and invested in
interest-paying bonds.
"The year of 1922 will r^vard oldfashioned
young men. They have the
greatest opportunity of their lives.
''It is only necessary for any young
man who wants to make $10,000 a
year to make up his mind at eight1
o'clock tomorrow morning that he
! will stop thinking of himself entireI
ly and start to work for ths other
| fellow. The revelation that he will
; receive within a very few days will
so inspire him and increase his own
happiness that he will undoubtedly
adopt the habit for the year to come.
"Once he forms the habit of serving
the other fellow in such a way
that the other fellow cannot help return
the service, he will discover the
first secret of success and personal
happiness. Money, about which people
talk so loosely, will come incidentally."
o
SHALL 1 POISON THE WEEVIL?
Prof. Conradi, Entomologist, Makes
Further Suggestions.
Clemson College, May 24.?Farmers
. .10 have not yet made up their minds
definitely whether or not they want
to poison will have to decide this matter
without delay, as the season for
poisoning is rapidly approaching and
it requires time to secure machines
and calcium arsenate. Before deciding
one should carefully weigh the
following considerations, advised Prof.
A. F. Conradi, entomologist.
1. High yielding land. It is regarded
that any land not yielding onehalf
bale of cotton per acre in the
absence of the weevil is poor land
and that poisoning on such land may
not be expected to prove profitable.
2. Heavy weevil infestation. Unless
checked by unfavorable weather
conditions, we may expect heavy weevil
infestation over the greater portion
of the State.
3. Proper preparation for poisoning
and full determination to apply
the poison correctly, By this is meant
properly constructed ' machines,
through prosecution of the poisoning
schedule, and a determination to give
it the necessary personal attention.
Under these conditions, poisoning
properly carried out may be expected
to give profitable results if the weather
is not so unfavorable as to make
it impossible to apply the poison correctly.
Of course weather condition
is always a serious factor in faiming,
and one that has to be reckoned vitl.
every season. Wherever poisoning
is decided upon, we confine our recommendations
to dusting, because in
every case where profitable results
were secured in carefully conducted
tests, they were secured by dusting.
Directions for making infestation
counts as well as for poisoning are
furnished upon application to the
Extension Service.

Some Cows These!
A news dispatch from North Boston,
Mass., says: Guernsey cattle brought
a total of $262,930, an average of
$2,738 a head, at the dispersal sale
ra^antlv /vf fVin T anou'atar farm harrl
of the estate of Frederick Lothrop
Ames. Two thousand cattle lovers
who attended the sale pronounced i$
the most remarkable ever held. The
record price of $19,500, paid for
Langwater Cleopatra by R. J. Benson
of Princeton, N. J., is reckoned the
highest price ever paid for a Guernsey
cow. The bull Langwater Warrior,
head sire of the herd, was sold for
$15,000 to Miss Ruth Twombly of
Madison, N. J., who also purchased
Langwater Memoir, a daughter of
Langwafer Warrior, for $13,000.
