It Is a great thing for a man to
have people say of him, "You can
absolutely rely upon anything he
tells you." No man who Is not an
employer can ever realize the
sense of satisfaction directed to
ward the employe whose state
ments never vary one Jot or tittle
from the absolute tacts. An em
ployer readily develops a feeling of
appreciation and co-operation to
ward the employe whose declara
tions can always be accepted
without checking up or verifica
tion.
People are naturally credulous,
and are Inclined to accept what we
say at its face value. But once
they find wo have a tendency to
get fresh with the truth, thence
forth they take what wo say with
a grain of sodium chloride. Accu
racy of statement Is as much an
asset to the ragamuffin !n the
street as to the president of the
United States. It is a profession
that anybody can practice, and it
pays big dividends.

I DEMANDS SOLUTION

(Kansas City Star)
Out of the revival of Interest In
river traffic ought to come, with
out prolonged delay, a definite
plan for development of Missis
sippi Valley waterways. This sec
tion of the country Is peculiarly
fortunate In the potential traffic
resources of Its rivers. To allow
these resources to lie Idle much
longer, In view of the vital need of
transportation at a lower cost,
would be a tremendous blunder.
One thing Is certain just now.
