Your Own Business
,i,sed from A!nie'rican Hebrew, New York, in Magazine Digest)
• During the past thrtee Years I
have had occasion to examine hun-
*reds of financial statements of
those who have consulted me in con -
election with the work to which I
have devoted considerable time,—
that
ime,that of acting as ,business counsel
and giving, to those who seek it, such
advice as thirty-seven years of di-
Iversifred !business experience qualifies
one to offer.
Most business organizations and
individuals who came to me were in
some sort of trouble. But it did not
take a very close scrutiny of the fin-
ancial statement to find out that, in
the main, the trouble was due to a
weakening of the capital structure
through losses in the stock market.
!Successful organizations that had
operated for years, .and had always
been in "the black,” had been bitten
by the stock market 'bug. While, at
first, many of them made consider-
able scams of Money—in some cases
the profits made in the market' were
even greater than the profits of a
legitir+:te business—the crash found
them pyramided to such an extent
that, when the call came for further
margin from their brokers, they tried
to move heaven and earth to protect
their stork holdings. The result was
that, when the smoke of the financial
earthquake cleared. many concerns
found themselves with a business but
no capital to operate with.
Not only had the it operations in
the stock market reduced their cash
position to nil, but they also imperiled
their business structure. For watch-
ing the ticker and hanging around a
brokerage office does not permit strict
attention._ to business, which is re-
quired in any business that aims to
be successful.
During the days of big stock mar-
ket operation, I happened to be ins
the office of the head of a large cor-
poration and, in the course of the
'hour or more than I spent with hint,
the' -four or five telephones on his
desk—two c which were directly con-
nected with the office of his brokers
—kent ringing incessantly. I asked
my friend:
"How is it ;.ossible for you to at-
tend to your business (which; by the
way, was of a national character)
and still give so much of your day to
the buying and selling of speculative
securities ?"
He threw back his head. indulged
in a hearty laugh, and said: "Don't
be silly, Brown. I have made -fore
money in the p.ast eighteen months
on the market than I have in this
business in the past eighteen years.
This country is just coming into its
own. We haven't begun to touch
the high spots yet .and I am cashing
in while' the cashing is good.. Leave
it to me to be smart enough to get
out if the market turns sour,"
Well, the market did turn sour and
he was • no smarter than anybody
else. For he not only lost ail the
money he had madeein the eighteen
or more months of his operation, but
all the money he had accumulated
in the past eighteen years. When he
came to rave, as he finally did, his
business picture looked as though it
had been struck by a cyclone. To
save it from being a complete wash-
out he did what so many smart men
tried to do, and that is to make still
greater sacrifices. So when his fin-
ancial atmosphere was clear, he
found himself with a very small busi-
ness—about where it had been when
he had started eighteen years before,
This case is only one of thousands
of similar cases throughout the eoun•'
try. For nobody was quite ;smart
enough—not even those big banking"
organizations equipped with a staff
of statisticians, institutions that had
on their pay roll, and at their beck
and call, the foremost economists in
the country. Conducting the average
business successfully requires the
full time and attention of all the ex-
ecutives at least during the working
day. You just cannot have your mind
on the ticker tape and on your busi-
ness at the same time.
Some of the cases that were
brought to me were so far gone that
nobody could save them. They were
like .patients who come to the doctor
with he,
rooted cancerous growths
and he, recognizing the fatal symp-
toms, can only shake his head.
There were many tragedies involr-
ed in the cases I contracted with, as
well -as the many that became com-
mon gossip. The events that follow-
ed made there good newspaper copy.
And here we are again in a boom
market, which can he traced directly
to the aggressive action of President
Roosevelt and his A.cLministration,
comieined with a return of confidence
on the part of the people which na-
turally arouses a demand for those
things that people have been with-
out for nearly four years. Business
is again coming into its oe$n. Those
most likely to succeed and cash in,
on the spirel upward, are those who
will mind their own business.
The temptation to play the market.
to recoup some losses, is strong. But
the average business man, if he is
to get anything while the getting is
good, will have to cry out: "Get thee
(behind me, Satan!" There is suf-
ficient of the gamlbling element in
(business generally to satisfy the
speculative urge that neore • er less
possesses all ,of us. There is plenty

of speculation in knowing when to
buy and how to sell within one's own
business, to require all the research
and study that one can spare the
time for, if one is to be up to the
(minute on rapidly changing condi-
tions confronting all manner of busi-
ness during this period -70f transition
through which we are passing.
The Administration in Washington
is using all its power to make avail-
able credit for business. This credit
will come to business -and industry
through the usual channels of bank-
ers and banking groups. The banks
themselves all over this country., have
passed through an experience which
they will long remember. Frozen
loans and bad credits are now, in the
light of hindsight, called bad bank-
ing.
The hanker With money -merchan-
dise on his shelves, encouraged and
helped by the Government, will want
to nes,pose of this merchandise, but
only if the same factors of safety'
are present that the merchant who
has been stung with bad credits is
demanding at the present time. The
banker knows from bitter experience
that the, business man who plays the
stock market with his cash resources
is a dangerous risk and, therefore,
will have none of him.
Your balance sheet will be closely
scrutinized—more so than ever be-
fore. But, regardless of how good a
balance sheet you present, the fact
that the money of the corporation,
and the thought and time of its ex-
ecutive officers,. are being used to°
play the market will mean "thumbs
down" as far as banking credit is
-concerned.
The history of previous depres-
sions should be of interest to those
who have suffered through this one....
If it is true that history repeats it-
self, we are about to enter an era
of business such as has never been
known before in this country. Op-
portunities, are presented to -day sim-
ilar to those at the end of previous
depression periods. But Opportunity
'is a jealous mistress and requires
that strict attention, that, singleness
of purpose, that stick -to -it -i: eness,
whics alone an result in an outpour-
ing of its blessing to you.
No one has had mere faith in the
future of this country than I. • For,
even during the 'darkest days of the
depression, when all around us was
black, I sounded the note of optim-
ism, in all I said and wrote. I be-
lieved in the possibilities then, and I
believe in the possibilities to -day. as
well as the possibilities for to -mor-
row, But I say to the business men
of this country: Unless you mind
your ow -n business, and keep your
mind on your, business, the better
times that are here and the better
tinges that are just in the offing, will
not be for you.
If 'you want to play the market,
make that your business. • But if bus-
iness is to be your business, forget
the market.
I Was Eaten Alive by a Lion
I met Dick Burton . on le Bula-
wayo—Cape Town mailtrain, where
introductions and exchanges of cards
and pedigrees are not necessary pre-
liminaries to con"rersation. 'Soon we
were deep in the topics of common
interest to all those, familiar With
Rhodesia.
•From his remarks on the game of
the country .and some terrible scars
on his left shoulder and arrn, it was
evident that Dick Burton was a
hunter of the old type who knew his
veld well. He gave me an account
of "a little affair he had had with a
lion."
Early in the nineties, he and two
p'rd'cpeetor-friends were trekking
from Fort Victoria to Bulawayo by
ox -wagon. One morning, while Bur-
ton was getting something "for the
pot," accompanied by two native boys
he wounded a hush -buck and' foolish-
ly followed up its spoor through the
dense, high grass. .
Suddenly his eye caught a rapid
movement in the grasp a few yards
away. Up went his rifle but a tenth
of a second too late.
• When some of his serves returned,
h2 was on his back, a lion standing
beside him, eci near• that the yellow
whiskers actually touched his face.
There was a little blood on the sleeve
of his shirt and the lion started lick-
ing it. Soon ,the sleeve disappeared
in .rags and the lion was licking the
shoulder. An attempt to get to his
feet brought a gentle pat with the
paw that broke two of his ribs.
"For the next few years," Burton
continued, "I was floating on a calm
sea, gently rocked by. the waves. I
opened my eyes. The native boys had
disappeared and I was being half -
carried half -dragged, by the lion,
Soon I was floating on the calm sea
again. After several more years my
eyes opened again. This time I was
on the ground, the lion crouching
beside me, licking my shoulder. It
seemed to me that he had always
been doing that and would go on for-
ever. I can hardly explain the feel-
ing, but there seemed to be no past
and no future, only an everlatting
present.
"When next I awakened the lion
was slowly walking away, Perhaps
he had found me too tough. I did
not care. Everything seemed black
silence again. 'When after a mom-
ent which was actually three days—
I opened my eyes, a doctor and a
nurse were at my bedside. My friends
had found me just !before sunset and
brought me to the hospital. During
the next few weeks I mere than once
caught myself wishing that the lion'e
appetite had been better."

WOMEN WILL HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO
ENTER BIG CONTEST
Seaforth One of the Four
Centres At Which Judg-
ing Will be Done.
A home -baking contest and a lec-
ture -tour of unusual interest to the
women of 27 Ontario counties has
just been announced Ihy the Lake of
the Woods Milling Company, to dis-
cover the best hone -bakers of each
county and the champions of the en -
tine area. .
Every woman who lives in any one
of the 27 counties is eligible to enter
either bread or cake, or both, in the
contest and try for the valuable rpruz-
es that are offered.
Local judging is to be done by a
travelling Judge Who is an expert
deititian and lecturer, and who will
visit 43 different towns, under the
auspices of various women's societies,
to deliver public lectures on home -
baking and to judge entries to the
contest. She will begin her tour on
October 31st and complete it about
Fehruage 16th.
The Counties of Huron and Perth
are among those listed for this Coun-
ty Baking Championship Contest and
it is likely that the judging eentres
here will be Exeter, 'Seaforth, St.
Marrs and ListoweI.
In every centre eight local prizes
will be given. These will include
badges, sillier bonbon disi es and
breadknives; and as• soon' as all cen-
trec ina county have been judged,
the county champion for bread and
the county champion for cake will
each receive a silver cake or sand-
w-ich plate.
After the judge has finished her
tour, all the prize -winners will be
eligible to.' try for the Grand Cham-
pionships. Prizes for these will con-
sist of a Sterling •Silver Tea Set of
pieces ane a cheque for fifty
dollars, for the Grand Champion•
Bread -maker and for the Grand
Champion Cake ;Maker. Those who

the, bread and cake section will each
receive a • Sterling Silver Bowl and
cheque for 5525.
For local judging, contestants will
be required to bring their entries to
a .iudging centre in the 'county in
which they live. Only the leaders in
the local contests will be allowed to
enter the grand championship con-
te , which will be judged at Mardon-
a'l�dd Institute, Guelph.
For this final Championship Con-
test, the Lake of the Woods Com-
pany is undertaking to supply the 344
people, who will be eligible to enter,
with containlers in which to pack
their bread or cake for mailing. Eve,
err entry for this must be mailed on
February 127th.The judging will
take place in Guelph on March lst,
and results will be announced as soon
after as possible, The only condi-
tion attached to the local and cham-
pionship contests is that all entries
rust be made with Five 'Roses Flour.
Full details of the judging dates
for this county and of the women's
organizations that will sponsor local
judging will be announced shortly.
Time, For bulbs
' Few phases of gardening are as
simple and satisfactory as the cul-
ture of spring flowering bulbs. No
matter what difficulties have bean ex-
perienced in growing other flowers
*here should be no trouble in secur-
ing striking results with tulips, hya-
cinths, daffodils or any of the small-
er types. There is no cultivation, no
spraying and no transplanting.
This is the ideal tine to plant these
bulbs in most parts of Canada. In
the warmer districts, the job may. be
put off until late October and there
are records of actual •planting in De•
cemlber, when the ground has not
been frozen, and good hlootning tul-
ips resulted. But from the middle to
the end. •of September is generally
conceded •the proper period. As a
general rule most gardeners wait un-
til the regular growth has been cut
down by the first frost as they do
not wish to disturb • the present
bloom.
Winter Blooming Flowers.
These bulbs can also be grown just
as easily indoors. By planting a few
every two weeks from now until
Christmas a succession of bloom will
be obtained throughout most of the
winter. They are usually planted in
fancy bowls or painted tins and the
real secret of success lies in getting
them properly started. The most
satisfactory planting material is spe-
cial fibre, obtainable at all seed
stores. This is clean, moisture ab-
sot'bin.g and very cheap, as it can be
used over and over again. With it
no drainage will be required. One
hyacinth will make a fair show in a
bowl but it is best to plant at least
gyp' 111111

Mother of Nine
Can Do Day's Work
Mr. Lee Suffered With In-
flammation of the Bladder
But Now Well Thanks to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Caledonia, Ont., 'Sept. elst—(Spe-
cial)•—."Dodd's Kidney 'Pills are good
Pills. I used them when I was in
Nova Scotia but stoprpedgidor awhile,"
writes Mrs. Thomas C. Lee, 'a well
known and respected resident of this
place. +1I suffered from inflammation
of the bladder, and when I felt it
coming on I took Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and can safely say they did me a lot
of good. I have been using Dodd's
Kidney Pills for six years and I am
still using them. I am sixty years
of age, • and am married, with nine
children, all living, and can still do
a good day's work."
•Dodd's Kidney Pills put the kidneys
in good working order and all the im-
purities and poisons, are strained out
of the (blood. The result is that new
strength is carried to every part of
the body. That's why so many suf-
ferers, relieved by Dodds: Kidney
Pills sum up their condition, "I feel
like a new person."
three tulips, and up to a dozen or
fifteen narcissus are often put in the
ordinary bowl. The fibre is pressed
firmly about the bulbs, and the lat-
ter are only planted deep enough to
cover all but the tips. The pot•, is
then well watered and stored in some
cold, dark place. This start is es-
sential with all but the narcissus
which can be grown in the open win-
dow. A temperature of around 50
degrees is about right though it will
not matter if it goes lower. A tem-
perature of around 50 degrees is
about right though it will not matter
if it goes lower. The pots should
not be allowed to dry out. Tulips,
daffodils and hyacinths ar'e left in
this cold' dark place until the pots
are filled' with roots and the stems
have started to grow. Some varie-
ties will 'take longer than others, and
thus by selecting the most advanced
bulbs and bringing out a few pots at
a time, a log 'blooming period can
be obtained. From the cellar the
pots are brought into full light and
a normal room temperature. They
are watered liberally and soon reach
the blooming stage. • Once the flow-
ers are open.keep as cool as possible,
especially at night in, order to pre-
vent wilting. This rule applies to all
indoor blooms and cut flowers.
Moving Time.
Early Spring is the betime to
move most perennial flowers, shrubs
and young 'trees, though if necessary
a good deal of this work may also
be carried out in the Fall. at is well
to get it over in ISeptember so that
some growth can be made this Fall
and it is essential that the plant be
well watered both before lifting and
after arrival in its new quarters. A
full pair of water is not too much for
the ordinary plant. Of the peren-
nials, iris, •peony, delphiniums, phlox
and others are divided with a sharp
spade and moved at this time. Shal-
low planting is advisable with the
first two.
FARM NOTES
Eggs for market should never be
exposed to direct sunlight, rain, of
to extreme heat. IIt is a good plan
always to keep the eggs • covered
with a cloth or other means to pre-
vent fading or evaporation. In mar-
keting, or at any other time, eggs
shofild not be placed near kerosene,
onions, fish or other strong smelling
substances, because the eggs readily
absorb odours.
Richest Farm Manure
Poultry manure is undoubtedly the
richest produced on the farm. Poul-
trmanure, however, ever, ferments. very
quickly, losing if left exposed, a large
proportion of its nitrogen as am-
monia. This fact emphasizes the"'de-
sirability of :systematically and fre-
quently cleaning off the boards be-
areath the roosts, a ,plan that also
conduces to the general good health
and thrift of the fowl. In summer
the manure, previously mixed with
loam to destroy stieidness and facili-
tate distribution, may be applied di-
rectly to the land and worked rvvith
the surface soil—its best preserva-
tive. In winter (and at other sea-
sons when the manure cannot be us-
ed directly) it should be mixed with
a fair proportion of loam; dried peat,
muck ,sawdust, together with a little
land plaster • o.r superphosphate to fix
the nitrogen. It should then be pack-
ed tightly in barrels or boxes and
stored protected from rain until re-
quired in the spring. Lime and wood
ashes Should not be used for this pur-
pose as they set free nitrogen. Poul-
try manure being essentially nitro-
genous is particularly valuable for
garden and leafy crops generally, and
the majority of poultry keepers will
no doubt do well to reserve it for
this use. However, if the amount
available permits, it can be profitably
employed for the -cereals, grasses,
roots and corn.
Gangsterisrn and Kidnapping

him to a degree sufficient to destroy
him for ever. ''Both had miscalculat-
ed.
-(Confident of his power, Capone be-
gan by pretending that he had no
money. He had an answer 'ready to
every question. When the judge ask-
ed him to explain how a poor anan
could afford to' wear shirts at $25
a rpi'eoe, Capone said they were a gift
from Mayor Thompson. His sumptu-
ous automplbiles were the• -property of
his wife and she paid the rent ofshis
palatial villa at Miami.
Capone dominated the proceedings
in the beginning, there was no doubt,
But he suddenly changed strategy
Thereby contlmitting the second great
mistake of his life. He compromised
and offered to pay a fine of $250,000,
'May be his nerves, gave, way. At any
rate he took the Court by surprise,
at the same time giving the prosecu-
tor an opportunity of in$uencing
public opinion against him.
Followed a eer es of iberroristIre
acts staged to discredit the gang-
sters. Gangsters were supposed to
have fired at a perambulator behind
which a rival gangster was allegedly
hiding. Incidents happened which
any expert would have immediately
classified( as frame-ups and falters.
The most spectacular and monstrous
of these bluffs was the "mysterious"
kidnapping of the Lindergh baby.
No professional gangster is a kid-
napper. No ordinary criminal would
have dared kidnap the most popular
baby in the country for lblaekmailing
nurposes,; for he would have had at
his heels not only the entire police
force of the United States but all or-
ganized gangsters Only a very
powerful organi,ation could afford
the luxury of such an outrage a-
gainst the popular idol, and only mien
acting in the interest of that organ-
ization could be the material execu-
tors of such a devilish plan.
Anyone who knows the situation,
is aware that the Lindbergh kidnap-
ping was born in the atmosphere of
the anti -gangster campaign. It was
not for the rest the first time that
the police had resorted to frame-ups.
Nothing could be more clumsy and
ridiculous than the' attitude of the
police. 'Within a radius of seven
miles from Hope•weIl they searched
the territory minutely with every a-
vailable technical ;means. But the
only natural method was not resorted
to: namely, police dogs, which -would
have found the scent immediately.
One of Capone's men got in touch
with the authorities demanding that
dogs be put on the trail. Needless
to ,say, this was never done, and
probably only Al pone himself
knows the reason why.
(Capone knew what was going. on,
and his knowledge as well as the
prestige of the gangsters induced him
at the time to offer his services for
the recoeery of the .baby, and not,
as was said, the hope to thus regain
his freedom. He did not have to do
it, for the whole affair lay entirely
outside of his sphere of interest.
!It. is a fact that Capone's men were
tracking the kidnappers and the po-
lice and that the tracks took them 'to
New York. The two kidnappers were
only a few hours ahea-d of them. One
of therm, Louis Ortata, was well
known in gangster circles as a stooi-
pigeon.• : He fell into the hands of
his pursuers and was questioned af-
ter gangster fashion. He soon con-
fessed and Wet --with his fate at the.
hands of a gangster secret tri-
bunal. There was,no sense in de-
livering him to jstice because his
confession would have been of no
value before' a regular court. His
body was later fished from the Hud-
son.
In the meantime the other man got
frightened. He was sure that the
revenge of the gangsters awaited. ,
him also. Therefore, he murdered
the baby. But he too got what he
deserved and it must have been his
body that was found, riddled with
bullets, in a field a few hundred miles
from Hopewell, shortly after the dis-
covery of the dead baby.
Most peculiar was the 'part played
by the shipowner Curtiss. He is a
rich man -the alleged money trou-
bles were invented later to save ap-
pearances—and he did not mix with
the affair for money. But he con-
tinued to supply money to non -exist -
ant kidnapping gangs. His boundless
ambition was responsible for his mad
behavior. He hoped to become Am-
erica's national hero. When the
death of .the baby and the kidnappers
was confirmed, the police dropped
him and instituted proeedings
against hint.
There is no doubt that the Lind-
bergh kidnapping case was the last
great drive against Capone and
,gang'sterisml in general. They had
hoped, that in the course of the trial
enough evidence of murder would be
fortheomin'g against Capone to send
him to the electric chair. They were
disappointed and somlething else had
to be done.
Prosecution and defence put their
heads together and deliberated tie-
hind closed doors. The result was:.
eleven years in prison.
Capone's, transfer to the peniten-
tiary was a 'theatrical masterpiece.
The display of armed force and nt1a-
1 chine guns was overwhelmitl . Mo-
tion picture companies sent operators
to the station to fix on the film the
Memorable scene, so that it might
not be lost to future generations. All
cameras were pointed at Capone, as
he was being pushed into the prison
coach. But nobody was allowed to
shoot the scene of his getting' out
from the opposite side and boarding
a drawing room compartment.
Pathetic pictures of his life in pris-
on have been published by the news-
papers. Perhaps it is best that peo-
ple should believe them.
Like any capitalist enterprise,
gangsterism stands.. and falls with,
prosperity. Th1e sante phenomenon
—the amalgamation into big trusts
--determined its rise, and the same
circunrlstances caused its collapse.
The stock .exchange crash and re-
sulting crisis produced a spectacular
slump in the bootlegging business, by
greatly diminishing the purchasing
capacity of private clients and speak-
easies. On the other hand the mar-
ket soon (became flooded with an
army of Manipulators of adulterated
alcohol, the sale of which was the
only means of gaining a Hying for
thousands of unemployed.
The government then decided to de -
,vise a new strategy in the struggle
against the gangsters. Four thou-
sand gangsters had defied the coun-
try. What would happen if the .ranks
of the underworld arnsy swelled with
scores of thousands of unemployed?
(The blow that the government was
preparing to strike was aimed at one
man—Al Capone, whom they feared
more than anybody else. Four at-
tempts were staged at his life but
were frustrated by his bodyguard.'
After, the fourth attempt, howev-
er, I got worried and decided that
something had to be done about it. I
had a talk with Al and tried to per-
suade him to leave America. We all
had money enough to retire from
business. But he got furious and
called me a quitter. He was too
young and acti'v'e, he said, to give up
fighting. • The depression would soon
•be over and, besides, nobody- would
dare do anything to him.
All my efforts to persuade him to
accompany me to Europe failed. But
my forebodings were to come true
only too soon. All other methods
having failed, the government insti-
tuted proceedings against Al Capone
for tax evasion. The trial ended with
an eleven years' prison sentence. Its
motivation was typical. The public
prosecutor failed to obtain any other
evidence against him, while. Capone
had in hand piles of incrimlinating ev-
idence against every member cy the
Court. •
'Both parties had speculated bad-
ly. (Capone knew that the atmos-
phere was hostile to him owing to
the general situation, and he was not
averse to the idea of being sentenced
to a y -ear in jail, so as to leave done
with it once for alb His adversaries
