following as. a sure means of destroying
the proOperity of the most promising

from triving don't put up any more new
buildings than you can 'conveniently oc-
cupy yourself. If you should accident!'
ally have au empty: building and any otie
should want to rent it, ask three times
the value of it. Demand a Shylock
price for every spot of ground that God
has given you stewartship over. Turn
a cold shoulder to every mechanic and
business man who seeks to make a litime
with you. Look at every new -comer
with a scowl: Run clown die work of
every new workman. Go abroad for
wares rather than seek to do business. in
