SAVE THE “STRIPPINS" A PRETV GOOD WAY TO FIND BUSINESS SUCCESS Hugh Fullerton in the Columbus Dispatch Old Dusty Miller woe 50 the other day, and he wrote one of the most interesting reminiscent articles ever printed, to review his life and what had taken place on earth during his time. The majority of writers would have required a dozen volumes to tell the events of the last 50 years, and Dusty tells them In less than four columns, and really gives the reader more than he would get out of a history of our times. That old Newmarket memory of Dusty’s retains the vital points, and he remembers more than the aver age historian ever could dig up, and every sentence brings back a picture of the past, or drives home some point of homely philosophy. He says one thing in a single sen tence which sums up the economic secret of the world. ‘Tve milked cows and saved the strippins—and in saving the strippins, learned the secret of business success. Dusty is right. Sitting there at the side of the cow. her wet, burr filled and slapping him at the side of the head, warming his ears by pressing them in turn against her 'lank, warming his stiffened fingers by holding them in her flank or squirting warm milk over them, he discover the se’ret of riches and security. He saved the strippins; the richest of the milk, which is the last pint extracted after the heavy flow has ceased. The “strippins,” this farm boy re alized. are the same as the ‘penny saved.” the same as the 2 or 3 per cent laid away for investment, or for safety. The rich strippins, added to the cream, went into butter and brought a greater return than the bulk milk ever did. There really isn’t any other secret of success in> any line of business beyond saving the “strippins” of that business, and extracting the fullest possible amount. The “milk” of any business or profession is that which covers first cost, wages, over head and Interest; and when that is done, the remainder that can be ex tracted either by patience, hard w ork or by brains, represents the strip pings—the ultimate net protit— which is the “strippins” of the In dustry. In this country, especially, because of its richness in natural resources, few of us, excepting those possess ing the rare genius of a Rockefeller or a Carnegie, ever saves the strip pings. Yet it Is noticeable that prac tically every great fortune in Amer ica owes its foundation to thorough milking and saving the stripping;; to add to the “skimmins.” There isn't really any other way of getting rich that is worth while, because the riches gained by gam bling, by knavery, by skirting the edge of the law. by "outsmarting'’ others, are never real or lasting Possibly it is because all easy" money is not appreciated and is soon dissipated, while the dollars earned and saved by means of hard work bring a satisfaction of their c.wn. I experienced an illuminating illus tration of this fact once. There lives in New York a very famous and ex tremely wealthy society woman. She and her family possess millions, and in addition to that, unlike most of her class, she is interested in human beings. In her own circle she is un easy and restless, but outside of it she is vital with interest, because | everything Is new to lie.. She likes reporters, not especially for them self es. not because they are new in her life, and because ahr half envies i them in their contact with nil sorts and conditions of men.

The young papa and the millionaire grand dad were there to welcome the new member of the clan. came out to the far west in a pri vate car, bringing a party. We took her in charge, and the first night in a small cow town we took her to the dance hall, where the girls danced with aU comers at 10 cents a dance, the girl getting half the re ceipts. There were reporters, cow punch ers, oil men, "sports.” cattle and horse ranchers, gamblers and all sorts present, and she was the queen of the evening. She made more than $2 dancing with the natives, and, the next morning, she sent each oi the professional girls, whose busi ness she had damaged, a check for $25. But she clung to the $2.10 she had made. Two years later I met her in New York in a shop. She opened her hand bag. took out a small, jeweled purse, and showed me the money made out in Montana, explaining simply: "It is the onlv honest money I ever earned, and I'll always keep it.

ARBOR DAY TO BE OBSERVED Hundredth Anniversary of Founder’s Birth to Give Increased Significance Nebraska City, Neb. — ^UP) — Arbor day, founded by J. Sterling Morton, Nebraska City pioneer, as a day for the plahting of trees, will be more widely observed this year than for any year in its history. April 22 of this year will mark the 60th anniversary of the holiday and the centennial of the birth of its founder. Citizens of Nebraska City, of the state, of the nation and even of foreign countries will pay tribute on that date to the founder of the day and the ideal which it expresses. Honor will be paid the founder of Arbor day by the federal govern ment through issuance on April 22 of a stamp, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Morton. Arrangements for issuance of the special postage stamp were made through efforts of the Ne braska City postmaster, the cham ber of commerce, influential resi dents of Nebraska City and the state. Plans already have been made by Postmaster Frank Bartling for the handling of thousands of letters which are expected to go through the cancellation machines here or the first day of the stamp usage The stamps will go on sale here or. April 22 and throughout the re mainder of the country on the day following. Stamp collectors place value only on "first day” stamps. It is expected that thousands of self addressed envelopes will be re ceived from collectors, to be stamped and mailed from here on April 22. A special celebration will mark the observance of Arbor day at Ne braska City. Arbor Lodge, former residence of Morton and now a state park, probably will be one of the greatest attractions for visitors on that day. The state will observe the day as a legal holiday. i Arbor day was first observed in Nebraska in 1872, on the proposal of Morton to the state board of ag riculture that a day be set aside for tree planting. Morton later served as secretary of agriculture for the United States during the adminis tration of Grover Cleveland. The day was originally observed on April 10, but was later changed to April 22 to honor its founder’s birthday. Morton’s idea was popular. Other states set aside days for the plant ing of trees. In 1922, President Harding issued a proclamation urg ing all governors to designate the week of April 16 to 22 as forest pro tection week and to observe April 22 as the golden anniversary of Ar bor day. Morton is credited with once hav ing said of Arbor day that it is the only holiday that looks to the fu ture, adding that all others look In to the past. The truth of his words are evident in the large trees which now extend from end to end of Ne braska's once barren plains.
