Men are more and more studying the valuca 4n order to know the whyo and wherefores concerning them. The value of anything IB determined by the standard and the closer the thins valued raenaureo up to that standard.

Every man has a standard i i himself which la the Ideal of what ho cnn and will bo. Bo the worth of a man Is determined by tho way ho measures up to tho consciousness within him of that Ideal. Values In tr.eri ore determined by comparison. We are always comparing 1 one thing with another and men are compared In the same way. Men are valued hy what they arc and by what they can do, Tho vnluo lino In rnan, said the epcaker lies In his Inherent forces.

"Worth, to be true worth, must bo aeen In varied circumstances and In varied conditions. In cloudy weather as well as In sunshine. True worth lies In the soul of honor, In tho power to create. In grit and In human efficiency. The man who proves his worth does four tlilnRB.

Ho decides things, ho starts things, ho Ptlcks to them and he finishes them. Tho fact Is men are valued for their thoroughness nnd com- ploteneBB. Worth Is determined by tho man quality. Tho quality of work a man does as well as the quantity Is very essential--both are required. It Is the force of reason with motive nnd purpose which Induces action.

All natural ability as well as natural activity HOB In a man's power of perspective, MR ability to get at a It lies also In knowing men and know- Ing how to get at them, so that they will catch your Idea nnd concentrate upon It. The speaker used a number of etereoptlcon views to Illustrate tho worth of man, picturing his worth In public life nnd also the worth of tho young man. He cited Hie worth of man In business advertising, thu muscular of man and told their places In tho manual labors of life, emphasizing that backbone Is necessary. Ho nketched tho men who work with tho pick and shovel va well an tho men who rlae above thcso as skilled mechanics. The organic life as well ao the nervous system he also showed to Illustrate the worth of man.

Mr. Sloan placed emphasis upon the two tho conscious nnd the sub- conscloim mind. He told a lod of begins In youMi and contrasted the worth of man In both social nnd commercial pursuits. He took tho worth of man as a- manager of business as well as In tho Helling field. lav- Ing emphasis upon the fact that worth IH centered his creative powers and I In hlu power of.

He Bald that men" are apt to undervalue themselves and graphically told the story of the crooked stream. A man following his natural ability Is apt to wander like the croolccd stream, traveling three times I as fur as IB necessary In order to I reach a desired cited. He eald that 'every-man possesses an almighty power and-an almighty Tightness and that It Is the best that every man and tho greatest thing In life Is to bring out this almighty power and Tightness In actlvo pursuits of business.

Mr. Sloan closed with tho statement that for a man to bo of worth ho must do something worth whlro and here reference was made to tho purpose of the Ad club, a bunch of fellows getting together for the next alx months to study tho Ins and outs of tho selling Bldo of business, especially from the ad view point.

PHELPS FURNITURE COMPANY Special to The Gazette, DCS Molnes, Sept. 26--The twon- ty-flvo or i "candldatoB" for membership on the board of control need not bo surprised If not one of their naiiu-B Is favored wlicn the appointment Is announced. Tin- whole theory of the board of control law Is a men nlmll bo sc- lociod for the positions ho are not In any (rnsa candidates. should be a case of the flee pcelilng man. And In tho past that has been tho case.

It is recalled that whon tlic first board was named there was trouble because one ofi'lco seeker was named. But the llrat board was composed of men not one of whom sought tho office. The democratic lino comes through Judge Klnnc. His successor, John T. Hamilton, was called from private llfo by Cummins much against his Then Senator Wudo was named In much the mime way.

Xclth- er of tho pronent members of tho board was in any sonae a candidate for tho plrtce. One thing la cerUiln, that no amount of "plugging" for this or that candidate will havo tho Influence on the present governor. Salary Too Small. "The trouble witli tho tvholo business." said ox-Senator Maytag, who was in the city the other clay, "Is a tho salary for the poiitlon Is not good enough, and 1 fear the governor will not bo allo to find tho man who ought to be colectcd who will accept If I was hiring men to hundlo as much money as thenc men on tlic board do, I wouldn't think of paying less than $6,000 a year." "What we ought now to havo on the board," said ex-Senator Newberry, "la a man filled Interest and enthusiasm In regard to the whole subject of betterment of our Institutions, ono who will bccocio a recognized leader In all tnattern relating to the social problems, of the day." Tho business end of tie board Is sufficiently well cared for at present, with two of the bust possible bust- ness men. It was Judgo Klnne who first made a deep study of the whole problem of Institutional life and atirtcd out to develop In Iowa a system that would be the best In the world.

He was ably bucked by Judge Robinson nnd others on tho board. More than one member has gone upon tlic board to find that his ideas TB to what there Is to do wan wrong and that tho pcb Is a great deal more than a big business tank, for it Involve! all the relations between society as a wholo nnd the small auny of defectives, delinquents and tunates. Tho governor has come Into such contact with tho bDard In his dozen years of public llfo that he has a pretty clear Idea of what Is wanted on tho board to supplement the abilities of, tho two present members and to give tho state tho very best institution management in world. It IH because of this that some persons are predicting that tho govsrnor will not depart from the custom tho past In permitting' ths office to seek tho man. Tho ideal man for tho place would be well educated moji In middle life, possibly a professional mm, ono who la a reader nnd student a man of recognlzdd deep sympathy for humanity, one of decided progressive tendencies, who is able to lay aside miolneis or professional caros and make tho sorlflco which the state demands for this piece.

If bo Is found he will bo appointed. Another featuro about the pooltlon la that, flomowhat contrary to that which somo persona havo sought to make appear, the position of the member of the board of control involves a vast amount of hard labor. There are no publlo sefvanto In Iowa today moro over-burdened with work than the members of. this board. No ono unfamiliar with their work can haro any Idop.

of fh amount of business which comes to their doaks and which must receive persdnal attention. Thero Is very little delegation of work or responsibility to others. Somo of the work of arranging bids nnd working out tho purchase problem now goes to assistants, but not noarly as much an mtght profitably bo The members are required to personalty visit each and ovary one cf tho fifteen state Institutions tvrlco each year.
