He Should Know
The office boy says those people who break their necks to get away from the office promptly at five are those who come in ten or twelve minutes late in the morning. He keeps the time sheet.    He ought to know.

Gossip or Facts
Too many people are discussing the German atrocities from vague reports which change a little every time they are told. Write the Committee of Public Information at Washington and get the facts. The Government has pre¬ pared thirty-seven booklets covering every side of the war, and they are free to every American.
We must be fair even to our enemies, fair by being accurate in what we say. In the booklets prepared by the Committee on Public Informa¬ tion, the facts you want to know are told officially.    Use the coupon on another page.

Break the News to the Public
If the public knew how International Motor Trucks are made, the factory at Akron would have a harder time than it does to fill the orders. But the public does not know. That's what our salesmen and advertising are for — to tell them.
More than forty parts made from nickle and chrome nickle steel, scientific carbonizing and heat treating, scleroscope tests of every heat- treated part, most rigid inspection and tests of all parts and of the assembled motor truck —¦ these are some of the things about Interna¬ tionals that the public ought to know.
"I don't see how the Company can make any profit on the truck," said a man in the in¬ spection department the other day. " We scrap everything that is not exactly right."
"I was night superintendent for one of the highest priced truck builders in the world," said a man who now heads a department in the International factory, "and 1 can say that the IH C rejects material right along that the other company would use."
The public will find out in time. In the meanwhile it is up to I H C advertising and I H C salesmen to know the whole truth about Internationals — and to tell it.

The R. F. D. Comes in Handy
The rural mail carrier who has been delivering the farmer's daily paper and farm journal all these years is to serve another purpose useful to American life.
Under the Farm Labor Supplying Program of the U. S. Government, 55,000 small town post offices have become authorized farm labor employment offices, and the postmasters and their carriers covering all rural sections have been commissioned to bring every farm gate into direct touch with the offices of the U. S. Government employment service.
We want all our people to know about this employment plan of the Government and to spread the news of it far and wide. Tell the farmers they can get blanks from their post¬ master or rural carrier, fill them out, and leave them in their mail boxes. When the post¬ master gets a filled application, he will display a bulletin to attract any available local farm labor, and if help is not forthcoming, he will forward the application to the nearest Govern¬ ment employment branch office, which has a larger field from which to draw labor. New branch offices are being opened in all the states.
Be a Real Profit Sharer
Harvester Profit Sharing Plan is succeeding for all those who are using it. Is it succeeding for you.?
The way to make the Profit Sharing Plan succeed is to make it buy shares of stock for you. The Plan will never make you a stock¬ holder and a sharer in the Company's profits so long as you continually put your money in and then draw it out again. That provision is made for your convenience, and it puts the question of whether the Plan will succeed squarely up to you. You will never get any¬ where in anything by, like Andreyev's Sabines, taking two steps forward and one step back¬ ward.
Be a regular Profit Sharer. Put in as much as you can, put it in regularly, and leave it there. Consider your Profit Sharing savings as sacred and don't touch them unless it is abso¬ lutely necessary. Make them buy stock for you because then you become a part owner in the Company and because then you get the extra dividends.
Ask anyone who got extra Profit Sharing payments this year how it feels. They got it only on the stock they had the Profit Sharing Plan buy for them.
