Tho e who like to attribute
their fa'lnre to achieve success
to what they choose to term
lack of opportunity are offer
ing a futile excuse. Opportun
ity ever waits for those who
are w‘l !ng to work out their
destiny by accepting the sim
ple materials that Providence
places within the reach of al
most everyone. Lincoln’s edu
ratonal library was composed
of thj B'bte and the dictionary.
One of the most eloquent law
yers th's country ever producd
acknowledges that he owes
his eloquence to the sifhple
fact that years ago he was win
t r-hound in a cabin in the
mo mta'ns of Colorado with
r.oth'ng but Webster’s diction
ary for a companion. Thru the
long hours of weeks and
nu rrh-5 he studied the diction
ary to divert his mind from mo
notony. He learned its pages
by heart. And when Spring
cane he found himself such a
ms ?ter of words that he was
able to sway the multitude
v/t h his eloquence.
Too many men want to start
at the top. They want to build ;
the tower before they build!
the foundation. They are all;
front door and when you open
the door you find yourself in
th back yard.. They who seek '
success should make use of the ;
sample materials they have at ■
hand. By doing so they will
ultimately find a place in the!
sun.

It i3 generally accepted that
1925 w~ll be a year of reason
able prosperity. Such an ex
re 'tat'on, of course, assumes
that the general public-the
consuming public-will be in
' an opt'nrstic frame of mind
and .therefore, will not hold
back in its buying. This as
sumption is justified yet a
word of caution to the vendors
of ’inplies seems timely.
Past experience has shown
that hand in hand with pros
perous conditions comes a
change in business habits on
the part of many of those who
supply the needs of the con
sumers. The downward press
ure on the expense of doing
business on the part of many
producers and retailers eases
up. In may instances there is
also a tendency to advance
prices. In this we believe there
is an appreciable element of
danger that should not be over
looked by the wise merchant.
The buying public, although
in a favorable mood now, has
suffered much from the depre
dations of the speculator and
profiteer and would be in
clined to change to a less fav
orable buying attitude if it
; sensed a general movement in
| the direction of higher prices.
I To our view the proper play
! for the retailer is to make the
most of present opportunities
and at the same time carry on
his operations in a way to safe
gueard the continuaunce of the
feeling of optimism which pre
vails.
-o
• Should the calendar be
j changed so that we will have
a year composed of thirteen
months of twenty-eight days
each, with a “leap year” at
the end of each year?
Don’t throw up your hands
and say it’s, foolish, for some
pretty learned men have been
figuring it out-men who have
devoted far more study to the
proposition than anyone in this
locality-and they declare that
there is a great deal of merit
in such a proposal. In fact
there is an organization known
as the International Fixed Cal
endar League, with hundreds
of members scattered over the
world, and they are advocating
the change to a thirteen-month
year, with twenty-eight days
in each month.
! Being sensible takes a lot of
practise.

i When both sides wish to com
promise, it is no indication that
either one of them is reason
able. It merely means that both

To our way of thinking the
greatest mystery of the age is
how. women manage to retain
their good looks in spite of all
they do to disfigure them
selves.

According to Merl a banker’s

“A barber who hailed from

wide selection.”
“What could be more sad
;than a man without a coun
try?” said the sentimental
young thing.”
“Well,” replied her elderly
spinster friend, “It seems to
me that a country without a
man would be worse.”
There was a head-on collision

self-sacrifice, his mother re
Dlied: “Very well,.dear; if
you would like to go without
sugar for a week I’ll give you

them.”

| a few moments, then became
'suddenly thoughtful and said:
“ Must it be sugar, mama?”
“Why, no, darling,” was the
'reply, “not necessarily sugar,
j What would you like to do
| without more than sugar?”
“Soap.,” Johnny promptly re
plied.
