Our Friend The Young Man

There are today millions of
chances for the young man. but
they may not all be on Easy street
never were. The middle
man groans and sweats because the
trust has knocked him higher than
Haman-but that's the new condi.
ton. He lived in luxury because
he made his money by buying from
the producer and selling at an enor-
nous profit to the manufacturer.
The trust has played havoc with
him-and he means in his anguish
that the young man stands no
show. No show for what? No
show 10 place the price on the
farmers product, and then demand
his own terms from the manufac-
turer.
The young man stands chow
and good one today-if he mas
tiers his profession or his trade and
goes In to win. He must cut out
rum and other kindred folly
and get his nose to the grind stone
and work as his father worked and
not half as bard as his grandfather
worked to make a bare existence.
Competency is always in demand
and always will be. Drones and
counterfeits and pretenders stand
no show. In this day of big for
tunes and prosperity the people de-
mand the best, they have money to
pay for it and it must come. Yet,
Notwithstanding, the young man
who will find his place stands all
the show he needs-and as good a
chance to succeed as ever in the
worlds history.
