WHAT IS SUCCESS

'Doing Something to the Utmost of Ones Ability;
Making as Much of Ones Position as it is Possible
to Make"
Let a young man be thoroughly fitted for the
business position he occpies, alert to every oppor-
tunity, and embracing it to it's fullest possibility,
with his methods fixed on honorable principles,
and he is a successful man. 1t does not matter
whether he makes a thousand dollars or a hundred
thousand dollars. He makes a success of his par
ticular position. He carries to a successful term.
inati0n that which it has been given him to do,
be that great or small. If the work he does, and
does we'll, is up to his limitations he is a success.
If he does not work up to his capacity, then he
fails, just as he fails, too, if he attempts to go
beyond his mental or physical limit. There is
just as much danger on one side of mans limit
line as there is on the other. The very realization
of ones capcity is a sign of success. It is an old
saying that it is a wise man who knows when he
has enough, and it is "a successful man who never
goes beyond his depth in business. This is a
truth which requires experience to see, perhaps,
but it is a lesson which Success demands that her
~votaries shall learn, and learn WE'LL Success is
simply doing anything to the utmost of ones
ability-making as much of ones position as it is
possible to make.-From Edward Bok's book,
"Successward."

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

It may not be the province of history to NEEDLE
with political theories, but the world might derive
a greater benefit from it's pages if it said less
about battles and sieges and more about creeds
and policies. Is it not the legitimate right of
the historian to deal with laws as we'll as with
battles with robberies by statute as well as rob-
berries by riot? Olden times saw the work of the
marauder who welded the sword, and the books
are full of his doings: later generations see wealth
and prosperity transferred from one class to an
other by the knave who Yields the legislative pen,
and the story of the nations will never be complete
until one form of robbery is as fully understood
as the other.-From Thomas E. Watson's "Story
of France"

THIS WEEKS PAPER-sOME RANDOM COM
MFNT-
MENT.

It is somewhat singular that we received the
same day last week two letters strongly urging,
in the interest of the farmers, the repeal of the
law now in force prohibiting the lending of money
at a higher rate than six per cent. The point
made is that it is much cheaper for farmers to
borrow money at 8 or 10 per cent than pay time
prices for merchandise This is undoubtedly
true. But is it true that money cannot be had
at six per cent and that farmers are forced to pay
the % per cent or more on time prices because of
inability to borrow at six per cent? Let us have
more evidence as to this feature of the matter.
One of the letters referred to-Harry Farmers
is printed this week; the other, written by Mr..
D. L. Gore, of Wilmington, will appear in our
next number.
If your section has advantages that ought to
be more widely known, if there are opportunities
that ought to attract settlers, write the matter
up for The Progressive Farmer. See what a ser
vice IN. B. c." rendered his community by an act
of this kind.
This issue of The Progressive Farmer looks
somewhat like a tobacco special" There are
Mr.. Moye's letter on the best varieties of the
weed, our Philadelphia contemporary comment
on the prospects of the tobacco farmer, and Capt.
Hutchings's interesting paper on the proper sphere
of a tobacco growers combination. We shall be
glad to have these subjects more thoroughly dis
cussed by persons interested We notice, by the
way, that an Interstate meeting of tobacco farm
ers is planned to meet in Danville sometime in
the near future.
We are glad that Rev. N. B. Cobb has sent us
some wartime "reminiscences, and we hope that
others will follow his example. Mr.. CObb's article
will be considered in awarding the prize book for
the best letter by a man on cold Times in the
South" The matter has already been delayed too
long because of the small number of responses,
but the prize will certainly be sent out by the end
of March. The book, as will be remembered, is
Bradley's "Sketches from Old Virginia" and it is
to be given to the man writing the best article on
slavery, wartime or Reconstruction days. The
woman's prize was awarded last year.
1t is always a pleasure to publish notices of
farmers meetings, and we regret that a larger
number of January County Alliance meetings
have not been reported for us. Bro. II M. Gates
is now re-organizing the Order in Vance County,
and State Lecturer Balm is at work in Columbus
We expect reports from both of them within the
next two weeks.

One valuable way of practicing self-control is
in checking grumbling, and an unnecessary dis
play Of vexation at petty inconvenience A
workman has fulfilled his task imperfectly, some
order is wrongly executed, some one keeps you
waiting unreasonably; people are careless or for
getful, or do what they have in hand badly. Try
not to be disturbed; be just, and show the persons
to blame where they are wrong, even Gf it be
needfuD make them do the thing over again
properly; but refrain from difuse or vehement
expressions of displeasure. A naturally quick,
impetuous person will find that to cultivate a
calm external habit is a great help towards gain
ing the inward even spirit he needs.-H. L. Sid
ney Lear.

Very effective work toward saving the cattle in
dustry of the State from the blight of the Federal
quarantine is being done by State Veterinarian
Butler and the Department of Agriculture. Every
year a little more territory is added to the eX-
empted mountain region. This year, as will be
seen from DIR. Buffers card on page 3, call of
Caldwell County and that part of Burke County
north of the Catawba River" is the gain made.
1t is expected that two or three more counties
will be added next year.

A sound nation is a nation that is composed of
sound human beings, healthy in body, strong of
limb, true in words and deeds-brave, sober, tenn
perate, chaste, to whom morals are of more i'm
p~ortance than wealth or knowledge-where duty
is first and the rights of man are s~econd-where,
in short, men grow up and live and work, having
in them what our ancestors called "the fear OF
God."-James Anthony Froude.

No successful business man would think of
beginning a years work without a carefully
planned system of accounts, and no farmer is
businesslike who fails to keep a record of his in
come and his expenses. There is no surer safe
guard against extravaganza; no surer way of de-
tecting the little leaks that so often lead to ruin.
1t is not yet too late to open up the 1908 books.

A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

It is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and deblll-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
Respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
searth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:-
81 had a bad attack of la grippe this spring
and was at deaths door, and no one ever
expected me to recover. I was so weak that
as soon as they brought me out of one faint
l was in another. | could not take any
nourishment, and doctors medicines did me
no good. A friend advised my husband to
get me a bottle of Paine's Celery Compound,
which he did, but had no faith in it. The
second day after taking the Compound, l
began to get real hungry and took an interest
in things. had everything that money and
loving care could supply, and with hat and
Paine's Celery Compound, / am now doing
my own work, while three months ago l was
almost in the grave. l know that l owe my
health and strength to Paine's Celery Cons
pound, and shall always recommend it."

MANKATO WINS AGAIN.
Defeated the Lake Crystal Boys Good
and Hard.
From SATURDAYS Dai1v-

Fifteen hundred people attended the
county fair at Garden City yesterday.
The weather was ideal and the program
carried out at the grounds enjoyed great
iy by the crowd. Attorney A. e. Clark
delivered an address which was well re-
ceived, and the ball game, contested by
Mankato and Lake Crystal was an ex-
citing one, but the Lake Crystal boys
were not in it with the team from this
city. The score was ii to 5. The Lake
Crystal team is fast going down the
~toboggan. The Mankato nine is doing
good work on the diamond.
The horse racing was a good feature
and the crowd enjoyed the sport very
much.
Finnigan of Mankato pitched the first
five innings for Lake Crystal and the
score was then tied at four and four.
Osgood of Lake Crystal then took the
box and the Mankato batters found him
readily. Al Krost of Mankato was be-
hind the bat for Lake Crystal. McCol-
lum pitched both days for Mankato.
This was the third %drubbing that the
Mankato team has given the Lake Crys-
tai team, and Col. Neff will probably pull
in his $1,000 wager on his boys.

FOSTERS PREDICTIONS.
What the Weather Will Be Until End
of the Month.

Odtuiudy bdLy.
Washington, ID. c., Sept. l9.-The last
bulletin gave a forecast of disturbance
to cross the continent Sept. 10 to %,
warm wave Sept. Is to 20, cool wave
Sept. 81 to 25. Next disturbance will
reach Pacific coast about Sept %, cross
west of Rockies by close of Sept. "a,
great central valleys Sept. 25 to 81,
northeastern states Sept. 2S. Warm
wave will cross west of Rockies about
Sept. 90, great central valleys Sept. 25,
eastern states Sept. 81. Cool wave will
cross west of Rockies about Sept. 26,
great central valleys Sept. 2S, eastern
states, Sept. 80.
This disturbance will belong to a per-
iod of great extremes of temperature
and first part of it will contain severe
storms. 1t will close with frosts in the
northern corn belt and light frosts may
reach the northern borders of the cotton
belt. The last ten days of September
will bring very cool weather both north
and south.
About an Immediately following date
of this bulletin great storms are expected
on various parts of the earth. These
storm energies have appeared, in the cal
culations, to be so great that l have
not tried to definitely locate them deem
ing it better to be ON the alert and take
no unnecessary risks. Conditions are
very favorable for all weather extremes
that may occur at this season including
activities IN earthquakes and volcanoes
where these are common.
l will ask my readers to particularly
note the force of the storms and of cleo
trical disturbances on Sept. 20 and 81,
not particularly in your locality but at
the places where the storm centers are on
those dates. l will be very much mis-
taken if unusually severe storms do not
occur not far from those dates and this
is written August 20.

LAST GOOD LAND.
Part of Leech Lake Reservation to Be
Opened for Settlement.
From Saturdays Daily.

S. d. Works has been over the north
and east parts of the portion of the
Leech lake reservation which is soon to
be thrown open for settlement. Nearly
100000 acres of this reservation are
TO be opened up, and most of the land
is very good, with heavy hard wood
timber on some parts of it. There are
some quarter sections that Mr.. Works
states are worth $1,000 for the timber
alone.
The land has a level surface and the
soil is valuable. The land is all agricul-
tural land, and this will probably be the
last opportunity to acquire good gov
eminent land in this state. The time
when the land will be thrown open was
expected to be announced today. The
filings will be made at Cass Lake.

Officer Daniels has rendered his resig-
nation from the police force, to take eff
feet Nov. LIST. The resignation is now
