HOW TO WIN SUCCESS.
Governor Douglas of Massachusc IT'S
Gives Advice to BOYS.

Governor Douglas of Massachusc It's
Gives Advice to Boys.
From place at the cobbler's bench
at mere pittance, William L. Douglas
has risen to the highest executive po-
sition in the State of Massachusetts,.
that OF Governor, and has made him
SELF millionaire. His rules and pre-
cepts OF success are given by him
through the Boston Sunday American.
The Governor is interested in boys
and declares that these rules are given
for the benefit of boys. The Governor
says;
Recently. in talking to delegation of
oright-faeed boys. told them that they
should. IN order TO make the most Of life,
obey the old maxim, Stick to your last"
II you don't you'll find that old ogre,
caiieu trouble, bobbing up in your path
way every now and then, and you'll
never get to be on speaking terms with
success. Fortune, you know, favors the
brave. In the battle of life the really
brave man is the one with courage
enough TO stick to his last in the face
OF early rebuds and temporary reverses.
He's the fellow who will eventually be
able to laugh at trouble and TO get chum-
my with success. What would you think
OF shoemaker who, after making part
OF shoe on one last. became dissatis-
ned and started another shoe on a diff
fefent last, keeping up this method until
ne had finally spent all his money for
stock and had nothing but lot of half
finished shoes TO show for 1t. Foolish
way to do, isn't it? But it's no more
foolish than for young man to tackle
a new line of business every little while
until he groTs too old to learn any bust
ness thoroughly. '~- 90, 49,
Everything in nature is fitted to do one
thing well and spends its whole life do
ing IT. You never hear of the ant going
into the honey-making business; nor of
the bee building ant hills for a change.
Each one knows its place in the world
and sticks TO it, and that is what boys
must do If they would accomplish great
things Nearly every boy at an early
age displays an aptitude for something,
and II that aptitude is properly devel-
0ped the process of selecting a last is
simplihed. And remember always to
keep your ambition up to the top notch.
Whatever you do try to do it better
than the other fellow. At school make
it point to stand at the head of your
class; and at play don't be satisfied until
you can jump the farthest or throw the
straightest. Then when you enter bust
ness life this matter of getting ahead
will become a habit.
Now another thing to think about is
this: Don't try to do what you like--do
what You can. That's good compan-
ion piece for stick to your last" Don't
let the attraction of something you don't
know lure you away from the thing you
do. Do what you can and stick to it.
That's wisdom.

Marketing Potato Crops.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers, cited by President
hadley OF Yale University in his book
on hailroad Transportation, is the case
OF the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile OF the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show how
railroad works for the interest of the
localities which it serves.
A main dependence OF the farmers of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to ten
million bushels. which find market
largely In Boston and the adjacent
thlckly settled regions Of New England.
Ihe competition of cheap water trans
portation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
nut of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
ana rains brought tremendous yieiu
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rotted
on the farms. To help the potato grow
ers the railroads from Michigan made
unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes
to every readable market, even carry
ing them in large quantities to place
so remote as Boston. The Aroostook
growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose of them unless the Boston and
Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate. which 1t did. by means of these
low rates, making possible low prices,
the potato crops Of both Michigan ana
| Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potatoes, and that year eV-
erybody had all the potatoes he
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous TO
the railroads. had they been applied
| to the movement Of all potatoes at all
| times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
| Boston and Maine railroad suffered .
decrease I'm its revenue from potatoes
but ii enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby 10
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making pf
rates were subject to governmental ad-
iustment such radical and prompt ac-
ton could never have been taken, he
cause it is well established that II a
rate he once reduced by railroad
company il cannot be restored through
the red tape Of governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads ana
the Boston and Maine railroad hah
been subjected to governmental INN
ration they would have felt obliged 10
keep up their rates as do the railroads
Of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation ana lei
the potatoes rot.--Exchange.

in front of the burning building and the

Grated by the fremen, the general plan
of arrangement being apparent from an

Such a portable shield would prevent
the spread of the flames TO adjacent prop

firemen TO approach near enough to a
building which was burning briskly to
effect a rescue of a life or property
which ordinarily would not be attempted
because of the danger involved from in
tense heat. but from which the shield
would screen the rescuing firemen.

Over one hundred thousand cases OF
