Milaca, Mimi, April cit is
said that opportunity knocks once, at
every mans door, and the statement
however, who fail to open the door and
give opportunity the "glad hand.' OPP
portunity knocks not once but many
times at some men IS doors and still re-
mains an unwelcome guest.
There is class of men whom oppor
tunity is calling to loudly today, and
these men are the farm renters who are
allowing the sand Of the hour-glass; to
run out without permanently improving
their time. They are worse off than the
man who works for stated wage. The
wage-earne is sure Of the price of his
labor, while the farm renter has no alb
solute assurance of bountiful crop
from which he gets but a percentage
of the yield, for whether he pays a
stated price per acre or pays IN a por-
ton of the crop he is only a partial par
ticipator in the results OF his toll. Ih e
farm renter is simply living from hand
to mouth. AS a rule he is poorly paid
for his toll and is throwing away the
best years Of his life. ) .
