Pluck goes out and gets Il grip on
things and gets them TO coming his
way. Luck lies in the shade hoping
for something easy TO come sauntering
down the road in search of him. Pluck
is not afraid of effort with life force in
it. Luck is always waiting for soft
snaps. Pluck forges ahead. Luck
drifts backward. Pluck has his eyes
turned toward the morning. Luck
avoids the glare of sunlight Pluck
rejoices in wisely directed energy
which produces results. Luck list
lessly waits for something TO drop into
his hand, which he is too indolent
even to invitingly extend. Pluck ad-
vertises for business, telling his story
so convincingly that business seeks
him in brisk seasons and dull. Luck
thinks business will seek him without
the trouble of inviting IL, and waits
while the dust gathers on his shelves
and the cobwebs are woven across his
doorway. The man who trusts to luck
In business is a near relation TO the
man who went out into the pasture and
sat down on a hummOcb to wait for
old brindle TO back up to be milked,
and he is full brother TO the man
who kept a store and wouldn't adver-
tise because he thought the public
would back up to his store when it
wanted something-and the public
will happen TO do that occasionally,
but it will hunt up the man who has
wha, it really wants at right prices
and takes the trouble to let it be known
that he has it. Too many Forsyth
business men appear TO put their trust
in luck.

The state railroad and warehouse
commissioners have ordered II hearing
in reference to oil rates in Missouri to
be held in Kansas City, Missouri, be-
ginning June Is, to which all railroad
companies doing business in the state
are cited to appear and show cause, if
cause there be, why the freight rate on
oil should not be materially reduced
The order is based on complaints filed
with the board alleging that the Mis-.
souri, rate on oil is cXorb;tant, that
it is in excess of rates for like distances
in other states, and between points in
this state and other states. All inter.
ested persons are invited TO attend.
The probability is that it will be made
interesting to the roads that have been
making excessive charges.
