They see into the future They back up their faith by seizing the opportunities which the pessimists pass by and finally realize their ambitions If they stopped to listen to every knocker that came along, or if they were turned aside by the arguments" of every pessimist, they. too. when too late, would find that they had allowed golden opportunities to slip by.
 In every branch. in every calling and every business 1t is only men of un- swerving determination and faith who succeed. They refuse to be turned aside by trihcs. and are too busy to listen to the critics. They make the most of today so that tomorrow will bring its own reward They do not wait for everything to he put in their hand before making another forward step, the same as the pessimist. but are ur and doing and making the most of their opportunities.

Picnic Beer Subject to Tax.

Columbus.-State Food Commission
er Strobe wanted to know, IF club
sells picnic tickets for 81 each, good
for as much beer as the holder wants,
must the club pay the Akin tax fo'
one day?"
He asked Attorney General Hogan.
who answered.: 81 am unable to see
any material difference between per
son receiving payment in advance for
81 ticket, emitting the holder to as
much beer as he wants, and person
receiving on delivery from person
| drinking as much as his capacity and
pocketbook can stand. The person
furnishing the beer in either instance
is selling it."
Commissioner Strobe also asked III
a dozen or so persons put up 81 apiece
and buy beer by the keg, must they
pay the Akin tax?" The attorney
general said: "If they sell the beer
yes; if they drink it, no."

Game Plentiful, Says Speaks.

The hunting season this year will
afford abundant game throughout the
state, in the opinion of General j. G.

commission. The squirrel season,
which opened last Friday, finds the
woods and fields a bounteous place
for the man with the dog and the gun.
There are more squirrels this year
than for many years, General Speaks
AYERS.
The duck season, which has been on
since September 1, finds conditions
parallel as regards the amount OF
game. So also will the quail season

General Speaks gives various rea
sons for the propitiousness of the
game season. Among the most cogent
is the fact that the Matching an6
breeding season has been ideal for ex
tensive production of the young.
