SAYS UNCLE CAV

Human experience is still making
plain this parodx: he who is satisfied
with his success isn't successful. The
principle defies analysis. but it is as
true as sunrise, as obvious as dawn.
The object of all existence seems to be
growth, not the attainment of moral
and mental milestones. There is no
fixed ideal which men or angels can
set up and say, This is perfection"
For one shall be near perfection when
he has not yet approached the fixed
ideal, and another shall be imperfect
when he has passed the ideal and
ceased to grow Only state of
growth can approximate perfection,
for that " lhich aFeases I'd grow in that
moment begins to decay and in the
alchemy of nature to provide for that
which has the possibilities of new
growth SO, the grain decays in the
ground to bring forth after its kind;
so one generation by not dissimilar
process produces another.
Thus, we must grow or die, and ma
ture works in one hour with her all
seeing eye upon the next. IT'S a dry
philosophy in the abstract but it has
a most emphatic way of impressing its
truth upon its victims in everyday
matters.
1t made a wailing infant of A1exan-
der when his achievements on the
battlefield had made his master of the
known world and left him signing for
other lands to conquer. He had not
the vision to find food for his ambi-
tions and fell an easy prey to fever.
He had nothing more to live for. The
same eternal principle makes retro
erosion inevitable for the captain of
industry the inventor, or the mere
clerk. who sees no further possibilities
in his field of labor. They cease to
grow, and die of dry rot if not of
fever.
Your destiny is TO grow When you
have exhausted the possibilities of
your present task. see to it that you
find other food for your activities It
matters little what you do-tae i'm
portant thing is that you do more and
better work tomorrow than today.
The vital thing is that you find some
thing new and larger on which to ex-
ercise your hand and brain on each
succeeding hour.
The business world thinks little on
this principle but it insists upon it,
just the same. The employee who
does not increase in breadth and grasp
and general efficiency either finds him
self without a pay check or upon the
pension list. The firm that is content
to let we'll enough alone soon finds
that competitor is taking care of it's
business.
He who believes himself to have ac-
complished all that is necessary to sue
cess is a failure. He no longer grows

In the garden-next door,
Violet looked into DR.. Emery's eyes
and seemed fascinated by the multi
tude of questions she saw there. She
laughed and tried to keep the color
from her cheeks.
But why Gid you wiggle your toes
about in the oozy midland why did
you lie down in soaking grass that
might have had copperheads and
black beetles in it-and why did you
come out at dawn and bob into the
hydrangeas
Tho doctors look was so serious
with it's mixture of alteration that
Violet laughed aloud
You are forgetting the corn and
carrots and peas2" she smiled and
tried to recall just how far her ex-
pertinent had taken her. you see,
DR.. Emery-you are not a beauty
specialist. or you would know there
is nothing like early morning dew for
the complexion. The hydrangeas gave
me that. From the oozy mud, as you
call it, and the grass, 1 was absorb

The doctor was beginning to under
stand. But the book on your head
and the green vegetables that no
doubt had lots of little green
Violet stopped both ears and turned
slightly away Il refuse to listen.
You are trying to disparage my quest
for beauty, and 1 think it very com

straight into her eyes Violet had the

There is no reason why merchants con-

1t is said that competition is the life Of
