that are beyond them. Since I've been
in Atlanta this time I've had job that
would have taken any man about two
hours. / went to a paint store and put
in an order, a man doing nothing was
right there and promised to be out in
an hour I waited three hours and he
did not come. then another promised to
be there the next morning. and again 1
waited He failed to keep his word, and
I turned in and did the work myself.
1t was to scrape a mantle and revarnish
il, pretty strenuous work for one who
has been at a desk a year, but did it,
then took a mop and cleaned il with
potash, and today 1 put on the varnish
and saved exactly 50. 1 heard today
that both men are still hanging around
hunting jobs. I happen to know one
Of them. have heard him rail at rich
people for "splurging," and bewail the
fact that he sees many a chance to get
rich but hadn't the money to take up
such chances. Chances generally come
to the people ready for them, and it's
only by everlastingly keeping at work
one succeeds. There are two sets of
rich people. the idle rich whose money
Is fast slipping away, and the busy rich,
who work harder than the man at the
pillow. The farmer has his enemies,
bugs, insects and climatic disturbances.
The business man has plots and under
mining, unusual panics and the caprice
OF the people. He goes TO sleep prosper
Gus and wakes penniless. Care sits at
his elbow at all times Nine-tenths of
them are planning to go back to nature
some OF these days, and it's liberal es-
innate to say that four out of nine of
them get there.
Last year three boys agreed to enter
the corn contest, all Of them got the
land, one dropped out because thorough
preparation was too much trouble. The
second dropped out when the blowing
got pretty tedious. The third made a
crop. He did not get the prize, but he
knows where he. failed and has started
in to try ii all over. He sold his corn
for enough to buy good clothes and go
TO school last winter, so he is long
way ahead of either of the others. Num-
Der Two says he is going to stick it
out this year, but the other one is so
much absorbed in marbles and baseball
he has to have his father right behind
him to even make his board and clothes.
Can't you see the future Of all these?
The Indians think that when a man
kills foe the strength of the slain en-
tiers the victor. There is truth in the
fancy. The boy who last year failed to
win the prize and the one who dropped
out but is man enough to start again
have conquered foes that would have
Slapped their vitality, and in conquering
they have made stepping stones of what
might have been lost opportunities.
Take this for your encouragement:
at is almost always when things are
all blocked up and impossible that a
happening comes. II you are sure you
are looking and ready, that is all you
need. God is turning the world round
all the time"
Faithfully yours,
LIZZIE o. THOMAS.

"N0 TIP" SIGN CAUSE
STRIKE AMONG WATERS
(by Assooiated Press.


CHICAGO, April liberalization
against tipping had its first marked
effect here last night, when 40 walters
walked out of the dining room of the
Illinois Athletic club on strike at the
dinner hour.
Patrons will please refrain from
tipping the walters"
This request, printed on the menu
card, was the signal for an indigna-
tion meeting. The head waiter agreed
to walk out with the rest, but he was
dismissed by the management as soon
as it was learned that a strike was
about to be declared
A new force of walters was hurriedly
recruited, although dinner guests were
considerably chagrined at the long de-
lay.
The management said the rule
against tipping had always existed at
the club.

ONE FARMERS WIFE SAYS:
wish all the housekeepers could realize how
nice the homemade canned goods are and get
ready right now to put up enough to last them
all the winter. The home-raised are so much
nicer than we can buy.
And know you are doing a kindness to your
family to have plenty OF chickens and eggs.
Any one that takes care of them can sell eggs
enough to pay for the chicken feed and for
their own clothes. Put the responsibility Of
some OF the work on the children and let them
buy something they need with their share Of
the money made. Don't keep them out Of
school to do the work, however, for there are
many things they can do before or after school,
and let the other period be for study. Give
your children an education. Remember that il
you have made some sort OF a success with
none you could have done much better with one.
I heard a farmer say that he isn't going to
raise anyahogs this year; that many OF his
neighbors are raising hogs that he Is not going
to bother with them, for meat will be too

Mr.. Farmer, don't plant more cotton than
you can hustle and pick; plant the things you
need for the table. Think how much better
to lay up your years provisions and be be-
holden 10 nobody for credit next year. Hustle
and pick your cotton when 1t opens-it's so
much-better TO pick Il then; the heat is better
to pick In than the cold.
This year change your program; plant corn,
syrup. peanuts, potatoes and have hogs. Then
put your surplus in cotton and see how much
easier you will live next year.
