Real Greatness Is In The

The heights by great men reached and KEPT" calls attention to the
fact that real greatness never permits BACKSLlOlNG.
There are not many instances in history of men prominent in youth OF

not really great.
Greatness is a SOUL QUALITY closely allied to hard work. The ma
whose soul has been fired with zeal for a wonderful cause cannot lay down
his weapons
Successful lei seldom retire

AN EPOCH MARKER

What Christmas is to the Christian
movement, the convention Of the
State Builders is to the booster spirit
so prevalent in South Dakota and the
entire northwest.
Christmas Is an anniversary OF
C~hristendom, an epoch marker. The
State Builders convention is an IN
niversary-the first-of the boosters,
the marker of an epoch in the growth
of the state.
Composed almost entirely of the
young blood Of the commonwealth,

these delegates returning to their
various homes, will spread the good
gospel OF boost" of better farming,
OF better husbandry and conservation
OF resources-in short, OF the best
way to build up a state.
Probably never before has there
been held in the northwest a con
v~ention OF the magnitude and i'm

that will accrue from this convention
