desire only, rise above the masses to
an envled position, and leave unraen-
tened the thousands of soldiers who
have fought daily in h battle against
poverty OF adverse circumstances,
many Of whom have come out glor-
ieus4y victorious. There are many
times that such soldiers deserve the
lo,ldest praise and have dene far more
heroic and Drawer deeds than some
Of those pictured in laurel wreaths in
the hall of fame, for it is these Who
have raised the STANDARD of the ma
tiens, and their victories that count
IN making up a string Of generations.
These heroes can be found III every
walk of life; in the cities, the isolated
country districts, In the cotton mills
and other industries, among the rich
or among h pour, and in fact in
every place where civilized man is
found 1t is the hunger in mel and
| women to achieve something and to
| rise above the level where their pa
rents left off and help raise the world
to a more progressive standard. Ia
the cotton mills these soldiers can be
found in numbers, and the number
is still increasing, who have fought
and won and are still fighting. There
Is a certain idea loose in the world
that all the cotton mill people are a
ilst1ess sort, not caring fer anything.
IF this is true at all, l believe it is only
a small portion. There are thousands

want to win, but who perhaps fear to
attempt the battle for fear of fail
ing.
