SOUND BUSINESS MAxIMs.


Use Your Ability and Take No Stock
In the Law Of Chance.
Most men who have amounted to
anything started with nothing but
ability and determination. combina-
tion which recognizes no man made
limitations.
Any kind of work is better than idle
ness, which is directly responsible for
most Of the unhappiness in this world.
Idleness is dangerous thing. 1t
may grow into habit that might stick
to you after you get back In harness,
and the man who loafs on his Job Is
only fooling himself.
Eternal. intelligent effort is the price
of commercial g.rowth, and where there
is no progression there is bound to be
retrogresslon. Business is something
like aeroplaning-to stop is to drop.
and to drop Is generally to bust
II had an enemy and wanted to get
even with him could wish him moth
ing worse than to land in soft job
and get the loaiing habit. 1t would
only be question of time before he or
the Job petered out, and the longer he
held on the worst off he'd be in the
end, for there is law of compensa-
tion which somehow or other makes us
work in old age for the time we waste
In youth or suffer If we can't make
good.
Pin your faith To this law of COM
pensation, but don't take any stock in
the law sof chance; there's no such
thing. Waiting for something to turn
up in the belief that things are bound
to come your way eventually is throw
ing dice with fate. Many good dog
never got decent bone until bis teeth
were gone.-Maurice Switzer in Les
lie's.

Decision of Judges
In recent letter from the State
Superintendent's office the school au-
thorities are informed that 1.-The
Canton High School has been placed
on the accredited list of high schools
by the North Central Association of
Colleges and Universities. In the
time our high school has been and is
on the accredited list by the South
Dakota University and other Colleges
of the state where our graduates can
and have taken up studies or regui-
ar college course without taking the
entrance examinations. This inform
alton is given in reply to several in
quiries by school patrons and citizens
as to the accreditment o< the Canton
high school.
The last basket bail game Of the
season was played some two weeks
since when the regular team defeated
the alumni group and the attention
of the boys Is now turned toward base
ball. While the Canton teams were
not as successful as we might have
"iStlcu yc' CIS outu Ioldl VI SCoicS loi
the winter shows that they played
better than the average high school
group. While it was not self support
| ing, but small deficit has been left it
cannot be counted as a total loss be-
cause of the wholesome exercise and
friendly rivalry incident to the winter
sport. The deficit can be attributed
to the fact that we were compelled to
use small hall which was neither
large enough for good practice nor for
the accom- NJ odation of a paying crowd
at contests, some OF which were rather
expensive. The boys are now at work
on the "tryout" practice games for
places on the regular base ball team.
