WATERMELON
Thieves Are Likely to Be Subjected to
Grand Jury Inquiry.

Some West Milford lads are prepar-
ing for an investigation of their act
ions, especially that of stealing farm
ers watermelons. The next grand jury
will doubtless be called on by the
prosecuting attorney to look into the
matter. The farmers say they would
not mind giving the boys ripe water
melons hut they do not like to see
green ones stolen from their patches
as green watermelons do no one any
good. Better cut that out and ask for
ripe ones.

opportunity Ever Present.

Opportunity. like air. surrounds US
with equal pressure on all sides. 1t Is
always present. 1t literally haunts US
with its insistant invitation to effort
and achievement. We complain that
we cannot win success because we
lack opportunity. Let us be frank
enough with ourselves to admit that
what we lack is not opportunity, but
the wit to recognize opportunity when
VIC see it, and the perseverance and
industry to follow its lead after we
have recognized 1t. We may lack
sufficient wisdom or strength to push
opportunity to success, but this is not
the fault of opportunity. We sue
ceed or fail as we make effective or
ineffective use Of opportunity. and the
cause of our failures can be located
in ourselves.-M. Franklin Ham
