little doubt that the great majority

The inncrmoSt history of this break

TO a belief on the part of the Nebraska

no very startling results, but a few
years ago the hustlers got hold OF the
job. Pretty soon the steam shovel
crews were fighting over the question
Of which one could get out the most
rock in a day. When this occurred 1t
was felt on all sides that the canal
job was licked and might as well give
in gracefully.
The hustler likes a big job OF work
because he can dive into it and stay
several days without taking breath.
The larger the job the more fiercely he
tackles it The reason why some farm
ers gradually accumulate land until
they die, mourned by an entire town
ship, is because they go out to pillow
a half section Of land as cheerfully and
eagerly as some other farmers come in
TO dinner.
It is very hard 10 work for a hustler
because he is always fixing up some

ii is preferable TO be a hustler and
