THE BANKERS DID IT.

The Texas bankers are deliberate
ly forcing the supply-merchan's to
force the farmers into diversified
farming in order to hold down in
Texas the 155 million dollars that
has been going out of the state year
by year to pay for Western corn and
corn products, hay and forage, salt
pork sides, ham and bacon.
The bankers in any cotton or TO-
bacco county in North Carolina can
do more in single year to promote
diversified farming than our So farm
demonstrators can do in a whole
life time.
1t is a good sense and good bust
ness policy on part of the bankers.

THE ORDER OF ELKS.

The Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks spent 625 thousand
dollars last year i'll practical charity.
What a big-hearted record that is!
There are 1918 lodges and 442

Two states have over 80 thousand
members each-New York and
Pennsylvania. Three have over 20

TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

The successful worker today is the
man who singles out from a vast
number of possible employments
some speciality and devotes himself
to that thoroughly.
1t is not the diffused electricity
but the concentrated thunderbolt
that is terrible in it's power.
To succeed you must be unanim-
Gus with yourself.
A man with special ability does
not have to look for a job, the job is
looking for him.
The most successful gunner any
navy possesses is the man who con-
tiauaiy fires at one point.
And it is well TO remember it is
not the most brilliant men, but the
stickers like the post age stamp, that
gets there, and that persistency is
more effective than brilliancy, for
the men at the summit were not
pulled to their positions, they push
ed their way there!
So many people are looking for
good time when in reality the only
good time coming they are justified
in hoping for is that which they
make for themselves. Do not put
your hand to anything on which you
cannot throw your whole self-be a
whole man at everything.
Be sure you have a plan then
work for ito aim high is good,
but to aim at what you would hit, is
better.
The difference between the man
: who fails and the man who succeeds
lies in the will power, tenacity
and perseverance. coupled with good
judgment and honest dealings, as
