SUCCESS.

SUCCESS.
IT'S the coward who quits to misfor-
tune,
IT'S the knave who changes each
day.
IT'S the fool who wins half the battle,
To throw all his chances away.
There is little in life but labor.
Tomorrow may prove but a dream;
Success is the bride of Endeavor,
And luck but meteor's CLEAN.
The time to succeed is when others,
Discouraged, show traces of tire
The battle is fought in the home
stretch,
And won twixt the flag and the wire.

j. S. PROBES PLAN
PREVENT COUNTERFE|TS

Washington, D. c., July 24.Treasury
Department officials are prepared to
investigate a plan to prevent counter
feiting, which Peter Feldkamp, a pris-
oner in the Wayne county, Mich, jail,
claims to have perfected. Feldkamp
is serving term for counterfeiting,
and he wrote letter to Secretary Of
the Treasurey McAdoo, saying that in
his work he had discovered this pro-
cess, which will make counterfeiting
impossible.
A secret service operative in Detroit
has been detailed to visit Feldkamp
to obtain details Feldkamp wants to
exchange the secret for his freedom
and job in the Treasury Department
at Washington.
1t was declared today, that under no
circumstances would be government
enter into such a bargain with the
man. If he wishes to give up the pro-
cess, government experts will take it
up for analysis as to its worth, but
there will be no conditions attached
to its submission, it is declared.
The letter from Feldkamp is but
one of scores that come to the Secre
tary from convicted counterfeiters,
many of whom claim to have such a
process which they would exchange
for freedom
Feldkamp is photographer and
chemist, and did some remarkable
counterfeiting work. He says that he
fell upon the process in this line of
endeavor. His process is a chemical
one, it is claimed, and so colors the
bill that it cannot be bleached, and
has a tint which cannot be duplicated.
