BACK TO THE FARM
IS RALLyING CRY
Of OPPORTUNITY
IMAGINARY DISCOURSE OF THE
VISITOR WHO KNOCKS
ONCE

The statement that Opportunity
comes but once in life time is
foolish and without foundation in
fact Opportunity comes every day.
Opportunity knocks constantly for
admission on every door Opportun-
ity dogs the footsteps of man in all
climes, trying to attract attention,
trying to get men to hitch on that
she may carry them up above the
mire of encouragement and show
them the real beauties of life.
The majority OF men and women
are so hypnotized with the idea that
luck is against them, so blinded with
the idea that they are not getting a
square deal that they cannot see
Opportunity even though she stands
before them in shining raiment. Men
are so deadened to the possibilities
of life that though Opportunity were
to tango on their toes they would
