United States Senator John Shafroth
of Colorado who was news editor of
the Advertiser for several years and
who did good work in that capacity.
and of Joseph Hendrix. brother of

STICK TO YOUR DREAMS, BOY

Punsters and cartOOnistS are pOkin:
fun at you, boy, right now because o
your ambitions and your dreams. i
you have a dream stick to ii. IL:
yours. You have right to dream o1
great things.
Every great man that the world
can point to today was a dreamer. He
had ideals. He was scoifed at. Peo-
pie said that he was crazy but he
stuck to his dream and then when
the day of realization came how the
crowd wore a path through the wood
to his door.
Life does not always yield its boon
in exact terms Of desire, because men
often fail at cross-purp0ses with en-
dowment; but life never fails to grant
all the equities in any given case.
Don't fail at cross-purposes. Don't
swerve from that dream. Keep it al
ways fresh. Train every effort to-
ward that ultimate goal and get the
laugh on the world. Above all things
do not fail absolutely. The worlds
great men did not.
