OR YOU.

Some people are always waiting for
opportunity to take them by the hand.
1t never does, and it never will.
Opportunity is eve present with us,
it is by our side, it dogs u steps, it
never leaves US. But it never reaches
out it's hand. We must do the reach
ing, the grasping, the improving.
Don't sit still and wait for opportu-
nifty to come to you. Go out and hunt
it, and hunt till you find it. 1t is
flirting with you every day in the
year, every hour of the day.
One of your greatest opportunities
lies in what you may accomplish in aid
of your home town, for what is good
for the town is ever better for you.
If you want your town to do some
ching for you you should first do
something for the town. Opportunity
believes in that, and greets the one
who does it.
Don't expect to receive everything
and give nothing. Opportunity does
not approve of that, will not sanction
it, will not lend its aid and encourage
ment. Only fools expect that, and
fools seldom step beyond the shadow
of their own foolishness.
The wise man makes his own OPP
portunity, and that begets other and
greater opportunities, and they breed
success.
Your future is not up to %opportuni-
ty-it is up to you.
