THE MAN WHO QUITS

The man who quits has brain and hand,
AS good as the next but lacks the sand
That would make him stick with cour-
age stout
To whatver he tackles, and fight it out.
He starts with rush, ana a solemn Vow
That he'll soon be showing the others Row !;
Then something new strikes his rowing
eye,
And his task is left for the bye-and- bye.
It's up to each man what becomes of him );
He must find in himself the grit and vim
That brings success; he can get the skill,
If he brings to the task steadfast will.
No man is beaten till he gives in.
Hard luck can't stand for cheerful grin ;
The man who fails needs a better excuse
Than the cutters whining, whats the
use?"
For the man who quits lets his chances
slip,
Just because he's too lazy to keep his grip
The man who sticks goes ahead with
shout,
While the man who quits joins the "down
and out"

TALKS ON TIL r | F I
AMERICAN IDEALS AND
WEAKNESSES

OPINIONS may differ materially as to
I what is the leading motive IN the
- life of the average American and
what the leading ideal. We have been
charged with being nation of material
lists, bent on getting money, getting mon
ey all the time and all we can get OF it
not to save particularly, but to spend. Our
aim is not to save more, but to earn more.
If we cannot have what we want, we do
not do without, but work harder for it.
We believe in gauglng our pleasures by
the cost and not the satisfaction we get
out of them. When we make up our minds
that we have been foolish and frittered
away our possessions, we try to recOup,
not by spending less, but by earning more.
It must be admitted that we can, as a
people, make money. We can save only a
small part in comparison with other ma
tons, but we do have the knack of
getting it. The salaries paid our officials
and leading business men would make
some European nations envious, and the
wages Of the American Workmen have at
tracted boards Of European laborers to our
shores.
No one denies that we make money, but
is that the leading motive in American
life? The questions: What in your opin-
ion are the leading ideals of the men with
whom you associate?" were put to about
one hundred leading men, farmers, scien
lists and others, and the replies show that
forty-six consider service to ones fellows
to be the leading ideal, while twenty-eight
think the making of money for selfish en-
jOyment or personal power is the leading
motive.

HARD TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
Farmer Buys Machinery and Supplied
at Retail Prices and Sells Product
at Wholesale Figures.

Ry JOHN H. VAUGHAN. Professor OK
Economics, New Mexico Agricultural
College.)
A manufacturer who bought all his
raw materials, tools, machinery and
supplies at the high retail price and
sold his product at the low wholesale
price would expect but one result.
from his enterprise-failure. Instead
of this childish procedure, he goes In
to the market, buys his raw materials
and supplies at the lowest wholesale
figure, manufactures his product, and
puts it on the market at a profit. n
his W single purchasing power Is
not great enough to secure the lowest
prices on his raw materials, he joins
a group Of other manufacturers
gagged in like business, in order that
their combined purchasing power may
command the best Il. e., lowest)
prices.
Not so with the farmer. He buys
his machinery and supplies at the
highest retail prices, sells his products
at the lowest wholesale prices, and
wonders why he finds it so hard to
make ends meet" The shreWdest
captain of industry would become &
bankrupt as the result Of such &
policy. Let the farmers think It oYer.
There's a reason.
