these goods are to be taken away
from the American homes and
shipped to England.
In one instance a motorist stopped
at farm house to fill the radiator of

Both the Food Administration and
the Department of Agriculture join
in a statement to counterfeit what

tends to take from every family all
canned goods put up in excess of 100

This is only one of the variations
of the rumor, which has been widely

"OPPORTUNITY."
Ey jamie Mathews.

Opportunity like charity, begins at
home
There are crowds OF men and WON
en- of today looking and searching Tor
chances" or in the world, to be
worth while. To the great majority,
the search has been fruitless, but, we
see many as they pass along bright
and easy road to success. How?
Just by siezing the opportunity as they
come by
Opportunity has been well described
as a tall, fair man, striding along WITH
quickened step Right in the middle
of his forehead, we see forelock or
hair. Except for this one spot he il
perfectly bald. If we wish to take
every opportunity that passes us, we
must grab quickly for this bunch or
hair for if we let opportunity get just
a few steps in front of us, it is I'M
possible to catch him and drag him
back. We may make several wild
grasps. but each time we open our
hands we find, not a bunch OF mar,
but only air Thus, ii is better for us
that we should go forward to meet
onDortunity and stand straight i'll its
path and grasp the bunch of hair be-
fore it passes.
1t seems as if more opportunities
come to us in our school days than
at any other time. 1t has been wisely
said that "a dreamer may live forever
but an idler dies in a day II we
dream, we are obliged to make our
dreams come true. We will have for
our motto, this one thing | do" We
will grasp at anything that looks just
the least bit like our dreams. but il
idle along day by day, the old MAXIM
becomes plain and palmer, time and
tide wait for no man" The earher
of today who is worth while is the
teacher who is able to help the pu
pills see their opportunities; who cauJ
es them to look into things rather
than TO look at things, Most people
fail of the success they long for, just
because they judge only by external
appearance and do not look through
, things. 1t is a mistake to look for
things at distance. Those chances
that we are busiiy looking for at q
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-04-29

distance, or even next door, are III our
own house. Like Emerson's "Hypro-
critic Days" they are meanly attired
and those who Judge by appearances
think they are Of no account and pass
them by. Yet when they have gone
beyond recall, how bright they look!
how priceless!
Opportunities often stop at the
doors Of people who are off looking
For them. The tragedy Of failure is
FAR oftener in absence from home
when Tie chance comes than in fruit
,ess search for them. The opportuni-
ties lie in us; it is us who write sue
cess by making ourselves ready to
graSp the chances when they come.
The young lawyer of ability waiting
for clients, does not fill his apprentice
ship with impatient wishes for their
coming, but he qualities himself for
the time when he will be mercilessly
tested by his opportunities.
The Outlook says, waiting for a
chance does not mean sitting at home
and letting the world go by; it means
putting into the present use the most
faithful kind of preparation, and deal
ing with the task in hand as if it
we're the work on which all the future
depends, as very likely it. is.
Lyman Abbott says that the three
clements that combine in successful
achievements are, opportunity, equip
ment. and courage. There have been
many people who have been better
equipped to build a great sanitarium
but none of them have had the cour-
age to grasp opportunity's hair and
hold fast like DR.. Trudeau; many Wom-
en- in the Civil War were better equip
yed for nursing. but there was only
one Clara Barton, And there have
been many who are in sympathy with
the struggle of the negro, yet, there
has been only one Booker r. Washing
ton. Most of us have more advan-
! ,ages than we have taken advantage
o. We have passed the doors of OPP
portunity. Sometimes we have not
seen them. sometimes we have felt
ourselves unfit, and have not taken
advantage of them.
| Master of human destinies am |;
Fame, love, and fortune on my foot
steps wait.
Cities and fields | walk; | penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and, pass
ing by
Iovel and mart and palaces, soon OF
later
| knock unbidden, once on every gate
If sleeping, wake; if feasting, rise be
fore
| | turn away: it is the hour of fate,
And they who follow me reach every
/ state
| Mcrtals desire and conquer every foe
Save death; but those who doubt or
hesitate
! Condemned to failure, perjury, and woe
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore
! | answer not and return no more

BY Glover Macarthur.

There was a time when an educated
man was a rarely seen thing; that
time is past. There was time when
few could even write, for Of all the
Barons that signed the Magma Charta,
only three could write their names.
But look at the difference in now and
then. What position does a man hold
in the world who can not write de-
cent letter, and what chance does he
have of ever rising in the world? But
| am sure that you will agree with me
that education is not only blessing
but even necessity.
There are, however, certain condi
tions under which education proves
harmful instead Of helpful. If we get
education at the expense of our health
we have gained nothing, for in what
way can we use it then? God has
given us health and it is wrong to
throw it away.
Schools should be built with the
greatest care. In the first place, q
school room should have plenty OF
air, for the breath Of life" is as nee
essary as the bread of life. Then along
with air and large windows will come
light-One of the most important
things for a growing girl and boy
This feature is one of the MOST com
monty overlooked ones in building &
school house. Pure water and sani
tary drinking places are also neces
sary. Another important feature is
the recess and the playground. "All
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy"
The sum total-common sense and
plenty of it should be used in building
and improving a school building, and
this will produce better soldiers, bet
ter men, better women, and better
lCitiYens.a ....'

program of the Slovenian Society Fri
day afternoon was a mock trial Rev.
Feb F'ishback was tried for the theft
Of three chickens, belonging to Miss
Martha Lifsey, on the night before
ST. Patrick's Day. The chickens miss
ing were one Shanghai rooster, one
Dominecker hen, and one frying size
Leghorn pullet The attorneys for
the defense tried TO prove an alabi
for the prisoner They cOntended
that the Rev Zeb Fishback was some
distance in the country conducting
the wedding ceremony of Russell Har-
ris. The witness for the defense posi-
lively stated that they were present
at the ceremony in which Rev. Zeb
Tishback joined in Holy Wedlock Mr..
Russell Harris, Jr., and Miss Sallie
Brown, and that the defendant was
net in town at the time of the theft.
The witness for the state failed o
convince the jury that the defendant
stole the chickens, yet on the other
hand the witnesses for the defense

Oner was in the country at the time
of the theft. After strong arguments
on both sides the jury was charged
