you and it will keep that value I'M
til you can show yourself to be worth
more.
When did you get your storage
battery recharged? 1t may be the
reason people do not care to hear
you is because you need re-charging
That you cells are dry and exhausted
may be the cause. The general re-
ports are that you are ''dry."

The most polished piece of oak in
our city was not always polished
There are plenty of good pieces of
oak in our town that need polishing.
1t is very easy to distinguish between
stain and polish.
As soon as you find you are ouly
a secondhand man, you may be sure
you are fit only for secondhand
place.
If I am looking for man to man
age for me, l first make a careful
inspection of how you manage your
own business. If I find you succeed
for self, 1 am of the opinion you can
succeed for others.
If 1 am looking for a preacher, a
doctor, or a teacher, 1 am very care
fui to find out "what tools" he has
added to his profession. If I find
these professionals have none of the
late tools, will not give them call
They may have the Especial sense"
of their profession and say they are
not believers in "new tangled" no
tiDns, but such arguments will not
satisfy me. Either catch up, shut up
! OF get out. You are back numbers
| IN the programs of the world.

| When you overload and especially
with egotism, you will find when you
! speed up something will give way

/ When you try to run your engine
/ twenty-five miles is the speed linn
/ it-but you force it to forty-and
! sPmething snaps, you will have a
/ smash. IF you have built your life
/ on the twenty-five mile speed and
/ get the fool notion you are as swift
| az anybody and undertake to speed
| UP to the forty mile class, look out,
| tfouble ahead. There are no re-
pairs kept in stock. 1t would be so
easy, to name the social speeders.

understand some people think
success is a birthright, but the soon

the better off you will be.

If you are honest in your claims
AID really are willing to play the
Big Life Game according to the &C
{epted rules made by the race
through experience of the ages,
come on in for the "water is fine"
You may step on some hidden peb-
lles, get few bruise bnt it is seldom
Mortal wounds are received.

In this age if you want to be a
chronic haggler and spend your time
somplaiing about the prices you
lave to pay to live, you stand good
thance to starve before you settle
he high cost of living. The reason
living is costing more today, is be-
sause it is worth much more to live.
BE glad you are live and pay the
price.
If you have not reached the place
N your thinking, that you are the
King of your domain, then continue
10 be simpering mental There is
hope for you, if you will but whip
shat viii into action and master your
assumed weakness. You say it is
are not through the fourth grade
Andrew Jackson was more than
twenty-one before he could read but

States. Maxwell was a shoemaker

greatest power in England and per
haps Europe. 1t is up to you
