The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1917-12-22

away on the beautiful banks OF the
Wabash, you are here to be moved by
the mighty days Of the twentieth cen
fury What your grandfather only
dreamed, you are make into reality.
If you comence to whine at the first
blister you find on your hand. Won
will not get far. Learning is the re-
suit of effort. Some fools think it is
an inherited intuition.
As you study your life-you have
been milling around for ten years and
have not honestly accomplished any
thlng-you find you are growing sick
of your coloriess existence it is
up to you. You are heir to everv-
thing beneath the sun; the earth and
its fullness thereof become your
legacy. 1t is for you to prove title
to your heirskip.
There is no magic word that makes
men win or Ego over the top" This
going over is done by having courage,
energy, capability and ambition
stirred with hope. Your chance of
success begins just as soon as you are
willing to take chance.

Remember these are the days for
sky-scraping careers. You will find
only doubters and weaklings are wag-
ing a better struggle of hate. You
must learn that growing" is habit
and you must keep moving or forever
remain small.
The reason some preachers never
/ n hoo
sermonic productions are musty from
age.
A knocker is a destroyer Always
shun a man who never has a good
word for any man, but the fellow that
is throwing gold to him. When you
commence to knock, commence to
T construct or be classed as a crouch
ing sore head.
If you want happiness and con-
tentment travel over the rough,
craggy road of the pioneer. 1t is hard
you find you count for what you
have done, and there is a real reward
at the end.
The day has passed for crooked
dealing. If you want a fair field re-
member other folks are expecting
you to give them square deal. Just
as soon as a man finds you have
taken advantage of his fidelity you
may expect to lose his loyalty.
Have you, failing bushes men, not
learned that want" pages are mar
ket places? You may fill your store
full of good goods" and fail to let
the people know about it, and they
will stay there until they shelf-wear
Tell to the world your ''wares" and
if wanted men will flock to your
counters.
In some unknown way people
have been taught that efficiency is a
birthright. The conclusion is wrong.
Efficiency is an education. Even dia-
| monds do not give off their greatest
| fire until they have been educated
by cutting, grinding and polishing.
It's their brilliancy must b eground
out Of them and so your worth must
be rubbed and polished out of you.
lou Will never be worth much until
you have truly suffered.

The time has come when your fam
| lily connections are of no moment.
You may pirate about your ''family
tree, about that relative that came
over in the Bfayf1ower, or the one
that fought at BunkerhilI, Or carried
the flag at Gettysburg this is
| history or tradition, but it does not
help or affect US. You should know
old trees or old families have many
| dead limbs. But the better
your stock the more merciless
we vii be IN judging you;
l-and the only way you can CON
vince US is for you to get down to
hard-pan an dig. 1t is more than
! certain we will be forced to hurt
your rotten pride for the past be-
cause our estimate of your import
| ance cannot be made upon your an
! cestry.
! Ny friend, F. C. Griffith of Kanop-
oils, has just issued the Kansas Meth
