Keep Trying
BY FoNTA1NE FOX

Oh don't give up when luck Is shy
and storm clouds hover in the sky
when all the world is cold to you and
when your bills are overdue, when
trade Is dull or work is slack and cred
itors are on your track. for, just when
everything looks worst and you believe
that you are cursed, some luck will
tumble from the sky. Perhaps your
Da-in-law may die and leave you forty
billion yen to start your business up
again. Or else the man who got your
Job may prove to be a useless slob
and just when things are looking black
they'll fire him and take you back.
No matter how the gods may frown
they never keep a good man down, but,
use bad luck to test your grit and as
certain If you are fit and If they find
you stand the gaff they just lay back
their heads and laugh, and then they
help you get along, because they like
the man who's strong. WILL MOORE.
