is THIS "Y0UNG MANS AGE7"
Golden Period Of Achievement Comes
When Man Is Well Past Forty
Years of Age, II Is Claimed.

Our times are frequently called the
age Of the young men. But when one
looks back to the revolutionary era of
our country. from 1775 to 1925, and
considers the striking yeuthfulness Of
the leaders of America the appellation
does not appear exactly to fit" said a
New York man In a recent interview.
Nor do the men now In their twen-
ties and thirties push the men of the
sorties and fifties hard enough to prove
that this is pre-eminently the young
mans age. Unless men Of forty are
considered young, this scarcely is a
young mans age.
THE youngsters under thirty receive
an undue degree of attention from the
professions and business. A notion
prevails that the latest graduate from
college, technical school or university
is more desirable than the man who
mas mad postgraduate courses in life's
college Of experience. Best sellers.
movies and magazine articles about
business foster the notion. Conse-
quently, a distressingly large number
OF men from twenty-five to thirty ex-
pect to be the bosses of big businesses
or corresponding professions or tech
meal vocations by the time they are
thirty-five.
Many will, If they work hard and
prove to possess capacity, occupy posi-
lions of responsibility. But scarcely
at thirty-five. The golden age of
achievement really comes in most
cases 10 years later. In fact, the pres
ent age is the age of the mature man.
In literature the success today is not
the man Of thirty. Irwin Cobb would
almost universally be considered a
success in literature, but Cobb is forty
one and has not reached the fullness
of his power. George AIDE is ffty-one,
Harrington forty-eight, Frank Cobb, a
chief writer of editorial, forty-eight.
The success achieved through develop

dee Is reserved for the mature"

Flies San MILK SunnIx-

Comes fly time with horse flies, deer
flies, bot flies. horn flies, stable flies
and all the other flies uniting to make
life miserable for cows and to cause
a large decrease in the milk flow.
The sustained production of milk is
iwell-known to depend largely on the
comfort and contentment of the dairy
COW. Flies not only cause direct loss
of blood and poisoning from their bites.
but also keep stock from feeding prop
.erly. The loss Of milk from this cause
is one of the serious problems that
faces the dairy farmer.
