Under the new scale of income tax

LISTEN TO AMBITIONS VOICE
Desirable Companion May Fail to Call
Again if She Is Not Accorded
Recognition.

Most young people seem to think
that ambition is quality that is born
in one and which cannot be materially
changed, but the greatest ambition may
be materially injured in many differ
ent ways. The habit of prOcraStinl-
ton, of postpOning, the habit of pick
ing out the easier tasks and putting
off the difficult ones, for example, will
very seriously impair the ambition.
Whatever affects the ideals affects the
ambition.
Ambition often begins very early to
knock for recognition. If we do not
heed it's voice, if it gets no encourage
ment after appealing to us for years,
it gradually ceases to trouble us, be-
cause, like any other unused quality or
function, it deteriOrates or disappears
when unused.
BE careful how you discourage or
refuse to heed that inner voice which
commands you to go forward, for if
YOU do it will become less and less in
sistent until finally it will cease to
prod you and when ambition is dead
deterioration has set in.-FrOm "Ambi-
tion and Success" by Orison SWEET
Marden.
