Success in life doesn't
consist in never failing,

we fall; we all sometimes
stumble on the way. If
we never make a mistake
we shall never share in a
real success, If you are on
the wrong track, then
back retrace the step and
reface. the days problem

Whatever success this
store may have achieved
in the past has been earn
ed by profiting today

take the wrong step here,

THE CRIME OF PROCRASTINATION.

P15crastination is the thief of time, the de-
laver cf development and the grand larcenlst
of opportunity. What has not Congress been
guilty of in delaying expansion of the natural
resources Of the West for ten years by ,conser-
walton? Political obstacles to the power and
oil land leasing bill have been removed and
agreement reached by Congress at least. Pas
sage Of the biz should result in many benefits
heretofore impossible by reason of discrlm-
mating conservation policy. The change could
come at no more oPportune time, adding, as It
does. q new source of employment for surplus
labor Legislation Of this kind means more than
tie creation of buffer employment, because 1t
makes for permanent expansion. When the
United States first entered the war, the mistakes
cf our conservation policy we're revealed as Sc
r:oaS problems The struggle for increased pro-
duc,ion was fraught with difficulties as result
Of the restrictions by conservation. It became
aDparent that intelligent conservation of the
coUntrv's resources called for something more
The leasing bill should encour-
aca development which will strengthen the eco
nonlic power Of the nation in the years ahead
The leasing bill, Whenenacted into law, will pro
vide new fields Of activity for the men who are
not attracted by the farm plan. 1t means some
thing more than development Of the lands, fol
this work will establish need for new indus
trial and manufacturing plants. Altogether II
constitutes & recognition Of western resources
which has been merited for years.

ENGLAND,S COMING Man.

t is declared that the coming man IN Eng

heard in this country. Lloyd George the pres
ent leader, is the head Of coalition cabinet
cC11noaed largely o. conservatives, while he Is
peace IS declared it IS expected that cabinet will
break 10 and arc ~er election viii be held.
Clynes is a member Of the new cabinet, he IS
food ccntroiie., { oeIegate 10 the peace confer
ence and va. - r5gu a. = his district that ne
man cared to run against him. He IS acknoW-
edged head of a new labor party, which IS
formed on somewhat different principles from
the old and he believes that capitalists and work
eTs are natural friends and that both are bec0m-
ing more reasonable. He IS not in any sense
an extremist, yet al the last labor convention
he was the most popular Of all the delegates
and received the highest number OF votes.
Clynes has abandoned the old labor union
idea that there was danger Of oTcrpr0ducUion.
lie is in favor Of machinery and more output.
lie recently said:
"Anything that machinery can do 10 save
human hands ana to spe1o ug production s1Ouid
be done"
This labor leader Was q child Of poverty and
began work in the cotton mills when he was 10
years old, but he read every book he could get
MS hands upon. The Bible, NH and shake
sBca1c were his most treasured ones. from the
Bible he got MS ethics from Mil his political
CcCncInv and from Shakespeare his beauty Of

fluence his course OF action. II is said that he
is the most trusted man in England tooas.
