He can't. All he does is to provide
You room in which to perform. If
you sit in the corner and wait for

Father Time is only a sort of

He see the tenants come and go.
But h chas nothing to do with any

When You enter the arena he may
bow and say, "Good morning."
When You check out seventy or eighty
years later he may say, GOOD

One of the %sillicst of human dclu-

isn't "A big town. and yet Frederick
knight Logan made a fortune from
an idea he picked up there.
Logan is a musician. Some years
ago he journeyed to New York to win
success, and there he became musical
director to several stars. His real
ambition, however. was to become a
successful composer. He had a dozen
compositions published. but none ever
amounted to anything. Then he
returned To his home town TO teach
music and give local musicals. In
New York he had been an artistic
and financial failure. But he still had
faith in himself.
One day while walking along the
road in Oskaloosa he came across a
stranger strumminc on an old guitar.
Over and Owe the man thumbed q
weird strain, and when Logan in
quircd as to its origin. the man re-
piled:
Its as old as the hills. mister.
My grandfather used 10 play it. He
told me he heard the Indians play it
when he was a boy"
Logan gave the mar a dollar. and
started for home with the weird
strain haunting him. He felt that it
was common property, and decided to
develop it into a waltz. The original
melody vas so weird and vet so
plaintive that he felt confident it
would appeal to most persons. As
usual, friends advised him not to
bother with it. They said it was too
weird. unmusical, and unromantic.
But Logan didn't agree with them.
He published the number and sent
dance orchestrations to about one
hundred leaders.
About two months later F. J.. 4.
Forster, the Chicago music ,iobber,
received a few small orders for
Missouri Waltz" He had never
heard OF the title before, didn't know
who published it. and had to let the
orders 30 untitled. As time passed.
and the orders Tor Missouri Waltz"
kept increasing, Forster got the idea
that a hit was sncaking out, and he
instructed his manager to 20 out and
find the publisher. :
To date missouri Waltz" has
passed the two million mark. Logan
has been paid. more than fifty thou
sand dollars in royalty, and Forster
has made n hundred thousand.
With Logan and Forster it was
just another ease of brining two
things together-the melody and the
public. Had iether man become dis
couraged at the start, Logan would be
still teaching, with Forster still Won
dering how it would feel to be the
publisher of a national hit. Since
then Logan and Forster have cleaned
up on '.Blue Rose Waltz and
