Theory or Fact.

Some men are great on theory.
They seem to know more than
the ordinary fellow about them.
Talk is there long suit, whereas
labor will do no more.
Senseand labor com bined make
the wheels of industry hum, the
farms go and the Professional
man efficient.
Theories are good if practiced
in an earnest, practical way.
But the man sitting OH the street
corner talking by the hour &C
complishes very little. In fact
he hinders more than he helps
for the reason that he will keep
a busy man from his work to
listen to his wisdom.
Give US less theory and more
facts. These stay with US. They
help US. Living workable facts.
These tried out will advance
our usefulness and aid to build
our wealth.
