Have You Discovered YourselfY

In discussing need OF grit. ambi-
ton and determination in the battle
OF life. Billie Sunday said: p. T.
Barnum failed at fourteen different
callings before he found out he was
a natural born Snowman. Gold
smith failed as physician. Who
else could have written THE Desert
ed Village?" Oliver Cromwell was a
farmer when he was 40 years old.
General Grant was tanning hides
at Galena, Illinois at 35 and ID. l..
Moody was selling boots and shoes in
Boston when he was, twenty-five.
Billie might string out a long list
OF belated discoveries OF adaptable
ity and yet there be some fellows
who never find out what they are fit
for.

which had been ripeninS in the store

in a glass-covered box to a local school.
the reptile was identified as a hush

Much Unproductive Land.

About one-fifth Of billion acres Of
the cutover land and woodland in the
United States might be cleared up
and the stumps removed so that the
land would be available for produc-
tive farming. II all this agriculturally
suitable forest and cutover land could
be made into farms averaging 100
acres, it would provide 1,25O,OOO farms.
an Increase OF about 20 per cent
over the present number. 1t is be-

600 acres, or enough for perhaps 3OO.-
600 farms, will be cleared Of the
stumps unless the government assumes
responsibility.
