MOURN OVER LOST CHANCES
Few Who Do Not Claim to Have Had
Great Opportunities, and
Lost Them.

In an article I'm Peoples Magazine
| Hugh S. Fullerton tells of millions Of
dollars worth of ideas running to
waste.

follow up than the ones l made my

That was said to me by man who
ranks among the wealthiest in the
country and who is credited. among
! his associates, with almost supernat-
ural wisdom in evolving ideas and see
ing. their possibilities.
EVERY man had one or more big
chances to get to the top" he cOntin-
ued. "If you don't believe that. just
get into any crowd of men, tell some
yarn of an opportunity that you had,
and overlooked, and then listen to
them. Chances are every one of them
will have a better story of lost oppOr-
tunity than you told, and nine out Of
ten of them will tell wonderful story
of how some other man stole their
great ideas and got rich or famous
from them Examine into these stories
and yo4 will ind, in the majority Of
cases, that the man who claims to have
originated the idea did not do it at
all, that he did not see the possibili-
ties of it, or that, even if he did, he
was not smart enough or lacked the
initiative to follow 1t up.
There are more chances for men to
get rich now than there ever were be-
fore in the history of the world, and
more big chances being overlooked.
Whether 1t is, because men lack faith
in themselves or because they prefer
a humming bird in the hand to an
eagle in the air, don't know. They

warm in winter, and are supplied with

it is the healthy and comfortable cow

When planning to build barn or
rebuilding the old one so that it will
be modern, 1t is well to consult the
contractor who viii build the barn
and the material dealer who will fur
nish the materials. Both of these
men know about barn construction, and
many of them have a variety of barn

of wax. The leaves are dried in the
