OPPORTUNITY

Opportunity is not always a mater
ial thing. Often it is state of mind
or a matter of study and application
Opportunities are more often made
than not. An example of what is
meant is well illustrated by story
which recently came to the writer
from Lowell where two young men
on a small farm have been raising
strawberries and this year from
three-quarters of an acre sold $500
worth of berries.
Another example of the same prin-
ciple comes from Barton where a
young man started a laundry a year
ago and today is obliged to install
more machinery and hire extra help
to care for his splendid business.
Again there comes an example OF
the idea that opportunity is made,
sometimes found by analysis, and is
not thing forced upon one. From
Newport there comes the story of a
young man who has started to manu-
facture ladders and finds ready
market for them, there being no man
ufacturer of these goods nearer than
Boston.
These are three widely distributed
and entirely distinct examples of re-
Gently discovered opportunities right
here in Orleans county which ought to
furnish inspiration for others. The
writer knows of many other similar
and as conspicuous examples of op-
portunity made, or found, at home
and not in far distant fields, in other
climates or in great metropolitan
centers. He could name score right
here in Orleans county, though not
all as recent.
1t is not the lack of opportunity
which compels so many of our youth
to leave home but more often lack OF
VISION lack of study and lack of ap.
probation of resources at our very
door. Orleans county abounds in
hidden opportunities, some of then
so slightly obscured that when once
brought to view we marvel that they
were not before discovered.
Besides study and other things nee
essary to grasp these opportunitie:
already named, one must possess
courage, energy and conviction. Sci
dom does lack of capital need to stant
in the way, for youth with the quail
tiles to discover opportunity will fint
such capital as is necessary.
We say again with all sincerit.
that opportunity is present here AM
now for many more of our youth thar
was ever present before. Bette
times are ahead. New enterprise
will come into being and prosper
cid enterprises with new turns AM
angles will go far ahead of thos
now in existence, and the originate.
of youth should find many oppor
tunities at home.

Internal Reuenue Pointers

With the repeal BY the revenue act
OF 1921 OF the so-caIled luxury tax
on articles of mems and women's
wearing apparel and other changes in
tax legislation, the Bureau CT Inter
nal Revenue has issued new regula-
tions (47 and 49, relating respect
lively to the excise tax on sales by the
manufacturer of certain articles
automobiles and accessories, cameras,
candy, fire arms, cigars and cigarette
holders, liveries, hunting garments,
carpets, rugs, trunks, etc.-and the
exercise tax on works of art and jew
elery.
The principal changes in the lat
ter taxes are that the tax on works
Of art is reduced from 10 to . per cent
and that the tax on jewelry and SIM
liar articles, which remains at D per
cent no longer includes gold or silver
ornamental glasses and .spectacles
The tax on works Of art attaches on
all sales except the original sale by
the artist, a sale to an educatlona!
institution or public art museum and
sales by dealers for resale.

Methodist Pay-Up Week

Nashville Tom, Feb. 23.-Through
out Southern Methodist uei,
tory special periods, known as paE-up
week arc being observed in the lntet-
est of Centenary collections. AZ ms
time it is expected that every mem
Der of the Methodist Church VINO
made subscription of the Gentleman!
of Missions Movement will maze some
payment on that pledge.
In this work the presiding elders,
pastors, missionary secretaries ana
Centenary treasurers are to nave
leadership and a statement IS 10 DC
given each subscriber and an appear
made for the payment OF the amount
due to date. Owing to depressed
business and financial conditions, II
is said that in many sections the pay
mcnts have not been in keeping with
the record made by the churches IN
the matter of subscriptions. SUB
scriptions were made on iivc-ycar
basis, and more than one-half OF the
total subscriptions are now due. An
earnest effort will be made during
LnG Day up INV Sa'IS'It N't
Southern Methodist territory to BRING
all payments up to date. Drs. ". B.
Bcauchamp, j. J. Stowe, ". 3. RicEs,
J. S. Chadwick and others who have
made annual conference visitation re-
port interest in the Centenary still
keen, and state that there IS every
disposition on the part Of the people
to make good their pledges.
Since according TO the Centenary
plan, 10 per cent of all Centenary
moneys collected is returned to the
annual conferences to be applied to
home mission work, it is expected that
Mcthodists in this section will seek to
make as good showing as possible
during pay-up week in order that
Centenary funds will DC available for
local mission work. Reports from
central headquarters at Nashyliic,
Tenn, indicate that in many localities
the pay up-wcok" period has been
consummated with gratifying results.

The University of Virginia has
won out in the strenuous contest
that has been waging for months
past, to take away its Medical De
partment and merge it with the
Richmond institution, removing 1t
to the latter city. The fight was a
fierce one and occasioned hot de-
bate on the floor OF the State Sen

SEGREGATION OF TAXES

There is a bill now. pending IN
the Legislature, involving the
segregation OF taxes, that we hope
will not fail OF passage. AleNan-
dria is interested i'll it to the extent
of an actual gain Oh Real Estate
and Tangible Property amount
ing to S21,S25.72. The loss Oh
taxation of Intangible Property, It
is true, would amount to SlO,-
264.4S. but the net gain would
equal Sll,559.24. The figures as
to all the counties and cities would
mean a gain on Real Estate and
Tangible Property OF S2,S54,-
oS2.S5. The loss to the State al
large would be readily compcnsat-
ed by an increased rendition OF III
tangiblcs.
We call the attention OF our del
egate and state senator to this bill
and trust they will render it due
support when it comes up.

laws discriminate against women.
That the grounds for divorce are
unequal. That women can not
serve on juries. And finally, that
women are not admitted to the
State University on equal terms
with men.
Some Of their objections go to
the very root Of the institutions
Of property and the family, and it
is a very serious problem as to how
to change them. But on the whole,
we are inclined to believe that Our
laws should be changed in malIy
instances so as to readjust them to
the new status Of woman in the
State.

CALOMEL SALIVATES

The Very Next Dose of This Treach-

You know what calomcl is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gcrouS. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sic!;ening
you. Caiomcl attacks the bones and
should never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, hcadacky, con-
situated and all knocked out, just go
TO your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel' Take
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomcl and
Without making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightcns
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.
