The reason that so many people fail in
life is because they are not willing to pay
the final price of success.
For all that we get in the world we have
to pay something. Nothing is free, but
when we pay little, we get little.
The trouble with most of us is that we
are always on the still hunt for bargain
We want the best, but we expect to get 1t
marked down from dollar to forty-n1ne
cents, and we are surprised and disappoint-
ed when we find that we do not get first
class articles for a second-class price.
/ In truth, there are just as few bargains
in success as there are in department stores.
The real, genuine, first-class goods that are
yard wide, and all-wool, and that will not
shrink nor fade, but that will stand the
wear and tear Of daily use, and the fierce
glare of publicity, must always be bought at
a high price. For cut-rate prices you get
cut-rate goods. Not without reason has the
word "cheap" become term of reproach.
1t is the little extra price you pay that
gets you the genuine article instead of
pinchbecks.
Take the matter of business success, for
instance. Two poor boys of equal ability
start out in life under the same conditions.
Both must work Both must deny them
selves many things they would like to have.
So far they both pay the inevitable price
of the poor man who has his way to make
in the world.
But one of the boys pays as little as he
can. He does just as little work as he can
to hold his job. 1t is simply a bread-and-
butter problem with him. His interest in
his work is purely perfunctory. He never
tried to learn anything about the goods he
sells. He makes no effort to improve his
technique, or acquire superior craftsman
ship. He is the last to punch the time
clock in the morning and the first to leave
in the evening. He spends every cent he
makes, and grumbles at being ill paid.
The other boy puts every ounce of in
telligence and energy he possesses into his
work. He strives continually to improve
himself, and to master everything connect
ed with his job. He makes his employers
interest his own. He is always willing to
work Overtime in any emergency. He saves
his money.
One of these boys is failure who never
gets anywhere in life. He is poor, ill-paid
drudge till the end of the chapter The
other boy rises to success, and at middle
age is prosperous and respected, and has
made his own place in the sun, just be-
cause he had the grit to pay the full price
Of success for the thing that he wanted.
- The same thing may be said of mother
hood. Women fail as mothers because they
think that somehow they can raise their
children on the bargain counter plan.
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1922-02-04

Heaven knows motherhood is a costly
enough thing at best. For her children
every woman pays in the supreme agony
of body, in endless anxiety and sacrifice.
She cannot escape that, and having paid
so much, one would think that she would
go on and pay her final installment on the
superlative motherhood that would insure
her boys and girls turning out to be the
sort of men and women that are an honor
to their parents, and blessing to the COM
.munity.
Unfortunately, all too many women balk
at this last settlement. They WEIGH on the
final payment. These are the mothers who
let their children run the streets while they
are gadding about to luncheons and bridges
and matinees. These are the mothers who
that they do not know how their children
are diverting themselves. These are the
mothers who follow the line of least re-
sistance, and give in to their children be-
cause they have not the nerve and courage
to stand up and fight self-willed, half
grown boys and girls.
The final price of motherhood is a stag
gering one, but only the women who pay
it do their duty by their children and reap
the reward.
Whether marriage turns out well or ill,
whether it ends in the divorce courts, or a
home that is a. heaven on earth, depends
absolutely on whether a man and woman
are willing to pay the final price of matri-
mony. Every one who marries must pay
something. They can't get out of that.
Marriage is bound to bring cares and anx-
ieties and burdens from which the single
are free. 1t exacts the giving up of ones
own inclinations and desires.
Every husband and wife must pay this
price for being married, and it is because
they pay it with grumbling, and whining,
and under protest, that so many marriages
are failures. 1t is because so many hus-
bands and wives try to cheat, and get all
for nothing that SO many homes are broken
up.
It is those who are just enough, and gen.
erous eonugh, to pay the full price Of matri-
mony who make of marriage shining
success. They pay in love, and patience,
and forbearance They strive for the happi-
ness of each other. They give truth, and
loyalty, and sympathy, and understanding.
They count sacrifice a joy because it is
made for something dearer to them than
their own selfish egotism.
Always it is those who pay the full price
who get the worth of their money. Fate
runs no bargain table.

Two managers were discussing the posi-

HoOard to Succeed Kenuon
II RESIDENT HARDING's appointment
of Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, to

of Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, to
circuit court judgeship was
generally construed as an effort to put
a cheek upon the power of the ag-
ricultural bloc in the Senate The Iowa
Senator was the leader of the bloc and one of
the Administrations principal sources of
concern regarding party regularity and party
control over legislative affairs.
But apparently the choice of Senator
Kenyon for circuit court judgeship, there
by removing him from the Senate and nom
inally depriving the bloc of their leader, is
not going to relieve the situation for the
Administration, for the announcement is
made that James R. Howard, president of
the American Farm Bureau Federation and
prominent citizen of Iowa. has been Sc
lected by Governor Kendall of that State for
appointment to succeed the Senator.
The significance of this appointment lies
in the fact that Mr.. Howard has been the ac-
knowledged head of the agricultural organ
ization i'm Washington which directed the
program Of the agricultural bloc. Says the
New York World of Mr.. Towards influence
'An observer looking about for the
most powerful political figure in the
United States at present would have to
pass over the President, who has been
dehed by Congress, and also the old-line
party leaders within Congress, who have
been defed by he agricultural bloc. He
would have to pass over the bloc ITSELF
for it has been doing number of things
it didn't want to do, and search for the
organization or the man who has been
debating to these middle western Rep
Z resentative' and Senators who hold the
3 balance of legislative power. The or
ganization is not hard to find. 1t is the
American Farm Bureau Federation, and
James r. Howard is its president"
Thus, apparently, the Administration.

growing power of the agricultural bloc has

Alaska Flour

The first flour mill in operation in Alaska
has begun turning out product from northern
grown wheat.
The quality of the flour is excellent and the
mills capacity, twenty-five barrels per day,
is sold weeks ahead The venture is merely
an experiment, following the production last
ar in the Tanana valley of more than 10,-
900 bushels of we'll matured wheat.
With the advent of the railroad the crop
of wheat and other grain in the interior val
leys is sure to increase and a large and
modern equipped FIGURING plant will be erect
ed with capacity to supply the territory with
flour and cereals.
For the first time in it's history Alaska
is in a way entirely independent of the
states for it's bread and butter catt,e-raising
and dairying being the frs. real agricultural
success, several years ago.

Evacuating Ireland

British evacuation of Ireland is proceeding
more speedily than was anticipated.
Each day sees large batch of troops leave
Dublin and other ports. Departure Of the
Dublin garrison is due to begin this week.
Throughout Ireland vacant barracks are
falling under control Of the new Irish govern
ment and some may be needed for the new
Irish army, although nothing has yet been
decided in regard to the size of that body
1t is taken for granted that it will be estab.
lished promptly, and green uniforms are being
manufactured in Dublin on large scale.
1t is noteworthy that the evacuation of the
British has occurred everywhere without man
Hesitation whatever from the people.
The transition from one government to
another has been rapid, but criminals have
done their worst to take advantage Of any
confusion arising from the change. There
have been daring bank robberies and hold-ups
throughout the country and even in Dublin
city, but the new government is dealing Wig
orously with the criminal element and in parts
of Tipperary martial law proclaimed and
serious penalties threatened for the unau-
thoriZed carrying of arms
Although the evacuation of British troops
is to be complete, it is only from southern Ire
land. For the purpose of the treaty in this
respect, northern Ireland counts as though it
were England, and accordingly, large bodies
Of troops are fulfilling the promise to evac-
uate simply by marching across the border
