OPPORTUNITY.

The world IL recovering. There 10
evidence Of this on every hand. BUSH
nesses which have marked time for
many months are now proceeding with
their plans. 1t is important that we
should all recognize what the present
facts point to--that this is the mo-
uent Of a newborn opportunity.
Opportunity is more than optimism.
1t is better than good cheer. courage
and noble determination. These are
uesful to tide us over difficult times.
But opportunity consists of favorable
conditions-actual and arrived.
Net since the clos. of hostilities
have economic circumstances held out
so much Of hopeful evidence.
The deadlock in business has been
broken. Farm prOducts-the basis Of
all prosperity-have advanced. With
these approaching a parity with prices
Of ether goods. healthy business
growth may now go on unimpeded.
Opportunity is only for him who
acts. however. And it's richest reward
IL only for him who acts first. Cir
cumstances will net wait for the lag
gard. A few weeks or months hence
will show what companies and what
individuals were leaders In grasping
the advantages In the turn of the tide.
Let each man ruse enthusiasm and
become an optimist. Let him shake
himself free from any spell of apathy
which he may have caught from the
prevailing mood of the past months.
Let him base his plans and purposes
on the new facts that have sprung
into existence.
Opportunity Is at hand. Grasp it
with full appreciation. with enthusi-
asm. with a mind made up that the
balnce of the year shall bring us vic
tory and results in which we can all
rejoice.-Armour's Magazine.

ECONOMY:

The Fallon county court house is
located nearly half a mile from The
business section Of the town Of Baker.
When the commissioners. yielding to
pressure for economy in expenditures
ordered all telephones removed from
county offices. one of the local papers
passed the following criticism:
''The county commissioners have
started strict economy at the court
house by taking out the phones in all
offices. Anyone wanting information
about county matters or other busi-
ness ordinarily conducted at the tele-
phone will either have to send nes-
senger or take taxi to look after
bushes which would otherwise take
two minutes. Would it not have been
wise to leave 1T least enc or two
