Genius and Success

Genius is only the power Of making
continuous efforts. The line between
failure and success Is so fine that We
scarcely know when we pass ii; so
fine that we are often on the line and
do not know It, How many man
has thrown up his hands at time
when a little more enort, little more
patience, would have achieved success |!
AS the tide goes clear out. so 1t comes
clear In. In business sometimes pros
poets may seem darkest when really
they are on the turn. A little more
persistence, a little more effort, and
what seemed hopeless failure may
turn to glorious success. There is no
failure except in no longer trying.
There is no defeat except from with
in; no really insurmountable barrier
save our own inherent weakness Of
purpose.-Elbert Hubbard.

and while the state of Idaho does not

been of the best and has facilitated

SEEK RELIEF MEANS.
Harding Calls Conference to
Help Agriculture.

Washington, D. C.-President
Harding, last Friday, asked Secre-
tary Wallace of the department OF
agriculture to call a national con-
ference at Washington Ito suggest
practical ways of improvement"for
"the severe agricultural depression
which exists throughout the land. "
Prompt action was taken at the
department of agriculture IN
response to the request, telegraph
ic invitation being dispatched i'm
mediately to number of organi-
cations and individuals whose
attendance is desired at the meet
ing.
Secretary Wallace said the date
of the conference was not fixed nor
a complete invitation list made up,
but it is expected that the con
ference will be held within
month. In addition to farmers
and their organizations, industries
associated directly and indirectly
with agriculture will be called in
to assist in the efforts to improve
conditions.
"No one will pretend that the
present conditions could have been
avoided" President Harding said
in his letter to the secretary, "but
none of US is willing to agree that
there ought not to be some correct
and conservative steps taken to
remedy the severe hardshipsunder
which so important a portion of
our productive citizenship is strug-
Cling. am convinced that
conference may be made a very
helpful agency in suggesting prac-
tical ways of improvement, princi-
pally if brought in co ordination
with the helpful investigation
which has been begun by con-
gressional commission committed
to a related work."
The president said further that
"our present day difficulties,
though temporary, are serious and
need effective attention."
The congressional commission
referred to is that which is engaged |
in the investig gation of prices in all
the large cities and many country |
communities.

OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
Heads Of Departments See Pro-
mise In New Year.

Much of promise in the new year
is seen by Secretaries Hoover and
Weeks, who in statements at
Washington, D. c., last Saturday
night declared that the American
people could look forward into 1922
as year of recuperation.
"Considering that we have gone
through the greatest war in history
and considering the dangers we
have passed through in the great
readjustment of 1921" said Secre-
tary Hoover, "we have lot to be
cheerful over and we have ahead
of us very substantial prospects of
steady employment both at home
and abroad"
f'The industrial aud social up
heaval resulting from the war
reached its crisis during the year."
said Secretary Weeks. "'The per-
iod of adjustment has been trying
for the people and government, but
the rapidity with which the Amer
ican people have been putting
their affairs in order during the
past few months makes the outlook
for complete industrial adjustment
and resulting prosperity during the
coming year bright"
Mr.. Hoover, in his statement,
says:
Except for the seasonal dip Of
the winter, we should have con-
tinued lessening of unemployment
and an increasing betterment in the
agricultural situation. We have
passed through the most precipi-
tous price drop in our history-a
drop averaging nearly SO per cent

something over twenty billion dol.

booms; we are on much sounder
foundations.
eve have still good many
readjustments to be made. The
farmer has fallen too much and
some of the industries such as coal,
railways and construction are far
above the average levels; bur

President Harding. who recognized
that his running mate of the cam

energetic, gave that recognition force
by asking Mr.. Coolidge to participate
in the meetings of the cabinet. This
was not only a recognition of Mr..
Coolidge's ability, but 1T also enabled
the Vice President to be in touch with
every phase of governmental activity,
and in case anything happened to the
President, the next in command would
have a personal and intimate knowledge
