1t seems that the time-hOnored custom
of only two terms in the same Office in

ninety-flve per cent of the good luck
is brought about by real, old hard

inspiration and determination and
three fOurths perspiration. We are
aware that labor without an aim in
life or want of management is like a
ship without rudder 1t takes us no.
where. But the desire for something
in life, coupled with willingness to
use both our hands and brains. will
carry us further in the right direction
than all the good luck" in the world.
