THE CHANCE GOES BY.

A man does not always know
his chance when it comes to
him, but if he let's it pass, he
will lean in time that it went
by. Then, too late he will over
whelm himself with reproaches
for not Selling the golden oppor
tunity.

in those whom they employ, for
that means not simply the waste
of time that should be spent in
work, but the failure to be pres
ent when Opportunity, coming
without waning, knocks perem
Iptotily and being unanswered,
summarily departs. Returning
| belated, one may listen eagerly
for repetition of that sum-
mons to rise and confront Des-
tiny face to face, but it does not
come. The great chance appear
ed unheralded and found US
wanting and went away, leav-
ling no address with which we
| may communicate.
For our chances do not come
with Grassland music and pen
mons waving. They stealtrily ap-
proach; they seldom advertise.
They come, like successful bur-
glars, when we expect them
least. eff only we had known!'
we cry with vain regret. But
they promptly went where there
were others waiting for them,
with trimmed lamps.
These others seized what might
have been our own, and all our
boast of what we might have
done had our 'luck" been differ
ent is unavailing.
What is luck? Most of the
time it means to be in the right
place at the right moment. The
one who is there is the winner
over one who is elsewhere. And
he who is there must be present
not in physical sense; he must
attend with all his faculties. AS
Shakespeare reminds US, it is
of no use to have our eyes open
if their sense is shut" A SEN
tinel may be at his post, but he
is futile if he sleeps.
Thus to recognize and to i'm
prove the opportunity one must
be broad awake to it with the
keen edge of the senses whetted.
The worker who brings only
part of his mind to his task is
not worth the whole of the pay
he draws. He will miss chances
not merely for himself those
that quickly seized may promote
his own fortunes but for the
concern that when it secured his
services supposed that it was
getting every bit of the man he
is. He must not expect work
er's pay unless he serves with
all his senses aware.

How Long Can 1t Last.

Farmers and business men of
| the United States are confronted
with a staggering burden of local
taxation, administered too fire.
quently under an unsound system
which makes il easy to get into
del t and difficult to control ex-
penditure. Figures recently pre-
pared show that we are spending
for taxes annually sum equal to
1alf our savings banks deposits.
Taxes cost US an amount greater
than the value of all crops raised
on our $500, 900 farms using 340,-
100000 acres of land.
Our annual wheat crop, the lar
gest in the world, if turned over
to our state governments, would
just about meet their expendi-
rures for one year. While we are
he largest producers Of food
SUITS and cotton in the world,
The value of both crops, if turned
over to the local subdivisions of
the states, cities, towns, counties
and townships, would not meet
Cheir revenue requirements for
last year.
We lead all nations in indus
trial production, but the net in
come of all manufacturing cor
porations in our country is not
EQUAL to the combined expendi-
ture of state and local govern
ment. Neither would all the
money in circulation in the Uni
ted States pay their bills for last

VALUE OF A NAME.

What's in a name? The answ.
err for generations back has
been nothing" True a rose by
any other name would smell as
sweet but try to sell it under q
different name if you would
better estimate the value of a
name.
The name of Alexander, Han
Inibal, Caesar and Napoleon ev-
acuated walled cities, turned
whole armies into disastrous
retreat, and conquered empires.
Those names obtained their mag
lie from the deeds of their own
ers.
Because his name might have
been Smith would not have pre-
vented Shakespeare from writ
ing his classic tragedies and in
spite Of their common names
George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln won immortal
fame. Genious is as accidental
as it's name.
And yet American manufactur
ers spend millions annually on
names. For the purpose of estab-
fishing a trade name business
enterprises conduct nationwide
and even worldwide advertising
campaigns. To many manufact-
urers the name of their product
is their fortune, fortune which
could not be amassed without
the aid of advertising.
Modern business has learned
that the three essentials for
success in merchandising are a
worthy product, trademark
and an adequate advertising cam
paign. Advertising > is as essen
tial to retail business as to the
manufacture.
If you're welded t. your job
pay your savings account some
regular alimony.
You can lift a car with jack,
but no amount of knocking with
hammer will raise it a hairs
breadth.
Clintwoods civic golden rule:
Cooperate with other as you would

Roland Mackenzie, Iron
Man" of Golf Pastime

Brown university's iron men of foot
baIl-those muscled eleven gridders
who played through last season with
out a defeat and without substitutions
have fallen this year.
But Brown has another iron man,
and in a different sport That's Ro-
land Mackenzie Of Washington, semi
fnalist in the national amateur tour
nament ar Minikahda in August and
medalist in the amateur in 1925 at
Oakmont-
At Minikahda this young MacKen-
zie played four matches and every one
of them went the limit or better. He
defeated George Thomas of Chicago
in 10 holes; beat Dave Martin in an
other 19-holer, put out the veteran
Harry Legg, conqueror of George Won
Elm, on the thirty-sixth green, and
then finally lost to Chick Evans in
the semi-fnals on the thirty-seyenth.
That's a grind that constitutes some
thing of a record, and only one putt
kept Mackenzie from meeting Bob
Jones in the final.

Rene Lacoste's Machine
HELPED to Beat Tilden

In preparing for his defeat of big
Bill" Tilden last August, Rene La
coste had a mechanical accomplice-
a unique machine of his own invention
the French tennis marve' has dis
closed.
Lacoste recently practiced on the
London hard courts with the appa-
ratus, which fires balls across the net
so rapidly that the player is kept on
the run. This tennis Robot can be
operated by turning a handle or by
the use of an electric motor.
Il have been working on my inven-
ton for more than six months" said
Laeoste after slamming several balls
back at his creation. The great adj
vantage of the apparatus is that you
can have the finest shots fired at you
by a person who has never even
played tennis. My mother and sister
used to turn the handle for me when
/ was in training TO meet Tilden this
year, but / can work my own model
in Paris with an electric motor
at could be so arranged that any
number of balls up to 1000 might be
fired at you in rapid succession"

Manure Best Reinforced
With Acid Phosphate

Manure is a great thing for the
land, but its still better thing if re-
inforced with acid phosphate. Alone,
manure doesn't make a balanced ra-
ton for the crops. Adding acid phos-
plate TO ii is like giving a little grain
TO COW that's already doing well on
clover and silage. 1t jumps up the
returns to an amount far greater than
the cost.
Thus, at the Ohio station, THE use
of 40 pounds Of acid phosphate on
each of eight loads of manure per acre
applied ahead of the corn, in a corn,
wheat and clover rotation, has in
creased the corn seven bushels, the
wheat five bushels, and the clover one
half ton over the yields where the
same amount of manure but no phos-
phate was used"
If You are top-dressing winter wheat
with manure this winter-and that's
good way TO use manure-you can
begin TO cash in right there on the
higher value of phosphated manure.
Simply spread a half bag Of the acid
phosphate over the top of each load
of manure as you drive out to the
field.
The wheat will say a nice Thank
you" when it comes 10 the threshing
machine, and so will the two or three
crops that follow it

Machinery Will Reduce
Expense of Farm Labor

The farmer who struggles along
with poor seed, poor ground and poor
equipment is paying for good seed,
fertilizer, and good equipment whether
he owns them or not. He pays be-
cause he cannot compete on even
ground with the progressive farmer
who uses all the means at his. COM
mand for increasing his yield and
lowering his labor costs by using me-
chanical helpers. The price he pays
is smaller income and denial of the
things an increased income would buy.
Better farm life is the goal of all
who are engaged in or truly inter-
ested in agriculture This goal has
been reached by many, others are rap
idly achieving it, while far too many
think that the future holds nothing in
store for them, and use the means
within their grasp. Every one will
agree that the progress in the develop
ment and use Of agriculture has been
due in large measure to the develop
ment and use of machinery. The very
tact that man has become a director
of power instead of source of power
has an uplifting effect on his nature.
A real desire for better living is the
first essential in securing it Eaving
this desire, the next thing is TO obtain
an income large enough 10 provide il.
1t is here that proper equipment plays
its part by reducing the cost of pro-
ducing farm products and by increas-
ing the amount that the individual
worker produces.

Seed Not to Be Distributed
Before 1929.

Marquillo wheat, the new highly
rust-resistant variety developed by
the Minnesota agricultural station.
will not be distributed before 1929
This announcement is made by the
Minnesota station to correct an i'm
preston that has gone abroad in some
quarters that the seed is already be-
ing distributed.
There is available for seed next
year only 125 bushels of this new va
riety, and the experiment station staff
believes that the best results viii be
obtained if this seed is reserved and
again grown on the experiment sta
ton farms in 1928, in order to make
sure of the preservation of the seed
stock and of the production of suffi-
Gent quantity of genuine Marquillo
wheat to insure wide distribution in
the spring of 1929. There is in the
state no genuine stock of this variety,
recognized by experiment station off,
Gals, except that in possession Of the
experiment station.
The variety is the result of a cross,
made at University farm, between
Marquis, the standard bread wheat
Of the Northwest, and Iumillo. a dur
um wheat 1t is highly rust-resistant
and of good milling quality. The aim
is to get it into the hands of careful
