Making Good in COrdova.
(Cordova Times. )


 Some young men and women leave Cordova as soon as they are out of school, and some leave before. Other things being equal, do those who leave the home town do better than those who remain? It is doubtful whether check or cen sus" ever has been taken to find out the answer.
 There are good, sound why one can succeed in ones home town. There may be equally good why one should leave the home community, but they constitute the ex- captions.
 It is common of course to hear of many young and ambitious people seeking their for tunes in distant lands and in great cities. Dis tance itself lends entertainment to the idea that such persons have made wonderful successes of themselves. They may have done so But on strict analysis of the respective situations of the majority, a great many things have to be dis counted
 When Bill or Jack or Harry gets away from home his first impulse is to write 10 the folks back home, telling them what wonderful job and fine surroundings he has, He doesn't want his old friends to know that his choice of loca- ton was not the result of his own good judg- ment His new intention and environment make for inspiration. The flash of new people, new scenery, conditions, enthuse him to paint a glorious picture. The folks back home, little restless themselves let their imaginations begin to work. They see the green fields in which Bill or Jack Harry is now pasturing.
 Then what happens? The first impressions received from any one of this trio of wanderers becomes final with the home people. Bill or Jack or Harry has made good' they say, and the gossip passes from lip to lip and then dies away.
 The sparkling diamonds are in our own back yards if will but look for them.
 Fortune smiles, perhaps not as wistfully but Ieertainly as wholesome upon the person who be- leves in his town works for his town, and stays in his town. saW
 Hard work and right thinking know no loca- tion and common to all lines of endeavor. The act of making good' is not confined to the mere accumulation of wealth to the self sustained indulgence in heroics. Making good includes also the forming of lasting friendships the serving of public needs the protection of in- dvidual rights It includes loyalty and coopera- tion thrift and perseverance,, morality justice and self-respect.
 Beware of the pantive song of the siren that lures to disappontments If not succeed in Cordoya among friends, where one has learned to know the good and avoid the bad, the chances are his path will not be strewn with many elsewhere. Besides, making good in Cordova seems much more like "mak- l ing best,"--a more complimentary achievement with greater opportunity for service than making good anywhere else.
