ON THE ROAD TO FAILURE

If you're grouchy and respondent,
pessimistic, sour or blue;
If, when luck seems against you, in
despair you say, I'm through"
If you think your life is hopeless
and decide all is woe,
You're on the Road to Failure-and
you haven't far to go.
If all's wrong about the world and
you alone are right;
If your speciality is knocking" and
to growl is your delight;
If you never stoop to help the other
fellow when he's low,
You're on the Road to Failure-and
you haven't far to go.

A bricklayer said to a foreman on
a new job: "Id like to work here,
but I can't find a place to park my

The foreman replied: 81 guess you
won't do. This is a high-class job
and we want only bricklayers who
have chauffeurs."

The critical period of mans
life is between the ages of forty and
sixty years. Men OVertaken at that
age must either turn absolutely
from the wrongs of life or be over
whelmed by them. Few men ever
right themselves after the age of
forty. Some Governors refuse to
pardon men after they have passed
the age of forty-fve. Most embez-
elements, the confirmed drunkards.
and marriage storms, occur around
this age. The heart is the final ar

sources of credit without successfully
negotiating a loan, the only remaining
alternative was the high-rate lender.
